Lalo odo evening un old knight made
hts way wearily down from a nish
ponte of Ute Harr. mountains into the
vulloy. His natue was licuthold, ami
lie had formerly held sway over all
iliad tntct of country, but ho had been
liri von out from his possessions by the
superior might of a rich baron, and tho
usurper now lived in tho houurod an
cestral halls, for a glimpse of which
thc aged Lcuthejcl climbed the wooded
heights by his cottage as long as they
were passable and gazed at the two
tall towers until the sun set. Then the
old mau went down again into the val
ley, where he was allowed to Jive un
molested, being considered harmless
and powerless, for his only heir, a high
spirited young fellow, the hero of
many a battlcliold, had fallen in de
fense of his father's hearth. On his
way horne the (might always passed a
. .liapel which he hatl had erected in
hotter days anti where the body of the
young lord, sleeping his honorable
sleep, lay entombed. Then the father
would kneel before the door of the lit
tle buildlug and say a Pater Nosier for
tho soul of his dear Sigebald, lie did
so today also. Then he rose and looked
longingly through the window, but he
could not even see the collin, for it
stood iu a niche iu the wall behind the
altar, and immediately after Iiis sou
was laid to rest the bereaved father,
overcome by his grief, had flung the
key of the door into the rushing tor
rent of tie Bude. He rued it bitterly'
now, for the pour man lacked money
to have a new key made for thc elabo
rate lock, and so he had cut off himself
and his good wife and his niece, Dio
twina, who had been Sigebald's betroth
ed, from the precious remains of their
dearest happiness. Never before had
his longing been so great as ou this
evening. He gazed at the door with
passionate yearning. He almost be
sought lt to give way. and felt that it
must perforen yield to his desire, But
it stood Arm and immovable before
him. It would scarcely allow the rust
ed latch to be moved up and down suf
licicntly to proye the' strength with
which every part of thc brazen clamp
did its duty. After the old mon had
tried the door in vain for awhile he
turned away and went back to his cot
tage, shakiug his head aud with tears
in his eyes.
He found his wife walting for him
with the frugal evening meal.
"Where is Diotwina'r" he asked.
"She has gone to her room," replied
the dame. "Today ls thc anniversary
of her betrothal to Sigebald, which, as
you know, she always spends in fast
ing and solitude/'
The knight sighed deeply and was si
lent a. long time. At leugiu. he asked:
"How much money have wc got laid
aside now S"
"Not quite two gulden."
"And the locksmith's price for a new
key ls"
"i?hree gold gulden."
Then the old man fell to sighing
again and looked searchingly around
tho room.
"No/? said the dame, "there Is noth
ing more to see here. There Is only
one thing. Thc locksmith would glad
ly give us a couple of gulden for it."
"Ton mean that!" exclaimed the old
man, looking up*at bis sword, which
hung on the walt Hts wife nodded in
assent. But he jumped up Indignantly
and cried: x , .
"God forbid! 1 shall db no more work
with the old blade in this world, it is
true, but it has earned the Tight to lie in
honor on my collin. Sigebald himself,
looking down from paradise, would
scarce forgive me if 1 parted with the
faithful old weapon."
The dame begau to weep behind her
wrinkled band, for she remembered
how her dead son had played, us a
beautiful, merry boy, with the old
sword and lisped of future victories.
Then both ihe old people became si
lent, put ouz their light and went to
bed.
Toward midnight thc old knight
heard strange sounds and cries ringing
through the valleys.' From one of tho
heights a light like a great flame shone
through tho window of the little room.
He was about to got* pp to see what "lt
might be, but his wife said:
"Lie still, husband. I have heard it
for a long time and* have been praying
silently, lt ls surely some unholy march
of the Mad army."
"H,'mP' said T,euthoid, "I have often
heard the Wild Hunter rush past in
mighty forests, but Ibis ls quite a.dif
ferent thing."
. "Then it must be witchcraft of some
sort/.' said his wife, "Who Imo wu what
may be happening upon the Brocken?
I iHig you to Ile still and to curb your
cariosity."
;
Tbc oki man yielded to hi'S wire s en
I treaties, lay quiet aud prayed softly.
But after awhile be began agalu:
"Wife, some oue ?3 rldiug a horse
past our window just as our blessed
soil used to ride."
She trembled and urged him with
gentle voice to be still. But after a lit
tle the old man said agalu:
"Did you not hear bow some one on
the mountain called out: 'Wheel!
Charge?* lt came distinctly through
the storm. But shortly before our
Sigebald fell he gave Just such a cry."
"If you wish to kill me with fear aud
anguish." said lils wife, "or to rob me
of my reason, keep on with such words.
It will take very little more."
i So the old man held his pence and
kept his thoughts, which were many
and strange, in his own breast. The
wonderful tumult ceased also or was
lost iii other valleys, aud toward
morning the old people fell asleep.
The bright sunlight shone agalu over
the mountains, the dame was already
seated at her distan*, and the knight
was going out to hoe and spade his lit
tle patch at the door and said:
"It ls wonderful how the riddles and
ghostly happenings of the night, when
otiee they have forced themselves luto
a man's brain, refuse to go to rest
again. I dreamed until bright day
light of the harvest festival sus we used
to celebrate it in happier days at our
oitl home"
"How strange'." Interrupted the
dame. "I also dreamed ol' it. The
peasants came lo thc courtyard of the
castle with shining scythes, their wive.;
aral daughters bearing their rakes, tie*.!
with many ribbons. The harvest ?TOwi.
shone brilliantly in tile blue of the
bright summer day. and. alas: before ii
walked cay dear, dear hoy as a young
child. wound round and round with ".
chain of blue cornflowers, a beautiful
wreath like thal of a bridegroom on his
head and a great red dower on his
breast. And 1 knew the red dower
well."
She bowed ber head, and the knight,
to turn lier thoughts rrom tho death
wotiud of ber only son. said:
"The singing was the most wonder
ful to me. liven after I awoke I still
heard the solemn hymn which tho
band had suug, and at this moment I
seem to hear it over the mountain*;,
coming nearer and uearer dowu the
wooded slope. Indeed, now that 1
open the door, the souud seems to
come more plainly."
The dame heard it also and rose iu
speechless astonishment to step out
side tile door, leaning on her husband's
arm, to look for the cause of the unac
customed noise, emboldened by the
cheerful morning beams which gilded
the trees and the dewy grass under
them, but still more emboldened by
the reverent character of the hymn,
which came steadily uearer. Shawms
and reed pipes mingled with the slug
ing.
As the elderly couple stood at thc
door they could see. through the trunks
of thc beeches, a crowd of people with
gleamiag scythes in their hands: some,
however, had also naked halberds and
spears.
"Ah. heavens!" cried tho dame. "It
is uot yet harvest time. Ami why ?lo
they come thus, with song and rejoic
ing? See how red the morning sun
shines on their scythes."
"H'm! There must have been a grave
mowing somewhere," muttered thc
knight. He knew the red on the bare
steel far too well to take It, as did his
wife, for the reflection of the morning
sun.
Meanwhile the peasants had formed
a semicircle around the venerable pair
und out from their ranks, between the
scythes and lances which they brand
ished as they finished their song, step
ped Diotwlna with radiant face. She
went up to the astonished couple ant'

