He Wanted His
Adversary’s Ears
By MArtk HATHAWAY
At a table d’hote in Berlin a party
or Americans sat dining and chatting
with each other in their native lan
guage. The party consisted of a fa
ther, mother, a daughter nlneteer
years old and a young man, also ar
American, whose method of speaking
Indicated that he was a southerner
Opposite these persons sat a couple ol
young men In the uniform of the Ger
man army. Hearing those opposite
them conversing in English, but not
being sure that none of them spoke
German, they refrained for a time
from saying anyttiing that they would
not like to have overheard.
But finally the younger of the two
remarked to his friend in a low tone
that the young lady opposite was very
pretty. The other cautioned him to
say nothing about the party in their
hearing, but without effect. The young
man made several remarks that were
complimentary with a view to testing
the Americans’ comprehension of the
German language, and when he dis
covered that they paid no attention to
him he gathered confidence and criti
cised them unmercifully.
It happened that the young man sit
ting beside the young lady was a stu
dent at a German university. Ills
name was Thlbadeaux and his home
was New Orleans. He was a member
of a dueling corps and at tlie time its
champion. He spoke German fluently,
and, though he pretended not to un
derstand what the pair were saying,
he took in every word. While chat
ting with his young lady companion
the question arose as to the date of
tlie blowing up of the tower of the
castle of Heidelberg. Thibndenux said
that he would ask one of tlie officers
opposite. Then he said in German to
the younger of the two:
“Herr, I have heard your remarks
about our party and especially the
young lady on my right. Kindly tell
me where a friend of mine will find
you after dinner.”
The man addressed saw from the
young lady’s—Miss Arehard’s—action
thnt she was ignorant of what was
being said nnd, though he colored
slightly, did not give the matter away.
He could only give the address re
quired and his name, which was Von
Wragler.
“What does he say?” asked Miss Ar
chard.
“He says he doesn’t know.”
After dinner Thibadeaux left the oth
ers to smoke, but more especially to
find a fellow student named Reinhart.
Reinhart, who acted for Thibadeaux
in the affair, said nothing as to his
principal being a student in Germany,
a member of a corps or a champion
with the small sword. A meeting was
arranged in a wood near the city,
where a number of duels had been
fought, for tlie next morning at 0
o’clock.
Thibadeaux, having smoked Ills ci
gar, returned to Miss Archard and
spent the rest of the evening with her.
But by 10 o’clock she gave a slight
yawn, which she hastened to cover
with her handkerchief, and her visitor
soon bade her good evening without
giving the slightest hint that in the
morning he would risk his life in her
behalf. Indeed, he was not sorry to
depart, for he knew Reinhart was
waiting for him to give him the final
details for the meeting. These having
been transmitted and approved, Thi
badeaux went to bed. Heinhart was
to call for him the next morning at 4.
Bong before daylight the second
burst Into the room and stood over
Thlbadeanx’s bed.
“Is It 4 o’clock?” asked the latter,
trying to rouse himself.
“No; It Is but 3.”
“Then why do you awaken me?”
“To show you that.”
lie shoved a paper um|p- Thiba
deaux’s nose and held a lamp, which
he had lighted, so that his friend could
read It.
"An apology!” exclaimed Tldba
deaux. “What does It mean? Surely
that young officer would uot dare to
apologize under a challenge, lie will
be tabooed by his brother officers.”'
“Not under the circumstances. It's
your fault that the affair has goue
amiss. What induced you to give a
challenge in the presence of the wom
an about whom the duel was to have
beep fought?”
“Miss Archard! She doesn't under
stand a word of Germun.”
“Perhaps she doesn’t. Kut what these
women don’t hear with their ears they
see with their eyes. The young lady
must have known that you were giv
ing a challenge, for at midnight she
called upon Von Wragler in company
with an escort. He was in bed, hut
dressed himself and came down to re
ceive her. She said that she knew he
was to fight you, but since the duel
was about her he should fight her first.
He tried to explain that if he fought
a woman he would be disgraced,
whereupon she said she would accept
an apology. Von Wragler offered to
apologize to her, but fight you. To this
she demurred.
"Finally Von Wragler, fearing the
affair, which was to his discredit,
would reach the ear of the emperor,
consented to write you an apology, with
the understanding that the affair was
to be kept a secret Miss Archard
gave this pledge for you as well as
herself.”
