I could, I felt that everyone was

Among the early followers of Wil-

That was a period when Europe was
In continual warfare, the main causes
being the issues between the two re-
ligious divisions. Catholics and lYotes-
tants. In one of these wars tlie capltol
of one of the principal German states
was Invested by the emperor, who rep-
resented the Catholic party. The
burghers awaited the enemy's attack
behind their breastworks, knowing that
their existence both as individuals and
aa a people depended on their success
ful defense, for in those days it was
not uncommon on capturing a city to
PBt the Inhabitants to'tbe sword.
As soon as the advancing force came
within striking distance the besieged
poured a terrible fire In their faces, but
without tho effect of arresting their 011
ward march. Moving on to the very
ramparts, they carried them at the
point of their pikes The leader of the
defenders was killed, and all seemed
tost when a young ofBcer, grasping a
flag that lay on the ground beside the
dead body of the man who bad borne
It and raising It aloft, cried out to bis
comrades to meet desth like men, since
they must die. and not wslt to be
butchered. The effect was magical.
Forming as beat they could at tout their
new leader, they dashed forward with
the fury of despair. The enemy, who
were climbing over tbe breastworks,
were checked, then recoiliug gave way
and clambered back over the walls and
fled down the declivity.
The city was saved. But there was a
damiier on tbe rejoicings. The young
officer who had turned the tide, who
had given the people their lives, had
fallen desperately wounded. lie was
put on a stretcher and carried to a
hospital, where the doctors did what
they could to save him. This was not
much; the question of bis life lay with
nature. He wus so far gone as to tie
unconscious, and they flnully left him.
expecting that he would soou die.
Meanwhile the city was ringing with
the sufferer's praise, aud as the sur-
geons went out they were besieged
with anxious inquiries regarding him.
Io which they could only respond with-
out comfort. The unconscious hero lay
in a stupor for hours, then groaned and
opened his eyes. Near him sat 1
young girl who was evidently a nurse.
"Ia the city savedV he cried, with as
much vigor as be could command.
"It la. and you are considered Its
savior."
Tbe mau closed bis eye* again and
fell hack Into unconaclousness.
Six weeks later a ceremony waa held
at the palace. The sovereign gave an
andlence to the hero, who had recov-
ered, at which a gold medal waa to he
presented him on one side of which

the prince wsa about to bestow tbe
honor the girl who had nursed the sol

tiehlnd the tbroue and aald:
"fire, I ask tbe honor of pinning tbia
medal on our hero's breast."
"It Is granted." replied the prince.
"You havetieen one of the most faith-
ful of those ladles of our court who
volunteered to nurse our soldiers "
As the girl sttsched tbe decoration
It was plain to all present who saw the
lovelight In the eyes of both her and
the soldier that they were lovers. The
young man by virtue of his heroism
