On the morrow Rita would be eighteen.
Valdez passed the day in state of
dazed illumination.
He refused to let his daughter come
down stairs to breakfast, TO: fear that
she would trip.
mo coffee, my DEAR" he said, ga
glass of lemonade is more wholesome.
Heavensw he shriekcd
"What is itl' asked the astonished
girl.
"Thcre is lemon seed in the glass"
said her father "You might have swal-
lowed it."
Rita laughed. 1t was such q tri1e,
she told her father.
But Valdez would have his way. He
poured out another glass, and examined
every particle OF food that came into the
room. He prohibited meat, because it
might produce fever.
He was just as particular about every
thing, and before the day was over Rita
grew so nervous that she did not much
care whether she lived or died.
Before night the windows were Sc
cureiy barred, the room was searched to
see that no assassin had concealed him
self, and finally at late hour Valdez
told his daughter that he was afraid to
give her any supper.
THE truth is" he said, 81 am afraid
of poison"
"May have a few bananas?" pleaded
the senorita.
Bananas" shouted her father. "Why
of course. They cannot hurt you. Yes,
you shall have whole bunch"
He gave his orders, and in few
minutes the tempting looking fruit was
brought into the room.
Valdez kissed his daughter, and
locked her in. He did not tell her of
his purpose but all night long he paced
the hall in his stocking feet with a pis-
tol in his hand.
The first climmcr OF dawn came
through the windows of the palace.
"Rita's eighteenth birthday" said the
happy father with a smiling face. "She
is safe, and what is more, she will be a
princossw
Gradually the servants began to stir,
and the bright sunshine bathed the walls
in flood of glory.
Senior Valdez quietly unlocked the
door to the well-guarded chamber, and
stole in on tip-toe.
In moment the widest shrieks and
cries rang through the palace.
The servants rushed to Ritas room,
and the unutterable horror of the sight
before them struck even the boldest
dumb.
Senior Valdez lay stretched on the
floor in dcath-like swoon.

For fights beam bright acros ~ wy
And door With Grape is cladt
Sadness and gladness e'er
Are jewellers side by side
Adear one on her bier,
And the wreathing Of bride
Bright eyes are filed with mirth,
Pale faces bend in prayer,
And hearts beside the CHEEKY hearth
Are crushed by stout despair!
All, sorrow and Joy and hope
Are parted by thinnest wall,
And only on hearts which never OPP
No ghostly shadows fall!
No thoughts of the funeral train
Come to the festive throngs;
No hope that joy will dawn again,
To stricken souls belongs.
The future is e'er sunny sea
To the children of joy and mirth;
But only the frost and its memory
Comes TO stricken ones Of earthi
Somebody's heart Is gay,
And somebody's heart issad,
For light beams bright across the

Sadness and gladness e'er
Crowd round us side by side;
A sunny smile and scalding tear,
So close they are allied!

dita told the truth"
Bits was presented at court, and even
the empress looked at her In delighted
admiration.
"Your daughter will be a princess
she whispered to Senior Valdez, who ut
that moment was looking at his gold
laced coat tails in a mirror.
"She has the noblest blood of old
Spain in her veins" replied Valdez
proudly.
THAT does not need to be said," an
swered the empress, taking the girl by
the hand and leading her to quiet cor
ner of the salon.
The Senorita Valdez had been educ at
ed by the best European tutors that her
father liberal offers could secure. She
was mistress Of every accomplishment
Carl otta made no secret of the fact tina
she liked her better than any Of the
ladies around her.
"She will be a princessr' old Valdez
would repeat hundred times a day.
The senior moved to the capital, and
established himself in palace. He
raised regiments for Macmillan, loaned
the government money, and lived on a
lavish and cxtravagant scale.
In his round of pleasure and excite
ment Valdez came near forgetting very
important matter. One night it came
upon him with shock.
"By all the saints!' he exclaimed,
leaping from his bed. 'In one week
from to-day Rita will be eighteen! What
did the old witch saya Her words all
depended upon an if. My daughter
will be princess, if. All, that i'll 1
must see to it at once. If any danger
threatens Rita it is during the present
week."
The senior hastily dressed himself and
ran into his daughters room.
Rita was sleeping quietly, ana her
face wore the glow of health.
Valdez examined the fastenings of the
windows, and then retired locking the
door and taking the key with him.
The next morning he told Rita of his
fears, and secured her consent to remain
indoors for several days.
awe must run no risk" the old man
said, as he stroked her head affection
ately.

Potato Ivory.

Potato ivory is a new transformation
for the lowly tubers. They are simply
treated with sulphuric acid, bathed in
it, boiled in it, and afterwards freed
from it. The result is hard white
substance easily worked and colored.
AS the supply Of tusks are limited, ana
the production of celluloid expensive,
this may prove a valuable industry

A BUNCH OF BANANAS.
By WALLACE P. REED.

