Hans, the Coachman.

Original. April 2. I have won my bet and am now domesticated in the house of the old Countess von Bertheim as governess for her orphan grandchildren. The bet was this: Half a dozen of us girls, all daughters of nobles, were speaking of the kindness of heart of the aged countess. During the chat I offered to bet Laura von O. that I would get a Job from the old lady by simply asking for one. Laura said: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself you, one of the wealthiest girls in Dresden to take her money!" However, the bet was made a sealskin coat agaiust a diamond ring. -I put on some old clothes, went to the countess, told her a pitiful story and was engaged as nurse. Finding that I was educated, she promoted me to be governess. April 5. I have found it easier to win the bet than to get away from here. What excuse can I give the dear old lady for one day accepting a position given In kindness alone and throwing it up the next? I don't mind staying here a bit. My duties give me occupation, the children are dear little things, and the countess is all loveliness. Tbey say many daughters of wealthy people In , ' - j , . America are uuvvuuajs acceyiiHg pusi- m tlons in order that they may find an ! object. At any rate, I am In no hurry to get away. April 18. I am still with the countess. I have not been so contented since I left school. But one thing troubles me. Every day the children must drive out In the air, and I must go with them. I do not like to confess it even to myself, but I have such singular feelings toward Hans. Great heavens, can I be falling in love with a coachman? He never addresses me except when I address him. Then he talks delightfully. He has been to America and tells me many things of that remarkable people. He says he's going back there to make his fortune. It frightens me to feel as I do about his going so far away from me. May 2. It Is a month today since I came here. I made a great mistake in coming and a greater mistake in not going away at once. I am daily becoming more deeply involved Just thtalc of it with a coachman. Yesterday he passed the gulf that sepai tes us and told me that he loved me. What shall I do? I can't stay here, and I can't bring myself to go away. I feel all the while a burning Ehame. True, I told Hans that if he presumed again I would tell the countess and he would be discharged, but this. was only my weakness. I should have left tho house immediately.. May 10. Hans yesterday met me In the garden. Ho was coming from the stables and I from the house. He asked me to go to a rustic bench, as he had something very Important to say to me. Weak creature that I was, I consented. He poured out his love In such a passionate torrent that he took me quite off my feet. What did I do but admit that I loved him, though I told him that the difference in our stations must keep us forever apart. Oh, the weakness of a woman's pride when love comes! May 15. A letter from Laura today saying mut sue is iviwy iw yuy lue uet cue had lost and asking -what In the world is keeping me here. I have replied that I love every one here so well that

May 22. Something very remarkable has happened. I am going home at once. When the countess paid me my wages I felt so funny. She told me that I have suited her exactly and she would recommend me for any position for which I might apply. But when the dear old lady added a considerable sum to what she had agreed to pay I felt my cheeks grow hot, and I shed a few tears. I must make a note of what has brought about my leaving her service. This morning I went into her boudoir suddenly without being announced. She was not there, but some one was there whom I did not expect to find. It was Hans, the coachman. My astonishment would not have been so great had he not been dressed like a gentleman and wa3 lounging In an easy chair reading a newspaper. On seeing my surprise he smiled. "Fraulein,' he said, "I am In your power. You may take revenge If you like for my presumption. If you report me to the government I shall be held for military service. , I live In America, where I hate a profitable business. I am the countess' youngest son and have been obliged to make my own career. Desiring to see my dear old mother, I liavo come lacog. that I may not have to spend several reras here in

East Sido residents are resting easier today aa the result of an announcement by Andrew Ringman, one of the prominent real estate dealers, that he would not raise the, rents on his different houses during the year of 1908. "In every section of the city, . especially the down town districts, the real estate men are raising the price of rents, but such will not be the case on the East Side," said Mr. Ringman yesterday. - The residents throughout the East Side district have been uneasy as the result of the raise in rents and the announcement yesterday will greatly lessen the trouble of the tenants.

Newsboys' Game Which Haa Smsil Chances for the Plungers. Perhaps it isn't an entirely new Eame, but it was the first time that the wayfarer had seen It, says tho New York Sun. A group of newsboys were gathered about another boy who had an improvised top made of a spool pierced by a sharpened skewer. The spool was so cut that it presented four square sides, each marked with a letter. The letters were P. T. N. and A. The boy with the top spun it, while the others made wagers, mostly in cents. When the top came to rest it naturally fell on one of the square sides. "What does it mean?" asked the wayfarer. "Well," said one of the boys, "according to the way the top falls yea can make or lose the money you put up. If it drops on P then you put in a sum equal to what you bet for the fellow who runs the wheel. If it falls on T then you can take back the stake you put up. "If it comes on N that means none. You lose just what you put up. If it comes to A then the banker has to pay all the men who are playing." The spool roulette wheel did a fine business for the banker while the onlooker was there.

No one would guess that "Uncle" had so illustrious an ancestor as a right reverend prelate, yet this seems to be so, for pawnbroking wa3 first introduced into England by Michael de Northburg, bishop of London, in Edward III.'a reign. He set up an establishment for lending money to tho poorer Londoners on portable property, and according to Dugdale if any sum so borrowed was not paid at the expiration of a year thj preacher at St. Paul's Cress was to' announce that the pledge would , be sold unless previously redeemed.
