It was a bcaatif al spriug moraiog to ward tbo end of the seventeenth century tho boodo Germany. In a meadow thickly carpeted with flowers o boy and girl were strolling band in hand. ' He was about 14 years old, and his dress betokened ulru of high birth. She was about a year younger and wore the at tire of a girl of the middle clots. Her face was one of the loveliest ever seen. With her gentle bine eyes and ber bright, fair hair, which fell in two long plaits down her bock, and tho boy'si ryes rested upon her With an expression of loving admiration which softened down his usually haughty and defiant cost of countenance, : Ho had twisted a handful of field flowers into a wreath, and 'placing ifrupon hep head be sprang awaylangbing to survey the effect of bis adornment : "How pretty thou art, Anna Licse," he cried. "There is no other like thee anywboro in tho wide world. When thou art older, thou shonldst wear a crown of Jewels instead of one of flow ers, for thou art born to be a little queen." The little girl laughed gently and shook her bead. . . "Anapothoeory'sdanghtercannot be- oomo a great lady,' much loss a queen," - she said, ."so I shall hove to do without a crown and be content with my moth er's trinkots when I grow up! " i Tho boy drew her to him and bend ing bis head so as to be on a level with hers whispered: "Thou Bhalt be a great lady, little Anna Liese, for I mean when,, I'm a man to marry thee, and then thon'lt be princess ot this provinco and have as many fine jowols as my lady mother. Does that plcauo theo?" .-"It sounds a pretty tale," laughed the little girl smiling, "but thou know est it Is nothing but a dream. They let us play together and be friends bocaaso we oro only children, but when thou art' a man we shall have to be strangers, and thou wilt marry a noblo lady who will bring theo more wealth and lands. that is what princes havo to do, I know." "But I shall not, Wiosgen," cried the boy. "I moan what I say, and who even now cares to cross my-will? Thou and no other shall be my wife and my princess, so now tbon knowest thy fate. " etill the little girl shook her lovely blond head incredulously, and. at that moment a man's figure appeared at the farther end of tho field. ; "See," said Anna Liese, "tboy oomo from tbo castle to look for thee. We must say goodby for today." The boy looked angrily in tbo direc tion of the richly attired servitor, shall not go," ho said defiantly. Wish to remain where I am." . "U the prince or tby mother wish to speak to thee, tbey will be angry," said Anno Liese, "and perhaps tbey will not let us be playmates any more. Uo with bim now," sbe added persuasively. stroking his arm and trying to smile away tho frown that darkened bis face, "and tomorrow we can come here again. Go. to please mot" ; . "Well, then," said the boy, his lips relaxing Into a smile aa he looked down at her, "to please thee I will go. Bat remember, tomorrow at the some boar be thou here.. Wiesgon.

Tha prince was the only surviving ton of adoring parent whose indulgence had helped to foster a dis position already by nature wild and on' goveraablo, and there was no one In the wild world who could persuade or gold him to well aa gentle Anna Liese. bee- lug this, and knowing that the little airl waar a good child, and well brought oa hir mother placed no obstacle' in the way of their meeting together, and to tbey grow np, aa one may say, tide by tide, loving each other devotedly. 1 Bat as tbo months and year pasted on and Leopold grew into a tall youth and Anna Lieso into the fairest maid in all the land the Princess Henrietta be gan to see danger in this oonatant com panionship. And ber fears proved only too well founded. The affection of tha boy for tha little child merged imper- oepti bly into the paationato love of man for maid, and Leopold displayed aa open admiration for Anna Ueaa which appalled hi mother ' He spoke of mar riagemarriage with an apothooary'i daughter! Ha, the reigning prince of the province, fur hi father bad been dead some years. At any cost, aba told herself, a atop matt be pat to MU youthful folly.

