very violent, hating the noble race into
which she had married.
When the Deadlocks were about to ride
out from Chesneywold in the kings cause
she is supposed to have stolen down to the
stables at dead Of night and famed their
horses, and the story is that once at such
an hour her husband saw her gliding down
and followed her into the stall where his
favorite horse stood. There he seized her
by the waist and in struggle as in fall,
or the horse being frightened and la8hing
out, she was famed in the hip, and from
that hour began to pine away.
She had been lady of handsome figure

A Historical Gold Casag.

A curious law suit over a gold cup.
which, though no larger than u good
sized cream pitcher, is worth $4,000,
is now pending in Paris. The treas
ure was presented by James |. to the
Duke Of CASTLE. Spanish Ambassador
to England in 1904, in return for dis
tinguished services 70 the crown. The
Duke was a pious man, and on his
death bequeathed the cup 10 ths Con-
vent of Medina de Pornar, near Bur
Cos. The deed accompanying the gift
stated the conditions on which it was
made, which were that, under no cir
cumstances, even with the consent of
the Pope, should this communion cup
be sold or even loaned, under the PEN
atty Of q right arising, in that case. to
his heirs to reclaim It from the convent

Spanish Beauties

The dress of the Sevilleans--especi-
ally of the wom6n-if somewhat less
picturesque than is found among their
cousins of the Orient, is far better
adapted for the exhibition of beauty
of form and feature. The ~ungraceful
wells with which the Mohammedan
MauresQue conceals all her beauty but
that of the dark, lustrous eyes. in the
Andalusian Maurcsque has been
e~therealized to a scarf of soft, clinging
lace, which encircling the face and
falling in graceful folds about the
throat and shoulders. only heightens
the beauty it may have once been in
tended to conceal. The plainest OF
countenances is softened and idealized
by this sort of veil; the beautiful be-
come bewitching. No shapeless jacket
and, baggy trousers and clumsy slip
pers hide or distort the exquisite
beauty of the 1.-the and slender forms,
the graceful droop of the shoulders,
the high-arched instep of the little
foot, or the supple grace of the carri-
age. The small feet of the Andalu-
sian, so much be-snug, are no 6gment
of the poets brain. 1t is one of the
first things q stranger observes, and is
particularly observablein the children.
whose dainty little feet seem scarcely
stanch enough to support the plump
little legs above them; and the shops
where children's shoes r sold n
might easily take for emporiums for
dolls outfits. Nor has the romancist
very much exceeded the limits of truth
in his rhapsodies On Andalusian
beauty. Plainness of feature, except
among the old and hard-worked. is the
exception. The beauty oSthe women,
il not of the highest type. is of a
very gratifyiaaauality; but the beauty
of the children seems something al
most miraculous.
