Love on Ice.
By Oscar Reich.,

, VNE winter afternoon nftcr Dr.
Arnold Schemer had came
home from his desk In the
bureau of finance, onten hla dinner nnd
stretched hlineeK on the pofa to rnjoy
a cigar nnd a French" novel his young
brother Hiuih burst Into the room
And Hold:
"Alma Holueshcltn asked me to re
turn this book with Adrlcnnc's
thankn." r
"Why didn't you give It to me at
once"
"What was the hurry?"
"That Is my nffnlr. Now get out!"
Hans "got out" and banged the door.
Arnold opened the book at page ten
nnd copied on a piece of paper cer
tain letters which he found marked by
almost Imperceptible pencil dots. The
transcript read:
"I must see you tomorrow. Meet me
at Holler's at four."
The Schemers were; a family of of
ficials. The father was a bureau chief,
the oldest' son, Gustav, a provincial
governor In Dahnattu; Arnold was a
tho ministry of finance, and Hans was
preparing for n government position.
The only daughter had married an ofll
ciul. Arnold was very ambitious. Social
rank and consideration he hail; what
he wanted was money. It had never
been too abundant with the Schemers,
and he had resolved to marry It. As
his friend Rudolf used to say: "It Is
possible to love a girl, even If she is
rich."
He had the entree to the best fam
ilies in Vienna, but if he should go to
a rich man and demand his daughter's
hand it was doubtful whether his own
prospects of offlclul advancement
would counter-balance the lack of
present fortune. Clearly, then, the
thing to do, was to capture the heart
of a rich girl, preferably a very young
one, and so enlist the aid of love in
overcoming parental opposition.
His first budding sweetheart was
Carried off by a predestined cousin,
the second wus dazzled by a lieuten
ant's epaulets. Then, on the ice
everybody skates in Vienna he met
Alma Holdesheim, and on his visit
to her house he met her sixteen-year-old
sister Adrlenne and marked her
for his own. Pretty, modest, well-bred
and, most important of all, unsophis
ticated and not yet "out," she seemed
the very girl for him. In the Vienna
equivalent of Bradstreet, old Holde
ehlem was thus labeled:
"Owns a large spinning mill, an
estate in Bohemia and a town house in
Vienna. Estimated to be worth 600,000
gulden; income, 18,000."
This was satisfactory. There were
three children and Adrlenne's dowry
could bo reckoned at 150,000 gulden.
Arnold's wooing began on the ice.
Hitherto Adrlenne had skated only with
girl friends, and a few of their young
very young brothei s, who "didn't
count."
Dr. Schemer was the first real man
who had paid her any attention. He
handled her skilfully. As long as they
were alone he treated her In a fainillur,
comrade-like manner, but in the pres
ence of others he showed her the elab
orate politeness due to a grown-up
young lady, and both of theso things
pleased her.
And as he was handsome, witty nnd
well-bred, It was no wonder that "Utile
Adrlenne" fell In lnvc with him. During
the summer his memory was kept green
by the hundred and seventy-eight sou
venir post-cards which he sent her.
In the following winter she made her
debut and Arnold met her everywhere.
He mnde himself her shadow, so that
she once naively suld: "If I go any
where nnd you are not there I miss you
sol"
Adrlenne's mother, not being blind,
could not fall to notice Dr. Schemer's
attentions and their favorable reception
by Adrlenne.
"Pshaw! She Is only a child," old
Holdcusheliu replied to his wife's warn
ing. "What ir people do talk about It?
Schemer Is nn honorable young fellow,
and his father will bo In the ministry
some day."
The ensuing summer strengthened the
bond between the lovers. Arnold had
Induced his father to spend the vaca
tion In the vicinity er tho Holdeshelms.
Tho young man might have done so
alone, but he was unwilling to attract
the attention of Adrlenne's parents loo
strongly until hu had made sure of her
lovn.
This certainly came In the course or
tho summer, and the first vows of love
were exchanged. "Tho third day comes
n frost, a killing frost." nnd the third
winter Adrlenne caught cold nnd was
not allowed to skate or dance. The
