S TYRDLEAM WCIDENT.
Hidden away in a deep valley on
the Tyrolean frontier lie the twe
villages of Garmieb and Paten
kirchen. The latter is an old
Roman town; the former is of
modern growth. To the uniniti
ated traveler these villages seem
to form a single town, but should
he dare to disclose his ideas to a
native he would probably be set
upon with knives, and sent back
to Munich by the next train. A
bitter feud, its origin long forgot
ten, has always existed between
the two places. The people of
Patenkirchen, looking down from
their perch of Roman antiquity,
deride their neighbors as the pro
duct of an unpolished and pain
fully modern age. The inhabi
tants of Garmish despise the other
villagers as proud, overbearing
fellows, who never lift their noses
from their beer mugs.
Now a few years ago Madl
Schwatz was the prettiest girl in
Patenkirchen. The entire male
population was deiAted to her.
Her slaves cut her hay when they
should have been eating their lun
cheons, carried home her rakes
from the field, and even helped
her milk the cow in t*o evening.
Her father was commonly known
as Bummel Schwatz (bummeln
meaning in the vernacular to be
drunk long and often), and was
looked upon as a wenithy man.
He had chosen Johann Frei, the
butcher, as a proper match for his
daughter, but unfortunately Madl
did not appreciate Johann’s good
points. lie was fat, rough, in
delicate in mind and body, and
always bad a smell of old meat
about hi 3 hands. Besides she was
in love with Pauli Fischer.
Pauli was much below her in
station. He was poor and lived
in Garmish. For two long years
he had worked in the field adjoin
ing that where Madl cut hei
father’s hay. But he had never
spoken to her, although he had
watched her by the hour:
One night Bummel Schwatz
came home from the inn and mis
took the cow stable for his own
room. The cow resented the in
trusion, and broke two ot his ribs
with her kicks. He was confined
to his bed, and his good wife had
to stay at home with him, so for
almost a week Madl went to the
fields ol one. The. first Av Pauli
came over to borrow a whetstone.
They were soon talking as if they
had known each other for years.
Before Schwatz was on his feet
again Madl had promised Pauli to
marry him, if heaven and her
father were willing.
About the middle of August the
Prince Regent drove through the
Tyrol on his way to his Schloss at
Hohenschwangau. The two vil
lages, putting old quarrels aside
for the moment, arranged a mons
ter fete in his honor. There were
to be torchlight parades, music
and speeches. Moreover, the
largest iiotei in Garmish was to be
set aside for dancing and general
gayety.
Madl had arranged to meet
Pauli at Garmish, where they were
to spend the evening quietly.
They hoped that in the general
confusion they might escape the
notice of Schwatz. Madl -was
decked out in her best. Her short
red skirt was crossed and recrossed
with thick embroidery, and quaint
silver buckles shown on her shoes.
Around her neck and across the
front of her black bodice countless
silver chains and bangles were
draped in studied confusion. Her
broad black hat, with its bit of
edelweiss cautrht by a shining
clasp, was jauntily set on her dark
hair. In fact, she was a most at
tractive picture. Even the young
parish priest, fresh from his semi
nary cell, glanced at her out of
the corners of his eyes, and then
turned away with a sigh and shake
or his newly tonsured head.
Pauli was also in his best
clothes. He was thinking with
pleasure of the coming evening,
when it suddenly occurred to him
that ne had no beer mug of his
own. Now in the Tyrol it is al
most an insult to your fiance to
offer her beer in anything but
vour own mug. The more costly
id decorative it is the more she is
,i ttered.
. 'auii had never had enough
. ney to buy even a common
Litre pot. He had often said that
ue would rather spend his marks
tor beer than for the glass one
rank it out of. He finished
- sing as soon as possible, and
ai ned out to borrow a mue from
me of his friends. Unfortunately,
very body was using their steins,
* he had to give up the search,
t he tried to buy one on his
it, but could find no one will
to sell a mug for anything but
•ash.
When he had visited all the
shop-keepers in the town, and had
been refused ever}’where, be went
into a small inn, and sat dowrn in
a corner to think the matter over.
