laden with a loaf of bread, a little bot
tle of cl terry brandy, a package of to-
bacco and a little sum of money.
Tho old man scolded me smilingly
on account of my tattling, tasted tho
drink, nodded his gray head with sat
isfaction and turned to Ids workgain.
That consisted in plucking some gold
hammers whose necks ho had wrung.
“Really,” he said, “it is a sin to take
a singing bird's life, bat this one is a
very common'* nuisance, so there is no
harm in it. When he no longer finds
anything to eat In the fields, be flics
to the barns screaming: ‘Hire me!
hire me!’ And after be has spent the
whole winter long fattening with the
farmers, and spring comes, then he
flies away, crying: ‘Parmer, keep
your wages.’ ^ So f have^o scruples
about wringing the mean little crea
ture’s neck, and besides the fellow
tastes very good. Bull need a little
butter or fat for broiling them. How
would it do, neighbor, if you were to
f o to your mother and ask her for a
fctle butter.; she would not deny you ?”
I brougfit what was required; the
birds were broiled and a half hour later
we sat opposite one another at the fes
tival meal and Were in high spirits.
“Don’t eat too much brown bread 1”
admonished the old man. “It is too
heavy for your delicate stomach, and
ii you should overload trthe hight 1

Do you know it?"
“Of course I do. When you are ly

tho next week I did not miss a single
dance, for I hoped to meet the strange
oung woman again, but I did not boo
her anywhere. An extraordinary
thought camo into my mind. What
if after all she was the nightmare, I
thought
“Soon after a little property fell to
me, so that t |was able to become &
master shoemakers I established a
work shop In the shoemakers’ street,
and when I had everything in order I
invited tho masters of tho art to a din
ner. We had a high time. We had
beer soup and roast' pig with vegeta
bles in abundance. Besides wo had
Bavarian beer to drink, and at last
when we were all right merry I placed
before my guests—there were eleven
of them, and I made the twelfth—two
bottles of wine. Then their eyes grew
as big as saucers. ”
Herejdr. Zapf stopped,in his kccount
and took a swallow of brandy.
“Go on,” I urged, “go on.’ f ^
“When the shoemaker^ had gone,”
continued the narrator, “I sat down
in ray easy chair, to rest from the ex
citement and fell asleep.”
“Aha 1” I exclaim excitedly, “I know
now comes,the nightmare.”
“Quite right,” affirmed Zapf. “Sud

A wayfaring couple canto to the
home of a prominent uptown clergy
man and asked to have the marriage
ceremony performed. The bridegroom,
a boyish looking fellow, was in deep
est mourning from tho hat band,
whose breadth entirely covered the
shiny silkiness of his tile, down to his
black gloves. . s
During tho conduct of t he usual pre
liminaries to tho service, thehlergy-
man, partly from mild professional
interest and partly to relieve the strain
of the situation to the bridegroom,
said: “You are in mourning, I see; is
it for some one very near?”
“Sr—well—yes, doctor,” stammered
the man, “you see, I’m a widower,
and my black is for my first wife.”
“But bless my soul,' man, why didn’t
you leave off black for your first wife
before you came to, be married to a
second?” asked the startled clergyman,
pausing in the act of transcribing:
“Ago of the bride, 23.”
“Well, doctor?” h# - explained, “I
wanted to do what was right by my
first wife. ‘ She ain’t been dead quite a
year yet, and I thought it was only de
cent to keep on my black till the year I
was up, you know.” — New Yorkj

Out iu Jtao wild west a mail bag
emptied of vaXBble coijUsnta by parties
unknown and filled with stones. The
loss was not discovered until tbe bag
reached its destination, aud no one
had any notion where the theft was
committed within a thousand miles of
the journey. But a petrologist was
shown the rocks, aud ho said at once
that there was only one place in "the
United States where such were to bo
found. Ho told where the place was,"
and a detective going there—it was
450 miles away—found two Chinamen
