Poor littm Yuddi's child hood was hot very fnll o pleasure. For her were none f the toys ; and games that mode m skill auq ingenuity have fashioned to make the ' season of youth enjoyaSle. In the cold sea son Ynddi was oeea' sion.-illy sent to a school presided over by a wise old I-rahmin,- Rh ista, who, for a few "ptee," as the smallest na tive coin is called, taught Ids pupils as nvnch as their brains could absorb m the limited time thej- gave to study. Many people think India 13 a land where great heat prevails, the year round. This is true only of cenain of the southern parts; but, in the north, where there are some of the highest mountains in the world, and where" farming is carried on in the vallery be tween I6fty hills or upon very elevated plateaus, tire cold, in winter and dur ing the long "rainy season," is often intense. Poor Yuddi frequently suffer ed much from the bitter weather, her clothing: being- thin find scanty, while the walls of the Hut "and the loosely fitted doorwav admitted a $rreat dea of frosty air. . The dearest wish of per lieart was for a large warm cloak in which she could brave the cold when site was allowed to go to schol and, wrap wier self at nieht. Oftertand i often Ishe raved that such a eood erift might be sent to her, for long time in yaia. She had heard a great deal about fair ies who watched over trood children yet the one who ought to have attend ed on her had never made herself known. "W ith t the sweet, , trusting faith of childhood j Ynddi did not give way to despair, but owly strovtvto be a better 'girl, believinp: ttiat it bei guard lan had not come, it was only oecause she had not deserved the boon. Late one night,after Yuddi had been asleep for several hours, she was- star tied from her slumbers by a voicw ?all ing in the" sweetest tones she had ever heard : -. i' - . i . : '. ' "Awake,1 Yuddi and see what I have brought thee !" The child sat up on her ted, of dried rice leaves.rubbed her astonished eyes, wmch at length show ed to her the most beautiful beinjr sie had ever 'seen. Ynddi knew at onoe that it was a fairy. It was not, how- yer, such a creature as our western writers have told s of or that we see in nictures 'or upon the stage in panto mines or spectacular playsj..! It wasjnbt dressed in white gauze, not did it have butterfly-like wings and magie wand. No! this was' an Indian'fairy with a dark olive-tinted skinf and withbate arms and fet. Bound the body, was wound in numerous foldsl a scarf of some many colored material, in which shone threads of. eld. , The fold fell almost to her knees, below peared loose trousers of a which ap se mi-trans- parent silver gauze.' Round her wrist and ankles were massive rings studded with gems. A single diamond, brilliant as the 'Kohinoor" - itpelf Queea n Victoria's richest jewel glittered -n 4 her fore head, sustained by a narrow fillet of crold. - From' this seemed to flow a soft C3 2 lieht. which suffused the Ihut. Once, when at a -bazaar, Yuddi bad seen a Nautch dancer who bore! a faint re- semblance to the fairy." The dancer had been, till now. hei ideal of boatttjr. but she saw at once how surpassingly lovely was the present visitor. Yuddi was not at ali ' frightened, but she f lanced round 'with me aaxietv to see i her parent-were awake. Tuey Here sleeping soundly and Yuddi could not helr feelinsr elad' that she had this lovely being all to herself. T am wVp." she naid: " what can "Fnddi, the little daughter of Bi Lings, do to serve you t" 'Nothinfir.ehiid.''answered the fairy, "I am come to serve you. You have 1 longed for a cloak; see, I hve brought you one." nd she held up before the 1 gitfs delighted gaze the most exquis ite irarment she had ever beheld. It was of the nnrest white - Umb's wool and round the collar and edges were embroidered some of the wisest sayings of Brahma. themselves they would surely die. "To v,o ...n. vjrvUheD. if I bid them bone there is a 1- & vju.i J . 7 . uv, J J I own V cried Yuddi. f "Yes, my child, if you can keep the tha crifK ThU u the Cloak of Truth' and no one must wear it who does not speak the truth. If the wearer deceives or equivocates, be it ever so little.the word 'Falsifier' will appear on it in letters of flaming scar- et. Will von take it and wear it !" Now Yuddi had always been a very good little girl. Her mother had taught her how wicked it was to lie and the teaching had gone home. It was not, however, without some little tremor that Yuddi answered : -. 1 "I will take it and try to be worthy to wear it, oh, my good fairy.' "ThatiswelL I hope vou will keep it long. But there are other conditions j lt to the gift. If the fatal word appears on it you must instantly take it off. Then the scarlet letters will fade away and you must find some one to take it from you. That person you must watch. If he or she wears it in trnth and parity all is well; if not, you must seek till you can discover a proper and faithful owner. Will you promise to do all this t" I "I will." renlied Yuddi, who was so determined to deserve to keep the cloak that the last named conditions did not erealTy trouble her. - "Then let me plaee it round your honMom and mav ll the nowers of trood erant vou streneth lone to retain it With infinite gentleness and : tender- uess the rairy wrapped xuaui in a eloak and laid her back upon the rust- line couch. A moment later and alii" was in her mind night and day, was dark ind still ! Lulled by the ' warmth of her new covering Yuddi sank almost into sleep. When she the morninrr waa far ad-1 vanced Her father had lone gone to his dailv toil : but Tier mother stood over her JooKint? in wonuer ai inei magic earmert. "In the names of Rrahma, Siva and vchnn 'nijmml th wnndorlnv wo. man, when she perceived her daughter to be fully aroused."where did you get that cloak." Then Yuddi told the marvelous story nd th ml womn who bad a atronc- belief in the supernatural, and who, moreover, had never had cause to doubt her child's veracity, accepted it without a murmur. "You are indeed blessed, my onlyi one," she said as she clasped her to her breast. "Strive to retain the fairy's i gift." All that morning Yuddi was mten- sely happy, but at the hour of Pn dinner. He,too.saw the cloak,and was told its history. But he scoffed at the tale, and accused poor Yuddi of having found or stolen the eloak and then at tempting to deceive hi nr. The poor little erirl was deeply wounded. Never befoie had her word been distrusted.: Ou telling the story the seeond time to one who was unsympathetic, she began to realize how almost impossible it sounded. So, later, when she went out wearing the eloak, and some ehildren crowded around her, and asked where she got it, she unhappily ; equivocated. In an instant the dread-1 f ul word "falsifier," in the flaming letters of tell-tale scarlet appeared upon her back. Her companions ran from her screaming with fear. Yuddi tore off the cloak, and almost blinded with I'll. L . ..1.

