Her Friendships with the eminent
women Of her kingdom were constant
and sincere, and her interest in the
welfare OF young girls was attested by
the devotion OF large portion Of her
revenue to the training and lowering
which would prevent their falling VIC

In her own family. finding herself en-
barrassed by lack OF education, she
studied Latin with her daughters. Bhe
superintendent, personally, the sduca-
ton of her son, directing his exercises
in the manual requirements of knight
hood. She instituted contests in needle
work among her daughters and
the court ladies, where the little prin-
cess whom we know as the sorrowful
Catharine Of Aragon carried oil the
prizes.
On the other hand, she traversed her
kingdom with n network of admirably
planned highways, and patrolled the
land on every public thoroughfare
with an organized brotherhood Of
knights and gentlemen TO rid the king
dom from the lawlessness of brigands,
the scourge Of her reign.
With her own private friends she or

with nurses and conveniences for the
care of the sick and wounded. This
was called the Queens hospital and
was the first ambulance corps in history.
Like Margaret of Italy, the young
queen with the red-gold hair walked the
wards of plngue-stricken hospitals to
comfort the living and pray with the
dying. Magnifcently attired in public,
her private tastes were modest TO de-
gree; and recklessly generous in her
OUTLAWS for public works, for charity
and religion, and for improvements in
her kingdom, the private expenses Of
her palace were managed by her with
model thrift and economy, and even on
her deathbed she left orders to the
minutest detail for the payment OF
small debts and accounts, easily over

CHAPTER Xxx.

Our next Job was 20 man tho port
braces and bring the ship TO n westerly
course. But before We went to this
work tho boatswain and l stood for
some minutes looking at the appear
unce Of tho sky.
The range OF cloud, which had been
but low-lying and apparently fugi-
tive bank In tho northwest at mid
night, was now so far advanced us to
project nearly over our heads; and
what rendered Its aspect more sinister
was tho steely color Of the sky, which
It ruled with line, here and there
rugged, out for tho most part singu-
larry ven, right from the confines of
tho northeastern to the limits OF the
southwestern horizon. All the central
portion Of this vast surface of cloud
WAS Of liyid hue, which, by u decep.
ton Of :Le eye made IL appear con-
vexi and ut frequent int, ais sharp
shower of arrowy Lightning whizzod
from that portion of II farthest away
from MS; but Us yet We could hear no
thunder.
The approaching tempest had taken
all night to climb the horizon, but
was not to bo deceived by its slow
progress into believing there was no
wind in it. knew from It's appear
ance that IL would bring with It "A tre-
mend US gale and that there would DO
nothing TO do but TO run before ".
This would br g us well into the mid

Having broood up tho yards and
steadied he helm, we could do no
more; and. resolving TO profit as much
rs possible from the interval Of rest be-
fore us, directed Cornish to take tho
wheel, and ordered the steward TO 90
forward and light the galley fire and
boil some coflee for breakfast
i then told Miss Robertson that there
I was nothing now TO detain her on deck,
4 and thanked her for the great services
she had rendered us.
How well remembered her rs she
stood near the wheel, wearing my straw
hat her dress hitched up to allow free
dom TO her movements; her small
hands with the delicate blue veins
glowing through tho white, clear skin,
her yellow hair looped up, though with
many u tress straylng Ike an amber
colored featheri her marble face, her
lips pale with fatigue, her beautiful
blue eyes fired ever with the same
brave spirit though dim with the
WEAKNESS Of long and painful watch
ing, and the oppressive and numbing
sense Of ever-present dangerl
On no persuasion would allow her
to remain longer on deck and although
she begged to stay ! took her hand
firmly and led her TO her cabin door.
She promised to lilo down and try to
sleep. kissed her hand and held open
the cabin door for her to enter, and
then returned on dock.

And MS soon as ever IL comes day

tross, and keep It flying. What more

At this moment Miss Robertson re-
turned, | asked her how she had
found hor father, and she replied, In q
low voice, that he was sleeping, but
that his breathing was very faint and
uncertain. and that no sometimes
talked in his sleep.
She could not disguise her anxiety,
and entreated her to 90 below and
watch him and rest herself as well;
but she answered that she would not
leave the deck until l had finished taxi

sary.

THE COUNTRY ROAD.


The pathway Of life may be narrow and steep:
But the road through the country is sleeper.
The pitfalls and SHARES that heser Us are deep;
But the mud that surrounds Us is deeper
There are fence rails for bridges and mud holes
fer drains,
And hard heads and powders for gravel:
And broken down orggies, on hillside and
plains.
Give warnings, like ghosts, as we travel
Lank horses, by work and abuse broken cowr
Gaze at rs from road side and stable,
Young men reaching wisifully out toward the
town.
Or seeking its portals when able
Deserted farm houses: the fences decayed
And the oreezes through weed patches blow

But 10 follow the plow and the harrow

By flimsy but tangible curtain:
Societys pleasures away from him hurled
The roads are so very uncertain
There's little enjoyment in life scattered

And little Of profit or pleasure,
In roads where the bottom can scarcely be

With less than a seventeen measure.
