It is worse tban lobster. Of course,
there are times when a simple beef

dangerous. It dilutes the gastric

to permit it to be easily digested.
It is the greatest cause of dyspepsia

caused by eating soup.'

me. how is she?"
"Burled her yesterday." said the

PART n. CHAPTER IL V'
Continued.
Opposite Stelnliausen sat Haopt
mann Ghering, and the former cotiU |
hardly bring himself to answer Ijbe
good-humored comuaoniVtce remarks
addressed to him by his successful
rival, as he notlccd the assiduity tflth
which that audacious little dark-eyed
cousin waited upon b!&, sweetened his
coffee, heaped cake upon his plate,
and absolutely leaned ber band upon
his Shoulder.
It was too barefaced! Bet his atten
tion was agreeably diverted.
He was delightfully surprised by tHe
quiet care bestowed upon him by Llsft.
In after days he reflected with cur
prlse on the pieces of .cake he de
voured and the cups of coffee be called
for on that memorable occasion.
It was so heavenly to have the cake
handed over his shoulder by Lies*
small firm band, and, turning to thank
her, to find her sweet eyes and lips so
near, and yet, alas! so far.
Why was she so dlstractlngly kiud?
Was it really meruit for lilui. or de
fiance of his opposite neighbor?
If the latter, it was unwise to rouse
suspicion at that stage of affairs.
Indeed, Stelnliausen, was beginning
to wish he was away in the solitude
of his own rooms, that lie might tblnlt
over some wild plans that would Sug
gest themselves to Ills imagination.
Matters were evidently becoming dps
perate between the Hauptmann and
his injured wife, and
Well, divorce is not such a tremen
dous affair In Germany, especially
when a husband has no objection,
though he was not so engrossed by his
pretty attendant as not to cast angry
glances at Stelnliausen occasionally
toward the end of the repast.
At last, as the vigor of the onslaught
somewhat relaxed, the kindly Burgo
mei8ter. standing up in his place, called
aloud that they would have no more
of daylight than would permit them to
view the ruins? at least, such of them
as were disposed to undertake the steep
and slippery ascent. >
"I*et those who follow me hold up
tlieri hands."
Two thirds of t lie party obeyed.
Come, comer cried the Doctor, to
Steinhausen, "tills Is too much!
"Dnnclng last night, driving this
morning, climbing tills afternoon!
"I positively cannot allow my patient
such license.
"Stay here by the 'Ofen* quietly and
rest, while we niuke the ascent.
"I have a Journal In my pocket, very
much at your service, and perhaps *"
"My good friend." interruptvd Stein
hausen, resolutely, "I feel strong
enough to set you at ditianee, and I ?m
determined to see the ruins. There is
no use In talking to me;" and, missing
Lies as he turned around, be went
hastily into a small outer room or en
tranee hall, where, rather to his sur
prise, he found the object of his search
In elose conversation with Uurehardt.
They were evidently enjoy hig a good
Joke, for Hurchardt was laughing loud
ly, and l/ies' mirth, though les* noisy,
was fully as hearty.
Both stopped on perceiving the Major,
and. on his asking what amused them.
Lies was silent, and Hurchardt. replied
that he (Steinhausen) should know ull
shout it before the dny was over.
The party was soon ready for the
ascent, and with many sliding, ulip
pings. and not a few falls, with jest
and laughter, and much good-humored
chaff, they climbed the steep hillside
Burcluirdt making himself excessively
obnoxious by keeping at the side of
I 'ran Ghering. and talking In tlnrmost
heedless way of (hat husband of hers?
a topic evidently unwelcome to the un
happy wife.
At length, /?* they approached s
stiffer part of the ascent, Hurchardt
suddenly found the exeiilon too much
for him. and turned hack to join the
older and nior? indolent members of
the company who had staved behind.
Tliis move, 'lowever, did little in