Anxiously tbo mother waited. No princely son appeared. ' In front of the apothecary's honso in tho little town below a party of riders had drawn up, and the most brilliantly dressed among thorn was leaning from his horse, speaking words of passionate love and Joyous greeting to a beautiful girl, who stood with flushed faoe and downoast eyes boforo bim. ' It was Prince Leopold, whose first thought upon reaching home wasfor his Anna Liese. "I have seen no one to prefer to theo, he whispered. "Tell me, 'Wiesgon, dost thou still love mo best of all?" And Anna Lieso's sweet blue eyes an swered for ber as she raised them a moment to bis. : When the princess beard tho reason of ber son's tardy arrival, she was in despair. If nearly two years of absence among novel and briUiaut scenes could not cure her son, the case was hopeless. Bitterly slio rued her blindness in liav leg allowed the old childish friendship to continue so long, lint she was woman of resources. Site did not give nn the battle: she only changed her trc- tics. Previously she hod been loath to mention Anna Liese if she could help it; now, of ber own accord, sho often spoke of her, and Leopold hud long no counts of bis loved one. The princess, rendered desperate by the state of at tain, resorted to means sbe would oth erwise have despised. She collected What gossip she could concerning Anna Lieso and retailed it in a very garbled form to her sou. Thus the girl, accord ing to these accounts, had become a practiced coquette; sbe was beset with admirers and lutished smiles on them one and all. Latterly there was one whom sbe had seemed to favor more than the othor a cousin, a young dxv tor, who hail just returned from lengthy travels. To bim, every ouo raid, Auna Lieso was sure to bo betrothed before very long. Tho lady's tactics succeeded in their primary object; Leopold became furi ously jealous. Ho did not believe the part about Anna , Lieso's coquetries (which was indeed an utter fabrication), but the idea of any man daring Co look with covetous eyes upon his treasure made him wild with anger. . Pretty Anno Liese, tbo innocent cause of all these heartburnings, was sitting one day at work beside one of tho quaint old windows of her father's honso. It was in the front of the dwell Ing and looked out into the street, for which reason it was o favorite place with the girl, who liked to watch the passersby . - ' To ber entered her cousin, ur. w u helm, with some carious old coins and other articles amassed on bis foreign travels. . "See, cousin," ho said, "I "have brought the things I promised to show you." Anna Liese pnt down - nor work- ana drew near to (be young man. Their heads wero bent very close together over (ho curiosities, and to any one pausing In the street and chancing to look np their attitodo might very well pass for that of lovers. . . - As misfortune would bavo it it so happened that tbo princess iuul ber sou rode past cu their way to tbo castle. Leopold's eye of course eought his loved one's dwelling, and his mother's gaze followed his. At her glance fell apon the scene iu tho window ber eyes lit aa and touching ber sou's arm sbe said: : "Look here, my sou, and see for yourself the truth of what I told you. Your Aana Lieso loves not yon, but an other." : The effect on the passionate young man was tremendous, and tbo result very different from what tho short sighted motbor bod forosaon. Uttering a cry of rage, ho sprang from bis horse iond dushed into the boose. With drawn sword bo flew up the stair and iuto-the apartment whore tbe cousins wero. , At Anna Lieso saw her lover enter sword in hand and with a face distorted With passion sbe ottered a terrified shriek, and tbe young doctor eyed tbo intruder with amazement : Leopoldfor the nonce quite mad, rushed straight at bim, and the torrent of abuse which bo poured forth, together with his wild demeanor, left no doubt at agaiust ; whom. jis.hMtility wa di rected. . The doctor was a man of peace and timid. He turned and fled into another room. The prince followed bim, and before Anna Lieso who. bad rushed after them could stay bit arm be bud tabbed the unfortunate WHhelin through the heart Tbe young matt fell, batbed in blood, and Leopold, all ' bis fury suddenly abating before the dread ful tight looked down horror stricken