PY CL.nE M. OIKARDEAr. Ilertahlar called a childisli voice, as a little yellow head was thrust in at the dtair. Itertahht stopjxil her wheel. "The father says to put oil my liest jacket and cap. I am giiii; to ;s the prince." The last word were in the very larg est capitals. Ilertalda. could not be lieve her ears. She sat and stan-d at the funny little figure in its bag'y homespun breeches and roundabout. "Die prinzen? Hiinmel ! Is the laiv crazv?" "No; Iain not," replied lleinrieh, caiK-ring a Unit. "I am in the deadest earnest. Haste, thee, helie IJertalda." They both spoke in lou German. The woman was of the sturdiest Ger man tyie, but the little boy, although fair of hair and white skin, had a deli cately oval face and eyes both large and dark. As he danced alaiut prettily, despite the liaggy breeches, he sung a Volkslied in a voice that bubbled up like a bird's. 1'crtalda put on his cap and jacket .with stolid astonish inert, and stood on the doorstep watching him its he ran up the road, with curls flying in the wind. The town was a ctillecti.ni of rough ly-built houses of German settlers, who tad come to this strange new republic of Texas under the leadership of Prince Sahns. The were hardy pioneers and the new land was fair and beautiful. What sight that greeted their eyes whenever they lifted them from their work, for on a lloiile eminence overeaovuii; inc silver Llano and dominating the land scape was the Sphienburg, the castle erected by their prince and named by him in honor of his lieautiful wife, Princess Sophie of Saxe-Gotha. Men-at-arms lounged alsmt its en trances, and high alaive, from its top most turret, flaunting its folds against the brilliant sky, waved the flag of the Fatherland. Ilayniond Bloch, Heinrich's father, was w aiting for him under the liveoak. and hand in hand the two went up the declivity to the castle. "llein !" exclaimed the prince s sec retary, as he met them, "but where is the Prince's Troubadour, Ilerr P.Ioch?" Heinrich took off his cap and laiwed gravely. "That is what they call ine, Kxcel- lency." The secretary shruggi-d Ins should ers. "Well, UiepniMV IS waning ir you in the hall, Where is your music?" "It ia all here, Ilerr Councillor," an swered Heinrich, putting a finger to his forehead. The prince, that jovial soldier of for tune, smiled as the procession of three entered the hall. Heinrich advanced solemnly, fell on one knee a:id pressed his rosj lips to the hand held kindly out to him. "Ity my sword, the boy is quite the courtier. Where did he learn inese manners of the noblesse, Her Illoch?" "His mother, yourllighness, was" "Ah, yes; I do recall his mother. There was no lietter blood in the Span ish provinces. The lad hath her dark .. - t Off eyes, nam ne ner voice aiso "That is for your Highness O deter mine," replied lSloch ; "the villagers say he has." "iA-t us hear it then," said the prince seating himself. Dloch fitted his violin to his chin and began a rippling accompaniment. Presently the boy's voice, a wonderful ly sweet soprano, took up the plaintive air. It was the story of the Lorelei. The prince's face flushed with pleasure. "Truly," he exclaimed at the close of the song, "he sings like an angel. The Saengerbund w ill have hard work to match that. Would that I could crown the victor with mine own hainL" "Your Highness will rjqt go to Fred ericksburg?" queried Hloch. "It is not possible," replied the prince, frowning, "the Kiowa are coming for a eonfirmation qf our treaty and I must perforce remain here. Hut, Heinrich. f iriret not thou art the T J Prince's Troubadour, and bring Iwck with thee the wreath of myrtle from the Test." The use of the familiar "thou" and the pressure of the baud upon his curly head made Heinrich s eyes glisten That night, as Hrtalda tucked him into his feather-bed, he flung his arms about her sturdy neck and whispered that the prince had called him "thou. Great preparations were made by the singing society to attend the Saenger- fest held at Fredericksburg. Prizes wereto be given for the best singing, both in solo and chorus, and the hopes of the Sophienbtirg-bund were fixed on Raymond Bloch's little son. A few days before the society was to set out ou the journey to the fest, the eniliassy of the Kiowaa, with their chief. GoiualLa, approached the settlement and pitched their tepees on the river bank. Riyniond Illoch, In company with several others, and with Heinrich clinging to his hand, went to look at them. At first, the boy was alarmed by the lowering red faces, overtopp-jd with feathers and hung about with chuinsand earrings, but catching sight of a girl a year or so older than