CONRAD'S LOVES.
A trrcat. (.tranninc. muscular fellow
was Conrad Midburger and he was ad
mitted to be tbe best dancer and
swordsman in the village. His com
plexion waa darker than that of moat
of his neighbors, for there was a tra
dition of Magyar blood in the family
and his face was by no means lacking
in intelligence, of a merry and iace-
ful sort.
The village itself had a look of hav
ing been tinished long ago: dui a
"reader of men" might have looked at
Conrad, if he saw him there and said :
"liut that fellow s only half done
yet. He doesn't half understand him
self. Fity there's nothing in this sleepy
ii. . i.:. r
If. however, the process nf waiung
up was to imply any sortof shaking,
there had been little enough of that in
the life which Conrad bad thus far led.
The greatesr events of the outside
world had been only as storms on the
ocean, sending hardly a ripple of their
uproar into the little land-locked cove
of the old doll village.
Uotllieb Midburger, Conrad a lath
er, with bis old crony . and partner,
Franz Hoferdahl, had made and mend
ed watches iu the same dingy and
time-worn shop where their fathers
had fired and hammered before them ;
and one lifo was as like another and
about as unvarying as the ticking of
the fatfaced time-pieces behind the
cobwebs in the shop-window.
Just now, however, as it tbe course
of Nature were being disturbed, va
rious ripples were beginuiug to come.
Rumors there were, for instance, that tbe
king, "God preserve him 1" was pre
paring to fight a war .with somebody
and that all yuung heroes like Conrad
Midburger would soon be needed lor
the army.
Stranger still and utterly unaccount
able, considering his time of life, old
Irani Hoferdahl had caught the emi
gration fever and made up his stead
fast mind to join the great uermao
tide that sets pepetually toward the
shores of America. Already he had
sold whatever he had to sell, except
his big pipe, bis flute and his daughter
Christiue, for these he intended taking
with him to the Western Eden.
"Perhaps," thought the villagers,
"it's not so strange for old Franz as
for some of us. llo's been lonely since
his wife died and then ho was a great
traveler in his younger days."
That was true enough, for Franz
Hoferdahl had been to Berlin and
America could not bo so very much
beyoud. " ,
The old man had sold his share in
the shop to h.s friend Gottlieb and
had made as good bargains as he could
for his house and movables; but none
of his anxiaus neighbors kuew exactly
how much of ready cash he look with
him when he and his weeping Chris
tine set out upon their long pilgrim
age. .
Christine wept, indeed, as if she
meant to ruin her pretty blue eyes en
tirely ; for the little old village had
been very dear to her and her mother's
grave was there. If there were other
reasons for her sorrow, Christine kept
them to herself; albeit she may have
woudered why one person, at least,
had not asked her a question or so con
cerning them.
As for Conrad Midburger, be had
said good-by, with all the rest, to his
father's old frieud and to the tearful
Christine; and he had rubbed bis
great black eyes, afterward, in a way
that looked as if tbe whole thing was
a good doal of a dream to him. . If it
was, there was no help lor it since
Christine and her lather were far
enough away before he woke up.
.Nevertheless, when Conrad missed,
day after day, the accustomed form of
old r ranz in tbo shop, as well as the
cheery voice of Christine Hoferdahl
calling her father home to dinner, the
expression of his face would change,
at times, and ono would almost have
said he was beginning to think. -
Hot quite so much as Ufutt, perhaps
at least, not yet ; but pretty soon
Conrad s eves took note ot a growing
difference in the ways and seeming of
old Gottlieb Midburger hiniselt. , Just
what it was would nave been heard to
sav: but. by decrees, lue oiu roan
came to neglect his pipe and then his
glass of beer and then his work, and,
finally, he took to hi bed and died,
and the neighbors said, almost with
one accord, that "Franz Hoferdahl
had broken his old friend's heart by
going away. ,.
"Broken his heart!" said Conrad to
himself. "But he did not break miuel
Apd I have a heart, too I can feel it
beat. And I loved old i ranz and
loved my father very much, and I feel
as if I could cry all day, if I were not
so very big a man.
The strongest evidence that Conrad
bad a heart, however, was yet to come,
A tbe days went by, after his father's
death, tbe shop and everytniug in
and about it became utterly distaste
ful to him. Unv after day he sat
down by the bench and tried to work,
but the very ticking of the watches
was insufferably oppressive, while
again and again he started up and
dropped his ill or his bammer in re
newed astonishment at the continued
absence of these two old men.
"If only Christine would come," he
said to himself, "and call old Franz
home to dinner !"
But she did not come and the silence
and loneliness grew more and more
irksome; and so when, by-and-by.
a good customer opportunely
made his appearance, Conrad Midbur
ger almost gladly closed with his ofler
to purchase the shop and the house.
He soid, too, everything else that his
father had left him, except tbe old
man's pipe and sword, and the medal
his father before him had won in the
old war with the French. Neither
did Conrad, any more than Franz Ho
ferdahl, tell any of his neighbors bow
great or how small was the golden
store he found himself possessed of;
but the Midburgers had been a care
ful, saving and close-mouthed race for
generations.
And when the sales were all com
pleted and the transfers duly made,
and Conrad stood in the moonfight.one
fine Spring evening, and gazed at tbe
home that was no longer bis, he said
to himself :
"I think I could almost break my
heart now, after all, for I did love that
house and loved the shop ; but I could
not stay there with the empty places.
There were too many voices there that
did not speak. That was it. But what
shall I do now?"
Conrad's question was answered for
him by the great French emperor and
by the king ; for Napoleon had de
termined, in his old age, that he must
fight the Germans, and so a great
many quiet people had to march away
from their homes 16 be shot at, with
out the wisest man in the village being
able to give them a good reason.
It was a sad thing for many, but
Conrad Midburger felt as if he was al
most glad to go. He was sure beloved
his "Vaterland" in every bone of his
body, and, if the king called for him,
he was ready. Still, as they marched
away from the sleepy old village, Con
rad said to himself:
"There are the old house and the
shop, and the church steeple, and tbe
trees, and the graves in the church
yard. I did not know my heart was
so big, for I'm sure I love about every
thing I can see."
He could not see any thing very
