Surrounded by her women the Prin-
cess Bru. looking heavy eyed and weary,
reclined upon a divan- Two days and
nights her tears had flowed and the
beauty Of her face WAS married. She re-
allied that her lover had no chance Of
escape, and the thought of the dreary
life before her well nigh drove her mad

cannot let you die"
Her women regretted her sad fate, and
in gentle ways offered her what consola-
ton lay in their power. Bat they made
no impression on her bruised and bleed
ing heart. Their task was fruitless be-
cause the emperor, distrustful Of himself,
refused to see his child, or let her plead
her lovers cause in any way whatever.
AS Bru reclined that morning listless-
ly upon her couch, and watched the sum
beams chase the brilliant colors on the
rugs, her face wore hopeless look. as
though she had played her last coin on
the black and the red had won. At last
came forward one of her damsels and
stood near the couch.
Weep not. fair princess" first she
said, turning kindly eyes upon the em-
peror's child. There yet may be way

coldly, though with some surprise. "De-

hopes.
"Have you not heard" continued the
maiden unabashed, ''of wise old wo-

miles from here, and watches from her

"We catch at straws who drown, y
exclaimed the Princess Bru. "Send
straight for this old crone And tell the
messenger to ride right hard and bring
her back at once"
The day wore on to night, the night
to day, and still the princess, sleepless
as before, awaited eagerly the coming Of
the dame. The sun arose and shone in
splendor on city plunged in gloom.
For the people loved Hamassar, and felt
that his doom was hard. In vain they

child. The banquet room presented Il
glorious scene. About the table were
gathered tho statesmen, poets, merchants

was worthy Of their rank. Stern men OF

men learned in the law conversed polite

were glad to see the viands and the wines

Ra1nek ceased, and as his voice in
jeering echoes died away shudder
passed over tho assemblage. For his
words, though harsh. were wise, and all
who heard them knew the prince must
die The Princess Bru sobbed painfully
and the emperor's face was grave. He
found himself in strange dilemma. He
might save the prince by cutting of his
nose and beheading the Princess Bru,
but. with his daughter dead, Hamassar
could not be his son-in-law. On the
other hand, if he killed Hamassar Of
course he could not we'd him to his
daughter. Whichever way he played
the game he lost.
The throng before him, deeply moved,
seemed to gaze up at him in pity, and
the silence in the hail proved that bis
subjects felt deeply the misfortune Of
their king After time he spoke.
"This is weighty matter" he said

CHAPTER uI.

In solemn council the highest court
was met. The emperor, looking old and
worn, gazed down upon a vast. impatient
throng, while near him his weeping
daughter sought in vain to find Hamassar
through her tears The audience hall
was packed. for Hamassar's case had made
great noise, and from the distant corners
of the land the people came to hear his
fate Perhaps they all had hopes that if
the emperor gave him pardon the harsh
decree would be revoked, and once again
their nimble tongues might chatter of
themselves. Men from the mountains
and men from the plains, quiet villagers
and noisy herdsmen, mobiles high in rank
and beggars from the streets jostled each
other in the shadow Of the throne. Never
before had so large crowd attended a
session of the court
The Princess Bru was a handsome
woman, dark haired, dark eyed and tall.
Her face. clean cut, was somewhat
proud, but her smile, though sad today,
told of kindly heart All hearts went
out to her as she dried her tears and
looked about her nervously. Poor
child" the women said, and the men
felt that Prince Hamassar had full ex-
case for having lost his heart, whatever
might yet happen to his head.
Ramek alone of all that vast assers-
blage felt savage satisfaction at the
plight Of the woman he thought he
loved. The sorrow in her face testified
that Hamassar had her heart. and Ramek
rejoiced that he had made her suffer.
His evil face wore bitter smile as he
looked about him and saw in the eyes of
all naught but love and pity for the girl.
At length Hamassar. closely guarded
and with his wrists enchanted. was led
before the throne. He had grown old in
a night. His head he carried proudly.
and when he made obeisance to the king

the strangers friends to him at once.
There was silence for a time. Then
slowly the emperor arose and in voice
of sorrow said
'Hamassar, erstwhile prince and our
prospective son, you are charged with
disohedianca of onr- viii Opr late 1s-
cree, It's said, your foolish tongue mas
boldly held as naught. II this De rrue
your head is forfeit to the state"
A great sigh, as though the wind muir
INJURED in forest, arose from the crowd,
and the princess. broken hearted, sobbed
aloud.
Then one by one the guests at the
princes feast told in subdued tones the
story of his fall; how he had boosted Of
his bride and dubbed his nose unrivaled.
AS witness after witness wove about the
neck OF the accused chain of iron the
thin face Of Ramek shone with demoniac
joy. while the emperor's countenance
grew constantly more grave. The
maidens surrounding the Princess Bru
famed her constantly, as though in fear
that she would faint. Hamassar kept
his eyes upon the floor and seemed de-
termined to conquer all emotion.
At length sufficient testimony had
been laid before the king to establish
the guilt Of the accused. The crowd.

The pacific utterances Of the German chan

and the Russian representative now in Italy

The Methodist ecumenical council in its
many interesting debates has not reached
higher mark than it did yesterday in discussing
the subject Of education Some of the papers
read exhibited fine ability and large informa-
ton II was but natural that most Of the dis
cussion should proceed from members outside
Of the United States and that some of the most
excellent suggestions should have been made
by British colonists, if those can be SO re-
garded who have so nearly attained complete
political independence. To the mind of the
American the topic of education means so much
more than il does to any other people that
Americans in q world council held in their own

The near approach to fatality ,ha. resulted

The near approach to fatality that resulted
from the falling near Thomas Circle, yesterday.
OF two telegraph poles, dragging with them a
network Of wires, is a warning, following other
warnings TO which The STAR has called atten.
ton many timos, against the entire system OF
overhead wires in a city. II this menace to
public safety is not to be abolished at once pre-
cautions should at least be taken to prevent
such accidents as that Of yesterday. There
ought to be an inspection Of the poles, and an
inspection that inspects- AL rotten or imper-
feet poles should be removed at once, and
those that are sound should not remain much
longer to obstruct, disfgure and cndanger our

The election is less than three weeks off and
neither of the great parties feels in any way
confident. 1t is not Ear from right to say that
the whole contest is still to be won or lost. The
indications on the su-face--not always to be
relied upon-are that the democrats are slightly
more hopeful than they were o few days ago.
But bad break in the city OF New York, re-
publican reunion in Massachusetts,, a vigorous
campaign in Pennsylvania by the republicans
failure Of the third party in Ohio, may upset
completely the entire democratic calculation.
Nothing is more llusory than the phases of q
political campaign. 1t is always possible to re-
pair small losses and it is easy to overrate tran
silent difficulties. The democrats depend on
union in New York. but the county faction is
yet to be made satisfied with its place in the
procession In Massachusetts, and Pennsyl-
vania all the republicans have to do is to arouse
from lethargy. In the former state they are
led by young men just as their rivals are, ana,
with more than an equal chance to carry the
state. if they do not capture it in a year pre-
ceding presidential election they may well be
discouraged
