LONDON, November 1.-Count D'Heris-
son, in his book entitled "Le Prince I'm
perial." which has just been published, SAYS
that Lieutenant Carey, who was with the
unfortunate young Prince when he was
killed in Zululand, purposely abandoned
him in order that he might be slain. Ia
one chapter he saws:
Carey was not merely coward, but the agent
of political party which had an interest in
getting rid of the Prince. In politics there
exist no such things as justice and morality,
and assassination is no longer a crime but a
means of action. trust my readers know
what truth there is with regard to the pre-
tended suicides of the late Sultan Abdul Aziz.
the late King of Bavaria and the late Archduke
Rudolph. Moreover nothing can be more
probable than that Carey should have been the
instrument of political party.

how much he earned daily. "Three PEN

one Of them. have hard work TO get along,

What an honest fellow, thought the

and he tries to pay of an old debt. He gave
him gold piece and said: Here is some

your entire debt"
"Ah, good sir" said the man with tears
in his eyes, snow | can take sip OF beer,

rents, who assured him that daily they re-

1t was hot long before the man received
house, land, and cattle from the lord Of the