clearly just then, however, for his eyes
were 6trangely dim. No doubt the
sun was iu them and tbe gliut and
gliter of the bayonets; but, if anyone
had looked in the young man's face,
he might have said :
r.T : .1 i.r..i r. I
11 is a very luuugutiui im-o nuu
there are lines of strength beginning
to show in it."
And then there followed swift march-
ins. comfortless camping, all kinds of
severe and trying soiaier-wors, ana a
good doal ot very hard lighting. What
ever the newspapers and reports might
say about it, Conrad -Midburger and
his comrades learned that tbe french
men were bravo fellows and that the
glory of beating them was never very
cheaply won.
Being big and strong and brave, a
good swordsman and every day grow-
ne more and more intelligent, Con
rad himself won glory that is three
or four slight wounds, a medal, pro
motion Irom the rauks, the compli
ments of his commanding officer and
the envy of his comrades.
Being a man ot property, ot respec
table parentage, of fair education,
Conrad might havo looked forward to
almost anything attainable in tneuer
man army by a man of less than no
ble blood, if the war had not boen so
very brief aud if the crops to wbicb
he belonged bad not been among the
first to be ordered home. Before a
great while lie found himself almost
his own master again, although still
within the scope and control of army
regulations, for no German of Conrad s
age is ever beyoud them and be said
to himself: "Well, i loved tne army,
almost loved fighting. I know I
could love glory with all my heart. I
know 1 am ten times as much a. sol
dier as that little white-mustached ape
of a baron that commanded my corn-
pany. mat is it.
That is it. I think I could
lova a country where there were no
barons. Let me see. I think my
heart must have been growing a good
deal during this war. 1 here is more
room in it than 1 knew ot and yet u
is always full. 1 think there arc some
things in it That I never saw there in
the old times. I will go and take a
look at the little village first, and the
bouse and shop, and I will listen again
to see if I can bear Christine call her
father home to dinner. Then, if I
dou't ber hear, what then? Well
thiuk I will lust ask 'my heart about
it."
Now. all this time, old Franz Hofer
dnlil and his daughter bad known very
little of what had taken place iu the
village they left behind them. They
had found their pilgrimage long and
weary enough, and they had reached a
resting-place at last they had written
home to their old neighbors, as all
Germans do, but little information had
come back to them. They knew that
old Gottlieb Midburger was dead and
that Conrad had given up the home
and the shop, and that he had gone to
the great war with the French and
that was nearly all.
Franz Hoferdahl bad not landed on
the shores of the New World a paoper
in anything but youth and strength,
and he found friends readily enough
to take the place of the old ones as
far as might be, and, after he had got
over his first daze and bewilderment,
and become somewhat accustomed to
the racking changes in all his habits
and ways of life, he tred to settle
down as a man of property and sub
tan ce, and be happy.
"It only old Gottlieb Midburger
wre with me," he said to Christine,
"I think I could do it. I would bive
a good doal jujt to see the old fellow
lay downl)is pipe and look into a dir
ty watch.
Christine said very little, but her
bright American borne became dreary
enough at times, when she shut her
eyes and let her thoughts go back to
the old sleepy German village. She
read all tbe accounts of the great war,
too, wondering if any of her old neigh
bors had been in this battle or that,
and she listened very silently wjien
her father said :
"If Conrad Midburger was in .any
of that fighting, I'll be bound he be
haved himself well. There's good
blood in the Midburgers and Conrad
is a fine boy."
"He must be a man by this time,"
said (Jbristine. .
And then she thought what a very
tall, fine-looking man he must be and
how well be would appear in his uni
form. "
But whea, after a while, there was
news Of peace and they hears" that the
army was going borne to be disbanded,
old Franz Hoferdahl grew strangely
thoughtful and Christine tried all in
vain to arouse bim, or amuse him, un
til one Autumn morning, he said to
her: .
"All tbe other old soldiers are go
ing home, l tbiok it is pretty near
time for me to go too."
"To Germany, father!" exclaimed
Christine, with a sudden light in her
eyes. "O father!"
"No, Christine," solemnly repliad
the old man; "Germany is not the on
ly fatherland. I am a very old sol
dier and I think this is my last cam
paign.
Christine understood him then, but
all in a dreamy and unreal sort of
way, until, a few weeks later, she
found herself sitting alone in the
house, while the chilling wind that
whistled by the windows was freighted
with the first white harbingers of the
Winter. It seemed a cold, forlorn and
empty sort of a world to Christine
and, when she tried to think of the
village where she was born, that, loo,
seemed, empty and deserted and. she
imagined the old shop shut up and the
snow-flakes beating against tbe spider
webbed windows.
The door-bell rang, but Christine
did not hear it, nor did she know the
servant had admitted anybody, until
she was conscious of a heavy step,
almost beside her and a deep, clear
voice, full of manly strength, but that
trembled in a thrilling musical way
said to hei :
"Christine! Christine!" -
She looked up then in the face
scarred and war-bronzed face of a
tall, erect, noble-looking roan, who
wore a medal of honor on bis breast
and whose large, dark, penetrating
eyes were absolutely radiant as they
looked down into her own.
"Christine, be said again, "do you
understand roe I 1 have come.
"He had come !" she thought, for
one brier, burning moment, and it
seemed as if light and lifo, and happi
ness and strength, and tne old uer
man home itself, had come with him
She now had an odd, quick fancy that
the door of the old shop opened and
tbe sun beiran to shine, and she could
see the two old men at their work, but
she rose and threw her arms around
his neck, and only said, between her
sobs, "O Courad, I'm so happy! so
glad you have come!
It was a sober day and asooormeei
ing, after all, but, some Lours later, as
they sat by the grate in the parlor,
where the fire burned warm and cheer
ilr. while the first merry snow-flakes
of the opening winter flitted softly by
tbe windows and iney exenaneeu sw
ries of all that had happened to them
Conrad said to her:
"Ah. Christine, I did not know my
elf when vou went away, I did not
kuow 1 had a heart, but I soon began
to find it out. I found that it was a
irreat. big heart, too. with wonderful
thiuirs iu it. One love after another
seemed to wake up and speak to me.

