ered and clung close, to his protector.
But he hed no more titan recognized
the scone before they were out of

crowing. The dim, misty country-
side, the looming tree; .the ram dr,
the, chill that.crept into his ill -cover-
ed. bones -all these. which might have
seemed to others wretehed conditions
enough, filled the boy with hope and
gladness. For they meant freedom.
But presently, as they rode on, his
thoughts took a fresh talon. They be-
gan to busy themselves, and fearful-
ly, with the man before him, whose
oantinued silence and cold resolve set
a hundred wild ideas humming in his
brain. What manner of man was het
Who was he ? Why had he helped
him? ..Tehaai had heard of ogres and
giants that decoyed children into for-
ests and. devoured them. He had
tened 1.0 ballads of such adventures,
sung at fairs and it, the streets, a
hundred Ulnas; now they came so
otongly into' his -mind, -and so grew
noon him in this grira companionship,
that by and by, seeing a wood before
them through, which the road ran, he
shook with terror and gave himself up
for lost. Sur8 enough, when they oanae
to thn wood, and had ridden a little
way into it, the man, whose face he
hod never seen, stopped. "Get down,"
be said, sternly.
.Tehen obeyed, his teeth chattering,
his legs quaking under him. He ex -
pealed the man to produce , a large
jearving-knife, or call some of his fel-
t:Awe out of the forest to share his re-
past. Insteed, the stranger made a
queer pass with his hands over his
horse's neck, and bid the boy go to
an oM stump which stood 14y the way.
"There is a hole in the further side
of it," he said. "Look- in the hole."
jehan went trembling and found the
hole and looked.
"What do you see?" the rider ask-
ed.
"A -piece of money," said hehan.
"Bring it to me," the stranger an-
swered, graaele's
The ban took it -it was (oath a cop-
per sou -and did as he was bid. "Get
up I" said I.he horseman curtly. Jehan
obeyed, end they went on as before.
When they had ridden half way
through the- forest, howeveie the
stranger stopped again.
"Get down," he amid.
The boy 'obeyed, and was directed as
on the former occasion -but not until
the horsemen had made the same
siren& gesture with his hands -to go
to an old stump. This time he found
a silver Jerre. He gave it to his mas-
ter, and °Limbed again to his place,
le as:vette ; mu -ch.
A third time they stopped, on the
further verge of the forest:. The. same
words pessed, but this time the boy
found a gold crown in the hole.
After thee hie mind no longer ran
upon ogres and giants. Instead, an-
otber fancy, almost as dreadful, took
possession of hint. Be remarked that
everything the stranger wore- was
black; hes cloak, his hat, his gaunt-
lets. Even. hie long boots, which in

TYROLESE COURTING.
When a young Tyrolese goes me
courting in earnest he carries with
bine a bottle of wine, of which he pours
out a glass and presents it to the ob-
ject of his affection. If she accepts it,
the whole affair is settled. Very often
the girt has not yet made up her mind,
and then she will take refuge in ex-
cuses, so as not to drink the wine,
and yet not refuse it point blank, for
that is considered a gross insult., prov-
ing that she has been merely trifling
with the affections of her lover. She
will, for instance, maintain that the
wine looks sour," or that wine dis-
agrees with her. In fact, she makea
use of any sobterfuge that presents
it:sett at tile moment. Shy lovers, loth
to make sure ef their case beforehand,
find it a very happy inspiration. Not
a word need be spoken, and the girl
is spared the pnonful No" of civilize -
time.
