Next to consumption there are more

There is only one way to prevent

The Black Eagle (tum Schwartzen
Adler) in the Adlergasse was 200 years
old and had been in the Bauer family_
all that time.

Frau Wirtin, as she was familiarly
'called, been masculine she would have
been lightly dubbed Bauer VIE She

with many and various sausages,'
cheeses and dried vegetables. Dishes
clattered, there- was a buzzing of.
voices, a scraping of feet and chairs,
a banging of tankards.
Gretchen came• In, a little better
dressed than 1n the daytime, the
change consisting of coarse stockings
and shoes of leather, of which she was
correspondingly proud.
"Will you want me, Fran Wirtin, for
a little while tonight?'. she asked.
"Till 9 Heat a crown, as Usual."
Gretchen sought the kitchen and
found an apron and cap. These half
crowns were fine things to pick up oe.
casionally, for it was only upon occa-
sions that she worked at the Black
Eagle. In an obscure corner sat the
young vintner. His faee brightenedw e
as he nevi the goose girl. In the very
corner itself was the mountaineer who
possessed a Swiss watch and gave
gol4an coins to goose girls. He was

cation of Europe, as had been in the
earlier days her remarkable abduction.
For sixteen years the search had gone
on fruitlessly. In a garret in Dresden
the agents of Herbeek found her, a
singer in the chorus of the opera. The
newspapers and illustrated weeklies
raged about her for awhile, elaborated
the story of her struggles, the mysteri-
ous remittances which had from time
to time saved her from direst poverty,
her ambition, her education which by
dint of hard work she had acquired.
The duke accused Franz of .Jugendheit.
Search as they would, the duke and
the chancellor never traced the source
of the remittances. The duke held
stubbornly/that the sender of these
benefactions was moved by the im-
pulse of a guilty conscience and that
this guilty conscience was in Jugend-
belt.
And was the girl happy with all cher
new grandeur, with all these lackeys
and attentions and environs?. Some-
times she longed for the freedom and
lack care of ber Dresden garret, her
musician friends, the studios, the
crash and glitter of the opera.
She was lovely enough to inspire
fervor and homage and love in all
masculine minds. She was witty and
talented, Carmichael said she was one
of the most beautiful women in all
Europe.
She was still in the window seat
when the chancellor was announced.
"Your highness," he said, "1 am
come to announce to you that there
waits for you a high place in; the af-
fairs .ot the world."
"The second crown in dtigendheit?"
'Wow father" --
"Yes. , He leaves the matter wholly
in my hands."
"it is for the goad of the state. A.
princess like yourself must never wed
an inferior,"

• Carmichael was often a visitor at
the Black Eagle. Later he stepped
into the big ball in his evening clothes.
"Geed evening, Frau Wirtin."
"Geed evening, your excellency."
She was quite fluttered when this line
young pian spoke to ber. "What is on
your mind?"
"Many things." He saw Gretchen.
"The goose girl," he murmured .sud.
denly. "Is Gretchen one of your wait-
resses?"
"She comes in once in awhile. She's
a good girl. I'm glad to help here .
Gretchen saw Carmichael and nod-
ded.
"I shall be at yonder table," he said,
indicating the vacant chair. Carmi-
chael made his way to the table.
Across the room he had not recognized
the vintner, but now he remembered

two or three days before. The vint-
tier turned back the lid of his stein
and drank slowly.
Carmichael sat down. Now, this
vintner's face was something familiar.
Carmichael stirred his memory. It
was not in Drelberg that he had seen
him before. But where?
Gretchen arrived with the tankard,
which she sat down at Carmichael'S
elbow.
"Will you not join me, herr?" he in-
vited,
"Thank you," said the vintner.
Gretchen took up the empty tankard
and made off. Carmichael was first to
speak.
"She is the handsomest peasant 1
ever saw or knew,"
"You know her? There teas a spark

"The grape," mused Carmiehaeel,
"You will never learn how to press it

"France," said the vintner moodily.
"Ile you think there will be any France

Carmichael laughed, "France fa an
incurable cosmic malady; It will al-

tated, throttled, but'it will not die."
"You are food of France?"
"Very."
"Do yon think it wise to say so
here?" - -
"I ant the American consul,; nobody
minds my opinions:"
"The American consul," repeated the
vintner.
Gretchen set the tankards down, and
Carmichael put put a silver crown.