good trait. Herc at the edge of thc
wood these heroes met me, and thej
wish that you hear the tidings fron
my lips. They have reconquered yout
castle. The country is free, the op
prcssor is dead!"
The old knight stared around hin
as if he had again fallen into tin
dreams of the previous night. Thea tin
oldest of tho armed "-Misants approach
ed, a venerable graybeard, like his mas
ter, and, taking the spade and hoi
gently from his band, he placed ii
their stead an ancient silver staff. In

captured with the other family relics
Then the circle of men raised a grea
shout of joy, repeating Dictwlna't
words, "The country ls free. The op
prcssor is dead!" over and over am
striking their weapons against om
another so that they clanked jubilant
"It is all true." said the old peasan
to the still Incredulous pair. "You
brother's eon. Richard, has return ot
from the crusade, my liege, and ha
brought these wonderful things to pas
since yesterday evening, when he fin
showed himself here. He must hav
known how we all longed for onr oli

that wc felt compelled to take u;

not be otherwise. Then the storm bell

Thc old nobleman blessed his bravt
faithful people with wide, outstretel
ed arms. Tho horses Were led fortl
thcr* three were lifted Into the saddle
and the journey to the castle w;;s lu

Thc old peasant walked beside hi

Ile had stretched out Ids right hand
toward heaven as if takln? a solemn
oath. The procession halted in amaze
ment and looked at the impetuous old
man. but his wife was deathly pale.
and nt length she said sadly:
"Husband, husband, what have you

be found with hair so White? Look

Yonder ls the chapel within which nur

The old night's head sank upon his
breast, anti lie sighed
"lt is ever tints! Heaven confers its

The whole band regarded their dis

I "Father and mother, do not grieve.

