The judge were some of th mot enlightened men nf the German literature Bauernfeld, Laube, Gross and several others. ) Returning from a bnainess trip, I entered my wife's boudoir, and found her kneeling before a low cJsair, on which sat a boy-baby with, large, round and wondering; eyes. She got up nad came rustling in her silken robe de chambre to meet me. She reached out her hand and greeted me not more heartily nor yet more formally than we were aconatonted to greet each other in those dava. - "There it is" aaid my wife, pointing to the child. "What?' akedl: but she stooped down before the little stranger, held a biscuit cioe to his little upturned face, and half turning toward me, replied: "Well, you know did we not read of it in the newspaper? Don't you rememberthe day before yesterday? And is it not beautiful ?" Now I do recollect that a few night before she bad held the dazttt- under th light of my stodent-laatp. and potetiag with bar finger to an advertisement, said to me: "Pleas read that."

this child belongs entirely to bar! I heard later that she had fives the mother a thousand dollars, the price of a set of jewels which the lav! old secretly. Why did 70a not tell me of HP said I. half angrily. " Because it would bare been too late if I had waited for your return to the eJty: aad beside I wanted to have it entirely for myself ; 1 waat to call it my own' said ska poutiagiy My horses, my dogs; bar caearies, bor gold" Dbee that I eoukl endure; but that ahe wanted to bare her child for herself akme, that ww too much for ma. The thought of it turtured me one. two day a loaf, On the third day, my wife baring gone out in her carriage, there came a veiled woman and detpaaded antra. It was m mother. Mke a shadow aba glided Into the room. and. with a half-suppresed aob, begged to ee her child onoe mora. 8be ceuld not part from him forever, without Imprinting one more kiss upon hbt cheek, I opened my safe qaiokiy: Here, my good woman, 1 aaid I. "take that, they bare not given yuu enough. Hot tears fell down her wan cheeks; she begged me not to judge aer too harahhr; shebad another ehiM. a cripple and helpless; she herself was tick and would not lire much longer, and what was to become of the children? Then she thought--I myself had finished the sentence, which a Violent tit of ooughing had interrupted. Yes.'' site had thought, " I will sell the healthy one, in order that the money may help the cripple when I am dead and gone " No, she must not j be Judged harshly; we rich ones know bat little of the trials and temptations of the pour. When my wife returned, I gave her an account of the call I had had, adding that I had given to the unfortunate one exactly Um same amount as she had. " And now.'' said L " you see the child

belongs to both of us.' She bit her lip with her little white teeth: ! It is ail th same to me." aaid she. after a moment's reflection, and with that ah pressed a tender' kiss on the little boy's mouth. It sounded almost like a challenge. Our child' I scarcely ever saw It An 1 the changes that were made in our household for nis sake were made entirely without me. Sometimes, after the most important things were decided, my content was then asked. " We are obliged to have a nurse, 1 hired one. Anselm" I nodded silently" W must tit up a nursery; that room is to warm for the child. I nodded silently, but I heard the sound of workmen, who were already busy in the hall. j What could I do better? Was it not all ', done for our child? My wife and I did not talk much about , the child, and when we did mention it. we ued only the name "It." Rut this , "If could be heard through the house at atrooKt any time of the day. 1 " Hush! no' so much noise! It sleeps, j It must bav it dinner! It should be t taken out for a drive. It bat hurt it- ' self!" And so the whole house began to turn round our It." This nameless neuter vexed me. "It must have it own nam,' said I, , one day. j I entirely forgot to aak the mother I I mean th woman what its name ; is," answered-my wife. Sh intended i to come again. But aho does not come, he is oertainly sick. Now. I call it j Max. Max is a pretty, short name; is 1 it not? "Hem." returned I, 1-etween two draughts of my cigar, JFritx would also be a unite pretty name." "One cannot change th name now. on account of I 2 -.t I U .1.. and then called out loudly: " Is Max mw uwurauvj, wiwcreu wr, nurtiv. np already? Never mind, was it not our child?. Once, though, 1 played my justifiable part toward our child. At dinner it was always served at a little table in an adjoining room. At sueh time we could hear, between the scantily dropping pern-es of our oonvetaation, its merry prattling, accompanied by tbe clatter ing of its spoon. My wife bad no rest; a eoattnnai sxawaM com ing between us and him: the soup might be too not, aad perhaps he might eat too much! " Wife," said L, rery quietly but very decidedly. " from to-morrow it shall eat with ua at our table. ItJeold. bow, with it two years." From that time on "It" ate with us. Ha sat there hi his high chair like a Prince, close to my wife; both opposite to ma like declared eneatia, as It were. The yellowiah. paleness of poverty had Klded to fine aristocratic pink in his la cheeks which, now becoming quite chubby, sat comfortable on the stiff fold of th napkin. It worked powerfully at its soup; and now that it aad fmlshed, set np th spoon Ilk a scepter In its little round fist on the taMe. Mywieaad I had exchanged a tew words, and now again, we sat silent. Appareatly on account of this silence, iti large eye began to open wider sad wider. Ahay tared on am, stared ! at any wH. wmt n sarrsMl. almoat mgntened expression, as if they nad a pfeseatlmMt that all was not right be tween us. I eon ess that these eye embarrjseed m. and that I had a feeling of relief when Fretterick entered with a dish. And I think that my wife felt the sans. And th following day, tbet war the aaaa hsrgv, wondarma; eyes, likaan appeafinf quastion, staring into th pant of our eoarartatioa. It souada rtdkuteus, but it It aevertheless true; w were culprini before the child, we two grown persons'. Andoyaegreesour conversation becain Th oecatkmaj prattliag of th littl on war noticed and apokea about; mdeed. sonetime there was matual hmghtor at his attempts to speak. All! how tight, how belWik pur her tsMsner smtartear oait 1 never baard that before? and what was