His thoughts were interrupted by
a noisy fellow, who staggered into
the room and sat dow r n at the
table opposite him. Pauli looked
up angrily. It was Frei, the
butgher, vary drunk.
Frei called for beer, and in pay
ing for it drew a handful of gold
from his pocket. He had jus*
sold a cow, he told Pauli bet we n
hiccoughs, and had made a mighty
good bargain, too. Before he had
finished hi*3 litre, his head dropped
forward on his arms, aud he began
to snore. Pauli moved closer to
the sleeper. He tried to get hold
of his wallet, but Frei woke up
with a snarl, cursing him for dis
turbing his slumbers.
“ Nevermind.” said Pauli quiet
ly. “ The beer is bad here. Come
over to the ‘ Golden Engel,’ and
we’U get something fit to drink.”
The butcher was too drunk to
do anything but conseut, so they
stumbed out together.
Madl had been waiting for Pauli
almost half an hour. She was
growing angry with him for being
so late. Just as she had given up
all hope of seeing him at all, he
came running up with a large
bundle under his arm. She was
about to berate him roundly for
his tardiness he produced
from his package the most wond
erful beer mug that she had ever
seen. It was covered with yellow
mountains and brown huntsmen,
red houses, pink sunsets, goats
and chamois, and across the front
was written in big green letters.
“ Du mein, Schatz.”
The sight of this work of art so
overpowered her with delight that
she forgot all about Pauli's having
kept her waiting so long. In the
inn they chose out a quiet corner,
where they could watch the dan
cing and drink their beer without
danger of being seen by Schwatz.
It was a delightful evening for
both of them. Pauli was liberality
itself, Madl thought. Only once
he acted churlishly, when she had
reached for his dirk to cut their
bread and cheese. He had pushed
her hand roughly aside, and hold
ing bis knife in its sheath, had in
sisted that she should break the
bread with her fingers. They
soon forgot this trilling incident,
however, and the evening went ail
too quickly. When Pauli left
Madl at her father’s door, the sun
was just coming up behind the
bare peaks of the “ Zugspitz.”
Tlie next day Frei’s body was
discovered in one of the brooks
that run through the Garmish
meadows. Drunk as he was the
butcher had detencled himself for
some time, for his hands were
gashed and torn with his efforts
to grasp the murderer’s knife. It
was a simple matter to find the
criminal. Pauli made but little
attempt to conceal what he had
done. Some six months after
wards he was hanged at Munich.
Madl has since consoled herself
with her neighbor, the shoemaker.
He is not disagreeable or dirty
like Frei, and is a better match
than Pauli would have been, for
he is quite well, to do, and lives in
Patenkirchen. Pauli’s mug stands
on the mantel in Madl’s parlor.
She often lets the children play
with it, for it keeps them quiet
while she is talking to Father
Fink, the parish priest.—J. R.
Oliver, in the Harvard Advocate.
Make Him Read This.
There is a point on eve ry man’s
head where that particular man
should wear his hat. Some men
can wear their hats well down,
close to their eyebrows, and
look well in doing so. Other
men’s appearance would be fatal
ly ruined by wearing their hats so
low. Now and then a man can
adopt an irregular pose for his
hat—sidewise, ‘‘down in front,” or
a little back, and not lose caste as a
reputable member of society. All
the same, whatever position of the
hat is found to be becoming and
comfortable should be adhered to
and no new hat accepted which
does not reach and stop at that
point. In determining the proper
hat hearings it is well to take a
side view as well as the front view
of one’s self with the hat on. The
hat should come down low enough
to take a firm grip on the head
when the wind blows.
Growing Oak Trees in Glasses
A young oak tree growing in a
glass vase of water is not only or
namental, but interesting. Place
an acorn suspended by a thread
within half an inch of the surface
of the water. Let it remain un
disturbed for months, save for the
filling up of the vessel to rephee
evaporation, and an occasional
complete change of the water by
a siphon. The acorn will throw
a root down into the water, and
upward will shoot a slender stem
with glossy leaves. Hyacinth
glasses are the best for tin par
pose.
A little charcoal at the bottom
is .needed to keep the water pare.
These are frequently seen in E tg
lish restaurants.—N. Y. Times.
