"Seit jenem Tage wo ich zum ersten Male in deinen schönen Augen geblickt habe, habe ich dich grenzenlos geliebt." "I'm sorry I can understand nothing but English," I say, turning to see if I can catch a glimpse of Mrs. Steele. "Señorita!" The Peruvian holds my finger tips fast to the rail with a hand that trembles a little.
"If you come about such a business, with good recommendations from my customers, I talk with you. Otherwise not." "I'll talk any place you say," consented Johnny. "Where do you lunch?" "At August Schoppenvoll's," replied Mr. Ersten with no hint of an intention to disclose where August Schoppenvoll's place might be. "At lunch-time I talk no business; I eat."
And he reluctantly paused long enough to drink some of the wine which Carrie's husband helped to make. It was probably good wine. Ersten was in the cutting room when Johnny again arrived at the store, and a clerk took his name up very dubiously. The clerk returned, smiling with extreme graciousness, and informed the caller that he was to walk straight back.
While Heinrich Schnitt was back in the cutting room, carefully selecting every coat in the shop to take home with him, Ersten drew Johnny near the door. "I fool him!" he announced with grinning cuteness. "I move right away. You get my lease for the best price what that smart-Aleck Lofty offered me. And another word: Whenever you want a favor you come to me!"
Ersten took his apron and the tape and threw them on a table with a slam. "I invite you to have a glass of Rheinthranen," he offered. "Thanks," returned Johnny carelessly, not quite appreciating the priceless honor. "I'll have Mr. Schnitt here in an hour, but you must be careful what you say to him. He is stubborn." "Sure, I know it," impetuously agreed Ersten. "He is an old assel.
"Always we walk," he grumbled, but he climbed in. When they were started for the terminal Ersten leaned forward, with his bushy brows lowering, and glared Close sternly in the eye. "I will not sell the lease!" he avowed before a word had been spoken. "We know that," admitted Close; "but why?" Ersten hesitated a moment.
LUTHER AND LUTHERANISM. Of innumerable biographies of Luther the best from sympathetic Protestant pens are: Julius Koestlin, Life of Luther, trans. and abridged from the German ; T. M. Lindsay, Luther and the German Reformation ; A. C. McGiffert, Martin Luther, the Man and his Work ; Preserved Smith, The Life and Letters of Martin Luther ; Charles Beard, Martin Luther and the Reformation in Germany until the Close of the Diet of Worms . A remarkable arraignment of Luther is the work of the eminent Catholic historian, F. H. S. Denifle, Luther und Luthertum in der ersten Entwickelung, 3 vols.
"You won't like that any better than Ersten," commented Johnny. "I think I'll have to make another guess for you." "I like your work," replied Lofty with a smile. "Let's hear it." "All right. I guess I'll buy Ersten's lease for you." "You'll have to find another answer, I'm afraid," Lofty hopelessly stated.
What is to be said?" Johnny could feel the nervous tension of the room lighten as Ersten walked out with him. "It will be like this," Johnny explained: "Schnitt will come in with me and say: 'I have come back to work." "In this place?" demanded Ersten. "Ask him that. He will say: 'Yes." "Will he?" cried Ersten, unable to believe his ears. "That's what he will say but he won't do it."
"Lofty's couldn't move and Ersten wouldn't," supplemented Constance. "Not that Dutchman!" returned Polly, laughing again as she peered into the low dark windows of the ladies' tailoring shop. "I was in the other day, and he told me three times that he would be right there to make my walking frocks for the next thirteen years." "He was having a quarrel with Mr.
