THE PRICE OF HAPPINESS.

The Breton carriage had passed the last
house in the village, when Philip leaned out
for one last look at the home of his childhood
and the scene Of the only work he should ever
do. He was almost q boy yet; it seemed
only a few days since he had looked at the
great world only as a play ground. 1t was q
his manhood. and even thai had been con-
demned. Dear old mills, with their bold
towers and massive walls, but his no longer.
His heritage was sold, his birthright lost. He
turned his eyes away; it was more than he
could bear. Tn the hill back above the vii
lage be saw for the last time, as the road
wound of toward Lockout, his house, that
was. Deserted seemed written on its stone
walls. 1t had never looked 50 noble to him,
a sort of halo seemed to f1oat above it. He
could see the window of the room where he
was born, but for what a worthless life.
"Good-by,n he murmured. The road as it
ollowed the winding river made another
turn, and the lights Of the village were shut
away from his misty eyea
The horses were trutting e their ba&
There was none too much time.
1t was far better than he had hoped. Tho
dangers bad gathered 10 thickly, there had
seemed at one time hardly more than q chance
for escape. Peril seemed on every hand,
enemies to spring from every covert, and
stretch out their hands to stop the fugitives.
But the village was far behind now. A few
moments more and the steaming horses would
draw up at the Lockout station, and they
would be whirled away faster than any pur-
suer to peace and safety and honor.
How odd it all is, setting out in this way
as If we were eloping."

A Queens Ambition disappointed.

1t is now twenty years since the curtain
was rung down on the bloody drama which
the lmperialist party played On Mexican
soil, and what Is the impartial verdict Of
the men and women who knew the inside
history of Maximilian's reign! I have
talked with several of the leading person
ages who played q part In the sad business,
and they were among those near to the
emperor during his whole stay In Mexico.
They agree on one point, and that n that
Macmillan was inadequate to the situa-
ton; that he was vascillating where Car
lOtta was firm; that he was swayed hither
and thither, and accepted the advice Of
the last man who caught his ear, while
Carlotta used men and events with mas
culine strength and was, behind all, the
guiding and animatinS spirit.
She, the daughter Of the king Of the
Belgians, had the heart Of q soldier and
the head of u statesman. It was her
dream to wear an imperial crown, and 1t
was the loss Of her crown, and not the
reason. Disappointed ambition, and not
a shock to her affections, made q mad
woman of her. Her intimates here say
that there was no love lost between her
imperial husband and herself. Theirs
was a marriage of state and dictated by
10 sentiment beyond and above that Of
governmental policy. She was ardent,
ambitious, a woman of large projects; he
was better fitted for the elegant life Of a
scholarly prince. and was unsuited to the
tempest of wal and the clash Of arms
