I was. how ever, taken off my guard by the sud ifeiiiiessj.it' it and I cried out; "What is that V The six, damsels seein-d very milch II unwed at the start which 1 gave and at my sudden exclamation. "That." wrote Vsold- upon her pail, "is the trolley car. about which 1 told you. If you will follow us up into tlie sltrnal tower, we will now nhow It to .mil." Tln-y pointed nut the lower in ques tion. It was th- mir, finiti the window i f which cam- the wire lope which cx-t-lided across the river Into th- forest. The rope Itself was even now vibrating as if It had been forcibly shaken, I saw at once. the truth of the mutter. The car about which they spoke ran iiliniir upon this tope, and into the case ment of the signal tower. There was truly tint hint; to wonder about in this matter, for it was really a very simple lliiiitr. an ordinary mechanical eonii'lv ance. and that was all. I now conjec tured whether the invisible bridge miKlit not develop into some equally everyday nffair. There lust reflections came to me while I was following, us best 1 could, the six s.vlph-like forms of the countesses, who had started u 11011 11 wild chase or race Into the tower and bp the staircase, us though eneh one was tryinR to get to the top first. "When I at last arrived. very much wind ed, on the uppermost tloor. I found them all gathered around a large wicker work car or basket, about two and a half feet In depth and width, und four f-f t in length. It seemed to be filled with ull sorts of merchandise among which 1 noticed eatables of many kinds, in quantity enough to have stocked a small grocer's shop, books and station cry, female clothing and finery. It also contained a large bundle of newspapers and letters. This bundle the girls had already seized, and they were now oc cupied In dividing Its contents. I examined this crate or car, and found that it hung by two iron trolleys or pulleys upon the wire rope, which, as I mentioned before, came from somewhere In or beyond the forest, ex tended across the stream and through tl'.e casement into the tower. Inow found that the end o the rope was se curely tied to an iron stanchion let into the wall, and that the car, sliding In through the window till It reached this wall, had become fastened by a nauto-lnatic- latch or catch, which prevented it from running back again out of the window; whlchlt undoubtedly would have done without this contrivance. At this point I may as well state certain other facts about this piece of machin ery, which I learned afterward. This wire rone aerial railway extended from I'astle Selireckenstrohm to the count's villa, the mansion where he ordinarily resided. This mansion, called by the count, "Auscr d-m Walde," was three- fourths f.f a mile from Castle Schreck enstrohm, stood Just outside of the for est, nnd was situated about a mile from the walls ot oldendorf. Uy means of this air line, daily communication was established between the two places, and it was by this means that the inmates f the castle were supplied with the necessaries of life, and at the same time kept In touch with the outside world. At the Schreckenstrohm end it was only needful to unfasten the latch and the car would start of Its own weight and run across the torrent and through the forest, all the way to Atiser dem Walde. This I knew of my own experience, ns I afterward had occasion to try It. To propel the carriage In the opposite di rection, namely, from the villa to the i-astl", required considerable power, and this power was furnished by compress ed air, the car being shot out of a window- in the villa, like a shell from one of the pneumatic guns of the Vesuvius. The six damsels now seemed to be making a great fuss over some matter which they had found in one of the newspapers. They clustered around it and gesticulated wildly. Then ISrunhilda. the queen-like, seized it and ran up to me, and the rest followed her, and all six showed by their faces and manner that they had taken a new interest in me, nnd that I was something more to them than I had been up to that time. And the lovely Krunhiida thrust the newspaper under my eyes and pointed out with Iter snowy and richly-bejeweled hund the following paragraph: -Dusselbeig, July lit, 189 . Rallonn thief arrested. The government bal loon which got away from Prof. Schaff Imusen at Oldendorf on the evening of the lfith nnd which was supposed af terwards to have been stolen, was re covered yesterday from the miscreant who ran off with It. lie was arrested as he was climbing down from a tree upon which the balloon had caught and cave his -name as August von Dunkel lielui of Munich. From documents, lt lors, etc., found upon his person. It Is believed, however, that his name is not Von Dunkellieim, but that he is an When she saw that 1 hud rend ll. she placed a dainty forefinger upon the words "Von Iinnkelheim," then point ing the same tlmr-r at nie shook her heal several times, and all th- other dams's shook their heads likewise. Then. Indicating the words Julim Waterliury." she went through tip; same iantoiiiine this time nodding i" the most emphatic and decisive man ner: nnd all the rest of th- six sisters nodded like so many toy Chinese man darins. Thus it was that in their naive nnd touching way they at last ac knowledged tii-ir error. Thus it was which I had told them, showed me llmt they no longer identilled 111- with the detested Ananias, whose eomnauy had been forc ed up-m them by a brutal and cruel sire. For soin- time on. between m- and these six ingenuous and amiable civil-tur-s there was a peifect understand ing: the barriers of conventionality were swvpt away; the air of reserve, nt hp 111 our. which lhey had. mainiain-d lor the uupposcd Von Dunkellieim. 