lovers met rarely, and hence the de
vice of borrowed books and marked
letters.
But this was not the first frost. Early
in the season Adrlenne had discovered
that Dr. Schemer was not the only
young man who cared for her society,
and social success made her coquet
tish. She meant no harm. Arnold, she
thought, ought to recognize cheerfully
her right to hold a little court, like
other girls. But Arnold did nothing of
the sort, but made the mistake of yield
ing to jealousy.
Resolved to nip the growing evil In
the bud, he scolded her, and thereby
made matters worse.
Adrlenne wns offeneded that he could
think her a flirt and waited for him to
make overtures toward reconciliation.
But he absllnately maintained the role
of the offended party, and was verv
cold and distant.
"Firmnes Is necessary with a
woman," he said to himself. "When
she sees that she can play with you,
your influence over her Is gone for
ever." Meanwhile something that Athieiiue
would never have discovered had lie
come very evident to her mother
namely, that Arnold Schemer wu
simply In quest of a wcll-tinwered
bride. She knew that the Schemers
were comparatively poor, and was not
in favor of an alliance with them.
But she was too wise to warn Adrlenne
directly. Instead, she undertook her
financial education, initiating her into
all the details of the family lesourcos
and expenditures. Adrlenne learned to
jier astonishment that her own for
tune would amount to l.'O.OOO gulden.
Thin-seemed like nn Immense sum,
but it dwindled murvetouflly when she
learned that It represented an annual
Income of only 0,000 gulden, about a
third of what she would require In
order to live In the style to which she
had been accustomed.
Clearly, then, her husband must have
an Income of at lenst 12,000 gulden.
Then Mamma Holdesheim one day
cupped her argument by remarking
Innocently, that Dr. Schemer's salary
of 3,000 gulden wns a very high one
for so young u man. Here was a sad
discrepancy. "I shall have to econo
mic," thought Adrlenne.
"Arnold must marry a rich girl. I
wonder that he has not asked for your
hand' as you and he seetn to like each
other. With your money he could do
something for his family."
Adrlenne had expected opposition,
but she was not prepared for cold
mathematical demonstration.
Shortly before this Alfred Mortell,
the son of a rich brewer, had come
upon the scene. His reception had not
been encouraging, for tho little rltfc
within the lute had not yet appeared.
Now, Mortel was accustomed to re
ceiving an unplensant amount of at
tention nnd flattery from young ladles
und their mammas, and he said to
himself:
"Thank heaven! Here Is one girl
who does not care If I nm rich and un
married." This feeling Inspired the hope of win
ning Adrlenne by his personal merits,
and he began to court her assiduously.
She wus barely civil to him. but
Arnold's jealousy was aroused, us has
been said. After tho lovers' nuarrel
Adrlenne devoted more attention to
Mortell, partly to punish Arnold, partly
because she was not entirely free from
vanity and knew how many girls were
envying her the conquest of the young
millionaire.
Then came the suspicion that Arnold
was in love with her money, nnd then
came n'bull at MorteU's luxurious home.
Last of all came her father with the
news that Alfred Mortell hud asked Tor
her hand,
She begged for a week of deliberation,
though her mind was made up. She
wanted the week in order to be off with
the old love decently and In order. The
rupture, she was determined, should ho
made by Arnold; not by herself. She
wlshejd to appear well In the world's
eyes and his: for, after all, she loved
him in a way and was grateful to him
for the little romance he had given her.
Hence the rendezvous at Halter's.
There after the waitrefc." had brought
the perfunctory ices and retired, Adrl
enne said" .
"1 huve bad news for you. You muht
promise to listen calmly until the end.
Then you will understand, and perhaps
pity me."
Arnold obeyed, and she continued:
"At one time, you know, we were
wealthy. Tntil a little while ago I sup
posed thut we were still wealthy. I