Yoddi was, however,7 almost heart- ttf-okea, and it was only when her mother reminded her that she still owed a 4oty to the fairy, that sh roused herself a little from her sorrow VI will keen my word in that at least," she said. ""I will go to the good RLasta, Blaster, and offer it to him." Without loss of time she sought tha wise old mau, told her story and of fered the cloak. , "My child," he said, as he took it, 'I will tryto wear it; Bat I am old ind know the . world and men well. and Know tne woria ana men weu.i To few it can oe gtren ro oe aosoiuieiy . - f m . 1 1 1 - trnthtui. come to me m me mornmic.

"Child have you come to mock mo T' he cried. 4I eould not keep it an hour, and d v best for my clients. I might keep it an hour if I were asleep, though J believe I sometimes talk in my sleep, bo even then I couldn't be sure of it." Onoe mote the weary search began. Wise woraeu. famous for herbs and medicines, refused to' try it. "Did 1 tell some sick people the truth about possible chance for them. If I told others of what my meJicines are made they would loose faith in them, lake away your cloak." Pay after day poor Yuddi continued the task which she began to think was hopeless. Many took the cloak who had not wisdom enough to know that there was not the remotest chance ot their keeping it even a few minutes. Iraaesmen lost it through misrepre- senting their goods ; manufacture, through selling adulterated articles nJ even an artist, who was famed for seekinif after ideal trnth. through wil- Mly attempting to improve ou nature " landscape and hy grossly flat tenng in bis portraits. likewise lost At last the despairing Yuddi gained audience with the wisest man in the land, the King's Chief Councilor. "You must be very youug and inno cent to come to me my child," he said when she had told the reason of her "Know that if I told the truth to my Royal Master about some of our foreign relatious, orphan he asks me what bis people think of him, 1 should need about a hundred lives a year.' I . . v. a " Then let me see tho King, " boldly ciied Yuddi "he at least has none to fear." "Xou think so child?

On leaving the place Yuddi met an old, old man a kind of priest, or dervish, who frequently preached to the peopleand in the intervals of his preaching begged for enough to keep him alive. He was clad in the most wretched rags, and as Yuddi passed. he asked for something to get food and clothes; immediately she offered him the cloak, explaining upon what con dition he could wear it.