himself, set ESTABLISHED 1827. he sidled towards her and presently they struck up an acquaintance. Heiurich had been taught Spanish by his father, who loved the softer ac cents of his wife's native tongue, and me Indian girl, to his delight, spike it als . She had, in fact, ou this account i , . . ... a-eu orougnt wim tne warriors as an interpreter. The two children sat down upon the grassy bank, and Heinrich confided to his companion the hones of victory at ine lest "You go then?" inquired the girl looking sideways at his eager little face in its fluff of yellow curls. "Oh, yes, my father, so many of the men and their wives and children and myscir are going. The prince, ala, goes not He stays to sign the treaty witn Uouialta." "Think you he will sign it?" "Why not?" replied Heinrich "He has taken much land that be longed to our forefathers," said the In nan gin, "and Ins big stone tepee stands on the topmost hill on our reser vation." "Truly, but he will pay for it Ger mans do not steal "lVrhajis," replied the girl, "he may consider the price overmuch. Gomalta is proud and h lug'.ity, and our war riors are brave ami strong." "The prince is proud and haughty also," retorted Heinrich, "and his men- at-arms are brave and strong. Why, they are the fighting men of the king." He stood up and took off his cap. "Much good may that do them," said the girl, "with their king over the great water." Heinrich was troubled by her words, but his father called, aud he said good bye and ran off. In theeveningheslipped down to the tcjiees by himself to inquire of Luala the meaning of her dark sayings, and found her lying on the river's edge moaning with pain. He helped her to her feet and into her tepee, brought water for her to drink, then, bidding her wait a few minutes, ran home to return with his own pillow and a bottle of Ucrtalda's cordial filched from the pantry shelf. W ith the pillow he eased her aching head, and a generous dose of the cor dial, whose merits lie had learned by exjH-rieiice, warmed her chilly bdy. He covered her up with her blanket, and held her hand while he sung soft ly until she fell aleep. In an hour or so the encampment was invaded by Raymond and Kertalda in anxious search for the missing boy. onialta led them to the tepceaiid held up a torch. The two heads were oiiiin..uillwK.: Jbnh were sound asleep. Heinrich brought li--T.u:ila.wtrJlwrrt'r, and when she had devoured the last lrumstick of chicken ami a bit of corn- ake he said : "I must say good-bye now, tor we shall start lor r reK-ricKs-burg in a little while." "Why do you go?" she murmured, taking his hands, us if to detain him. "I am the Prince's Troubadour and I must win the myrtle wreath for the Sophienburg." She only half understood him and looked wistfully after him as he went away humming the lrelci to himself. As the wagons were filing iu slow procession out of the town in the after noon they passed the Kiowa telHes. Luala came out and walked beside the liloch wagon. Heinrich scrambled out to join her. "IXies liertalda go, to?" inquired Luala. "Yes," said the boy, laughing, "but only to take care of me. . The gtaal I5vrta is no singer. She says herself she has a voice like a rain-crow's." "I am so glad you are all going," said Luala, gravely. "Glad we are going? Why?" "Hecause, thou stupid little boy," whisiieretl the girl, "Gomalta and his braves do not come to sign a treaty, but to recover their own, and although we are few now we shall soon be many." Hein rich's puzzled expression made her whisper again in his ear. "When all the wagons are gone well on their way. Gohnalta and his war riors will take the castle. When you lehold a flare of light from the hilltop urge the wagons onward, for doubtless you will hi? pursued. I cannot tell you more. You must save yourselves. You must not stop on the way. Those that stay behind will surely die. I cannot help you. I cannot help you. Hasten, for Gomalta is going now to the castle." Heiurich stood staring at the girl, who glided away into the thick bushes that lined the roadside. His heart was beating to suffocation. Go with tha wagons ami leave his prince and the village to parish? Never. Nor did he wish to alarm the people in the wagons. He must see the prince first. Then evervb.v.ly would b safe. Yes, it would be better to tell the prince than anyone else, not even excepting his father. He climbed into the wagon, wrote a little nute, tucked it Into ll-T- talda's hand as she nodded, and slipped out of the wagon again He concealed himself in the bushes as Luala had done, and hurried cau tiously back to the village, avoiding the neighborhood of the tepees, with