Couut Caspar Uotwald at twenty-one
caiue iutu tils ancestral estates As
tor family respectability, Itis Inlier
itance was large; landed property
und money were inversely small. In
bis father's time the scbloss that had
Been iu the family for hundreds of
(•ears had passed into the possession
jf an American millionaire. When
Caspar received his inheritance it was
tbe remains of everything the family
tiad owned turned iuto money and in
American currency amounted to about
S5.000
The young man concluded that he
might as well avail himself of the
only other asset lu his possession—an
entry Into the court circle of Berlin.
The funds at his command would en
able biiu to keep such u position
through one season, after which he
would go to some country where he
would not be known and make a liv
ing the best way he could.
Had he realized that he would great
ly need this money iu the new Held,
that Its possession would be a great
advantage to nny one knowing how to
handle It. doubtless be would have
foregone this plan of a brief career lu
the gay world at Berlin and held ou to
his funds. But Count Caspar was as
Ignorant of business as n child, and it
:s quite probable that, considering this
Ignorance, had he retained his inher
Itance. he would not have had the
slightest knowledge of how to use it
lu mil tuuuue.
So it was that one autumn Count
Caspar Gotwald appeared In Berlin,
presented hi3 credentials and made bis
appearance in that exclusive society
presided over by the kaiser and the
kaiserin. He wa9 the handsomest man
in the court circle that winter, the
most entertaining conversationalist and
the best daucer. All the women were
In love with him. Vet, singular as It |
may appear, he seemed to have no fac
ulty for bettering his financial condi
tion by marrying a fortune, which he
might easily have done.
For this there was a reason Among
those who entered Berlin society that
year was au American family unmed
Rathbone. Winifred Rathbone theu
saw the gay world for the Brst time
as n young lady. Her father was a
retired banker and rich. The young
count met her and was conquered
During the whole season he was sub
servient to her beck and call. But
when the spring opened be was not be
troth,"Hi to her and had thrown over
half a dczrn tvrnien any one of whom
would have been irlad to marry him.
Aft^r the departure ot the fair Winl
fred. Uarmi Worn It. oue of Count I as
par's ititimaie friends u lio knew of
his necessities, lojk him to task Tor
having wasted bis opportunities.
••Since you could ifol {:••! the Anieri
can. wity did >•■>;! n.'.l take one of the
offcrr women who were dying for
ynt: T
"I did not nsk Miss Rathbone to
marry me."
"Did not usk her?"
"No In America they do not make
marriages as we do here. It is con
sidered beneath a man who has noth
ing to ask a woman of wealth to mar
ry him."
"Then why did you not ask the Bar
oness Ricbter?"
"I did not wish to marry the bar
oness, and I do not kuow that the
baroness wished to marry me."
"Caspar, you talk like a fool."
"Nevertheless I am a gentleman, and
my ancestors have been honorable
men. I cannot offer myself and my
poverty to any woman in whose coun
try a man without the means of sup
porting himself is demeaned by tak
ing a rich wife."
"Well," concluded the baron, "since
you won't marry the American be
cause you are poor and will not marry
one of your own countrywomen who
is rich I don't see what you are going
to do."
"I am going to America to lose my
self among the 90,000,000 people there
are there."
"How will you make a living?"
"By doing anything I can And to do."
"What, a count work?" '
"I shall drop my title. 1 shall be
Caspar Gotwald."
a Inner involving invited guests on
Christmas, und tbe lady concluded to
have one seut in from a restaurant A
few minutes before it was served she
sent her daughter into the dining room
to see that all had been provided as
ordered. One of the waiters was about
to place a dish upon the table and, at
seeing Miss Rathbone, started and
dropped it on the floor.
The eyes of the waller and those of
Miss Rathbone met The man turned
red as a peony: the girl preserved her
equanimity. But fur a few moments,
which seemed to both a brief eternity,
neither spoke.
