If so, then you will mentally shake hands with me and say "Hravoly borne, sir," or "Hear np, man; it mlcht be worse." And so It nilRht. My visitations from nbtond might have come from Asia In the foim of cholera, Instead of from the Ulauls Forest In the present shape of Karl Bronner. Karl was esteemed a great man, a man to be conciliated, Mattered, list ened to and piovlded with free thlnkn by the humbler folk of his native Tn torbei'K, In the IJlaek Forest nforesald. Touting Kngllshmau und stray Americans who had got Into the wrong train and been compelled to spend a night there considered Untcrberff a mere Blark Forest village and Karl a mere local inn-keeper. Hut they did not deny that the village was charm ingly situated, and they were bound to admit that Karl knew all the best points of view, and could tie a trout fly with any one in the Forest. And he gave us excellent vegetable soup, llsn, cutlets, omelettes and other forest fare, cooked and served lire proachably In the Forest style. livery one was well pleased with the cater ing at tlio "A dler," with the exception of Karl, who had ambitions, an the de velopment of this tale will show. He would say to me, on the average twice a day: "Ach! but I have here the greatest hotel In Unterberg. and I shall be bur gomaster certainly when Stanislaus Bauer shall die, and he is already very old. Yes, he Is old, too, very old, and does not that for Unterberg which should be done by the burgomaster. "When I shall be burgomaster, and Stanislaus Is an old man already again that I will do that which shall make you English come to Unterberg and stop In our hotels my hotel, aDove nil. Ach! yes, for the English are very rich. Every one knows that the En glish are so rich; and they will spend much money with us; nnd we shall become rich also myself the richest, because I shall be burgomaster, and my hotel Is the greatest." He always Insisted upon speaking English, so that he might practice the language in readiness for the day when England should rise to a man and de scend upon Unterberg to the profit of lta Inhabitants. And he spoke the tongue well, too, and loved to quote from the "Merry AVlvos of Windsor," whether the quotations were apropos or not. Sometimes, indeed, ho became a little confined over the word "wives," and would speak of the "Marry Women of Windsor," but he meant well, which was the main thing. For three days I walked and fished in the neighborhood, and then went on elsewhere. But please note hero that I duly paid my rechnung, and was therefore under no obligation to Karl. In view of what followed it is well to understand this. I had long ago forgotten Knrl, sav as an occasional reminiscence when anything recalled the Black Forest and I'nterberg to my mind. But Karl had not forgotten me, nor had he lost tho visitors' book In which I had foolish ly entered my name nnd address. And suddenly he reminded mo of his ex istence, and of "the deep friendship nnd respect which he held for me since two years." The reminder came in the guise of a letter, bearing the Hamburg postmark. The letter ran: "Dear Mr. : I have the honor to Inform you that I come from my town of Unterberg (Sohwnrtzland) to London to learn correctly the habits and tastes of the English peoples. I will that I know what pliall be the food they will prefer and the manner of Its cooking and service, also In which fashion tho waiters should be dressed. It Is my in tention to make all things at my 'Hotel Adler' (which is the best in I'nterberg I send In this some cards of it which you will please gUo your friends) as the English will like, by which doing I have the expectation to bo visited by many Englishmen. Will you, there fore, good Mr. , liavo tho courtesy to help mo in entering a good hotel in London to learn what I would desire? I will expect lo como at London tho 14 October. ITocharhtungsvoll, "Karl Bonner." AVhy did I read that letter? Why did I not maik it "gone away no ad dress," and give it back to the post master with a wink and half a crown? I think there ought to be a. law to com pel every one to put their name and address on the outside of their letters. Then I should have known, or guessed pretty nearly, what was Inside that Hamburg-posted envelope. Experience teaches that every for eigner who passes the time of day with you, or gives you a light for your ci gar, In his own country, considers th.it if he over finds himself in England, he is entitled to monopolize your whole time during his stay.

