""she is very beautiful" replied the
Duke.

II shall give her all Ethiopia" re-
piled the Duke. =
II will-aw step down, and-aw-
look at it," murmured the Prince,
carelessly. "By surprise, you know"
This vas agreed upon, and the
Duke departed.
The Prince knew his worth he
was quite white, and he was not
troubled with the slightest particle Of
q caudal appendage, but Ethiopia was
a.big prize and he resolved to win it.
One week after the Duke had offer
ed his daughter, the. Prince started for
3senegambia with the intention Of
looking at the fair face Of Lady
Adeliza.
: CHAPTER III.
The Prince was wandering through
the woods of senegambia; gaily hum

when his eyes fell upon q lovely
chimpanzee, sittingi in ashallow brook,
sucking q cocoanut. She was the
loveliest creature he had ever seen.

slid off on her left ear. =: .
"Adeliza," sighed the Prince; "thou

The Lady Adeliza threw the re-
mains Of her cocoanut at the head of
a chimpanzee who was loa6ng in a
neighboring tree, fell into the arms
Of the Prince, and gently murmured,
Il am all thine
They we're married in great splen-
dor. The Right Rev. Bishop Baboon,
assisted by the Rev.. simiadar Ape,
performed the ceremony. The choir
sang that lovely anthem, Monkey
married the baboon's sister," Lady
Adeliza and her parents rubbed nos
es and then the bride started on her
tour on an elephant with one trunk.
CHAPTER ~.
Theseasons changed summer lapsed
into autumn; .aatuilnn into winter, and
winter into spring. Then there was
great rejoicing, for the Lady Adeliza
gave the Prince an heir. The. child,
however, was an anomaly in that reg
ion it had no tail, it had flat feet, it
had a white skin, it had no hair on
its body. All the wise men examin-
ed it. It was not an ourang-outang,
it was not a chimpanzee evidently it
was q new species. Then family
conclave was called.
"What shall We call it" asked
everybody.
The Duchess de Chimpanzee, who
was languidly making mud pies,
said:

WHAT SOME EMINENT MEN SAY OF
ssST. NICHOLAS"

"Itis little tosay of St. Nicholasthat
it is the best child's periodical in the
world, and I think the editor has
great reason to congratulate herself
upon it."-Joh,s G. Whittier
"St. Nicholas, without and within,
is household charm, and certainly
surpasses any Children's Yearbook,
English or American, that I have
ever seen.-Edm,.nd Clarence &ed-
man.
"Never before, I think, has as much
literary and artistic talent co-operated
in the. service Of children, and I
will not resist the hearty impulse to
say to you that you have made the
best magazine for children Of all ages
that have ever seen. I do not see
how it can be made any better, and If
the children don't like it, T think it
is time to begin to change the kind ,f

CHAPTERfv.
Perhaps of all the young people of Dresden,
Ella Egcrton was the least affected by thu
new corners, she was not one that cared mucl
for society finding her greatest enjoyment
in the society of few intimate friends with
whom she could have unrestrained intercourse.
Her parents, uncle Lawrence, Lima Ashleigll,
and Ellis Lelau, supplied this want. Supreme
y happy in what she considered the sim
cere attachment of these, she had no envious
thoughts to bestow on the gay cayalcade that
frequently swept past her dwelling, and 1t
was with equal calmness of mind, that she
observed their decided inclination to shun
any intercourse, not only with the people in gen.
eral, but herself in particular
1t was also matter of equal indifference
when Ellis Lelan informed her of the honor
that had been extended to her to join their
especial party on the day of the picnic. She
supposed this sudden desire for intimacy was
but a freak of the moment, aud would in all
probability ehd with the day. She had no
idea there was any especial Importance at
tached to it.
The day appointed was very lovely one ;
balmy and serene, with just enough of a
breezy freshness to keep it from being too
warm. Ella arose in time to watch the sun
come peepng over the hills, and leaning from
the window she decided, from the blue and
gold Of the shy and the heavy dew npon the
grass that it would be charming day.
She felt very happy as she stood before her
mirror, brushing out her soft brown hair, and
twinng it in curls over her finger
She dearly loved a ramble in the wildwood,
and promised herself one that day with Ellis
and Lima When Lima informed her Of the
invitation she had received, she did not men,
ton either Luella Manesford 0f Mr. Eaton,
simply SAYING she had been invited by Grace
Allison and Ella supposed of course she
would 20 in company with her and Ellis. She
had not seen much of him for few days
past, as he was one of the committee to make
arrangements for the picnic, his time had
been very much occupied. He was there a
few moments the evening before, and told her
that he would call for her early that morning,
and they would have drive before the hour
for meeting A soft blush suffused her cheek
as she recalled his ifiaunor at parting, and her
mind went wandering over the future in happy
thoughts.
Young as she was she knew that there was
deceit and treachery, and false friends in the
gay world of society but she dreamed not
that she would find them in the bower of love
in which she fondly believed herself sheltered.

Yes, replied Luella. Doyou know Miss
Egerton that Ne have been searching all a.
round for you. And now that yon are safe
will beg to be excused. suppose Ellis is
waiting impatiently for me and with play
full bow she trippcd away saying g cant be
with you any moro until after dinner"
Mr.. Dayton produced cards, and proposed
a gamo Of whist but as Ella declined playing
they changed II to cuchre. II will take cous-
in Ned for my partner" said Grace looking
archly at Lima. II Will give you Mr.. Day

perhaps you would not rlay well together j;

Ned acknowledged the justice of the re-
mark, at the same time reminding her that
persons in her precarious situation, had better
not throw stones at their neighbors windows.
After few other repartees the game COM
menced and continued until the bell rang for
dinner.
Several times during the interval Ella had
seen Ellis eisierge from the group around the
table as though coming toward them, but he
was almost Immediately called back by some
one. But now he came up with Luella. Ella
was conscious that all eyes were upon her as
he addressed her. but there was nothing in
her quiet smile and graceful bow, to satisfy
their curiosity with regard tc her feelings.
"May hove the pleasure of escorting you
to dinner, he asked. Before she could reply,
Ned Eaton sprang up, and offering an arm to
Ella and Lima said {" am sorry to disap-
point you but have already the promise Of
that pleasure Ella wanted to ask him
when he had obtained sutii d promise as he
had no recollection Of having given it but
fearing it would show too plainly her feelings
