She had a bow of yellow horn,
Like the old moon at early morn.
She had three arrows, strong and good,
Steel set in feathered cornell wood.
Like purest pearl her lett breast shone
Above her kirtle's emerald zone;
Her right hand was bound in silk well knit,
Lest her bowstrin.s should sever it.
Rip" lips she had. and clear grey eyes,
And hair, pure gold, blown holden, wise.
Across her face like shining mist
That with dawn's flush is family kissed.
Her limbs, how matched and round and fine:
How free, like song! How strong, like wine.
And, timid to music wild and sweet,
How swift her silver-sandalled feet!
Single of heart and strong of hand,
Wild-like she wandered through the land.
No man. or king, or lord, or churl-
Dared whisper love to that fair girl.
And wo to him who came upon
Her nude, at bath. like Acteon!
So dire his fate, that one who heard
The hutter of bathing bird
What time he crossed q breezy wood
Felt sudden quickening Of his blood,
Cast one shy look then ran away
Far through the green, thick groves of Nay,
Afeared lest. down the wind of spring,
He'd hear an arrow whispering.

A Legend Of the Iron Mask.

During the seventeen years confinement OF
this strange prisoner at Sainte Marguerite,
St. Mars, who brought him to the fortress,
was replaced by a Monsieur de Bonpart as
governor The daughter of the latter, just
emerging from childhood to womanhood,
grew up with this mystery around her. She
had seen the graceful figure of the masked
prisoner promenading at night upon the ter
race and at worship in the chapel, where he
was forbidden to speak or uncover his face,
the soldiers in attendance always having their
pieces pointed toward him, if he attempted to
do either. She discovered that her father
always treated him with the greatest respect,
serving him bareheaded and standing. His
table-service was of massive silver, his dress
of the richest velvet, he wore the finest linen
and most costly lace. She had heard her
father speak Of him as 1.-The Prince" No
wonder that his sad fate occupied her thoughts
by day and his noble figure her dreams by
night. She, too, was very young and beauti-
full and their eyes occasionally met in chapel.
He sang beautifully, and was q very skillful
performer on the guitar. 1t is said she
climbed the rocks under the castle terrace and
sang sweet songs to the poor captive. Thus
a romantic love sprang up between them, and
as it gained strength, the young girl dared to
purloin the keys from her father and so OBJ
tain access to the prisoner. When the gov
crnor discovered his child's treachery he was
struck with great dismay His oath was
binding upon him to put Immediately to death
any one who had spoken to the prisoner But
she confessed her love for him and pleaded
piteously for her young life. The captive,
also, to whom the governor was much at
tached, joined his prayers to hers and in,-
plored that they might be made man and
wife, and then the secre: would be safe. The
governor was not stern enough to immediate
his child, and perhaps gleam of ambition
may have flashed across his mind, as in the
event of the death of Louis XIV. the prisoner
would be acknowledged and his daughter sit
on the throne of France. However, their
nuptials were performed by the priest of the
castle in the dead of night, and all were sworn
to secrecy. From this union two children
were born. A whisper of this reaching the
ears OF the h1iu;e%~-, %Ao Marquis nf Imvois
the prisoner was Immediately removed to the
bastile for safe keeping; and the mother, the
priest and the governor disappeared. The
children were sent to Corsica to be brought
up in obscurity under the name of their grand
father, Bonpart, which was corrupted into
And thus, says the legend,
Providence avenged the wrongs of the twin
brother of Louis XIV. and restored the oldest
branch of the Bourbon line to the throne of

1T may be noted, as a striking sign of the
progress made in France towards cOnsolidat-
ing republican institutions, that the mint has
at last been ordered to use the design made by
Dupre, 1898. for the coins of the first Repub-
lie. Seventy-tive thousand fve-franc pieces,
and two million twenty-franc pieces are now
daily struck off, bearing on the diverse the
Winged Genius of France engraving on a

THE Chicago Inter- Ocean figures up the in
debtedness of Mexico to the United States as
$50, ,000, 900 for American property destroyed
by ''greasers," and American lives to the
value of $12, 500, 600 extinguished by the same
parties. This total of $62, ,000, ,00U the Inter-
Ocean thinks might be very easily paid by
deciding to the United States, Sonora, Chihua-
hua, Coahuilla, New Leon and few other
bits of territory north of the Rio Grande de
Santiago. The Louisville Cou15er-Jou,nal
says the people of Mexico would never con-
sent to any such territorial transfer.

ally. But he will not win" The old man
