said no. Just as the word escaped her
lips l purposely ran the sleigh over a
stump. Out we went; she to cool her
person in the snow, and to counter
act the damages she had given to my
affections. Her first words after get
ting in thesleigh were" Excuse me, sir,
wish to tell you to notice the stump"
Ny wife often refers to the sleigh ride,
but to this day she believes it was an
accident.

Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore; dispatches intimate that storm is
brewing in Spain, the Radical mem
bers of the Cortes advocating the
establishment of a Republic, while the
Carlists declare themselves in favor OF
Don Carlos as the rightful King. It is
a pity for the country that the honest
efforts ofyoungs Amadeus to bring or
der out of chaos are so i'll seconded
and it is a greater for himself that he
ever set foot on her volcanic soil.