"Oh, I don't know," said Christine.

A resident of New Haven bas given
p steamboat travel. Not long ago.
having occasion to visit New York, ha
started for the steamer's landing, with
a carpet sack in one hand and a cane
in the other, in what he supposed to
be ample time. But when be came
within sight or tbe wharf be observed
the boat apparently swinging away
from ber moorings, and amid the
shouts and jeers of the bystanders bo
broke into a frantic run lor the land-
ng. The boat was eight or ten feet
from the Vharf when hs reached the
place where he had hoped to find a
gang plank, bnt nothing daunted and
trusting to the momentum acquired
aunog tbe run, be leaped into tbe air
and gained the vessel's deck. Not
without accident however. The car
pel-bag struck one passenger so vio-
ectiy in tbe etomach that bo doubled
up like a jack-knite, and absorbed a
whole flask of brandy in getting
straightened out, while the cace struck
another man in the face with sufficient
forco to induce bim to get down on his
knees to look for his hat When he had
recovered it, the man who had occa
sioned all this commotion said to bim.
in a tone ot mingled apology and self-
congratulation : "Well, I made it!"
"Yes, you did," said the sore-beaded
passenger, ''but, you old fool, this boat
ain't goinj out, she's coming in 1"
A member of tbo Saginaw county

ho was from." "From Detriot" Tho
next question was: "For whatbouso
are you traveling?" "My own." "You
are! May I ask your Lame?" "You

Spilkins returning Lome from tho
lodge about 2 a. m., called his spouse s
attention to the fact that he had just
discovered another comet, visible just
over the eaves of his opposite neigh
bor's house. - Mrs. S. vouchsafed a con
temptuous glance in the direction in
dicated, and saw the glaring eyes and
moon-illuminated tail ot a prowling

with you, at once, sir." .
A young lady at Norristown put a
piece of wedding cake under ber pil
low, and went to bed with tbe happy
belief that she would dream of seeing
ber future husband. That evening,
however, she bad eaten two plates of
ice cream, about a pint of strawber
ries, several sweet cakes, and two largo
pickles, and she now Bays she would
rather remain single all her life than
marry the man she saw in her dream.
A man tried to smuggle a wagon
load of tobacco across the Belgian
frontier recently, by driving at full
speed, but the custom house soldier
brought down the bcrse with his riflo.
There were (GOO worth of tobacco in
the wagon, and the horse was in armor
and so armed with knives about the
bridle that one could not have stopped
him by hand without being cut to
pieces.
"Oh gracious, no I" exclaimed Mrs.
Marrofat to Mrs. Quoggs, raising her
hands and speaking in a verf excited
tone. "She was so ill when her bon
net came home that she couldn't get
up; but, dear sakes, Jane, that didu't
matter nothing, for she just put tho
hat on, and lay with her head out tho
front window the whole afternoon."