npon tbe victim of hit mad wrath, while the household of the apothecary, aroused by Anna Liese't frantio criea, crowded round, speechless and terrified.. Tbe despair of tbe prince , at tbe outcome of tbe Jealousy which sbe her self bad aroused in ber too can be Imagined. True, she had do noed to fear for bim. Prince of the land, be stood In too high and unassailable a position to be called to aocoont for bit crime, beaidet which each affairs were looked npon with much let severity' in those stormy timet than they are now, and fhlt particular unhappy tuatt-r bad been 10 carefolly bashed np that few beyond tbo immediately concerned knew all the fact of the case. What affected the ptinoec ' meat deeply wa tbe bluer reflection that the whole ter rible episode wa of ber own bringing about rhtd known to well her ton 't ptuaBonate, nndiaclplined nature and potwt that ending that bad played upon it la to dangeroo a cry la. Too lata the realised tbe tremendoo power of tbe love against which he bad tried to bat tiv and now ber deareet with wa to bring about thai marriage which aha had Utberto striven with all ber might to prevent, for 1 aeemed to her now that in that alone lay ber eon' eal re tina. It wa a fatter which required tore delicact handling. The atherary'a faaeily, Arm and deep a wa their loyalty and affection for their prior, could not fail to feel both these mtt aaetrt deeply aha ken by at fatal act. and to give Anna Lies to marriage to the very taaa who had ciaio her coostn vrooU no dombt teem to them too dread fal a thing to ernaamplate. sV for the pretty maid herself, aba wa very nraefa to JoHet' predicament 8h had loved her eosaia and monrned krira deeply, bat aba loved hi desUoycr till atom, and that love nothing wa powerful tawogh to MO. Howeooklshs forget that hltfary had all been born of hitlove for her, and who knew bettor than she, bis playmate of old, that ter rible side of bis character which, once brought into play, led bim into acts for which he was hardly responsible? Many wero tho tears poor Auna Lieso shell iu the solitude and silence of her little chamber both for the dead cousin and that still dearer ouo, whom she hod not seen sluco tbe fatal day, and whom sbo knew would bo now suffering all the ngonies of unavailing remorse. She was Bitting thus, some weeks later, with her sad thoughts for solo companions, when tbe door opened and ber mother with tear stained eyes stood before her. , . .. "Daughter, I Auve come to fetch thee," she said in tones that trembled. "The princess ia down below with thy father, and thou art wanted." Auna Lieso tnrned pule. "The princess, mother?" "Yes, my child I" And then' the mother took tbo girl into her arms, and. her tears welled forth afresh. M8h comes to ask thee of us for her ton's l Wifo," she murmured. "Site says tbe was to blame for all bis jealousy and beseeches as to consent to the marriage. She told us that sbo sees now that thou alone cnust guide him as he needs to bo led and make bim a good man; that his life, for good or evil, is in tby bauds to mako or niar. " " "And you and my father what did you say?" faltered Anna Lieso. Her mother gontly stroked her hair as slid answered : "Thy father said at last "that tliiuo 'own heart should decide, my child. It may be that the princess is right and that tboo art tbe one pointed out by heaven to be this inuu's good augol. . If that Is so, we havo no right to with hold his salvation. God, who it so great and wise, knows what is for the best and ho will guide tbee tho right wayw my child." Leopold mennwbllo was sitting brood ing all alone in ouo of tho greut mas sively furnished rooms of the castle. It was getting dark very rapidly, but be did not notice the increasiuIaohi. It accorded but too well with tho darkness of his mind. His head was sunk for ward on bis breast, his eyes were fixed on vacancy, while all manner of tor menting reflections W were surging through his brain. And the chief of these, which kept over-.1 recurring, wan that by his own baud bo bad placed a barrier between bis love and himself forever. For she, tbe gentle, peaoe lov ing maiden, would surely never forgive such an act ns bis. No, his pretty Anna Liese, his darling Wiesgeu, as he had been wont to call her, was lost to him forover. Bitter tears welled to his