An Embarrassing Moment.

A story is told of Miss Genevievs
Ward aud English royalty that will bear
a trip across the Atlantic. As is we'll
known. the prince of Wales is very fond
OF the theater, and is as well a great
admirer Of the genius Of Miss Ward.
When she was playing %Stephanie In
"Forget-Me-Not' the English prince
called upon her in the green-room to
congratulate her upon her work. His
royal highness was accompanied by the
duke of Edinburg. Prince Teck, and a
Russian nobleman. While they were
conyersing. Miss Ward, hearing the
Jingle of the bells worn by n tiny pet
dog who followed her everywhere, and
fearing she might stray off, called out,
Come here, Teck."
The gentlemen started, and Miss
Ward hastily apologized, recollecting
the name of Il OF her distinguished
visitors.
MY little dogs name is Teck-short
for Theckla, a German character in m
Of my plays"
they all laughed heartily, and in
came the little fellow with tho princely
name. and s~traightway rushed at the
duke OF Edinburg.
"She win bite me?' exclaimed the
duke.
Basket, Tcck!" cried Miss Ward, re-
proyingly, and the little creature with
prompt obedience ran out Of the room
and curled herself up in the basket. As
her visitors were descending the stairs
Miss Ward heard them laughing hearth
ly, and she plainly distinguished the
voice of the prince of Wales as he
slapped bis cousin on the shoulder and
said merrily, Basket, Teck!'