THE YOUNci VINTr 511.
AICMICHAEL . thirstily drank
his first tankard, thinking: "So

our goose • girl? Confound my
memory! 1 -would give- 20 crowns to
know where I have seen him. A line
beet,", he said aloud, holding up the
second tankard;
'1'he vintner raised his. There was
an unconscious grace in the movement.
A covert glance at his hand satisfied
Carmichael In regard to one thing. He
might be.a-vintner, but the hand was
°ns soft and well kept as a woman's.
Could a manwith hands like these
mean well toward Gretchen? Gretchen
.was bothinnocent and unworldly. To
the right man she might be easy prey:
;never to n Man like Colones von Wal-
lensteid, whose power and high office
were alike sinister to any girl of the
Peasantry. , But a man in the guise
of her• own class, of her own world
and peopie,'here was a snare Gretchen
might not be able to foresee.
A tankard :rapping a table nearby
called Gretchen to ber duties.
"Gretchen is beautiful enough to be
a queen, and yet she is merely a Hebe
in a tavern." remarked Carmichael.
"Hebe?" suspiciously.
"Liebe was a cup bearer to the myth-
ological _ gods in olden times," Car-
michael explained. He had set a trap,
but the vintner bad not fallen into it.
"A fairy story." The vintner nodded.
He understood now. •
Carmichael would lay another trap.
"What happened to her?"
"Oh," said Carmichael, "she spilled
wine on a god 011e day, and they ban-
Ished her."
."It must have been a rare vintage."
"I• suppose you are familiar with all
the valleys. Diosel'?"
"Yes. That is a fine country."
The old man in tatters sat erect in
his chair.
"You have served?"
"A. little. If I could be an officer I
should like the army." The vintner
reached for his pipe, which lay on the
tables
"Try this," urged Carmichael, offer-
ing his pouch.
"This will be good tobacco, I know."
The vintner_alled his pipe. -•
Carmichael followed this gift with
many questions about wines and vin-
tages, and hidden in these questions
were a dozen clever traps. But the
other walked over them unhesitant,
with a certainty of step which cha-
grined the trapper.
By and by the vintner rose and bade
his table companion a good night. He
had not offered to buy anything. This
frugality was purely of the thrifty
peasant. But the vintner expressed
many thanks. On his way to the door
he stopped and whispered into Gretch-
en's ear.
The press in the room was thinning.
A carter sauntered past and sat doavn
unconcernedly at the table occupied by
the old man, whose face Carmichael
had not yet seen. A little later a
butcher approached the same table and
seated himself. 'It was then a dusty
baker came along and repeated this
procedure, and Carmicbael's curiosity
was enlivened. Undoubtedly they were
Socialists, and this was a little con-
clave, and the peculiar manner of their
meeting, the silence and mystery, were
purely fictitional.
Had Carmichael not fallen a -dream-
ing over his pipe he would have seen
the old man pass three Slips of paper
across the table. He would have seen
the carter, the butcher and the baker
pocket these slips stolidly, He would
have seen the mountaineer wave his
hand sharply and the trio rise afid dis-
perse. Carmichael lett the Black
Eagle, nursing the sunken ember in
his pipe.
lutermediately the mountaineer paid
his score and started for the stairs
Which led to the bedrooms above. But
he stopped at the bar. A very old man
was having a pail filled with hot cab-
bage soup. It Was the ancient clock
mender across the way. The moue.

