I will Illustrate by a story—a story in
which I bore a subordinate part
I was In my younger days a ped<
trian globe trotter. I presume that If
the bicycle had then been invented I
should have traveled on a wheej. or
later on a motor, but at that time no
one hod henrd of either of these modes
of conveyance, and. being fond of
walking. I walked. At the time of my
story I was making a pedestrian tour
In Germany. The country Is thickly
settled, und there are many towns
quite near together; consequently 1
found my method of progression easy,
pleasant and healthful.
I-started one morning from Dresden
on the road to Leipzig and was trudg
lng along merrily when 1 met on the
road a girl about twenty years old
whose appearance struck me the mo
meut I looked at her. She wa* of the
German type-rhalr very light, eyes
very blue. Her apparel was that of a
"lady, only very much worn and soiled
Her shoes scarcely protected her from
the ground, certainly not from the
dampness. On her face was a look
weary and sad Indeed, she was a pic-
ture of affluence turned to poverty. 1
addressed her, taking care to do so re-
spectfully, with my hut in my hand
and sympathetically. Evidently she
had not been used, nt least not recent
|y. to being thus addressed, for she
took my speaking to her kindly.
“Good morning, fraulcln," I said to
her “It seems to me that you should
be riding rather than walking.'
“Alas, berr, I liuve not the means to
pay for riding."
“Have you far to go?"
"I am going to Dresden.”,
She seemed to need sustenance.
There could be no Impropriety In my
offering her food, and I bad, besides the
lenther bag strapped to my back, a
basket satchel slung to iny waist con-
taining a luncheon.
“I hare come from Dresden this
morning," I said, “and the distance is
nt least five miles. You cannot do
that without being fortified ”
1 unslung my lunch basket, opened
It and saw by the eager look In her
eyes that she was very hungry. Look-
ing about for a seat, I espied a fiat
stone by the roadside and led the way
thither, the girl following me half re
luctnntly. There I took out the sand
wlehea, sausages, cheese and such oth
er articles as are provided nt a Ger
man Inn and offered them to her. She
ate as though she lmd hnd no food
for some time In the basket also was
a pint bottle of wine, of which I took
a sip ouly and Insisted on her drink
lng the rest.
During her refreshment 1 gave her
every opportunity to tell me the atory
which 1 felt sure was connected with
her being sc far out of her natural
sphere, for not only her dress and ap
pearance but her language bespoke
the lady This I was able to Judge,
for 1 had studied at Heidelberg uud
spoke German quite readily But she
disregarded uiy hints nud could not be
Induced to speak of the past
As to the present she was more com
munlcatlve She told me that she had
been a member of a little strolling
band that gave performances, her part
being to sing But they had taken all
the contributions of those before whom
they performed to themselves and
gave her nothing. She had only just
left the .a and was going to Dresden to
look out for some other way of making
I a living
“1 can suggest an employment, I
said, ’l>y which i think you can earn
I money. You have a very beautiful
head, neck and shoulders There are
artists in Dresden who would pay you
to pose for them."
Do'yoti think so?’’ she asked, quite
Interest ed.
“If my artistic perceptive faculties
are of any value they surely will."
This seemed to encourage her. When
we had finished our luncheon and she
had been also fortified by the* wine
she sahl to me:
“The only way 1 can make a return
for what vou have given me la to ring
for you ’
“No return Is tussled, but I should
be taapp> to bear you sing."
She suit: for uie a German ballad