unable to resist the painful ?. time (ion
of one subject.
"I'lun may I ask? when when your
unfortunate marriage took place?"
"indeed, you may not!" she replied,
quickly, "This Is a topic on which I
cannot bear to speak."
"I b-g your pardon for forcing It on
you. ' he returned ; "but one day you
? will tell nie all, you will treat me with
lije my deepest, tenjlero*t
sympathy deserves."
"Major von Steinhausen knows there
is a barrier? j?" ?he began, in low
tones, with averted head.
"I do," he answered; "but need It be
insuperable?"
"Let me tell you about these ruins,"
she Interrupted^ hastily.
"You know the ?Kloster' was built
by Celestlne monks whom the Emperor
Charles the Fourth brought from Avig
non. The architect "
"Lies," said Hauptmann Ghering,
coming up behind them, "I wish you
would come to Gretchen, she ii faint
and unwell; I am certain she has
caught a chill; do come."
"This Is the most barefaced conduct
I ever witnessed," thought Stelnhau
sen, gazing after them with profound
amazement, as Lies, without a word
of apology, turned at once aud accom
panied the Hauptmann in the direc
tion from which he liiul come.
"I did not think LI?* would have
submitted so tamely; she does not
seem afraid of the fellow either.
"There is something about it all I
catinot understand," and he walked
slowly on alone, not by any means tak
ing the deep interest in the beautiful
ruins which he ought to have done.
Falling in presently with the Burgo
melster, they had an agricultural con
versation about the resources of the
district, the Amount of wheat per acre
I produced, etc., till the worthy leader
I of the ? expedition gave the word of
command to descend.
Steinhauseu took his stand on a
piece of rock, and saw the company tile
past, the fair invalid hanging on the
llauptuia tin's arm, who supported her
steps with the utmost care and tender
ness.
Lies followed, the Burgomeister's
(laughter hanging on her arm? to this
?air Steinhauseu accordingly joined
himself.
The descent was considerably more
ditUcult than the climbing up. and
Steinhauseu found 'lie had enough to
do to help the two ladies.
"Ilerr Major, can you not confide one
of these ladles to my care?" cried a
young '(Juts Besitzer,' who had turned
back to meet them; "you have too much
and I too little to do."
"Kiiauben Sie mlr. gnadiges Frau
leui," and he offered his arm to the
j oungi r girl. who immediately accepted
it. and went merrily on.
Steinhausen then drew Lies' nrm
through his own .and they proceeded
for some way In silence.
At last he asked:
"When will you explain to me the
mysteries with which you seem to be
surrounded?"
"Why should you be called upon to
attend to that? that girl to whom your
husband Is so shamelessly devoted?
Tell me!"
"Major von Steinhausen." she Inter
rupted, in a low, unsteady voice, "I
must beg of you not to question me
now; have patience and to-morrow you
shall have a full explanation? a written
expla nation of all that puzzles you.
"That is due to the? the Interest you
express and seem to feel."
"Seem!" cried Steinhausen. "Can you
think it seeming?"
"I? I believe it is real," Blic returned,
and Steinhausen fancied he felt a slight
pressure on his arm, to which he
warmly responded; but all lie said
wa?; "Thank you."
The remainder of the descent was ac
complishcd almost in silence, but with
an amount of tender care on the port
of her companion very intelligent to
Lies.
At length they reached the little

already drawn up.

"Ah! that Is a long story," replied
his companion, the color coming back
to her cheeks, and a sweet, conscious
smile to her lips, as she proceeded to
relnte the history, interrupted by per
tinent questions from Steinhauseu.
which drew out minuter details.
Lies, it appeared, had a sister a few
yours older than herself, to whom sdie
had beeu fondly attached. aud whom
she closely resembled.
Tills sister was early married to her
cousin, the Hauptmann Ghering? a
very happy but short-lived uuion.
At the end of two years the young
wife was carried off by fever, leaving
an infant daughter first to afflict and
then to comfort the bereaved father.
About a year and a half after the
deatli of her ulster, Lies wns greatly
surprised by a proposal from liei
cousin that she should be that sister s
successor, and mother to the little
niece she cherished so fondly.
In Germany such a proposition had in
It nothing revolting, and although Lies
nt tlrst. from a personal Uisinclinatiou.
rejected her brothor-iu-law's offer, she
was over-persuaded, especially by her
mother, to accept it, stipulating only
that the engagement (jlmost as serious
an affair in Germany as a marriage)
should not be formally announced until
the second year of her brother-in-laws
widowhood had elapsed.
Beforo that period, a strong convic
tion had grown upon her that she
could not and ought not to completo
the sncr'llce urged upon her by her
family.
At length, by a tremendous effort of
moral courage, she brought herself to
explain hor difficulties to the Haupt
mann almself.
A most painful struggle ensued, for
the unhappy widower was more in
love with her than she believed, and
tK ?fi',.oluI? ^2cr'l,tiou at his dis
The war of 66 broke out at this
juncture of the family history, and
< L>ies had first to endure the great trial
of parting on unfriendly terms from
her cousin, for wlioin she had a ci i
?ere sisterly regard, and tbe:i the fur

