Suddenly all his fear wrnt awny. all bis trepidation. Tlie spirit of reckless Bess which had vised him a little while 0 again empowered him. lie waa afraid of nothing.

"And I love her better than life, better than tiope, and between us there la the distance of a thousand worlds. Bo I oust sire up the dream and go away, u an honorable man should." Neither of them heard the chancel lor's approach. "And because I love berr' Iler fan dropped to the floor. "Tour highness," broke In the cold, en tones of Ilerbeck. "your father is making Inquiries about you." Carmkhael rose Instantly, white as the frill in bis shirt. Ilildcgarde. however, was a princess. She gained ber feet leisurely, with a half smile on her lips. "Count, Heir Cnrmichncl tells roe that be la soon to leave Drelberg." "Ah!" There was satisfaction In Uerbeck's ejaculation. Ilut there was a glint of admiration In his eyes as he recognized the challenge In Cnrml chael's. "We shall niss Hcrr Carnil thael." Her highness moved screnly toward the door. Carmlchael waited till she was gone from sight; then he stooped and picked up tho fan. The entrance to the vast d'lenl vine yards was inude through a small lodge where the ducal vintner lived and kept his books and moneys till such time as he should be required to place them before the proper' official. Upon the morning following Jbe ball at the pal ace the vintner was reclining against the outside wall of the gates, smoking his china pipe and generally at pence With the world. He discerned a soli tary figure approaching from the direc tion of Drelberg a youthful figure, buoyant of step and confident. Hcrr Hoffman was rather interested. The youth paused at tbo gate and Inspected the old man highly. "Herr Hoffman, I want work." "Ho? What can you dor The youth recounted bis abilities. "I have a letter to you also." "Let me see It." Hoffman snw it. but with starting ryes. There wns. then, something new nn:ler the sun. A picker of grapes rec ominerdid by n princess! "lu llelier Gott! You are Leopold Met rich?" "Y, hi'tT." "How did you cotne by this letter?" "Her serene highness U patron to Oretchen, the goosu girl, at whoso re quest tho recommendation wuh given me." This altered matters. The two en tered the office. "Can you write?" "A little, herr." "Then write your name on this piece of paper and that. Each night you will present j ours with the number of pounds, which will be credited to you. You must bring it back each morning. If you lose It you will bo paid nothing for your Inbor." Dietrich wrote bis name twice. Still nolTiiian was not wholly satin fled with his eyes. "Gottlieb," he said to ono of tho men, "take him to terrace 08. We'll see wbut sort of workman he is." Ho spoke to Dietrich again. "What Is Gretchen to you?" Tor Hoffman knew Oretchen. "She in my sweetheart, herr." And there was no mockery In tho youth's eyes as he said this. "Take him nlotig, C.ottlleb." Terrace lis was given over to small grapes. Thus ninny bunches hod to be picked to fill the bnsUet. But Dietrich went to work with a will. His fingers were deft, and his knife wns slinrp, and by midsun be had turned his sixth basket, which wns fair work, cousld wing. As Hoffman did not feed bis em ployees, Dietrich was obliged to beg from his coworkers. Very willingly they shared with him their coarse bread and onions. He ate tho bread and stuffed tho onions In his pocket. Once more the youth was nlono. Ho Set down his basket and laughed. Was there ever such a flue world? The ery danger of It was the splco which gave It fluvor. "I love her, I love her!" His fuce frrew bright again, and the wooing blood ran tingling In his veins. "Am I a thief, a scoundrelly thief, because 1 have that right common to all men to love one woman) Some day Dshall suffer for this; some day my heart shall ache. So bo It!" His fingers were growing sore and tlcky and there was a twlugo In bis back as ho shouldered bis eighth baa kct and scrambled down to tho man who weighed the pick. He was be ginning his ninth when bo saw Oretch en coming along the purple nlsle. "What a beautiful day!" said Gretch en. with a happy laugh. "Kiss me." "When you fill that basket." "Not beforer "Not even a llttlo one," mischief In her glance. Out came the knife, and the vintner plied hlmse t furiously. Gretchen bad a knife of ber own, and she Joined him. ' :Tlirar!

He ; I7ot Diuy me fove'y mouth, but the eyes and cheeks and hair. "I ask on!y for your love, Gretchen only that." And he pressed ber hands. All men are rogues more or lens. There are so niau.v currents and eddies entering into a man's life. It Is made up of a thousand variant interests. No; man's love is never like a wom an s. Hut remember this, uretcnen I loved you the best I knew bow, as a man loves but once, honorable as It wag possible, purely and dearly." He ripped a bunch of grapes from the vine, a thing no careful vintner should do, and held It toward ber. "Have you ever heard of the kissing cherries V he asked. She shook ber bead. He explained. "This bunch will do very well." He took one grape at the bottom In his teeth. Gingerly Gretchen did the OKXTCHIN BAI8ED II BR C11IN. same. Their Hps met in a smothered laughter. Then they tried it again. And this Watteau picture met the gazo of two persous on the terrace be low. The empurpling face of one threatened an explosion, but the smil ing face of the other restrained this vocul thunder. The old bend vintner kicked a stone savagely. Gretchen and her lover turned.