Perhaps It is not always so. Perhaps I speak slander ously, but hear my tnle out; then Judge.

What could I say? I gave him my room and slept on the sofa In my study. My landlady told me afterward that he had burned several holes In the sheets by smoking In bed, and I found that he used to strike his matches1 on the new wall paper, and throw them, with his cigar ashes on the car pet. But he was so grateful and affable with It all that I could not raise any objection. I said "Kismet!" and sub mitted. Then besan the search for the ap pointment In "some good hotel In Lon don," by means of which he proposed to acquire that knowledge of English hotel keeping that he desired. He was a wonderful man. He could make me pay cab fares, and yet leave me to feel that he was doing me a favor by allowing such a thing. He could drag me from hotel to hotel In that weary quest until I wished that I could fall ill and be conllned to my bed; and when ench day ended In failure it was my fault that It was so. He wore my ties and linen, smoked my cigars, lived at my expense, nnd nearly killed me with worry of It all; but thanked me every evening with such delicate tact that at the time I almost reproached myself wjth not having done enough for him. He be gan ambitiously. I knew nothing of hotel keeping how phould I? and had no idea ns to the best way to go to work, so we simply decided to go from hotel to hotel and see what we could do. He took me first to the (you will understand why I will mention no names), and demanded to see the proprietor. The hall porter smiled. "Proprietor," he said, "this hotel Is owned by a company." "Then I will see the company." "Oh, you will? Then you will have to go to a good many different towns to see them nil." I meekly suggested that we might see the manager. After some tele phoning, cross-questioning nnd much voluble reiteration by Karl, we wro ushered along passages, up stairs, and finally into a stately office, where sat a man of nwc-Insplrlng dignity. He looked sternly at us and paid tersely: "Well, what is your business?" "If you please, sir," said Karl, "I will be manager here to learn "What the devil are you talking about? I am manager here." "Then I will be your assistant. I am Karl Bronner, nnd I am the proprietor of tho Hotel Adler, which Is the great est hotel In Unterberg. I shall.be bur gomaster of Unterberg when Stanislaus Bauer dies, and he Is already very old, and " "Can you explain the meaning of all this pack of nonsense?" asked the manager, turning sharply to me. I explained Karl's wishes. For an swer the manager pressed a button on his desk: a page appeared, and he oi told to "Show these gentlemen tho way out! and don't you bring any om else to mo until you have found out exactly what they want: understand that!" And that wretched little Jack-sprat of a page grinned and sniggered all tho way to the door, and winked "expres sively lo every waiter and porter that ho passed. 1 wanted to go home 03 booh as we got outside, but Karl, un abashed, wanted to know why I did not punch "that man's head" for his Insolence, and seemed to have a poor idea of my pluck. Ho said that he would go back and challenge tho man ager to a duel, and would hardly lu lleve that that form of recreation was not popular In England. However, at last I dragged him away from tho curb in front of tho great pqrtlco, where he was standing and shaking his fist com prehensively at tho whole building.

