The RlahtfuI King Of ENGLAND.

1t is curious fact, and one that is not
generally known, that King Victor
Emanuel was, by the strict law of sue
cession, the rightful king of England
He was descended in direct line from
Charles L. The youngest daughter of
that unhappy monarch, the Princess
Henrietta Maria, married CASTOR dor
leans, the brother of Louis XIV. She
died leaving two daughters. The eldest
became queen of Spain, and died child
less. The younger married the heir to
the house of Savoy, and was the ances-
tress of the late King of Italy. After
the revolution of 1888, when the right
to succession to the British throne was
settled by act of parliament, the house
of Savoy was excluded on account of the
Catholic religion professed by its men,
bers. The house of Hanover, of which
Queen Victoria is the representatives. was
several removes farther from the direct
succession, deriving, AS it did, its claims
from James l., through Queen Elizabeth
of Bohemia, and her daughter, the
Electress Sophia. A striking commen-
tary on the consequences of human ac-
tions is afforded by the story of royal
inheritance. When King Charles /. es-
poused q Catholic princess he could
scarcely have imagined that by this act

CHAPTER V.

CHAPTER V.
When Marion awoke the next morning
it was broad day. She looked toward her
sisters bed. 1t was vacant. In sore
alarm she arose, dressed herself hastily,
and sought Lsette in the house. NJ
trace OF her sister was to be found
Where could she be Why had she got
up and gone out stealthily9
She went into the garden, and opening
he gate, looked along the road. No fig
ure was in view either on road or moor.
The clouds which obscured the heavens
last night had fioated away, and the morn
ing sun blazed high in the east, flooding
the level landscape with glory. Ployers
called TO one another, flies in brilliant
mail buzzed and flashed hther and thiIh-
er, the two placid ceits OF water reach
ing away toward the sun seemed like dis
carded swords of gigantic nature lying
peacefully out OF use.
But where was Lisette?
Marion stood and listened. Presently
she thought she heard sobs proceeding
from an atbor beside the house She lis
tened again. There was no doubt some
one; Llsette was sobbing in that arbor.
Oh, poor broken-hearted Lisette Poor
afflicted sister,
She FASTENED toward the arbor As she
approached there were sounds of move
lnents. and. ere she gained the threshold,
IA pale, dark-eS ed girl came to the entrance
aud beckoned to Marion. The latter
stretched out her hands, and cried AS she
drew near:
