CHAPTER xLvI-yALERIE's CHOICE


It was very keen glance Max Beaure-
gard gave Valerie, and his hand closed
over hers with unconscious force as he babe
her good-morning. Thought he added,
gently, whether wil1fully or not, still keep
ing her hand in his, "you don't look as if
you had slept well, Fairy Queenp'
No, I did notr' she answered, trying to
speak carelessly, and failing, wishing, too,
that he would drop her hand, and yet glad
that he held it: ''but bad night now and
then does no harm"
Perhaps not-now and thenr' said Beau
regard, gravely. Then seeing the change
in her face, he added, quickly, Forgive
me, Fairy; suppose I ought not to have
said anything beyond the usual greeting.
Ny role of surgeon is over, your foot seems
quite wellI"
He released her hand as he spoke, and
turned away. Valerie answered him:
Eyes, feel as if could walk miles now:
and it was kind in you to say the Others
Kind in me: why?" He drew her to a
low chair, and sat down by her.
Rather. why not?"
''Kind to take any interest in you, is that
it?"
The girl shrugged her shoulders, and
like sudden flash that reckless look came
into her face. She laughed, and rose to
her feet
''Ohl I only spoke conventionalIy," she
said
Beauregard rose, too, turning deadly
white. A moment he paused; then he put
his hand on the girls shoulder, and turned
her with gentle force round to him.

plenty of practice among the blacks of

on several occasions seeing an old

her to be intelligent and quite spry,

Now here are two instances of

the conclusion she was about right.
Both women were active and in
good health, and bid fair to last at

sissippi squadron at the close of the
war, and the last saw of them they
were taking care of the house they
lived in and picaninnies of other negro
women that were toddling around.

Fresh Meat 5000 Years Old.

The preservatiye powers of cold on
flesh are strikingly illustrated by the
discovery, many years ago, of the car
cass of mammoth. or antediluvian
elephant, in vast mass of ice. That
it had been Embedded there during an
era of the worlds history long ante
cedent to the records of the human
race was positively proved by its diff
fering in many respects from the
elephants now existing on earth. while
its skeleton was precisely similar to
the fossil specimens which have been
found at various times in MANY coun-
tries. The ice melting away, exposed
the carcass, the flesh of which was
sweet and fresh, Notwithstanding the
immense period of time which must
have elapsed since the death of the
animal. The hungry bears of the dis
trict in which it was found devoured
the flesh, while quantities of the skin
and hair were distributed to different
museums of the world.

Professional Foreigners.

The man who comes here to make
his home and rear his family and who
is not content to be known as an
American citizen is not worthy of citi-
zenship in this free country. 1t is
cowardice and demagogy that cater to
a class vote. A man is entitled to no
special consideration because he was
not born in America. And the great
mass of foreign-born people believe
this. 1t is only the professional for
eigner who believes anything else, and
the professional foreigner, like the
professional temperance man G" any
other kind of professional agitator, is
humbug, unworthy of serious con-
sideration. 81 am an American
should be the proudest boast of every
man enjoying the citizenship in this
country.-NeW I0r6 Press.

did not mean what you said last. Come!
your hand again, we must not be other
than good friends now, when you are so
soon going; you know I must always have
an interest in you, Fairy Queen, for the
sake OF old times!''
His voice broke little; he turned away
abruptly, and stepped out onto the terrace;
but Valerie moved slowly across the room,
and sat down. She felt -suffocating;
but she would be better presently. The
old times.-the old happy times! if one
could only forget-only forgeti Obi the
curse Of memory, when to remember is but
TO be stretched on the rack.

came forward.
Are you busy, aunt?" she asked.
''No, my dear. Do you want me?"

She paused, leaning against cabinet a
couple of yards from where her aunt sat.
Mrs. Langley looked at the girl as she
stood, her hands behind her, her head a
little thrown back. The attitude was
gracefully nOnchalant, the face set like n
flint; there was a quiet consciousness of
power, which might be called calmness;
but Mrs. Langley saw and felt that the
girl was not inwardly calm. The woman

DEcAYINo ROYALTY.
The Kings OF Earth All Broken Up m
Going to Pieces.


What is the matter with the royalty
going to pieces. Dom Pedro of Brazil
has become almost chattering inn
beetle and a regent is talked of. Queen
Victoria is passing into decrepitude
and second childhood. and it is no SCI
cret that the Prince of Wales does not
expect to ascend the throne, believing
that ere it shall be vacant Great Britain
will have become republic. Emperor
William has one foot in the grave. and
the Kronprinz is battling with what
may prove an incurable disease. The
Gar of all the Russias has faced three
successive attempts at assassination in
the last six months. and contemplates
the probability-nay. almost certainty
that some one of the series still
awaiting him will prove fatal. His
eldest son and heir apparent is incom-
petent.
Francis Joseph. Emperor of Austria
and Hungary, is beloved and honored
by his subjects. But he is feeble old
man, and when he dies the bonds
which unite Austria and Hungary are
likely to snap asunder The Crown
Prince is very unpopular, and his
mother, the fearless horsewoman, EN-
press Elizabeth. is almost hated. Spain
has no sovereign. 1t is waiting for
clouted baby to grow up into Queen.
Servia does not know whether it has a
King or Queen or not. Queen Natalie.
Russian officers daughter, is in exile
| with the heir apparent. King Milan
has ordered that she be never allowed
to return. He himself is in Vienna,
and Ristics, the Prime Minister, is
lying awake nights bordering whether
he shall not order both King and
Queen to stay out of the country. and
he himself run the Government.
There is our friend ex-King Thee
baw of Burmah knocked out of his job
at Mandalay by General Pendergast
and some English soldiers. Then there
is Abdurrahman, poor vexed soul, who
can't for the life of him tell you to-day
whether he is Ameer of Afghanistan or
a mere English figure-head. Then. too,
there is the fat, economical old Queen
of the Netherlands, who has just
scandalized Amsterdam by revoking
her order for her gay dresses. lest the
sick King should die and she have to
wear black. Tho King of Corea has
asked to be allowed to quit. The
royalty of earth ia sick. and the sick
ness is unto death. - Cincinnati Post.
