A New YeJtr's morning "in the lit tle mountain liamlet of A , The town' chnrcli was filled witli wor shipers. ;The rector had just ascend ed the pulpit to - deliver bia sermon and to remind his parishioners of the importance of - the. day, when suddenly his sharp eye made the discovery that a stranger was seated among his audience, a man, whom he was sure of that he had never seen there before. r Whether from design or accident, the stranger had seated himself on the bencb reserved for the town of ficers and men of rank and v?a3 cu riously gazed at by . bia neighbors. Uohody.bad iakeiua seat close be. eide him, as though fearing to mo lest so distinguished appearing .a man, in spite of the fact, that the little edifice, was crowded. 1 A strange face among bis parish ioners was a very raf e thing for the good rector, who had baptized and confirmed the majority of them, and, while not in the habft of judging people by their looks, he could not help noticing from his vantage ground on the pulpit that the man was very becomingly and richly at tired.: t-.-;"- However, the rector did not allow the stranger's presence to interfere with his duties. He delivered bis eermon, admonishing bis .hearers not to be forgetful of the teachings of Christy the lesson of his coming and sufferings, and the joys and mis eries which arc our ' portion in each succeeding year. By the , time bo bad reached bis bouse the rector had almost forgot ten the existence of ; the stranger. But the man had also been noticed by his wife, who did not fail to men tion the circumstance to him. They exchanged a few casual remarks about the probable cause that had brought the stranger to their out of the way little mountain town on New Year's day of all days. Surely it was not the architectural value of their little church,, fox 'it posessed none; theretore tne - rector s wue formed the pleasing conclusion that I be bad somehow heard of the ora torical talents of her husband and, bad come to bear .bim preach the New Year's sermon. He may have been, ho she argued (the wish is ev er the father of the thought), sent by the synod to satisy himself from personal observation of the rector s. abilities, and so forth, all of which her husband modestly refuted. ' Pretty ' soon -New-Year's callers began-to put in their appearance, and once more the rector discarded all thoughts of the fascinating stran ger. Later the sexton arrived, hav ing some . commissions to . execute and business matters to talk over. This done, he remained at the door, twisting his hat in his fingers, making sundry 1 unsuccessful : at tempts to say something. He clearr ed his throat and finally summoned up" sufficient courage to ask, "Pas tor, haveyoTJ noticed that we bad an 'incognito living and in the flesh in our church today?" -' 4 h 4 . "Certainly, I - have," responded the rectpjv , f -I dare say you mean a stranger, clad in a silver gray great coat?" . -; . : . -'' "Yes, - yes something; truly no- ble!" ' , -r.'r:r' "What, the coat or the stranger?" . " "Both." : : , Jj ; .Pv -"Do you mean to insinuate that the stranger fjl traveling tinder an assumed name?"' ; . ' -- -'That is just It! An assumed name that nobody knows." ' ' "You mean a name that yon do not know? .-"Well, I dare say. - .But our count is apt to know it?' ' , "Our count? ;.What do you mean? Whr our count?"- 'ii'T'":-5' ' "Our count and this strangerare verv" timid acquaintances. " 'Timid? you fool; 'intimate,' not 'timid.' But I. hardly think so. He was not in the count's pew."' "What of it rector? There is a secret connected.witb bis appearance-!, here. I tell you. ,Tbey did not come tn rbTiTch together, it is true. " First- came Mrrlncognito, and. three min utes Jatcr the count. When ha be held the stranger, be lootea some what surorised and . taken aback, as though he mean io say, 'Keep it dark!' He then smiled very pleas ant! v and passed by to bis pew, Mr, Incoffnito smiled also. no doubt meaning, 'All right, count; we, un derstand each otber. ' After the serv ice the count, smiled agamjwhen passing the stranger, wHo, In re turn, made a polite obeisance, look ing knowingly at the pulpit and ves try.as if to eay, 'Our -judgment agrees, count Well, you are aware that the count thinks a great deal of your reverence l"-. "Not so fast, you sly fox. Tell me first bow you have discovered that i'our Count knows more of this mys terious - stranger. A mutual ex, change of greetings alone maybe purely accidental, you know." - - "It was no difficult matter to fer ret that out, rector The mysterious stranger remained behind after the congregation bad dispersed and ask ed me to .show him the few things worth Seeing- i He had nothing to say and merely glanced at every thing in a superficial manner, with the exception of the covers of our pulpit and baptismal font, which be inspeoted - very olosely. Finally I . summoned up courage to tell bim that, while there was not much to be seen in'ihe church, the count's castle contained, many gems of- art, whereupon he answered that be had bad a consequence with the count an" hour ago, . ".'Conference,' you , idiot; not 'consequence. ' " "Well, tben,oonference. He gave me a bountiful douceur and asked the-way to the station." ; ,."A11 right, I understand now." " -: The sexton left - J Hardly had he disappeared -when the station mas ter was announced. The rector was surprised" that the busy officer