starts, no v Ineffective, now gushing
forth like t spring of abundant clear

I should have beeu only too glad to
help her iu this respect, but there Is an
unwritten law that a man cannot give
to a woman except under certain ex
ceptlonal circumstances.
“I will make another suggestion to
you," I said, “supplementary to my
first- Suppose you pose for artists, and
If you make more than you require
for your living you may give the sur
plus iu exchange for instruction ”
Her face lit up with hope. "Ach,
berr, you have given me a vuluable
plan! And If it Is successful 1 shall
owe everything to you. Y’ou have told
me that there Is a value to artists iu
my head and neck, und you have told
tne that I have a voice. Neither of
these things l knew before today.
Goodby. and God bless you!”
•One moment," I said, "before we
part. I should like you to carry back
this basket affair In which I carried
my luncheon to the landlady of the
Inn from which 1 came. She furnishes
these receptacles to travelers aa au
advertisement to her hostelry.”
I showed the girl the name of the
Inn sewed In worsted letters on the bag.
While she was not looking at me I
slipped a piece of gold Into It, theu
banded It to her. I knew my landlady
well and was sure that if she found
the money Inside she would compel the
bearer to take it, having no right to It
herself. It could not very well be re-
turned to me. Regretting that I dared
not do more for the poor girl, 1 bade
her goodby. she appearing grateful
for my sympathy.
Five years had passed. I had settled
down a married man and had given up
traveling abroad on foot. But I had
not given up a taste for the fine arts to
which I wns born. One after another
prlma donnas were visiting New York.
I went one night to the opera In New
York when the Academy of Music was
still the only opera house In that city. ]
When the prlma donna came upon the |
stage her face seemed familiar to me.
and when she saug I recognized In her
voice certain qualities that I had heard
in that of the girl I hnd met between
Leipzig, and Dresden five years before.
Perhaps I might not have recognized
the face alone or tho voice alone, but
the two together convinced me that
the lady on the stage was the girl I
had met abroad.
I kept my seat till the end of the last
act, when, taking out my cord, 1 scrib
bled beneath my name in pencil, "On
the road to Dresden; luncheon, with a
pint of German wine,” and sent it to
the prlma donna behind the scenes. It
was not long before I received au invi-
tation to meet the lady, whom I found
waiting for me liefore driving to her
hotel. The pressure of the hand with
which she greeted me told me how
well she remembered and how appre-
ciative she was of the trifling favor I
had done her.
“This Is no place to talk,” she said.
'We people of the stage always sup
after our work, and you must coine
with me for a return of the luncheon
you gave me when I was famished.’
I entered the carriage with her and
on arriving at her hotel found set out
In her private parlor an elaborate sup-
per. Wo sat down to table together,
and I asked her to tell me what had
happened to her since we parted on
the road five years before.
“I will begin back of that.” she said.
"I will tell you how I came into the
condition you found me. But I tell It
to you only because I consider that my
being In my present position ts due to
your friendly advice.”
Before proceeding further she show-
ed me on a chain about her neck the
gold coin I had slipped Into the lunch
basket which I had sent to my land
lady
“1 uni the daughter of a German
baron I was brought up. as meat Eu-
ropean girls are, to understand that
my parents would choose the mam I
should marry. My father chose for me
i man about ills own age who was
ery wealthy and ns disagreeable as
L was wealthy. I was not In love
With any one else, but I rebelled
against marrying n man 1 loathed. My
father told me to submit or leave the
home In which I had been carefully
brought up. not thinking that I would
do the latter. That same night when
all were in bed I left in the clothes in
which you met tne and with what
money 1 could scrape together
Whether my father tried to find me
or not I do not know. 1 think he has
considered me dead to him. At any
rate. I have never heaVd from him
since I left home. As for my mother,
though she might yearn for roc, she
would be too submissive to my father
to oppose his will lit nnything
“After leaving you 1 went to Dres
den, where I posed for artists, as you
suggested, and. getting a little money
together, began the study of music. I
did not need to make a liviug that way
long, for my voice proved so promising
that I was taken up by one who wns
glad to pay for the finishing of my ed
ucation, I making a contract to sing
under his management as soon as 1
had completed my studies "
I spent a pleasant hour listening to
her recital, during which time she
told me that she was wedded to her
profession and would never take a htis-
l*and, a resolution she kept- On the
following day my wife called on her.
Invited her to our house, and she after
ward spent the most of her leisure

to accept when she was without a

famous, after one of her returns from
America to the fatherland, the visited

WHAT TOADS ARE WORTH.
Science offers a new, solution
for the bug problem. It is to
employ, in its professional ca-
pacity, so to speak, the toad
the ordinary hop toad of the
field and garden—as an insect
destroyer, declares a writer to
the Technical World Magazine.
In this business the humble
toad is unequaled by any other
living animal. He is the great-
est bug exterminator in the
world. It is entirely practic-
able to utilize his services on an
extensive scale, employing him
systematically as an ally to keep
in check the insects which levy
an annual tax of over eight hun-
dred million dollars upon our
agricultural resources.
There is no reason why the
farmers of the country should
not hatch and rear their own
supply of toads for local service.
With a pond, or even a small
pool insured against drying up
during late spring, the creatures
will breed of their own accord in
any desired numbers up to -the
limit of the food supply available
in the shape of insects. But
one thing absolutely essential is
that they shall be protracted
against their natural enemies,
and by no means the least de-
structive of their enemies are
small boys who, through mere
thoughtlessness, kill toads when-
ever they gel a chance.
It is estimated that an average
toad is worth five dollars a year
for the cutworms alone which it
destroys. But this is only one
item. The amount a toad will
eat is astonishing. A large
specimen has been known to de-
vt.ur one hundred rose beetles at
a single meal. One toad needed
seventy-seven myriapods the
common household centipede—
to satisfy his appetite; another,
fifty-five army worms; and yet
another sixty-five gypsy moth
caterpillars. Still another toad
was seen to eat thirty-five large
full-grown celery worms in
three hours, while another ac-
cepted eighty-six flies, fed to
him. in less than ten minutes.
It is a common thing when the
occupants of an ants nest are
swarming and the insects are
emerging in large numbers to
see an enterprising toad sit at
the entrance of the burrow and
snap up every ant that comes
out The slaughter he accom-
plishes under such circum-
stances is frightful. But of
course most ants are not reckon-
ed as insects injurious to man;
and the toad unquestionably de-
stroys some species which are
beneficial to the farmer. Upon
the whole he is immensely useful,
devouring countless numbers of
the very worst bug foes of the
crops.—From Our Dumb Am
