worry, bustle and excitement Of the
past ten days. 1t is long since the latter

His Empress is in bourgeoise seclusion
with her children III Kent. His yacht is
hove1ing off the cliffs Of Norway, but
the whereabouts of the young monarch
are jealously-g guarded secret that only

bet last week with society man of $3.50
that she would dance that night with
the Emperor at the state ball. The bet
caused al excitement among thesociety
people who learned OF it. Nobody
dreamed it was possible even for such a
beautiful Young woman to dance with
the Emperor on q bet. Next morning,
bright and early, Miss Tenant was
riding up Rotten Bow in Hyde Park at
furious rate. The glorious sight met
the Emperor's eye, and full staff On
horseback, including two officers who
knew her, joined the beautiful horse

then turned to the Emperor, muttered
her apologies and blushed. The young
monarch poured out compliments and
rode by her side for some time. Then
he raised his hat and bade her good by
and said he hoped he would 500 her at
the ball that night.
! Victory seemed secure. The swell
who had made the bet offered to COM
promise for one-half, but Miss Tenant
was so confident that she refused.
When the night came she attended the
ball. So did the Emperor. Vanitas

the O'Shea case further confirms the
opinion that he is perfectly reckless in
his methods, and that he elects to