I snlct to tho manager: "This gentleman (Indicating Karl) "Is tho proptletor of a hotel In tho Ulack Forest" "At Unterberg," Interjected Knrl. "And ho Is over here with the Idea of taking some post In an English hotel, so that when he returns to Unterberg "Where I shall bo burgomaster when Stanislaus Bauer dies, and ho Is al ready very old," Knrl added. "So that ho can model his hotel on English lines, and secure the patron age of Brltls tourists." "Because, yes, the Kngll&h ore very rich, nnd I will that they come to my hotel." "So ho has tolled to see whether you hnve any post that he could take for u time." "What premium will be pay?" "Premium?" paid Karl, "what Is pre mium?" I explained. "Oh. well," ho leplled, "if I must pay a premium I will do so." "That's right. Tho manager asks now mucn win you pay?" "Oh, 4, Sib what Is necessary." The manager exploded with laugh ter. "What!" he almost screamed. "Five pounds? Keep you for months, teach you tho business, and then, Just as you know enough to be of little use, off you go! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!" "Well, If that Is not enough, say 7," said Kail. "Seven?" Another terrlfflc burst of laughter and then the mnniiger groan ed. "Oh I say take this humorist awny before I get npoplexy Sev " and mirth overpowered him again. He was tlll chuckling convulsively as wo were conducted to the outer world once more. Thnt was enough for me for one day. I went back home with Karl, and be fore retiring to my virtuous sofa at night I offered up a petition that he hlght speedily get his appointment. Next morning Karl lit one of my befit cigars, put a few In his pocket and said: "N'ow, my friend, we shall go out again nnd today we shall have good luck." With the same kismet feeling upon me I accepted the Inevitable, and we went out to try again. Wo first went to a hotel les pretentious than those of yesterdny, and which Vas owned by one man. "I will see the proprietor," Karl In formed the clerk. "I'm not so sure that you will," snap ped the clerk. "He's out." "Then I wait for him." Indeed! Then you had better take a room here, ns he may not be back today." At that moment the proprietor en tered the olllce. With a blush the clerk said: "These gentlemen say they want to see you, sir." "Yes. here Is my card." Interrupted my friend. "I am the proprietor of the greatest hotel In Unterberg here is a card of it and I shall bo tmi-anmnn. ter of Unterberg when Stanislaus Bauer dies, and he Is already very old." I stopped his eloquence at this the., this point by taking up the subject of our call and explaining what we want ed. I may mention here thnt Karl could never understand why the an nouncement of his future elevation to the dignity of burgomaster did not pro foundly Impress the hotel proprietors nnd mnnagers to whom he invariably made It. He would say, "I shall be burgomaster," etc., with an air of lord ly condescension, nnd evidently with a profound belief that a man with nuch an exalted position before him had on ly to express a wish and It was to be gratified. I explained as hrleflv nnd rionri,. I could the nature of our mission. I said that Karl would accept any post where ho could learn what he wanted to. "Yes," he added, "I will come here as manager." "But I have a manager already," expostulated the proprietor. "Ach, that is nothing! You pay him much money for certainly, and I will come for very little. I will come for nothing, sir. Yes, I will como for nothing. That Is arranged. I como tomorrow and I stay with you two. three months. That Is all rlcht. You must tell your manager that he does not come after today. I come in his place." It was no good trying to check him. He waved me nslde airily when I at tempted to Interfere, and was plainly so satisfied with himself nnd the way ho had arranged things that ho did not consider my interference at all neces sary. But the proprietor was not overcome with tho generosity of the offer, and his nnswer. if not exactly polite, was at any rate unmistakable. At the next hotel we were taken for lunatics, nnd the proprietor executed a strategic movement which placed him In a fortified position behind u lig desk, and armed himself with a heavy ruler, prepared to sell his llfo dearly. Another landlord a big. red-faced, passionate man, prono to give way to reprehenslblo violence, and wearing very thick boots kicked us severally and Individually down his front steps. After that I went out on strike. In deppalr I inttoduced Karl to a man I knew who had kept a city restaurant. He was a nlco man, and I valued his friendship; and I feel that I did a foolish thing when I alienated his es teem by thus weakly introducing Karl to him. I did not mean any harm. I merely thought that perhaps ho could give Karl some Information and ndvlco that would assist him. I never dreamt that Karl would go to my friend's res taurant, buttonhole