THE MAN WHO WAS FOR PEACE.
- 0
KATHARINE MELICK.
. For The Courier.
The ehortening October days grow
crisper into froet now, as they did in the
last hours of peace for the smith, in his
stone house by the river. Now, as then,
the Storm child who will always, alas!
be a child, lies under the slow shifting
ebadowe, and is so quiet and tame that
she does not tear her food. But she
does not go into the black ruin of the
smithy to watch a red wire twisted in
the coals, as she did on that one morn
ing when the cooper passed by the door,
and went straight to the stone steps of
the house.
When he repassed the door little Frau
Gertrud, very pale, was with hina. and
the Storm child, watching from the
smithy, with a dull gleam of hate in
her vacant eyes, threw herself with
hoarse incoherent cries upon her moth
er. Even when the smith, coming at
Gerhld's " call, "Freda is Bick! ImuBt
go to her!"' lifted the child, her Bullen
clutch tore at the white apron which
Gertrud bad untied and left behind. She
would not look at the cloud of sparks
which the smith blew from hip bellows,
but, with herecarred face working in
sullen rage, watched the feet of her
mother and the Black Cooper efface his
own huge tracks in the deep froet, down
to the ford, and up the Blope to where
Kummelmann's black thatch was slowly
molting through the hoar covering.
What Frau Kestner Baw under the
black thatch where Freda lay, whtre
two thin-faced lads cowered like shad
ows by the bed, only staring when she
found them food, no one knew for
many days. No one save the smith.
He did not go to see, for he knew too
well, even before Frau Gertrud's level
tones had sunk into his soul the con
firmation of her clear eyes eyes that
had not winced before the tempest or
Newfoundland, nor at the black marks
upon the throat of the dead girl.
Neighbors came a few to look at
the face which had never answered
theirs unsmiling, before the year of
famine. They Baw the hands which
had fluttered greeting to them all, bent
now and knotted so that das Klein
could not come off to make another
wedding ring. It must be buried with
the finger that had slipped into it so
swiftly, four harvests ago. And they
were a most silent company, though
there was little sorrow in the looks that
followed Schwartz Kummelmann to the
grave where they buried Freda. The
sister Gretchen took her two tiny
nephews away to the old mill. The
cooper returned alone to his dark thatch.
Frau Kestner walked silently beside
the smith, and it was he who spoke at
last, answering her silence,
"Why should there be two of them
two graves? Where is the good? Is it
not better to leave her now alone?"
Then tears ran down Frau Gertrud's
face and she hurried to meet the child
ren who were coming softly from the
room where the Storm child at last
Blept Yet when, after a wild, wintry
night, the two waked in the stone house,
and went to find the white eow, choked
to deaih.on.her lariat rope by. the risen
waters, they felt it like a doom upon
their heads And the smith plunged
his thoughts deep under a long, long
day with the Nuremburg mug, and a
dead night of oblivion. Those who
give no truce to care, and seek no jhift
of heavy burdens, will cast the first
stone at Gustav Kestner, in the days
when he sought to find again his old
quiet.
It was a month before the cooper
came again into the smithy, a month
of unwonted sleeplessness to Smith
Kestner, and of restless fear to his
neighbors. At last the cooper put a
period to-his uncertainty.
Frau Gertrud would bave.brougbt no
drink, but the men, alike ill at ease,
tapped a fresh keg of the new bter. She
watched uneasily when Gustav grew
confident and the cooper argumentative.
It was the first of many watches.
Some restless demon pressed the cooper
to know alLtbe mind of the unspeaking
smith. Some uneasy stirring put' accu
sation upon the lips of the giant, in the
assurance with which the mug filled his
huge frame. On the very day when
Frau Gertrud, in sorrow, tore up the
young green hop vines by the rivet, the
cooper, in a dark rage, strode out of the
smithy, and Gustav, sobered, knew that
he had brotten his silence.
Temerity of Princess Louisa.
The brilliant Wilhelmina, Frederick
II. 's dearly. loved sister, whose young
portraits show her as yery like her
brother, has this characteristic scene
in her "Memoirs," says Stephen Crane
in November "New-Lippincott:" Their
eister, Princess Louisa, aged fifteen, had
just'bMn-betrolhed to a margrave', and
the King asked her they were at table
how she would regulate her house
keeping when she was married. Louisa,
a favorite, had got into the way of tell
ing her father home-truths, which he
took very well, as a rule, from her. Oq
this occasion she told him that she
would have a good table well served:
"better than yours," said Louisa; "and
if I have children, I will not maltreat
them like you, nor force them to eat
what they have an aversion to." "What
do you mean by that?" eaid the King.
"What ib there wanting at my table?"
"There is this wanting," she replied;
that one cannot have enough, and the
little there is consists of coarse pot
herbs that nobody can eat." The king,
who was not used to such candor, boiled
with rage. "All his anger,'' says the
Princess Wilhelmnia, "fell on my broth
er and me. lie first threw a plate at
my brother's head, who ducked out of
the way, and then let fly another at me."
After he had made the air blue witb
wrath, directed at Frederic, "we had
to pass him in going out," and "he
aimed a great blow at me with his
crutcb, which, if I had not jerked
away from it, would have ended me. He
chased me for a while in his wheel
chair, but the people drawing it gave me
time to escape into the Queen's
chamber."