eyes, and he cursed his mad and fatul im pulse for tlie thousandth time. At that moment tbo door behind him opened noiselessly, light footsteps glided across tbe polished floor,, and some one came and stood bosido him. And look ing up he saw with wondering eyes his love, bis Auna Liese, more beautiful than he had ever yet beheld her, with tears, half of sadness, half of joy, in the tender eyes that gazed upon him, Then, even us he sat spoocbless and bewildered, half doubting his own eyes. his mother glided up to hip and placed bis sweetheart's baud In his. Though this true story happened in times far from idyllic, nrxi the prince was by nature far from .an ideal hero of romance, one might well end tbe narra tive of his wooing with tbe old finale of tbe fairy tales, "They lived happily ever after, for Leopold and bit wife. from tbe time tbey were wedded till Anna Lieso's deatb, 47 years latoi, were lovers to too last. Nearly 200 years have passed since the day wben pretty Anna Liose bo- came the great lady of ber native land, but tbe name of both maid and lover still live in ttfo pages of German his tory, for tho prince was Leopold Forst von Anbalt-Dugxan, fqmons in Prussian annals a "der alte Deasauor," tbe gen oral who fought a a yoaug man under Frederick the Great himself and who for a period of nearly half a century ttood out conspicuously at one of the greatest soldiers of that day, Tha memory of Anna Lleao Foes it still held In honor in ber native prov ince, for sbe showed herself well worthy to fill tbe exalted position to which the wat raised.

We would not put iu any founda tion of either brick or stono wero we to build in barn, " says John Gould in Ohio Farmer. We have none under our two silos, built 12 years ago. In tbo barn we would. mako a square silo, put tbe girths on round and round, spacing a' littlo more as tbey approached tbe top, where thoy can be as much as three feet apart but asing moro toward and at the bottom. Level , tho ground ou tbe busemeut floor and put the first girths flat on the ground, tbenoxt eight inches "above, tbe next a footr spacing a little wider each time until above tbo cen ter, whore tbey can be much farther apart, Make tho silo distinctly independent of barn and walls. ' Lap tbo ouds of tbo girth and spike them well and then cut a short board and nail aoross tbe cor ners, at shown In tbe cut Cut It out in orescent form a little and wben you coil np your silo side up right round on this orosspieco and mako a "round corner" without any break or angle. Fig. 1 shows bow tbe corner is put to gether; Fig. 9 shows the crescent shaped column pr a silo. brace. Use good Georgia pine to ceil with and flooring not over three inches iu width. Make your "manholes" small, door fashion, without hinges, und to tuko out on tho inside. j, When tbo silo is completed, make sonio good cement and pry np your silo, a side at a time, aud drop it back into a good, liberal "mush" of cement, and then on the inside All the anglo where the walls and grouud moct with cement and small stone, out into the silo n foot and np on tbe sides, and on tbe outside cover the sill compiotoly. Draw tho toil from tho center of the silo up ou to the oemeut and pound down and make the bottom quite kettle shaped, fully a foot below tbe sills at tbe center. Do not cement tbo bottom unless you fear rats coming up from below. A clay floor for a silo is preferable by far if there is no danger of surface water get ting under. Whenover your silo gets to decaying on the wells, then will be time to paper lino and double ceil, and then you will' have a new silo. , A stono foundation adds nothing to the value of a wooden silo, and yoa cannot join wood aud stone together and muke a No. 1 job without mora Work und cost than to run the wooden walls lo tho founda tion, and it will never be so satisfac tory as an "all alike" silo.

" Tbe manager took him aside and told him tho secrots of tbe queer messages which hud passed from waiter to bead waiter and back to the kitchen. The distance is too groat for a waiter to walk back and transmit every order to tho cooks nnd then return to his cus tomer. Yours ago two waiters who should go down to fumo for tholr serivoo to dys peptic end unhappy mankind devised a system of signals for all tbo artiolet of tho bill of faro.