him for hours when he was especially busy, and drink and smoke at my friend's expense. If there was one man In London ns anx ious as I to see Karl comfortably set tled, it was my friend. His custom ers were making complaints, I believe, of want of attention, owing to Karl's tact and generalship In monopolizing tho poor man's time. At lust my res taurant friend Invented a qunrrel with Karl, ordered him from the premises, and refused to accept any apology. It was tho onlv way ho could get rid of him. Then Karl began to get dis couraged. He became more despondent every day, and mnde no secret of the fact that he held mo responsible for all his tribulations. Dally he went out In search of a master, and nightly he camo back more sad, more reproach ful. In time he began to drop hints about being in want of money. "Why don't you go home again?" I asked him one dav. "Ach, not I will kill mvself flrfct! I have told everybody In Unterberg that I come to London to be in an hotel, and if I go not in an hotel everybody will find mo so ridicule. I cannot ever ap pear more In Unterberg without I have first been In an hotel." Ho censed to bo particular as to tha precise nature of the berth he would COMMON SENSE CURE PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES PERMANENTLY BY CURING THE CAUSE. Remarkable Itomedy Which Is Bringing Comfort to Thous ands of Sufforors. Probably half the people who see this artlclo suffer from piles. It Is ono of the commonest diseases nnd one of the most obstinate. People havo It for years and Just because It Is not Im mediately fatal they neglect It. Care lessness cnuses no end of suffering. Carelessness about so simple a thing as piles has often caused death. Hemoirhagcs occur from no apparent cause nnd loss of blood causes death. Hemorrhages occur during surgical treatment, often causing deuth. Piles are pimple in the beginning nnd easily cured. They can be cured even In the worst stages, without pain or loss of blood, quickly, surely and com pletely. There Is only one remedy that will do it Pyramid Pile Cure. It allays the Inflammation Immedi ately, heals the lnltated surface and with continued treatment reduces the swelling and puts the membrunes Into good, sound, healthy condition.

He would tell the managers that his filend, Mr. (youis truly), would pay a premium for him if they would take him In. He made this hfUpment on his own responsibility nnd without my authority, so that It was not with- out surprise that I received a letter from one hotelier agreeing to accept Mr. Knrl Bronner as a sort of minll on payment of 30, nnd enclosing a form of contract for me to sign. And, truly, I was near to slcnlng both the agree ment nnd a check for the amount named, for I felt that It would almost be worth the money to be freed from my "old man of the sea." But at last relief came. Karl burst Into my room, danced madly round nnd round, waved his hat In the air, and shrieked triumphantly. "1 have done It, I have done it!" And he fell upon my neck and wept for Joy. "What have you done?" I asked, full of a new hope thnt was too sweet to nourish, for fear of the disappointment that might follow "A situation'" ho cried. "Yes, a fine situation." And he seized me by both hands nnd shook them heartily. "All by myself I did It; all by my self. I went into an hotel near Char ing Cross and I aid" 'Will y.ju have me here ns waiter?' and tho manager he say: 'Can vou wait nt table?" and I say 'Yes: and ho say: 'I have sent two waiters away today. 1 will take you if you give me a good reference," and It Is done. Oh, I am so happy. I go tomorrow to the tailor, who Fhall cut away the sides of my liock coat so that It Is like a waiter's coat.

My friend, we will drink a bottle of wine tho best champagne, yes, for this happy day. You can staid out for one now. I will ring tho bell for tho servant." The next Monday he went to Install himself nt his hotel. Tho more fact that, instead of comfortably walking Into the post of mnnagcr to tho Met ropole, he had dropped Into the posi tion of waiter at a thlrd-rnte French hotel, was no drawback to his unbound ed satisfaction In himself. lt went of" Jauntily and radiant, nnd 1 saw no more of him for two months. Then ho appeared one morning In a light check bult nnd brown boots. "I am going homo today," he explain ed. "I have been two months In nn hotel, and now I go back. Ach! but thero will be a great fete In Unterberg when I arrive. Yes, and .the English will come to my hotel because I can speak their language; and also will come the people of Unterbery to drink their beer, because I have been In London nnd I cun tell tell them all things about London nnd tho English people. Certninly. I shall cell moro ueer than all the other Wlrthsehnften In Unterberg together. And perhaps Stanislaus Bauer will dlo soon. He Is already very old. Oh, yes, I am very content. Oood bye!

