the sultan does not keep all his better
halves at one place, but distributes
them among his winter and summer
residences at Fee, Morocco, Tablet,
and so forth A sen of this very sui
tan, the Prince Muley Edris, not long
ago married an Italian goyerness, who
did not give up her religion, and who
stipulated that she should be the only
wife; and brother of the sultan, the
sheriff of Wezdan, has an English
wife, who, no doubt, was equally
determined to have her husband all to
herself.

preservation from pride, hatred, NAL
ice and all uncharitableness. And
LORNA knew as she walked home with
him that her brother was a different
man.
He did not attempt to get another
clerkship, but found situation as or
ganist, where his services were re-
quired frequently. Here, in the en-
ioyment of his glorious art, his mind
entirely recovered its tone-here, with
the wonderful sound of his organ,
he softened and soothed and strength
ened the hard, the weary and the
heavy-laden. Not in vain for the
world had Godfrey been through the
furnace of trouble.
Cecil Anslruther rejo1ced at the
change which he saw had come over
his friend, and rejoieed, toe, at Lor-
mas happiness. 1t was astonishing
how much time he had spent at the
Carews', considering that he had told
them he was busy finishing picture
for the Royal Academy, but he al
ways declared that a visit to them
helped him very much in his work.
The picture was accepted, and with
great in terest they looked for the first
newspaper critique. j.,
In the very opening column stood
the name. Una and the Lion =
Cecil Anstruther, declared as the
most beautiful and striking picture IN
the whole exhibition, and one that
would raise to the ranks of first rate
figure painter the young artist who had
earned some fame already as painter
of animals. Tho lion" continued the
critic. ''he doubtless met in his recent
travels in the East, but the Lady Una
is good and true and lovely English
maiden"
Come and be congratulated by
me and my family" wrote Godfrey
and Cecil obeyed the summons.
You must take us yourself to see
your picture, said LORNA.
Would you like me to do soa" he
replied. Then come with Godfrey
on Tuesday at o'clock, before the
rooms are crowded, and I will meet
you there"
So they went, and at the door met
the young artist. He led them on
until they came to his room, as tney
called it, and 'There it is" he
said.
LORNA looked, and before her saw a
perfect portrait of herself, with her
golden brown hair falling away over
her shoulders, standing in white robed
purity, with her hand on the lions
head.
She knew he had painted her be-
cause he loved her, and, in her
mingled JOY and trouble, put out her
hand to steady herself by her broth
er's arm, but somehow Cecil was there
instead.
He held her hand tightly, and bent
down, and my fair Una" he said
may | be your Red Cross Knight
for ever2"
The suddenness of it all had made
her dumb, and he got no answer then
from his lady's lips, but he read it IN
her eyes Notwithstanding, and it made
him very happy.

Frightful Fungus.
Eli Perkins

One of the most remarkable fungi
of which there is any record grew in
tn wine cellar of Sir Joseph Banks.
He received a cask of wine as gift,
and finding it too sweet had it locked
up in cellar to ripen. There it re,
manned for three years, probably dur
ing the time he was with Capt. Cook
in his voyage around the world. Al
the end of that period be directed biz
butler to ascertain the state of the
wine. but the cellar door could not be
opened on account of some power j
obstacle within. The door was cut
down, when the cellar was found to
be completely filed with fungus Sc
dense and firm as TO require an ak fer
its removal 1t was then discovered
that the fungus had consumed every
drop of wine and raised the empty
cask to the ceiling.