It would be dilBcult to imagine a more
embarrassing meeting than occurred
between Winifred Hathbone and this
man, who was none other than Couut
Caspar Gotwald, whom she had met
several years before In the court social
circle at Berlin. But Wiuifred was
equal to the occasion.
"Remove It." she said with the ut
most coolness.
The waiter retired to the kitchen to
get the wherewithal for the removal of
the wreckage, but returned in a few
moment, apparently having recovered
his equanimity. He gave no other In
dication after the dropping of the dish
that he recognized Winifred, and she
gave no sign that she recognized him.
"We must know the names of our
waiters," she said to him. "What shall
I call you?"
"Caspa r."
"Very well, Caspar. You may re
main after the dinner is over and the
dishes are put away. 1 would like to
speak with you."
There was something tn her tone, be
it sympathy or more than sympathy,
that enabled this scion of a noble house
to do his duty as a servant in the house
of the girl he had met and loved In a
far different situation with composure.
When Mrs. Rathbone entered the din
ing room with her guests both Wini
fred and the count fixed an anxious
eye upon her, dreading lest she recog
nize the nobleman In the waiter. How
ever, she was too preoccupied with her
duties as hostess to notice him. Once
during the dinner Wiuifred saw her
mother lookiug at the waiter with a
puzzled expression, but It was plain
lUrtt sue laneu 10 piuce uim.
Winifred treated tiie count as a serv
•tut, though her directions were spoken
rather as requests. When the dinner
was finished she urose with the others,
but remained in the dining room and
when there alone with the count said
to hiui:
"Come tomorrow at 3."
There was no change from the tone
In whirh she had spoken to him be
fore. He bowed without speaking and
was retiring from the room when she
added:
"Ton will come, will yon not?"
Their eyes met. Winifred saw that
without some insistence she would not
see him again and put a pleading In
her look.
"Yes, fruuleln," he said at last, "1
will come."
Fraulein is the word by which he
had been used to address her In Ber
lin.
The next day when Count Caspar
flotwnld u^adc Ills toilet before calling
ou Winifred Rnthbnne he took out a
suit of clothes that he had not worn
sinee he reached America. They were
not iu the latest fashion, but were in
the height of fashim; at the time they
were purchased.
"Count," Winifred said to him when
he appeared, "faiher did not recognize
you, and mother only fancied she had
seen some one very like you. Will you
tell me what happened to effect this
outward change in you?"
He told her what she did not know
before—that Ite had inherited an estate
which had been exhausted by his an
cestors aud that he was enjoying a
respite before going out Into the world
to accept what fate would provide for
him. Winifred, who knew that he had
been beset by women In high life In
Berlin, some of whom were rich, ask
ed him why he had not married a for
tune. as was customary in his coun
try.
"Because, fraulein," he replied, "1
loved one who would inherit great
wealth, In whose country honorable
men who are impoverished would not
offer marriage under such circum
stances."
A brief silence followed these words,
which was broken by the young lady.
"So you took it upon yourself," she
said, "to decide for her."
"I could do nothing else," was the
reply, "without demeaning myself."
"Was not an Injustice to her de
meaning yourself?" she asked.
He made no reply. The two stood
regarding each other for a moment;
then Winifred put out her hands.
From this point the romance of this
story must re'maltf "unfold' There Is n

| of her estate and has represented the
United States in a prominent dipla

when Christmas comes much is made
of It Why, the children sometimes
wonder, for on thai day their father
and mother seem to have a secret be
tween them which is all their own
Indeed, It is their own, for no one but
themselves knows that tbe pretty Miss
Rathbone, who could have married al
most any of the eligible young men of
her set, gave herself to a man with a
napkin on his arm
On Christmas day, when the dinner
Is served, the turkey carved and tbe
children's plates have been tilled, then
the father, pouring a glass of wine for
the mother and one for himself, holds
his glass aloft and looks at his wife
Smiling, she looks at him and says:
"Kellner" (waiter).