"She will be princess, IT,
Juan Valdez leaned forward eagerly
10 hear what the wrinklcd old bag had
10 say.
The fortune-teller again scrutinized
the innocent baby face before her, and
looked at the pink little palm extended
In her brown, leathery hand.
'Shc will be a princess, if"
Again she paused with evident re-
luctancc.
"Speakr' commanded Senior Valdez
'Surely the power of your evil art has
not deserted you. If you can look into
the future, tell me what is to befall my
daughter, the last of her line"
. The fortune-tcller threw her head
back with proud air. She was very
old woman. There were people in San
Bias who remembered her when she
came to the village three score and ten
years before, and even then her hair
was gray and her face was wrinkled.
She claimed to be considerably over a
century old, and no one disputed her
ward.
"Senor, Valdez" said the brown
faced sibyl, turning her fierce black
eyes full upon him. II knew your
father, and his father before him. For
three generations / have been at the
cradle of every newborn babe in the
village I have foretold whatsoever
there was of good or evil in their lives.
Has any one ever said that PcrdIta made
mistake or made false predictions?"
'You misunderstood me, Perdita, A"
was the humble reply. at has unncrved
me to gain a daughter and lose wife,
all in one bittcr-swcct hour. Ny heart
is filed with mingled grief and JOY, and
i am impatient to know the future of my
last hope, the hclrcss of the most mag
nificent estate in Mexico. Will she live
or dief Will she bring JOY or sorrow to
my housed"
Perdita dropped the tiny hand of the
pretty child, and shaded her eyes with
her hand.
81 see, )" she murmured, "the proulest
beauty that ever brought our gallant
cavaliers to her feet. Her gifts of mind
and person are the wonder and delight
of her father and all who behold her.
Something tells me that she will be a
princess if she lives to see her 18th birth
day. My eyes have followed her through
her infancy and childhood, and down to
the night before her fateful day. Be
yond that l cannot see. / know that
she will be princess, if she is alive on
her 18th birthday. But know nothing
more"
Sorely puzzled, and uncertain whether
to he hopeful or respondent, Senior
Valdez gave Perdita purse of gold and
dismissed her.

A correspondent of the st. L0uh
Democrat thus describes Chefoo, Chi
nese watering place: "Chefoo lies 1.-The
north side of the promontory of Shau-
tung, that juts out between the Yellow
sea and the Gulf of Pechele, and it has
nearly the same latitude as Cape May.
The Chinese town of Chefoo, which
originally gave the name to the port, lies
on an island opposite the present foreign
settlement, miles enough away across
clear salt water for none of its ancient
odors to reach one. A bold, rocky
point, with residences perched all owe
its breezy top stands out from the low
shore, and the town lies back Of it and
stretches off along the level ground at.
either side. On one side of the head
land is the harbor, full of junks and
steamers, the landing piers, the custom
house and the business streets. On the
other is long, curving beach of yellow
sand with lazy surf pounding away in
lines of foam, and cottages and hotels
strung at intervals for two miles Back
of this water fringe of habitations there
are long barren slopes running up into.
quite mountain rage.
Nothing could ne more unlike an
American watering place than this re-
sort of North China, that is sometimes
called the Brighton and sometimes the
Long Branch of China Both of those
places would hold their sides at the alb
surdity of the comparison, as the only
point in common is the salt water roll
ing on a sandy beach. The dozen Of
hotels are small, and it is comforting
to American pride here, where every
thing il so absolutely and tyranically
English, that the best appointed and
best managed hotel should be kept by
an American woman, who has United
States flag of glorious proportions flying
from tall flagstaff in her courtyard.
The saltwater bathing goes on in the
most proper and decorus British way;
women in modest bathing suits that
cover them down to their ankles and
over their knuckles, slip into the water
from their lighthouses at one part of the
beach, and men in-we are not supposed
to know what sort of bathing suits, if any
splash away in their own reserved por-
ton of the beach at different hour.
Thus the everlasting British prophecies
are respected and preserved.
'Therc are no piazza concerts, no
board walk, no ocean drive and no
Casino for beauty and fashion to disport
itself and show its good clothes, and
from the point of view of an American
watering place, one might say that there
was no dressing at Chefoo. There are
no roads to drive on, no carriages to
drive in and no saddle horses to be hired
in Chefoo, so that by sedan-chairs or on
foot is the only way OF getting about.
All life is concentrated in the string Of
hotels and cottages along the beach.
Boating, of course, comes in for great
share of attention, and regattas are fire.
quent events. There is always foreign
man-of-war or two in harbor, and the
Chinese have large arsenal and naval
station at Weihai Bay, about forty miles
below"