“Ugh!” exclaimed Thlbadeaux. “I
wanted his ears to take back with me
to the university."

SPIRIT OF THE AIR.
It Permeate the Entire Being of the
Flying Bird.
The bird is little more than a drift of
the air brought into form by plumes.
The air is In all its quills It breathes
through its who'e frame and flesh and
glow: v,'i;I) air in its Hying, like brown
Humes. It rests upon the air. subdues
it, surpasses it, outraces it—is the air,
conscious of itself, conquering itself,
ruling itself. Also in the throat of
tlie bird is given the voice of the air.
All that In the mind itself is weak,
wild, useless in sweetness, is knit to
gether in its song.
As we may imagine the wild form of
the cloud closed into the perfect form
of the bird's wings, so the wild voice
of the cloud Into its ordered and com
manded voice, unwearied, rippling
through the clear heaven in its glad
ness, interpreting all intense passion
through the soft spring nigljts, bursting
into acclaim and rapture of choir at
daybreak or lisping and twittering
among the boughs and hedges, through
the heat of day, like little winds that
only make the cowslip bells shake and
ruffle the petals of the wild rose.
Also upon the plumes of the bird are
put the colors of the air; on these the
gold of the cloud that cannot be gath
ered by any covetousness; the rubies
of the cloud, that are not the pride of
Athena, but are Athena; the vermilion
of the cloud bar, and the flame of
the cloud crest, and the snow of the
cloud and its shadow, and the melted
blue of the deep wells of the sky—all
these, seized by the creating spirit and
woven by Athena herself into films
and threads of plume, with wave upon
wave following and fading along
breast and throat and opened wings,
infinite ns the dividing of the foam
and the sifting of the sea sand, even
the white down of the cloud seeming
to flutter up between the stronger
plumes—seen, but too soft for touch.
And so the spirit of the air is put into
and upon this created form, and it be
comes through twenty centuries the
symbol of divine help, descending as
the fire to speak, but as the dove to
bless.—From John Ruskin’s “The
Queen of the Air.”
REMBRANDT AN EASY MARK.
The Great Painter Was a Victim of
Reckless Speculation.
German art students who have been
investigating the reason why Rem
brandt died hopelessly bankrupt have
discovered that he was an incorrigible
speculator. It had hitherto been pop
ularly supposed that he was compelled
to remain poor because of his extrava
gant love of jewels.
Unfortunate speculations turn out
to have been the cause of his financial
ruin. Documents have been disinter
red showing that he officially informed
the municipality of Amsterdam that
he had suffered heavy losses in busi
ness transactions as well as through
damages and losses on the high seas.
It was at a time, 1G40-60, when all
Eurone was engaged in feverish mon
ey making in connection with Hol
land's meteoric commercial prosperity
Speculation took place on a reckless
scale. Immense fortunes were sunk
in shipping, banking and colonial en
terprises.
Rembrandt, whose highly artistic
nature was sadly devoid of even ele
mentary business sense, fell an easy
victim to the scheming speculators of
that era of frenzied finance, and lie
lost his entire fortune. Many of his
pictures were seized for debt by the
legal authorities before the canvases
were half finished. Bankruptcy final
ly overtook him and compelled him to
sell all his properties, his home and
priceless works of art under the ham
mer at sacrifice prices.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Origin of Iron Duke.
The Iron Duke, of course, was Wel
lington, but he came by the nickname
in a roundabout way. He was never
so called until long after Waterloo. An
Iron steamship, a novelty at the time,
was built in the Mersey and named the
Duke of Wellington, and so the vessel
came to be known as the Iron Duke,
the transition being easy and obvious
It was the duke's union of resolution
und physical energy which made the
popular name for the Mersey built
steamship to tit him like a perfect cap.
Such, at least, is the explanation of his
biographer. Sir Herbert Maxwell.—
London Chronicle.
Power of Desire.
It has been said of Abraham Lincoln
that as a boy he read less than a half
dozen books and that they were such
books as "Pilgrim’s Progress.” Weems’
“Life of Washington” and a popular
history of the United States written in
almost primary language. Yet Lin
coln was able to express himself more
clearly than almost any public or liter
ary man of his time. Such is the pow
er of desire.
