UDGH SEILER of Zurich was rich and sixty. And he was in love tor the first time in hie life. In love with a girl who was not yet twenty. In love with pretty Oharlotte Foerster, daughter of & Government gamekeeper who owed his job to Seiler. ‘The Judge had met Charlotte by the merest chance one day as he was fishing at the base of the Bigelberg. Her sweetness, her fresh beauty and the nameless charm that clung to her all went straight to Seiler’s weak old heart and strong old brain. He walked home to her father’s cottage with her. Many « time after that—almost every day—Judge Seiler found his ‘way to the Foereter cottage. He was a revered and welcome guest. Char- lotte grew to have a genuine affection for him. So did her parents. He dhowered them all with costly gifts and talked of using his political pull to get Foerster a big pension. He could sce he was making fine progress in the hearts of the whole family. And at last he felt that the time had come for him to ask Char- lotte’s hand in marriage. Seiler had no fear that he woittt be refused. He Aa Old could see that the girl was very fond of him, and he Man's Love. ¢ was cortain he could fan that fondness into love. wn® Moreover, under Charlotte's influence, he felt strangely young and buoyant. His sixty years scemed to him to have fallen away to twenty-five. He was in love. Idlotically in love. One evening he went to the Foersters’ cottage for the night, sending in advance several kegs of the Rik wine that old Foerster liked best. Seller had resolved to call the family together in the morning and to make formal demands for Charlotte. He bad sent the wine to win still further the good will of his prospective father-in-law. The Judge was cordially received at the cottage and was thanked over and over again for the delictous wine. He was assigned to the little room usually occupied by Charlotte, and he fell asleep in happy thoughts of the morrow. Before dawn Judge Seller was awakened by the tossing of a handful of pebbles against the room’s one window. He stole out to solve the mystery, and confronted a tall and handsome young peasant, Karl Imnant, son of /@ forester, who lived in the next village. ‘At sight of Seiler the young fellow was dumfounded. But he stood his ground. Under the Judge's shrewd cross-examination Karl said he had crept to the cottage in hope of exchanging a few words with Chartotte. He said they had long loved each other, but as he was ~~-* door ho dared not ask old Foerster for the girl. The Judge's } Judge Seiler sald little. Presently he went back Sacrifice. to the bed, feeling very old and very lonely. His oraay / eer"? love dream was flown. He was awake now. He realised that youth and age are a million miles apart, and that they oan never be rightfully mated. Alone, there in the darkness of the little room, Judge Seiler reconstructed his life plan. In the morning be went straight to Foerster and said: “1 still have some influence with the Government. In two weeks Karl Imnant will be the Assistant Forester of the Grinderwald. I ask you to give your daughter Charlotte in marriage to this worthy suitor.” Nor would Seiler leave the cottage until Charlotte’s parents hadteol- emnly consented to her marriage to Karl. ‘The betrothal feast was made lively by the kegs of Rikever wine the Judge had sent to Foerster. But Seller himself did not grace the feast with his presence, To every one’s regret he was detained at home by @ eudden ilness.