And. turning tau ard the i ld pea saut,
she continued:

. Who. then, could lt have ln/ou but Sir
Richard? Though, in truth, no one
saw his features, for he kept his visor

j ' Then let me tell what happened to
j me last night." said Diotwina in a
j clear voice, "and give careful heed to
what I say. for I speak the pure truth
as a pure maiden should. 1 stood at
my window, and my tears fell upou a
beautiful myrtle bush which lu former
happy days i had intcuded for my
bridal wreath. Now lt hod reached the
fullness of its beauty, but the feast
which it should have graced was never
to bc. I was Interruptetl in this and
other like thoughts by a slight uoise
outside the door of my room. I could
distinctly lutar some one coming up
the little stairway with soft, light
steps, but With clanking spurs, and, as
father and mother had long siuce goue
to bed, 1 was afraid. Then the door
was pushed half open anti an arm in
cased in steel was thrust inside my
room, holding a scar." which 1 had em
broidered for my betrothed and which
was laid iu the collin with him. Then
Sigebald'? voice said :
" 'It ls I. May I come In without
frightening you to death?'
"'In God's name!'/1 cried, trembling
with fear and hope.
"Then thc pale youth stepped slowly
and gravely into the room, clad In
armor, with raised visor. I knew thc
dear features well, bat yet I had not
the courage to gaze straight luto his
helmet, so I do not know whether his
eyes were fixed and hollow, like those
a of a corpse, or glowing with tender
love, as they were In life.
"'Do yon still need the myrtle for
your marriage day?* ho asked me kind
ly.
) "I shook my head.
j ?? 'Nevermore, truly?'
j "I shook my bead again.
! " .Then/ he begged coaxingly, gentle
and true hearted as he ever was in
life, 'weave mo a wreath of victory of
it, my dear little bride. For, see, lt is
permitted me to accomplish the work
j of revenge and deliverance in this pale,
. earthly form, and when it is again laid
in Its collin lt will take the wreath of
victory with lt.'
j "I bound and bouud deftly and twin
! cd all thc blossoms Into a beautiful
wreath. My betrothed stood, sileut and
patient, at the door. When I had finish
ed, he knelt before ne. I set the wreath
i on his helmet, and he rose, saying:
" 'Do not be alarmed, dear love, if
I you hear the din of battle in the val
' leys. God tins, given the victory into
my hand/
"And then he took leave of mc, sc
sweetly that all my fear vanished, and
I I had to smile after him as I used tc
do when he left mo for a merry joust.
Only when ? heard him gallop away or
his horse so fast and so eagerly inte
the night did the terrer come over mc
again.
"Now you know who your deliverer
was. dear, faithful people, and If you
i will open tho chapel and the collin, as I
pray you to do, the victor's wreath on
the helmet of my betrothed will bear
testimony to the truth of my words."
\ The people looked at one another in
doubt and silence. Thc suspicion rose
In many minds that Dlotwlna's brain
had been affected by the wonderful
events of tho night, and perhaps aise
by a terrible dream; but when they re
called how calmly she had come ott)
i of the cottage to meet them at thc
edge of the wood there was no longoi
j room for this, Idea, aud indeed thc
i peasants remembered that their leader,
! after lie had assembled them, had
j been missing for a space and had re
t turned with a beautiful wreath crown
lng his helmet. So it was done as Dio
I' twina begged. The chapel was op?neu
and thc dame, who was doubtful
whether the bones of her precious tleatl
! ought to bo exposed to view so tinda
? clously, was satisfied by the peasants'
promise to keep guard at tin? tomb un
j til the door and lock were made fasi
again. But when lt was seen whai
powerful resistance the rusted door of
fered, belief in the apparition scemex!
crushed to death In every heart by thc
weight of the material world. Onlj
Diotwina smiled confidently and await
ed the proof ot her words.
Back rolled the cover of the collin
and there, with a smile upon his lips
lay thc young hero in full armor, th<
visor raised and upon his head ile
wreath of victory made of the niyrtlt
bush of his betrothed. Then all stint
upon their knees and praised God.

mean a kind of stove which i have

they speak of American duels, and
mean a crazy type of duel which was
certainly never fought on this conti

of humbug which nourishes in Berlin

Don't Worry AI>oat Salarlo*.
"What salaries arc paid m tllfl'ereut
business callings is a question often
asked by young men and one which
joems to eater luto their deliberations
as a qualifying factor as to whether ?
they shall cuter certain trades or pro- j
fessions," writes Edward Bok lu The
Ladles' Home Journal. "I never could ;
quite see the point of this nor the rea- j
sou for it. What are the salaries which
are paid to others to you or to mo? i
They signify nothing. If the highest
salary paid to the foremost man iu a j
certalu profession Is ? 10.000 a year,
what does lt prove or signify? Then?
is no obstacle to some one's else going
into that same profession and earning
$20.000. The Ilrst step in going into
business ls to Hud out not which spe
cial line is most profitable, but which
linc you are most interested in and are
best titted for. Then drive ahead, and
the salary will take care of Itself,