their barking curs, and keeping along the outskirts of the silent town. The sun was alniist setting as he toil ed up the Sophienberg. The sentry allowed him to pass, and he made his way as fast as he could to the auJienej lull, where thj prince was in consultation with hs gentle-nK-n-in-waiting. Hiinrich slipped be hind the curtain of a window an l peer ed into the room. G m ilta and a doz en braves, splendid with paint and eagle plum js an J covered with orna ments of rough silver, stood near the centre of the hall. Luala was stand ing near them. She had twined wreath of pomegranate flowers in her long black hair and was wrappid in a brilliant scarlet capj trimmed with bear's teeth. Gomalta folded his arms and began to speak, Luala turning his speech into Spanish and the prince's answer into the Indian tongue. Every now and then G orualta's small eyes would flash, but otherwise he pre- Hi I a llll.llltl... 1.U1UU1R1UIC. . OV ., .I! ,;ft...l ...ivru.i... Thu prince's blonde fuee noon flushed a OCTOBER 80, 1895. flery red. His blue eyes sparkle with anger. "Gomalta demands the return of the hill wheron the castle stands," he said In German to his followers. I he men-at-arms laughed aloud. The Kiowa looked at them keenly. and their hands crept under their blankets. Heinrich caught at the leather jirkiu of one of the prince's men near him. "Carl !" he whispered, The mail Looked around in astonish ment "I must see the prince," Heinrich said, stumbling over his words iu his haste. "He must not let the Indians go. And they must not see me." Rut Carl was stupid with surprise and, to tell the truth, rather fuddled with beer. So he only stared an 1 wondered how the boy got in. "Go, go," implored Heinrich, as an angry confusion of voices reached him, "Go; tell the prince not to let Gomalta go away." But Carl only grinned and said some thing to the man next to him. This one was quickcr-witted, and guessed that something was wrong. He ven tured to approach the prince, but was waved away with an imjK-rious ges ture and a haughty look of displeasure. Gomalta with a sign gathered his braves aUiut him and was about to leave the hall when Heinrich latumlcd out upon the floor aud called in a loud voice to the prince : "Your Highness, do not let them go. They are traitors. Seize them !" Gomalta flung up his arm ; a toma hawk hurled through the air, fell just at I lei n rich's feet and quivered in the oaken floor. Instantly the meu-at- arnis rushed to the dars. There was a scene of wild fighting. Resounding blows wore heard ; roaring cries in German, in savage Kiowa. Rut the prince's men were three to one and presently the storm of strife di minished. A space was cleared in the centre of which stood Gomalta, secure ly pinioned. Here and there lay an Indian, his brain or body pierced by a hunting-knife, for the men-at-arms tared not use their fire-arms at such close quarters, and indeed they had not ime for priming, nor for a sight along the musket barrels. One or two trvap- ers, badly wounded, had fallen where the fight was fiercest around the doors. Heinrich had been seized by Luala and drawn behind the prince's chair. They ventured forth when the prince order ed his men to search for them. Out they crept, gazing fearfully around them. The prince held out a hand to Heinrich, who took it timidly and burst into tears when he saw the 1 Weep not, iieinnen, nut ex pun n the words that caused all this strife,." Heinrich breathlessly related all that happened ami shuddered at the ilark look that Gomalta ln-nt upon him and upon the little Indian nnid, who stood near with the Vermillion flowers in her hair. He speaks the truth," she said, gues sing at the meaning of his words when Heinrich had finished his story. "The trilie and our allies, the Wacos, even now await Gomalta' s signal the flare of light from the topmost height of Ihe castle." Troops were immediately dispatched to the different settlements to put them ou their guard against sudden attack, and word was sent of Gomalta's intend ed treachery. Fortunately Fredericksburg was not far distance, and the Sohiciiburg-So- ciety were safe in the town when the news came, itcriaiua naa given iia - mond the note that Heinrich had left in her hand, which run : My Dkak Fatiikk: The prince hat h need me of and I go to t he cast le at once. I urn not ihick lor me, inn iiu-i-en. Perhaiw the prince may take me to Fredericksburg with in time for the fest. Your little son Heinrich." Ravmcnd, supposing that the prince had sent for Heinrich, though puzzled over the secret manner of his going, concluded to push on. The weather was warm, and traveling by