Btotter with aa, that I snajwusaat

over my writing desk listening as though 1 heard from a distance these same ailvery tones? With the feet sunny spring day "it" began to play ia the garden, which I could overlook from my seat in my office. She was generally with him. I could hear the sound of bis little feet on the pebble, and then bar footsteps. Sow ahe would ptevfnlry eaaaw him. and a chorus of twittering sparrows would Join their marry notes with the marry laughter. Now she would catch htm and kiss his cheeks over sad over. One I opened my window; n warm, balsam i jr streamed aronad nee, and a butterfly guttered in nad lit oa my inkstand. Juat tbea she came ont of a green, vine-grown bower, sbo was dressed in a daatllng white negligee, trimmed with costly laco; aU over bar streamed the gold sunshine, except that her face was overshadowed by the

pink of her panuoL How slim aha appeared! how ml in her movements! Had . r graoaI been blind? Truly the aunt and ooojtins were riht; ahe was in reality beautiful! A iweet smile transformed her features; she was happycertainly ia this meat ahe was and her hawinene from her child. Then a voice aaade itself heard in mv breast, which said very plainly: " Yoo are a monaser?" I got np and walked to the window. "It is a beautiful dav." called L I know bow cold and pjroaaic' it moat have founded to her. It came like a heavy cloud -shadow over a ronnv landscape. She answered something that I did not understand; bat the brightness was gone from her little face. Then (he took np the child, who was strrtrMn? out his arms to her, and kissed and oareaesd him before mv eyas. There it was when the first feeling of ieaionsv was aroused in me; a jealousy truly, but what a Strang jenkwsv; which could not make clear toitaeif who was its object! If " It" said "mamma" to her there cam a pain ia the heart: and th care with which she overwhelmed him almost drove me wild. I was jealous of both! It pained me that that I was not a third in the union. I exerted m self to gain a art of their love. I did it very clumsily. The child jersevered In a 'certain shyness, and she-had I not kept m self forcibly away. from her during these long; long ears? One day at th dinner table, after a skirmish of words, earn a great stfllneas Between us, a stillness more painful than it had ever I ecu. I glanced down at the flowers on my plate of Saxon porcelain, my displeasure showing in my face; but I felt plainly that "If had its eyes fixed on me, and also her eves! It was as if those fonr eve burned on mv forehead. Then sounded suddenly in the stillness: ' Papal' and again, louder and more courageous; Papa!" I shuddered. "It" sat there and stared, now very much frighteaed, overat rue. wtwdering. perhaps, whether a storm would be raided by it Papa." But her face sow was suffused with, glowing redoes, and her hatf-open lip trembled slightly. There came a flood of gladness over my heart Certainly no on but her had taught him this " Papa.'' Why did I not spring up, bound toward her, and with one word, one embrace, strike out the loneliness of these last six years? ( me right word ia this moment and all would have been welL It remained unspoken; I seemed to have lost all power to act; bat oa a certain page of ' mv ledger are still trace of the tears I .I." J sZP . - ; aneu IR umr a Ul f suumutj. There wa wo doubt about it; another spirit had stepped in with its little curly head the spirit of Lore; aad that made me a stranger in my own house. A precious sunshine brightened tbe rooms, even when the one in the heavens wa hidden by cloud. The faoas of the servants and even inanr'mste objects, streamed back then radiauc. But me, only, th sunshine did not touch. 1 felt myself always more and more unhappy m my kmelteess. Jedoey grew fat aw; it gar me all sort of footisk tnoaghta. 1 wanted-to rebel agsiaat the little autocrat, but that would be ridiculous. 1 wanted to give her the choice between him and me. I, audacious one, I knew rery well which side her heart would choose. At aaother tim I was readr to take steps in order to find the mother, aad with the power of gold, force her to take back her child behind my wife's back. That would be cowardly. J eoukl no longer fix my mind on business. I mistrusted even myself. Peof le saked what was tbe matter with ma. feigned Illness.