Joaquin Miller, ln Leslie's Monthly. It never crossed my mind before, but now ln this dead calm that has fol lowed a month of stormy stampedes and excltaments I have a mind to risk tho prude's displeasure and be n bit boyish even childish. I havo not plucked any roses for a long time; nor sat In the sunlight for months nnd months. I havo only seen a Flngls gleam of sunlight for a few minutes at the mouth of Eldorado on a high hill top opposite, and ran the very breath out of me to try and photograph it and keep it with me. But tho sun Is getting in his wedge of gold now u bit, Just a little bit further in between these blnck blocks of night, every day. To my boundless delight, tho sun at 12 m. today fell like u halo on the head of a great mountain peak across the Klondike, nnd, forglvo my folly, I started to try and reach it. Silly? Of course; that Is conceded. But, frankly, I would havo gone through (Ire, floods, anything that man might pass, at al most any price, to feel,' to touch, to make familiar with once more a little bit of real, solid sunlight. It was a half mllo hard run down the sled trail to the Klondike then not any trail at all, only the ley river, with its great uplands of blocks and dips and spurs and angles of broken Ice. The lion was asleep, so fast asleep) This stormy nnd swift little river that has shaken tho whole world for a year, as tho roar of tho Hon might startle the ArabB In tho desert, was utterly dead ns If this snow to your waist was lUi shroud and tho granlto walls of the canon Its coflln. Not a ripple of water In tho Ice, under tho Ice, or anywhere. These strange rivers froezo from tha bottom, not from tho top, llko other well-regulated rivers. They freeze first at the mouth, gorge and block up thero first, not at the source, as other rivers. This Is because tho whole un der world hero Is solid Ice nil sum mer nnd nil winter all the year. I climbed from Ice point to ice point. Tho winds had blown the highest bare. In Eotne places the snow was solid as a floor; In others soft and dusty, up to tho waist. But It was groat fun to wallow through this from point to point till tho further shore of this dead river in its shroud and coIln was reached, and then the climb! Tho Klondike Is wide, but not deep. I waded it In top boots, dry-footed, mnny times last summer. The snow-shoes had not been thought of this winter day. What could anybody think of but ,the new-born baby sunlight and the hope of standing once more with the sun on tho mountain top! The climb was haid and steep nnd hazar dous. I made my way up from ono clump of trees to another. The snow Is vot deep under the trees. I took off my fur coat, unbuttoned my skin vest, tightened my belt, and at last, breath less, wet all over, I stood stood where the sun had been. Away over yonder, down tho Yukon, on tho topmost peak of a far out-rrachlng spur of the llockv mountains, where the snow Is nlwavs, then, mv mot ,mi,in,, .nM. ,ni0,i HU plumes were folded, fading, and he was gone In a sudden swoop before the pursuing night.

In case of w cak stomach, disordered liver, impure blood, shattered nerves, bronchitis, limrcritig cough, or other affections which U-ad to consumption, Br, Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery will ordinarily bring about rapid cure, it the trouble be deep seated and chronic, you had better write to Dr. U. V. Pierce. himself, at HuflMo, N. V., telling him about your sickness. He will give you f at herly , carefullv-con- sidered advice, nrl ihn,i,n nn (t.n nt nil Tlio V practice has been '27 iQ bo widespread, v and has covered so many fornw of disease, that his free advice is lilcelv to do vou more good than that of a physician who charges high prices. Dr. Pierce is also the head of the famed Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., where hundreds of invalids aud afflicted persons from all over the country go for treatment by the corps of specialists who are in constant attendance. It is because of his vast practice that the doctor is so well fitted to successfully treat every form of disease. Do not feel that you nre imposing upon him when you ask for free advice, because he wishes all to know that his medicines only are to be paid for not his advice. "I have used three bottles of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery since ray correspond ence with ou aud find great improvement in my case," writes Mr A. V. Novotny, of New York, N Y., (Ilor iij), "I feci that I am in need of no more meilicat assistance.