1111 ltd like Ai'iil snow, and .1 became as much their companions as though I na.t i:een with them lor so many weeks Instead of hours. The difference was nmst apparent in the charming Hrtin hilda. She was ever closest ui my side, and I llattered 110 self that the tender glnmes which I gave her were re turned' with interest. I now watched tor nn occasion fltiinvr ! for thu momentous declaration which I wished to make to her, but there was n time during the day when there wore not several of the fair prospective sis- , ters-in-law pr-sent. 1 might have ; spoken before them all, but I knew thai , this was not the accepted and nrdlnnry way of doing it. Therefore. 1 waited until the evening, and when we were gathered as on the preceding night, in . the drawing-room, with the sphinx-like Dame tleiskopf watching us while ' Wanda and Ysolde were playing Voti : Welter's invitation to the waltz. 1 i reached over und took llrunhilda's pad from her and wrote upon it the follow- lug words: "In the few hours since I ilrst beheld 1 you, I have learned to love you us never 1 niorlul maid wus loved before. Willi- ; out you. life would not be worth the : living. Write your answer lure. Will yon be mine'.'" Then 1 gave it to her and w atched ln-r - as she read It. As she became aivaie nf my iii-:inlng, her long daik lasiu-s sank and h-r rosy tint deepened. She I okod up at in-, and I Imagined a iiieltiii:;' glance In her magnificent eyes; but sli mmed her head partly away, and sad ness seemed to steal over her features, like the shadow of a cloud upon the meadow, und she wrote sum-thing tin -d-rneatli my own message, and showed ll to me, und I lead these lines: "It cannot be, for we six have vow ed an eternal sisterly love. We have bound ourselveii by un inviolable until iievi r tn scpnrale while lite endure. Were this not so. It taiyliL have been, but now it cannot be." Nothing daunted. I wmte as follows: "You need not have to separate. Ymir live lovely sisters shall lle Willi us al ways." She gave one glance at the words, looked into my eyes with un expression in which there was a world nf Joy mnl trust and urate) illness und love, uinl immediately wrote: "It is enough. I am yours forever." r.el'ore I knew w hat she was going tn do, she Hindi gestures and summoned the hi her live maidens to her side, and showed them the writing upon the pud, so that all of tin. in. al once, became conversant with the details of my courtship. This wus embarrass lug enough, but whut followed wus in finitely more trying: for they all with one nccord, flung their arms around her and kissed her and shed copious tears, and wrung their shapely hands, and otherwise gave evidence of th" most tinconsolable grief. The tears came into my own eyes as I looked at them, but my symputhy was wasted, as I afterwards found that they were one and all delighted with the occur rence, nnd thut this wus their way of showing it. The precise old duenna now came forward from the other end of the room, and not knowing, of course, what had taken place, glared at me, as she would have done, had I attempted to assassinate one of the Graf's daugh ters. Then Urunhllda's live sisters came up to me one after the other and its envelope, read uloiid lo my pretty listeners as follows: "Ilerr Julius Waterbury: Letter re ceived. Full consent Riven. Will ar rive at eleven o'clock, l'.ring Heir Jenkins and wife with me. Wedding in castle chanel at two o'clock. Schreck enstrohm." Jly cup of happiness rhould now have lieen full but. for some reason or other, I was not Js well pleased wi'h the tlraf's answer s 1 should have been. In the lirst place It was too laconic, not to say brusque, and 1 did not like the idea of his bringing Mr. nnd Jirs. Jen-kin.-. Tlie presence o" Krau Jenkins would dispel the chief charm of th.it silent place, and the thought of it janed upon my feelings. Then again why should the ceremony take place al two o'clock upon that very day'.' A week, or even a month lienee. would lie soon enough. There was something in this rush. Indecent haste which startled 1:1c, and nidde me uneasy. As. however, llrunhilda and her sisters seeini d delighted with the arrange ments, 1 could not let them see the elici t which they had upon me. and I therefore made as though nothing would have suited m- bott -r. My sweet and amiable betrothed imtv clasped my hand and we d.conded to the grounds und wandered here and l here through the shady T'atlis of the lb'V i r-pi-rfmned grove, followed by my future sisters. And then ih-y made us sit upon a mossy nnnk, and they lin -.tlu 1:1 oils ;:nd plaited th-.-nt into 1 -Sli-Wi! I V. - W .

