 Nov, you come right along with me :"
 But she gave him shove that knocked him up against the wall, and swinging a stove spoon over her head, said:
 "Get out of here, you superannuated old frog sticker. Shove yourself out of here, or I'll use you as a mop towipe up the floor with.'
 For the first time in his life, perhaps, General Haller had to beat hasty retre at, and foaming with rage he imparted 10 the king the result of his interview.
 King Maximillian began to be angry himself now, but just at this moment the door opened, and the landlady, followed by boy bearing beautifully cooked fish on.a a plate, entered.
 The king had expected to see an old virago, hence he was surprised to see a young, handsome woman, dressed in the becoming peasant costume of the neigh borhood, with jaunty cap ard tassel on the side of her head. She was not in the least bashful. but walking right up to his majesty, and looking him straight in the face with her handsome brown eyes, said heartily
 Welcome, your majesty" and at the same time shaking his hand heartily, al- though he made faint endeavor to re. sent the familiarity.
 You are little late in paying your respects" remarked the king, somewhat piqued.
 If had come sooner would have spoiled the fish and you would not have liked that either, suppose ; but sit down and try them," and she gently forced the king down into large arm chair, which she pushed up :o the table.
 General Haller, who was still boiling with rage, refused to sit down until she had spologized to him.
 "Apologize !" she exclaimed, ~ think you had better apologize for pinching me in the arm. It is lucky for you that was busy, or would have taught you lesson in politeness."
 The king was so full of laughter that General Raller was obliged to swallow his wrath. The landlady took seat op- posite to the king, and showed that she could be amiable as well as candid, and the meal passed over to the satisfaction of everybody present. When the king returned to hi; equipage, the handsome daughter of the landlady called her moth- CTS attention to roll of money the king had left on the table. Quick as lightning she rushed back into the room, and soon appeared with the roll of money, which she forced into the kings hand.
 |" 1 want your majesty to understand that we are not beggars, and that it is not going to cause us to make an assign. ment because we entertained the king for single meal. It's nothing worth talking about, s" please keep your money, your majesty"
 But can't eat your fish and drink your beer, and not pay for it," exclaimed the king.
 Humbug," said the landlady. Don't you do that all the timer Who supports your majesty and his court, and all the loafers around it, but the taxpayers? All we work for is to support you in idle. ness"
 "Great heavens P exclaimed the king to the driver. Drive on, or there is no telling what we may not hear"
 The king, however, leaned over the side of the carriage, and said:
 "My good woman, just take this money and make your daughter present of it when she gets married, and when she comes to the city"
 "Comes to the city2" exclaimed the landlady. "l would like to see her go- ing to your Sodom and Gomorrah. A decent country girl cannot be there ten minutes before some of these court off, cials, dressed up like monkeys, are chas- ing around after her. Not much she don't go to the city, if know myself. want her te stay among respectable peo- ple."
 "For Gods sake, whip up the horses" exclaimed the king, and the carriage rolled of.