night In the cool moonlight was pleasanter than sweltering in the hot sun of early May. And so they reached Fredericksliurg before dawn. Gomalta was induced to sign anoth er and a more satisfactory treaty under a very wholesome fear of the German prince. He was held in bondage until the trilie had washed oft their war paint, and returned to their own hunt ing grounds. When he was allowed to go with his braves Luala begged to remain in the village. She was adopted by the prince ami rode beside Heinrich as they jour neyed to Fredericksburg. The feat had not yet opened, for the frightened settlers were iu arms await ing orders from the Sophienburg. As the cavalcade entered the settlement the chepFS. of the Saengerbund greeted them. The societies took up the line of march, singing Luther noble hymn. The pr ince lifted Heinrich from the ... , . . i . i . .. 4 .. satiuie, inipnnteu a aisa in irue vei- nian fashion upon hi cheek and placed him in his father's arms. A tear shone in Luala's dark eyes as Rertalda led her into the house. The king's settlement gave itself up i to the gayety of the Mai-fcst Never did the societies sing so well, and at last Heinrich took his place upon the vine-trimmed stage. Rertalda had made for him a troubadour's costume of dark green, and Luala had stuck an eagle's feather in his cap. As he began to sing to the accompaniment of his father's violin, a mocking-bird rose on light wing from an oleander tree and trilled in response. The enthusiastic singers shouted with delight The prince himsj-lf placed the myrile wreath upon the troubadour's head. Later on there was a meeting of the younger njen ami maidens. A May Queen must be chosen for- the Fest Luala presently found herself seated in state beneath the green boughs of a tree, while around her tripped a mer ry ring of dancers. The prince oliserv ed her quiet amazement. "She shall be presented to the king some day," he said tq himself. She was sent to Germany in the next 1 from Hamburg. Heinrich went with . .... .... - .

The next time they met, the Indian girl sat in a box of the Royal Opera House, iu Berlin, to hear the greatest singer in Germany. She was the wife of one of the gcutlemen of the king's court, and the singer was Heiurich Illoch. The Biggest Poker Game. From the Chicago Timea-Uerald. "I don't play poker myself," said Major General Mile. "In fact, I am glad to say that the game has rather gone out in the army, but I think I can claim to have been a witness of the biggest game as to stakes that was ever played." "Tell us about it.general," said Col. Ochiltree. "I have some pretty gfaal poker stories in stock myself," "And so have I," said Henry Wat- tcrsoii. "for instance, Joe Black burn's about the game played iu the trenches at the IkiUIc of Shiloh, with a table made on the Ixxlies of the com rades of the players." "Well," said John W. Mackay, "as to stakes, I will enter a claim for some of the games played in the good old days in Nevada, w hen the loys had the Comstock lode to draw upon. But, general, let us have your story." "It was in the spring of l.si.it when Iavis, I,ee and the rest of you Confed erates, Colonel Wattcrson, were in full retreat fronr Richmond toward Ihni- villc, ami we were pressing you night and day, hardly stopping to eat or leep.

The soldiers simply helped themselves to the bonds aud the money, and the oflicer did not care to deprive them of the spoils to which they were richly entitled.

O0(i Effect of Ths Drought In localities where the drought has interfered with the seeding of wheat this year there will be less clover seed ed down next spring, as the wheat fitld in this region are, a.4 a rule, Mail ed to clover early in the spring. The crimson clover crop will also be affect ed by the drought, as the fall seeding ha been siirlply a lows of seed with many. Farmers who will take giaal eare of their corn fodder and make it go as far as Kssible during this winter, and thus use less hay, will prolaibiy learn next season that they will make no mistake in carefully storing their fodder. If the wtsl is dry dig it deeper aud it will not lie dry until a drought aain occurs that Is longer in duration than this. The time to diir a well is when there is a dry season, as one must then go down deeja r to n-ach water. The last wells for providing pure water that is free from surface drainage are tlio- known as "drive wells," windmills or force pumps being used for raising the water. It is a sure way to have disea-e among the hogs when they mast rely ujam slop as drinking water. They re quire pure water the same as do other animals, anil when deprived of it will not thrive.
