both shott-lived. My wife is sickly
little woman, and has suffered consid-
erably. We have had five children,
three of whom died in their infancy;
the othe + two, a boy 4 years of age
and a g rl of 7 years, have always

my greatest anticipation. Myself,

my family, trouble us no more. Every

Trelawny's Spartan Endurance.

And then began an exhibition of en-
durance and will that must remind read
ers of scene that has hut lately closed
on the other side of the Atlantic. From
the first day he was wounded, Trelawny
determined to leave everything to nature.
Doctors were scarce in Greece, and able
ones did not exist at all, and the manned
man had more faith in his own constitu-
tion and the splendid mountain air than
in fifth-rate surgery. He had been hit
by two balls between the shoulders, one
wound being close to the spine. One of
the bullets found its way, by tortuous
avenue, into his mouth, and as he bent
his head, fell with several teeth to the
ground; the socket of the teeth was
broken and the right arm paralyzed. He
neither lay down nor quite sat down, but
against the rock, and there he remained
for twenty days. No portion of his dress
was removed; no extra covering worn.
He refused to be "bandaged, plastered,
poulticed, or even washed; nor would
move or allow any one to look at my
wound. was kept alive by yolks OF
eggs and water for twenty days; is was
forty days before there was any sensible
diminution of pain; l then submitted to
have my body sponged with spirits and
water, and my dress partially changed.
1 was reduced in weight from thirteen
stone to less than ten, and looked like
galvanized mummy"
1t is a wonderful record of more than
Spartan endurance. He next tells how
he attempted to take solid food and OF
the agony of moving his shattered jaw.
He tells with grim humor, how he re
fused all wishy-washy or spoon-food and
stuck to wild boar, which in turn
stuck to me; it spliced my bones and
healed my flesh" But his right arm
was still paralyzed, and after waiting
three months in all, and little progress
made, he determined to see surgeon,
for until the ball was extracted, the arm
would never regain its muscular force.
A Klephte surgeon was brought, and
was told that unless he cured the Eng
lishman he would be killed. Trelawny
barred his breast, the leech made an in.
incision with razor and began search
ing with finger and thumb for the ball.
But it was not to be found, and the
wounded man carried that bullet in his
body till his death. 1t may be mention
ed that the Greek surgeon was not called
upon to pay the penalty Of his failure,
much doubtle SO his surprise and de-
light Temple Bar.

and boys, should proceed to my room
and capture the villain, unless, being
supernatural, he had disappeared during
the absence of his intended victim.
We approached the room running; l
unlocked the door and entered.
| All seemed still.
The lamp was burning, and stood in
exactly the position in which 1 have
eft it.
At first we could hear no noise, and a
broad grin commenced to spread over the
faces of the assembled crowd whe n
bark! low and distinct snore broke the
silence of the room. There could be no
installing it now; there was some one
under that bed.
The landlord approached it; he looked
under; low chuckle escaped him; he
threw himself on the edge of tho couch
and shook with laughter; but as we
gazed upon him, thinking him a lunatic,
he half dragged, half induced from under
the bed by his large, curly tail, coal
black, finely built Newfoundland dog
1t seems that the noble animal, the
property Of our worthy host, had found
the way up to my room during the day.
As one of the servants, while cleaning
ont, had left the door open, the mystery
of his getting in was explained.
She had afterwards returned and lock-
ell the door again, never supposing for q
moment the dog was in the room.
After trying in vain to get out, he had
fallen in doze under the bed.
Mine host and his guests had of course
considerable merriment at my expense;
but they all agreed that they could not
blame me for being startled at the appar-
ent presence of a robber under my
downy couch.
Years have passed since then. but
cannot help thinking, occasionally, of my
night at the "King's Arms"
1t was quite while before my nerves
became settled again. 1 was in the habit
of looking under the bed in which 1 slept
for some time thereafter.
My moral is this
Before becoming seriously alarmed at
anything, make an investigation.

OF this, and, a. she was unable to 60 to
the king, she sent him . peremptory
order to put away his new wives at once.
King Theebaw replied that he was tired
of her majesty, inasmuch as she only
presented him with daughters, and that
he was determined TO free himself from
her control and to be . real king. Seven
or eight days were passed in angry mes-
sages, but ct the end OF that time the
queen left her apartments and went 70

"BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS
FROM THE GERMAN.

On the 14th of October, 1906. the
plateau to the northeast of the Thurin-
gian city of jena bore melancholy wit
ness to The brief, but bloody battle,
which opened the way for the triumphal
entry of the French army into Berlin,
eleven days later. Marshall Davoust,
''the butcher of Ham burg'-thus named
on account of his cruel treatment of that
city-had taken up his quarters in the
most comfortable house he could find
near the field of Jena, and here issued
his orders regarding the disposal of his
troops, and received the reports of bis
adjutants. He had just thrown aside
his cloak, and was about to retire to rest,
when one of his officers entered, to SUBJ
NIT to the Marshals consideration a case
demanding prompt attention.
''The German 'capaille' must, he said,
''be taught manners. Ten soldiers of q
certain company of the Fourth Infantry,
quartered in the village of Waldorf have
been turned out by the inhabitants, and
some of them badly wounded"
Davoust's cold eye lighted up, as he
curtly replied: "Send off lieutenant
with twenty men, and orders to choose
ten of these ruffians at Waldorf and shoot
them down" And the Marshal without
troubling himself more about the matter
went to sleep.
Next morning, at sunrise, Lieutenant
Lamotte, at the head of twenty men, set
out to seek the village of Waldorf. Hav.

an hour later the execution party entered
the village, and halted on an open space
near the church, where the inhabitants
we're desired to assemble. The soldiers
compelled the men to form aline, while

A TALE OF ROYALTY.

NJ. Florian Pharaoh tells an amusing
anecdote about King Hunbert, OF Italy,
who is as fond OF shooting as was his
royal father, Victor Emmanuel. From
time to time King Humbert, oblivious
OF all royal customs aud court Ell.
quette, separates himself from his suite,
and, gun in hand, goes out alone in
search Of game, accompanied by his two
favorite dogs. During one OF his ex-
cursions he was met by peasant, who
looked on with admiration at the havoc
the King had made among a eoyey OF
partridges. He did not know the Mon
arch, and seeing him in the dress OF an
ordinary sportsman could not recognize
him. He went up to him, compliment.
ed him on his skill with his gun, and
then told him that if he would come TO
his farm on the following morning at
daybreak and kill fox that had made
several raids on his hen roost, he would
not mind giving him couple OF francs
for his trouble.
King Humbert kept the appointment
and was fortunate enough to kill the
fox. The delighted peasant welcomed
him on his retnrn, called his wife and
children out, and insisted on the King
sharing their breakfast with them. At
the end of the repust Jhe peasant took
leave Of his visitor. pressing two-iranc
piece in his hand; which the King
tossed up in the AIR and caught, declar-
ing it was the fret money he had ever
earned. Two days afterwards the peas
ant was surprised to see an officer in
uniform ride up ia an open carriage
with presents from the King for his
wife and children. The peasant then
learned to whom he owed his obliga-
tion, and was confused at the familiar
manner in which he bad hobDobbed