IN AND WOMEN WANTED HEW CANDIDATE FOR GOIIGBESS A Synopsis of His Platform Which is Up-to-the-Minute. King Hill, Neb., County of Cass, August 18, 1910. To whom It may concern: After prayerful consideration and conference with my wife, whose counsel I always seek when about to undertake a task which may cost me my life, I have decided to an nounce my candidacy for the peoples representative In con gress from the First congres sional district. I mean to represent no political party as a whole, but I endorse the sane issues of all of 'em. I deem it prudent to not be bound by any political organ ization, to carry out old whims of Lincoln, Jefferson, Jackson, or even George Washington. All these Illustrious men were mental giants in their day, but, like James J. Jeffries, they can't "come back." I heartily endorse the effort of those Republi cans who are and have been making it exceedingly warm for Uncle Jos eph Cannon, and shall Join them should I be so fortunate as to beat John Maguire In November. I am in favor of straightening the Missouri river from its fountain bead to its mouth, thus giving employment to a vast number of people who would otherwise drift into politics and have to be supported by the farmers and mechanics of the country. I heartily endorse the initiative and referen dum and am in favor of high tariff where it Is needed and where the people are able to pay It, and low tariff where it will do as well as high, and where the people are not able to pay a high one. I believe in a protective tariff if It protects those who need protection, and not those who are a disgrace to the na tion. 1 favor a speedy trial of graft ers, and the Immediate use of gal lows at the end of the trial, be that on any day of the week. No use in putting off until Friday a Job that needs doing on Monday. I am in fa vor of the majority ruling, and, while liquor has killed its thousands, and Its influence is demoralizing, if a greater part of the people of a com munity want it let the others move out and allow those who pine for it have all they can pay for, so that they may die sooner and make room for a better class of citizens. I fa vor government ownership of rail roads and will work to make the government responsible for all dam ages which are sustained by passen gers. I shall favor the stationing of guards at both ends of each coach so that passengers cannot get out on the platforms of moving trains. I shall work for the removal of all chaplains from the state senate, and house of representatives and the United States congress, and place the amount of money which is apportion ed for their services in a fund to be known as the general road fund, be lieving, with all my heart, that great er good can tnus be accomplished for both man and beast. I am unalter ably opposed to a white man marry ing a nigger without his consent. I believe in a sane 4th of July as well as every day of the year. I shall in troduce a bill, at my earliest oppor tunity, to prohibit the people from eating more than bIx hard boiled eggs on Easter Sunday, In commemoration of the resurrection of Christ from the dead, believing that the event can be more fittingly celebrated by a grad ual dropping off of pleasing the stom ach and educating our people to fill their minds instead of their guts. I am In favor of putting a man in the penitentiary for life who will mort gage his home to buy an automobile, or in the Insane asylum if he begins to talk about buying one on time. I am In favor of all church choirs turning their backs to the audience while rendering up to date, classical music. In order that we may, as a nation, make a big saving In our finances, I favor bringing the heathen from other climes and converting them by direct taxation, thus com pelling those who are able to do their duty to do it and help those who are not, to look after their own famil ies. I favor electing supreme Judges of all such courts by a direct vote of the people, and make their term of of flee four years, and If they be found guilty of crookedness, hang 'em by the neck until they begin to smell a little before cutting them down. I have many more ideas that I would enact Into law, but, suffice to say, jthls la enough to convince the most skeptical that I am the right man in the right place If I get there. I am somewhat late In announcing and may be defeated, but I can test my strength. My name will not be print ed on any ticket, but all of 'em will have a blank space where you may write my name. I want no voter to vote for me who can't write bl' own Lowney's andies Just received a fresh supply from the factory of this justly celebrated candy in bulk and in fancy pack ages. Fresh and wholesome. Come in and try them. This is a good time to do that painting and paper hanging. Many good bargains in up-to-date wall paper. Come and see them. ERIN PRESCRIPTION name, as I want to be elected by an Intelligent class of people. I have always been a standpatter Republi can in the past, but have decided to discard all bobbles and henceforth labor for the betterment of the whole people. JOHN JUMPER. P. S. I am ready to fill any Chau tauqua dates in the First congres sional district or I will meet any can didate in Joint discussion. I shall aim to win the race without being out one cent. If I can't get there on merit I shall remain at home. J. J. Do You Believe in Home Industry? To the business man, the working man, the property holders and all wbo are generally interested in the city of Plattsmouth: Do you believe in home industry, patronizing and purchasing goods and products that are grown and made in the county of Cass and the city of Plattsmouth?. Do you know that there is only one ice cream manufacturing establish ment in operation in the city of Plattsmouth today, and only three firms Gerlng & Co., Weyrich & Hadraba and John Schlappacasse that are 'handling hme-made ice cream in the city today? You all preach buy at home, and thereby en hance the value of the working man and your property by Increasing the volume of yearly business done in the city; also, thereby creating a bet ter and higher market for the farm er's products. Here is where I would like to say to all, why not practice what you preach and buy only home made goods? I am operating the only manufacturing ice cream estab lishment in the city, and the two firms above mentioned in addition to myself, are all that is handling home made ice cream. If you believe in home industry, govern yourselves ac cordingly. My goods are guaranteed first-class In every particular. JOHN SCHIAPPACASSE. Class Surprises Mrs. Klster. Mrs. Dr. W. B. Elster was quite agreeably surprised one evening this week when her Sunday school class of seven girls dropped in at her home. The class was chaperoned by Rev. and Mrs. L. W. Gade. The girls presented Mrs. Elster with a lovely souvenler spoon, Rev. Gade making the presentation speech. The party was in the nature of a farewell to Mrs. Elster who will soon depart to make her home at Omaha. WATCH THE FARM DEVELOPMENT IN WYOMING!