should; have found time to pay bim a-New Year's call, but he received him affably. . - " .After an exchange of the usual commonplaces the railroad man re marked in an offhand manner, "Are you aware, rector, that a princely personage . has honored our humble place with a short visit thismorn ing, returning to the capital after a hasty consultation with the 'count and a visit to. the church?" i ---. This information almost startled the good rector out of his wits. He could - not forbear asking for more details.' ";;-: ' - -. "The prince,", answered the staf tion master, "arrived on the morn ing train and proceeded on foot to the castle. . There he and the count had been in consultation. - Later be bad been to churob, returning to the city on the 11:30 o'clock train. I beard these' details from one of the count's servants, who took the same train for a visit to .his sister. This servant be it understood, has the aristocratic habit of traveling sec ond clans for short distances, which, I must confess, was an impertinence, considering the august presence of tfie prinoo. Bat what could I do? Pacing up and down near the ticket office, the prince could not . help hearing what was going on. He step ped up to the window and asked me to exchange bis second class -ticket for .one of the first- class, offering the money for the difference. This was not in a condition to do, as the train in question does not carry first class compartments. The prince was greatly annoyed, and, though I am innocent, l tnow ne win mate me suffer for bis inconvenience. All I could do was to order the conduct or to place his highness in a reserved compartment by himself." - '.I 'j The rector allayed, the apprehen. Bions of the frightened station mas-' tor. ij-- 4 ''-'- At the dinner table he communi cated the observations of the latter ana of the sexton to his' astonished wife. The more both compared notes the more grew the importance of the mysterious stranger, and bis wife insisted that the prince had oome to convey momentous news to the count from the court, where the latter warf greatly liked. ' Even the usually calm and collected - rector finally agreed that this unexpected journey on a New Year's morning must have been of consequence.' He brought fo mind again the contents of his ' sermon, but his conscience was clear and be could detect no sentence nor word that might be construed against the court or the reigning .house. One - thing only troublad him. Had the prince in the silver gray greatcoat been a mes- songer of peace or war for their lit-. tie borough? When his official duties of the day bad been discharged, the rector, ac companied by his wif e, paid the usual New Year's call at the castle to offer the compliments of the sea son.- -.! k-;-;r - ,;.-t. Though they tried hard to appear unconcerned the ..count and bis countess were preoccupied. In spite of all ; efforts dictated by their in nate delicacy of feeling both would now and then show an unusual ab- sentmindedness, nor were they al ways able to bide their suppressed excitement The cOunt would look through the" window - toward the road leading to the station, as though anxiously expecting somethingAnd-. the countess would now and then stop in the middle of a sentence or lose the thread of, her conversation and then try hard to collect herself. Hosts and callers felt the awkward situations It was &a though the spir it of the mysterious, stranger was present with them, clad in his omi nous silver gray reatcpafr putting to flight their usuarfjonYiYiality, f -- At length the rector's wife -could stand this unnatural state of affairs no longer. As Unconcernedly as pos sible' sbe asked, "Is it true, countess, -that yon have had a visitor from the capital early this morning? The "countess exchanged a ques tioning look with her husband be fore she replied, "No, not 1, at least the visit was paid to the count,- but then I don't" - - ; "The prince left you before lunch eon?" added the rector.. "-r . . "The prince? What prince?" This from'tbe count r- - - . '.'Why, your caller, to be sure!"': ' Tha count smiled his stereotyped smila . "A prince, my dear rector, yes, if you please,' a prince, and one .who serves "an all powerful, 'auto cratic mistress I" - ..-," " "Perhaps an English nobleman, thought the reotor's wife. In fact," resumed the count "His serene highness has done you more honor than myself, rector, for he spent an entire hour., listening to your sermon,-while to me he gave but 15 minntes." , . , a , tr? "Then I suppose I owe it to you. count' that-the prince visited our little church: during bis short stay?.'!; "If you like, yes,Tector, He ascer tained accidentally from one of my servants that I wpuld go .to church, and, I dare say he also meant to egjj a good -example. . B6t,' what is of more importance, your prince brought mo good news, and I would gladly satisfy your, curiosity.". "Not at all, not at nil, gracious sir. Do not misinterpret my query. "It is not that, rector. We would not keep you waiting were we not ourselves still on the anxious seat, as it wore." - , ;-:'- Just then a servant appeared, pre senting a telegram to his master, whouopened and read it, handing it to the countess. " "At last,4' she exclaimed after glancing at its contents. "But it is strange that this gentleman this prince, I beg- his ; pardon should have heard of it before your father knew anything about it'.' .