knew, Indeed, that papa within the lur.t
year has had to pay large sums on my
litolher's account, but still 1 could not
understand why, when we were alone
together, he always seemed so anxious
and troubled. But the other day he told
me that mv brother had squandered
enormous sums, and, not daring to con
fess to papa, he had tried to cover his
losses by speculating in stocks, the re
sult of which was that he lost a great
deal more. In fact, as he had power to
sign for the firm, he has gambled away
not only all his own fortune, but most
of papa's and ours.
"Papa had succeeded In obtaining a
delay In the payment of the largest
debts, he said.
"When papa told me this I tried to
console hltn by saying that I, for one,
did not care so much about money.
Then he told mo tho whole truth. Tho
debts amount to more than we can pay.
Unless we receive assistance from some
source the firm will go Into bank
ruptcy." Adrlenne paused, but Arnold said not
a word. She ,had glanced at him once
or twice to discover the effect of her
communication, but she did not dure to
look at him squarely, for fear he .would
read the lie In her eyes.
"Such being the state of affairs," bIio
continued, "I resolved, after thinking
and worrying over It a good deal; to ask
you to give me up. I cannot consent to
chain your fate to mine, and, besides I
feel compelled to sacrifice my love for
you to my love for my father.
"The shame of bankruptcy would kill
him I must save him from It. You
know how."
"Beer?" said Arnold. Ho wns sur
prised, but never dreamed of question
ing the truth of her statement.
Adrlenne shrugged her shoulders.
"Beer, or banking, or railways. What
Is the', difference? I am In the market
for the highest bidder."
"But him! But cannot I, perhaps, as
sist your father? It is true that I have
nothing but my salary. Is tho sum I
mean the sum necessary at once so
very large?"
"A good tunny thousands." There was
a long pause. "1 cannot give you up,"
Arnold said at hint.
"But you must; 1 cannot let you rnic
riflce yourself."
''But T love you, Adrlenne!"
"'As t do you, Arnold! But wo must!"
Another long silence. Then Adrlenne
said:
"I must go now. I give you until Sun
day to decide. If you love mo truly you
will give me up nnrl not tempt me from
my duty. Do not make my heart heavier
than It is!"
"If 1 receive a picture postcard from
you on Sunday T shall know that vou
agree with me. Good-bye!"
She sprang up and was gone before
he could innke any effort to detain her.
Arnold sat looking at the untasted and
melted Ices.
"Two veuis wasted!" he muttered.
"And I believe I am really in love with
the little thing. Confound It! But :i
bankrupt father-in-law? Never! After
all. It might have been worse. Suppose
It hud come after our formal be
trothal?" Adapted from the German
for the New York Evening Post.

and proceed without the formality of an in

To prevent their entrance U far belter
than to rout them when once settled. Tew
"things are more aggravating than to find
Paul's dress suit, tho rugs in the back par

is a general impression, that tobacco, moth'
ball, pepper or camphor will suffice to keep
away moths, but sad experience proves that
it ia not to. Indeed, they often, seem to lute
a predilection for odors o! this sort, and to
vra fat in their environment. In protecting
woolens from moth, cleanliness Is one of the
first requisites. A soiled ganncnt invite
attack, and nothing should be put away until
cleaned as thoroughly as possible. Articles
that cannot bo washed should be uiciully
brushed and beaten. All the pockets of gar
ments should be turned inside out, luisghctl
and then turned back again, and every soft
spot cleansed. As soon as auy garcumt la
clean, fold separately, and very ainootlily,
and wrap in newspaper or clean pieces of
cotton or linen. When many things are tu
be put away at tho fame time, (.elect .1
bright sunthlnny day, get all your pauphei
nalia of wrapping papers, cord, mmllti and
articles to be packed together, and nuke a
business of it. Hso tin; r.hest, buiicl. cr

In putting away velvet ev dolls hats for