A well known botanist propounds
the question, "Have plants the power
of reason or any way of determining
what is golug on around them?" The
question, though he admits it appears
rather fantastic, is prompted by ob
servations he made a few weeks ago.
His daughter was tending a morning
glory vine at home, when a delicate
tendril reached out toward, a nail in
the casing. The botanist proceeds:
"She marked the position of the ten
dril with a pencil on the wood and then
shifted the nail about nn inch lower.
Next day the little feeler had deflected
itself very noticeably and was sgain
heading for the nail.
"The marking and shifting were re
peated four or live times, always with
the same result, and Anally one night
thc tendril, which had grown consider
ably, managed to reach the coveted
support, and we found it coiled tightly
around lt."'
Other little experiments of a similar
nature are put forward in support of
tho botaulst'3 theory.-London Mall.

Baseball league, Is marked with a
tombstone in the shape of a baseball.
When Mr. Hulbert died, in 1882, some
of lils old associates set about to show
their love and respect for him, and
the result was the monument in Grace
land cemetery. Chicago.
Thc baseball ls made of red granite,
about 20 Inches In diameter, showing
thc seams as they appear upon the
balls used ia the regulatlou games.
Across thc top appears in raised let

other those of the other four-Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit.
Also there is a headstone of white

he had suddenly collapsed. I UH tem
perature showed mo that 1 had a seri*
ons case on my hands, though 1
couldn't tell for the life of me what
was the matter with bim.
"1 hurried him Into tho hospital, put
him to bod and explained the extraor
dinary feature of bis case to tho
'house.' The 'house' took his tempera
ture again, lind it was 111! Then we
drugged him and drugged him and
gave his feet cold bal hs and took hid
temperature again, lt lind run up in
Hil. Anti there didn't seem to he any
thing Hie matter with him outside of
that.
-"-Everybody in the hospital gol tn
talking about the case. When the 'at
tending' wont through the ward tho
'house' hurried him by that CJ erma ll.
He didn't want to confess thal lie wai
staggered. The patient didn't grow
any worse. He maintained a constant
ly high temperature anywhere between
110 and 125, nut! we kept up the drugs
and the cold foot baths.
"One day the 'attending' noticed the
case and asked how long that man was
going to be kept In bed to cure a sore
elbow. Then the nurse told him. 'Take
his temperature,' said the 'attending.'
"Tho nurse put the thermometer in
thc man's mouth uuder thc tongue mri
the doctor watched narrowly. All of a
sudden lie walked up to the bed. 'Got
out of here! Oct up and dress and
don't let me sec you again,' he said
sternly to the patient.
"Ami in lin If an hour the mun was
out on the sidewalk. You see that
doctor was an older man thun any of
us. He saw the man wns faking, that
he manipulated the thermometer In his
mouth so that by friction he could run
it up as high as he pleased.
"The next ?lay this same man was
picked up on the street and taken to
another hospital, and the same doctor
who was attending at bulli places
caught him there tho very lirst thing.
For three years 1 heard of that (.?or
inan, off and on, always with the same
patched ribs, sore elbow and extraor
dinary temperature. Why. one doctor
up in Connecticut wrote a paper for ti
medical review in which he said he
had found a man apparently in normal
health with a temperature of 1'57! lt
was our malingerer.
"It couldn't have been uuy fun ei

with hypodermics, cold water und so

Onions, from leeks to Bermudas, arc
bleaching to tho skin, and so are lem
ons, asparagus and celery. Spinach is
the broom of the stomach, as tho
French say, and sorrel, In soup of pu
ree, as they cook it lu the provinces
and at. the students' restaurants in
the Latin quarter, is a great beautifier.
Dandelion, lettuce and all the salads
will bring out tho red and white tints
of the skin.
Beets, carrots, tomatoes, strawber

berries are red und .blooduinkiug, de
veloping infantile loveliness in cheeks
and Hps if eaten, not now and then,
but three times a day. This is the

Pineapple is good for the stomach
and air passages.' Bice, nil cereals and
while vegetables, snell an cauliflower
and parsnips, are whilesoine. But
pickles and pie crust, hot cakes and
too many sweets will make ono look
pasty, because they lack tin; acids and
salts which nature needs to cleanse
her machinery. Oil she must have,
too, lrom the olive and nut. to keep
tho internal wheels revolving.

- Imposition is the only position

by chowing a laek of self-confidence.