" When the Federals got possession of the Shenandoah Valley and repaired the railroad track and ran their trains, deEachmeuts of predatory bands made it a business to lie in ambush and fire into; the coaches. A good deal of this work was done for a time by men ' be lon'ying to Imboden and Mosby's com mands, and finally, to protect them sel vb. the Federals used to take along a uu'mber of Southern citizens. Some would be compelled to ride on the en gine, and the others would be distrib uted through the cars, thus making the chances even that if a volley was fired some of our o wn people would be killed. . This stopped the practice of ambushing but not until the writer nad a very close call from death. - I was scouting around Winchester, and flad just left a farmhouse where I had remained all night-, when a squadron of Federal cavalry struck my trail-. I was hounded and dogged until mid-afternoon before I got clear away froinlhem, and duriug this time I was put to such physical exertions that was seized with : a chill about five o'clock in the afternoon and soon be came too ill to travel. I was then in the woods and there I remained until next flay at nooa, a part of the time out oi my head, . 1 finally , got better, and partly by walking and partly by crawling.I reached a farmhouse a mile away j The farmer was a Soutiiern man, loo old to go into the service, and 1 would have been received with all kUduess bat for the Federals. I had scarcely entered the house when a detachment of them rode up to the gate, knd ten minutes later I was be ing carried off as a prisoner. Theionly good feature about it was that Iwas taken for a rebel deserter instead of a spy, and my treatment was, therefore, far better. In three or four diys I was all right again, and then I was ordered aboard one of the trains and given half the engineer's seat. In deed, was chained there, and when the ofijeer who had the matter in hand left mi he was kind enough to say : "Thtre, now, if your cursed rebel friend1 can tjre into this side of the cab without bitting you, let them cop away 1 bad a brother, nt that time in Mosby'$ command, and I knew that he had bean engaged in the work of firing upon trains. .Lomehow felt that we should be fired upon, and that I should see Frank that day, and both events quickly came tb'pass. We were not fifteen jniles out of Winchester, and were just pulling oat of a heajry cut into a piece of woods, when I caught sight ot the head and face of a man above i log. We were running -ot over fifteen miles an hour, and I-was lookinsrinto the woods. The man in ambjisn wax still ahead of ns when aaw hiri, and we were not ten feet nearer when I recognized the face as Frank'a In the same instant I aaw that he had a cavalry carbine resting across the log, and that there were four or five th r men beyond him They wre there to fire a volley into thelrai, and we on the engine, would get it fiwt I had only seconds in which to! act. The first thing was to shout to the engineer and Jireman to drop to the floor,- and . the next to wheel squarely around and shout to Frank: f "v "For $od's sake, don't shoot! It's Ed hollon!" Frank's gun was pointed full at my face as tshouted, and we looked right into eacf other's eyes. In that brief instant f saw 'a horror come to his eyes, his fcace grew white as snow, and he could not mo ve his lips. His finger was pulling the trigger, and it was too late. A; sheet of flame leaped up at me, something burned the side of my cheek, and then we had passed on. There was but the one shot. The other men hadheard my warning in tia.e.to hold their fire. For about a minute I could not tell whether I was badly hurt or had escaped soot free. But by and by I discovered that I had a bullet blister across my right cheek, and had lost a lock of hair big enough to divide among half a dozen sweethearts. My action in warning the engineer and fireman was laid up to my credit, but for the" next four weeks I had to keep my seat on the locomotive. 1 It was the last time any train was fired on, however, and if I did the Federals all the damage 1 1 could before ' and after, they had to thank. me for clear ing a. railroad; Hue ot a dangerous enemy.

In many respects it iM mueh easier to "keep houae' in Oermany i than in America. yliTman servant are srrone iwd willing, and move along in the same routine, never' flying' off at a. tangent, ai the best Irish jgirl is prone to do at ' most lncoyement seasons. The houses are almost : all apartment houses, with rooms all Ou one. floor. No washihk U done in the : house, hot ven the dish-towels.,-: .Well regulated German1 families I have the . washing done once in three months only, but the American residents, not having such a supply of linen, send out the washing each week. 1 The "waslch frau" comes in from the country with her small cart,' drawn by a dog, and wun a nuge oasKet on ner own uaa. The prices are small, the family wash ing for our family bf eight costing but about two dollars a week. j - None of the bread is made in tba house. There is a bakeshop ou every corner, and the bread is brought to the door every more ice. The rolls ire like the French rolls and are delicious. The "swot-back" or twice baked bread is a btnall slice browned on each side in the oven; which raafcea it" very crisp. ' The black bread comes in long loaves, certainly half a yard long. ' It is vBry nutritious, and my ' children are vfery fond of it. It is the universal custom to giye each servant one pound ot Cof fee and one pound of sugar a month, and half a pound of butter a week ; also a certain amount i of black bread daily. This, they use for their own cbnsumption. The j cook does the marketing and is perfectly trustworthy. Everything is bought ' in small quan tities and there 13 almost notlnng left over from one day to another. Noth ing is wasted, and it is quite a study to see the various tempting ways in which remnants are "worked over." Pieces of chicken, ham and beef are all chop ped together, and all sorts' ofj meat cakes and croquette3 are made. VA very nice pie is made by alternate layers of this chopped meat and sliced potatoes, the top being, covered with bread crumbs and the whole baked for half an hour. The kitcheb is the prettiest room in the house. The white porcelain stove with its bright saucepans; the dishes ranged around the room in dressers.; the plants in the wirtdowsj and, above all, the cleanliness that prevails, Com bine to make the room a most pleasing picture. A servant never 6bjects to doing anything that is asked. Black ing the boots is a part of the regular work of the second girl. I have several times seen a servant out on the side walk helping to bring in the. coal If an errand is to be done the' girl al ways goes out larehmded, even going to market, with' nothing whatever for head gear.
