A LOVE STORY.
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

Little Anna Liese from the apothe
cary' shop and Prince Leopold from tha
castle bad been playmates from early
childhood. 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'

wild world who could persuade or gold

and Anna Lieso into the fairest maid in

when hit arrival was expected was past
and still he came not Slowly the miu
ntet crept on. 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

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

, At Anna Lieso saw her lover enter

With passion sbe ottered a terrified

: 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

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

was to blame for all bis jealousy and

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

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

AN ALL ALIKE, SILO.
Aa Ohio Farmer's Idea of the Best Way
to Bnlld One In a Barn, .
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.

THE SILENT 8Y3TEM OF A LUNCH
ROOM IN CHICAGO.
Over Oae Ilnndred and fifty Different
Article of Food Which th Walters
Can Call for by Simply Haklaa Motions
With Their flanda.
Tho other duy a man slipped Into a
Monroe street lunchroom, ordered mo
diuru boiled eggs, and wben bebad done
so be duckod lustinotlvely that the
waiter's voice might pass over his head,
but it didn't.
The waiter snapped bis fingers vig
orously, looked aoross tho room and
thou raised his right hand With the
thumb and forefinger bold to form a
circlo nnd tho othor three fingers iu tho
air. Then bo turned to an urn to draw
the coffee quietly and in good order.
"Ain't you going to ordor ray eggs?"
tho man asked fearfully.
"Kggs is ordered, snh. Got 'em on
the flro now, " replied tbo waiter.
"How is that?" asked tbe customer
suspiciously.
"I ordered 'em as soon as yon gavo
me tbo order," said the waiter. "All 1
got to do is Just that, " and again be
mado tha cubulistio sign with his thumb
and forefinger above his bead.
Tbe rauu wus almost overcome by
surprise. At lust be had found tho place
he bad so long sought, whore he could
oat iu quietness. When he bad finished
tbe oggs and coffee, bo sought out the
manager of tho house and said:
"I want to buy a ticket to cat hero
tho rest of my life, and I want to find
out some things about this system of
yours. " 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. At first the system waa
qnite simple and the signs wero few,
calling only for tbo principal things on
tbe card, but it has grown with time
until now tbero are over ISO artiolet of
food which can to ordered by wave
aud motions of tbe hand. No other res
taurant in tho country hat a system like
It
A headwalter or bis assistant stands
In tbo center of tho floor during the
rush hoars and keeps an eye on the
wallers behind tbo long counters, tar
rounded by "stool climbers." If cus
tomer orders roast beef medium, tbe
waiter snaps bis' lingers to attract tbe
attention of tho bond wnltor. Then he
makes a out across his left hand with
bis right and sticks up hi right thumb
Instantly the head waiter repeat the
signal to a man in the Imck room, who
transmits it to tbe cook, and tbe roast
beef is being prepared before tbo wait
er wbo took the order ooutd bave gouo
Ave feet toward tbe kitchen, and there
is uo noise or fast about it If email
steak is ordered, tha waiter holds his
right band it tbe height of his head,

medium, be clinches bis baud quickly
and lets bis thumb project If tho cus
tomer wants It well done, the open
band sign Is followed by two quick
blows of tbe right Ost on tlie left palm.
Tbe eye of tho Interpreter most be
quick to catch tbo changes In tho sign,
fur a certain move of tbe band follow
ing another' meant something entirely
different from, wbat a certain move
means if originally displayed. If an
oysU-r stow I calloi for. Instead of
snooting "stow one" in strident tone,
aa Is the custom In many rustauranta of
tho lower price variety, tbe waiter
inapt bit finger, and when be bat
eaugbt tbe eye of tbe Interpreter be ex
'tend hit left arm with tbe fist closed
and tbe thumb in tbe air.
If tbe order la half a dozen fried oys
ters, the right band it thrust out with
the finger spread far apart. For bam
and egg the waiter place bi right
palm against bi cheek, that being the
signal for fried ham, and then extend
hi arm with the palm of the band op
and tbo finger closed, which mean
fried eggs.

I wiali to call the attention of insurors in Alamance county
to the fact that tho Burlington Insurance Agency, established io
1893 by the late firm of Tate & Albright, ia still in the ring. )
- There is' no insurftnee agency irt-Nertlr-arelin with better
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can giro low
er rates or butter indemnity. Only first-clans companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my office. With
. a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting ft share ' of the local patronage. v I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited . upon
all matters pertaining to insurance.
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will mako
it to the interest of all who desire protection for their families
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit
able investment, to confer with me boforo giving their applica
tions toother agents. . :
