complaint lodged against one of his soldiers
once by poor farmer of the Orient who
claimed that the soldier had stolen one of
his red-cored watermelons. "Very well,
said his Nibs, 81 will ascertain if he stole
your melon"
So he pulled out his sword, and cutting
large aperture in the stomach OF the
offender he found the melon and few of
the black seeds which were easily identified.

melon?" asked the naughty monarch, wip-
ing his ready blade on his coattail.

The palace of the King is on the highest
part of the Athens of to-day. 1t is great
barracks-like building OF three stories COW
ering perhaps Two acres of ground and
facing the great square known as the Place
de la Constitution. Its material is pentelic
marble the same as that from which the old
Greeks made their statues and out Of which
the Parthenon was cut This marble has
turned through age to cream yellow, ana
the palace appears almost as old as DO the
tall pillars of the temple of Jupiter, which
look up at it from the valley below.
Behind and on both sides Of the palace
there is a large garden-like park, the trees
of which are covered with rose vines and
from which the sweet perfume of orange
flowers is continually waited into the win
dows of the palace. This garden covers
MANY acres. 1t has romantic walks and
shady glens, and there is pond within it
filled with the largest and most beautiful OF
calla lilies. Ii has beds of daisies which
grow like rose bushes so that single plants
have blossoms upon them making daisy
bouquets, each as large as bushel basket
Some parts of the garden are carpeted with
verbenas, Others are great beds OF red poppies
and roses as big as saucers look out rom the
branches o. the trees overhead. About the
palace and through these gardens are
stationed gorgeous soldiers whose dress is a
cross between that of ballet dancer and a
drum major. They strut jauntily about in
skirts reaching from their waists to their
thighs and formed OF dozens of folds of
white cotton. These skirts are sta'rched and
they stand out from the legs so that their
width at the bottom is from to II inches.
With knee breeches and leggins, with en-
broidered vests and red caps, they march
iiercely to and fro and guard composed of
them stands at the entrance doors of the
palace.
