can desire. The articles vary in
character and treatment, are all inter-
esting and timely, and all well Illus
trated. Mr.. Croffut's article on the
late William II. Vanderbilt gives a
striking picture Of the career and
life of the greatest American Million
aire, and the reader can judge for
himself of the man, his palace, his
gallery, his stables and his tomb.
Mrs. Lew Wallace, the talented wife
. of our general and diplomatist, con-
tributes a very striking romance.
"a Fair Clients Story" The we'll
known novelist, Christian Reid, gives
one of her striking stories, ga Pass

correspondent Of the Cincinnati En-
quirer. 1t is a vast quadrangle Of

pecial plan (save in its interior), and
so immense that thevAshould build a
narrow guaye railroad for sight-seers.

people, yet You may pass through the
whole Of it and not see one.
1t was not its splendor which inter-
ested me the most. We had wander
ed for hours, until utterly wearied
with the grandeur and glitter of its
splendid rooms We were ushered into
a small apartment, 80 poor and simple
III its appointments that thought 1t,
with It's camp bed and wooden table, a
guard room. On the table lay a few
maps. across the bed an army cloak
AMI simple cooked hat" no curtain at
the window, no chair save a camp
stnp!. On the table lay folded a peck
ct handkerchief. and benling down L
saw, now faded aud nearly gone, the
name "NichOlas." In an instant all
weariness had vanished and interest
most intense took its pl4ce, for l knew

EInperor'S heart had broken, and
where, though he ruled al Russia, he
died utterly alone.

ed, refused utterly, but was told that
after such Il request from such a source
he must obey or lose his own life.
That settled it. He. was paid heavily
and sent Qua Of the kingdom. The
next morning The great Gar Nicholas
lay upon his camp bed, wrapped in his
cloak dead. and following soon after
the physician was found murdered in
his bed in heidelberg. They say the
bowling of the wolves from across the
