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. Forewarned.
