for my lack of self-respect and courage.

me in Washington hours after the New
York express, with an incipient sick
headache, consequent on the lack of food
and fatigue, which kept me in bed the

In a corner of a cable car, says the New
| York World, sat charming girl. She
was beautifully gowned, faultlessly
| gloved, bore most becoming hat on her
! piquant little head, and on her lap car
r1ed u mandolin case.
OF course she was the object of intense

man who had seen her nearly every day in
the car, and always carrying the mando-

devoted student of that musical instru-
ment he had ever encountered. Behind
him sat two shop-girls, and they were
discussing the interesting unknown.

Queen Margherita is described as a
| great talker, and one who sometimes
talks nonsense, to which her royal hus-
baud merely replies by giving the table a
| good hard slap with his fist. The queen,
on the contrary, if he says anything to
annoy her, tells Humbert plainly what
she thinks. The king has great control
