origin, he was OF the pure race Of
consort princes, and like one of the
most iflustrfous of them, he had a
wife who thought he would have been
in his right place if fortune had only
permitted him to take hers. Christina

age of sixty-three. her junior by three

old woman. Her silvery hair, indeed
could grow no whittier, but her pierc-

still retained her curious smile, it was
somewhat changed in character, as
though in derision of the emptiness
of life. Rianzares may have been
worthy of the love of such a woman
but, like the rest of us, he was hardly
worthy of such woman's love- She