wounded after Konlggratz. of his re
fusal to permit her to go nr.d nurse
him, or to come tj Villa Bellevue, t list
the whole family mij'lit care for and
tend hiru.
In this depressed tuocd, saddened
and sobered by the disappointment s'ic
had caused every one. she was roused
to a little of I:er eld playfulness by
i Inrchen's report cf the curiosity re
specting herself expressed by the
I russian Rittmelster when looking at
hor photograph, and which the little
Lacklischeiieu accidentally over
heard.
Lies determined that the intruder
should not be gratified, and gave the
servants strict Injunctions to that ef
fect.
Accident, and her father and not'ier's
warm sympathy with the rejected
Hauptmann, assisted her game, which
be unexpected fire and earnestness of
her Prussian admirer made more ear

Alany anxieties and serious josrp?

was the aniiouvcement of her cousin

Then drawing lier to him, "I claim

and folded her iu a long, passionate

of the sleigh bells, the shrill shouting

Chorum Girls Way*. a
The stage and its environments as
a factor upon the morals and deport
ment of the Kir Is who compose the
chorus has been argued pro and con
for ages, but no solution is fully ac
cepted.
Many prisons depict tho life of the
chorus girl as one of danger, studded
with innumerable pitfalls. An equal
number of opinions uphold stage lift
by saying there are good and bad
people In every employment, and that
stage girls are usually deserving ot
greater consideration than is accord
ed them.
One thing !n which nearly all chor
us girls are alike is indifference to
their word. These girls care little for
their promises. To the average chor
us girl a signed contract is like a
piece of waste paper, unless she real
ly wants the engagement. In that
case she will hold on to the contract
like grim death.
Managers are busy men, but they
have been known to resort to law to
compel the heedless young lady tc
respect the paper she has signed.?

The Summer Qirls' Dress.
The 1!M)6 Summer girls will be
froeked in frills anil furbelows de
lightfully feminine, writes Helen
Berkely-Loytl in The Delineator for
July. From parasol to boot tip,
curves, dainty touches, and artistic
color effects will distinguish every
thing they wear. Their elders, too.
make a generous use of color. They
are permit ling it to appear in their
tweed trotteurs and motor coats, and
their afternoon and dinner gowns of
light, silken fabrics, are as often of
the new mauve-blue and the warm
American Heautv shades a soft white
or the always charming pastel tinls.
The semi-tailored gowns, tnan
made though they are, emphasize
feminine curves in a marked degree,
and show the most graceful effects.
The bolero is seen on a great many
of these gowns, the shorter ones hav
ing a eeinture attached that is en
tirely new.
The sleeves as a rule, are puffs to
the elbow, or half-way to the wrist.
They are finished with a velvet-inlaid
cuff that Hares considerably.
Among the 1 if t le accessories that
the Summer girl is wearing, are
bracelets of black velvet held with
jeweled buckles, and wisps of tulle
twisted about the upper arm and the
wrist, tied in llulTy hows. Ann or
glove "niters of satin ribbon, shirred
over elastic and edged with frills of
lace aiul ribbon are quite new, and
as practical as they are ornamental.
IT PAYS TO CAPON I ZE.
A gain of four pounds per head In
weight and of ten cents per pound
in price is quite worth while when you
remember that It can be done on about
the same amount of feed. It Is wise
to caponize every cockerel not waflted
for breeding. There Is very little pain
caused by the operation if done skil
fully and at the right time ? lens pala
than is often endured by cockerels in
thc/r fights with one another. Hut the
writer will never forget the cold chills
It caused him to witness the bungling
attempts of some of the pupils at a
poultry school. It Is rank cruelty to
practice such an operation without
first working on dead birds.