reserve.' The Clod;; mender had the as -

lCrumerweg was indeed a crooked
way, It formed a dozen elbows and
ragged half circles as it slunk off from
the Adlergasse. It Was half atter 9
when Gretchen and the vintner picked
their way over cobbles pitted here and
there with muilholes. They were arm
In arm,
"Only a little farther," said Gretchen,
for the vintner' had never before pass-
ed over this way,
"Long as It is and crooked, heaven
kuows it Is short enough!" He en-
circled her with his arms and kissed
her. "I love you! I love you!" he said. --
Her bosom swelled, her heart throb-
bed, and she breathed in. ecstasy the
sweet chill air that rushed through the
broken street.
"After the vintage," she said, giving,
his arm a pressure. For this hand-
some fellow' was to be her husband
when the vines were pruned and fresh-
ened against the coming winter.
"Aye, after the vintage," he echoed.
But there was tragedy in his heart as
deep and profounll as his love.
"My grandmother—I caU her that, for
I haven't any grandmother—is old and
seldom leaves the house. I promised
that after work tonight I'd bring my
man home and let her see how hand-
some he is. She is always saying that
we need a man about, and yet I can
do a man's work as well as the next
one. I love you, too, Leo!" She pulled
his hand to her lips and quickly kissed
it, frightened; but unashamed. •
"G rete hen;'G retchien!"
She stopped. "What is it?" keenly.
"There was pain in your voice."
"The thought of how I love you hurts
me There is nothing else, nothing,
neither riches nor crowns, nothing but
yeti, Gretchen."
They proceeded until they came to
the end of their journey at No. 40 in
the Krumerweg. It was a house of
hanging gables. almost as old as the
town itself.
Frau Schwarz, Gretchen's grand-
mother, owned the house. It was
all that barricaded ber from poverty's
wolves. and, what with sundry taxes
and repairs and tenants who paid in-
frequently, it was little enough.
Gretchen opened the door, which was
unlocked. There was no light in the
ball. She pressed her lover in her
arms, kissed him lightly and pushed
him into the living room. Gretchen
ran forward, lighted two candles, then
kissed the old woman seated in the one
comfortable chair.
"Here I am, grandmother!"
"And who is with you?"
_ "b.Ly man!" cried Gretchen gavtg.
"Bring him near the."
Gretchen gatheredi up two stools and
placed them on ether side of her
grandmother and motioned to tlfe vint-
ner to sit down.
"Where are you from? You are not
a Dreiberger," the old woman asked.
"From the north, grandmother."
,"Your name."
"Leopold Dietrich, a
'trade."
"Give me your hand."
The vintner looked surprised for a
moment, Gretchen approved. So he
gave the old wo-
man his left hand.
The grandmother
smoothed it out
upon her own and
bent her shrepd
eyes. A frown be-
gan to gather on
the vintner's
brow and a sweat
in his palm.
"1 see many
strange things
here," said the
palmist in a
brooding tone.
"What do you
see?" asked
Gretchen.
"I see very lit-
tle of vineyards.
I. see riches. I see vast armies moving
against each other; powder and fire;
devastation. I do not see you, young
man, among those who tramp with
guns on their shoulders. You ride.
There is gold on your arms. You will
become great. But 1 do not under-
stand." •
"War!" he murmured.
Gretchen's heart sank.
"Shall 1.live?" asked the vintner,
"There is nothing here save death in
old ase, vintner." Her gnarled hand
seized his In a vise. "Do you mean
well by my girl?"
"Grandmother!" Gretchen remon-
strated.
The vintner withdrew his hand slow-
ly
"Is this the hand of a liar and a
cheat? Ig it the hand of a dishonest
man?"
"There, is no dishonesty there, but
there are lines 1 do not understand.
It is like seeing people in a mist. They
pass instantly and disappear. But I
repeat, do you mean well by my girl?"
"Before God and his angels I love
her; before all mankind I would glad-
ly declare it. Gretchen shall never
come to harm at these bands. I swear
it." •
"I believe you." The old woman's
form relaxed its tenseness.
There was a sound outside. A ear,
tinge bad stopped. Some one opened
the door and began to climb the stairs.
"There is something strange gotn 'On

"'Three times a veiled lady bas called

Gretchen led him to the street.