I was afraid that Jenkins and his wile might arrive in tlie midst of It. and 1 felt quite foolish nt being thus ornamented, but liny took such Innocent pleasure In tlie amusement thut 1 wus constrained to humor them.

After the church organist had played a voluntary Introducing nirs from "lt:iJ" ,-nd ihe "Hlack Crook" which , cif course were not recognized by tl'.e coiigregutloii -th - choir arose for its 1 lirst anthem of the morning. 1 The choir was made up nf two parts. ! n Hini'lett- and a chorus.

I We spent the next clay In evolving ! plans nnd projects for my speedy union j with Drunhilda. I must sny here that I though my heart had chosen her ns its absolute mistress from nmong the six j damsels, yet were the rest of them not j by any means displeasing to me. In fact, 1 had a tender liking for each end j every one of them, and the prospect of ' having them all ever near me wns nut ! the least pleasing part of the who. I affair. They were like so many beau- j tiful pictures or statues and ns such would rraee and embellish my house hold. The Idea of this household, w ith its silence nnd Its solitude, where 1 would be alone nnd yet not alone, tilled me with the most pleasurable anticipa tions. My first ter was to write a lontr letter to the Graf von Schreckenstrohm in which I stated fully my intentions in recard to llrunhilda and her sisters, asking his consent to the arrangement, and referrinz him, uoon the question of my financial ond social standing, to the Hon. John Jenkins, I'nlted State consul at oldendorf. In this letter I also advised him of the running away of Von Duiikelheim, and of the munner of my arrival, at the castle. I read this communication to my six fair coconspirators. They were de lighted with it. and Insisted on takinf? and mailing it at once. It was about noon when, with much merriment, they ascended to the signal tower, and sent' tlie letter off to the old llraf. lit Auscr dem Walde.

A fcleatoi' 1 111 It of bis contortions were lost because the audit nee did not fuce the choir. The organist struck a few 1 honis and without any preliminary wood sawinii the choir squared itsell for action. Of i i onise, there w-tv a (HI W ho did imt 1 find the place till after rising this Is so j hi all choirs but finally all appeared 1 lo be ready. The leader let out another link in his neck, mnl while his head was taking it motion similar to a hen's when wulking, the choir broke loose. This is what it sang: "Aliide-e-e bide ab abide with abide with abide u-a-n-a-bldo me Willi me-e-c ubide with with me fast i'-a-s-t lubs- abid- fast the even fast fa-a-alls tin abide with me eventide falls the-e-e eventide fast the the dark the darkness abide tin ilarkti-ss deepens Lor-r-a with me-e-e Lord with me deepens Lord Lord darkness deepens wi-i-th me Lord with me me a-a-a-a-ablde." Every one is familiar with the hymn, hence it Is not necessary to line the Verses. During tlie performance some who had not attended the choir rehearsal the Thursday evening previous. were a little slow in spots. Inning the pus- snge 01 these spots some would move their lips and not utter a sound, while others particularly the ladies found It convenient to feel of their back nail er straighten their hats. Each one who did this had a look as If she could hon estly say; "I could sing thut if I saw lit and the choir sang on. Hut when tli-re came a note, a mens tire, or a bar with wliich all were famil iar, what a grand volume of music burst forth. It didn't happen this way many times, because the paid singers were supposed to do the greater part of the woil;. And the others wel- willing. At one point, after a breathing spell, or a rest, us musicians say. the tenor started alone. He didn't mean to. Hut by this break the deacons discovered that he was in the panic and earning his sal ary. The others caught him nt the lirst quarter, however, and awny they went again, neck and neck.

The nuiiics of men killed by neglect of their herdt'.i ; combined with overwork. They should serve as a warniiijr to others who arc fast fol lowing in their footsteps. No man can stand the strain of modem business com petition who wilfully neglects his health. It is not good policy to overwork, but tl'.e man who looks after his health cun stand a (treat deal of it. The man who ueglccts hij health is soon unfitted for work. Whin a man's digestion is disordered and his bow els are irregular, his blood becomes impure and the body is badly nourished. The vic tim of these conditions suffers from brain fag, nervous prostration, and debility, and eventually falls a victim to consumption. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery corrects the digestion, invigorates the liver, improves the appetite and regulates the bowels. It is the best blood-put ificr, blood maker, flesh-builder, and nerve tonic. It makes a man well, strong, clear-headed and lit for business. It enables him to stand a reasonable amount of overwork. All good druggists sell it There's nothing "just as good." Chaa, Pulhaber, of ftrownlee. Cherry Co .
