Why the King of Greece MOurns.

The king of Greece has just lost little
dog which he came by in rather curl
Gus way. He was at some maneuvers
a number of years ago, standing amid
his staff, when it suddenly made its ap-
pearance, no one knew whence, and
stationed itself at the kings feet All
attempts to dislodge it were fruitless
and it remained there until the end of
the review. When the king went to his
carriage the little dog walked in front
of him, las proud as Punch, with his
tail erect, and scrambled first into the
carriage before any one could say him
nav. Arrived at the palace he darted in
first, and insisted on remaining with the
king His majesty, who is slightly super
stitious, said the dogs persistency was a
good omen that at any rate he had one
faithful friend, and from that time for
ward it slept in his bedroom and scarce
ly ever left him. 1t was most super
cilious little dog, and would never take
notice of any one except the king, whom
it seemed to idoize. The dog died the
other day, much to the sorrow OF Its
master. London Graphic.

Along in 1888 John Fellmann awakened one
morning in his narrow little room in yomin
city and glanced out upon the SUI. bright streets
with sorrow in his heart. His finances were
low and his prospects in life seemed bleak and
drear. With many sigh he donued his cloth

Affairs looked doubly grim upon his arrival In
Chicago, and poor young Fellmann was even
more Respondent than he had been In wyoming.
One morning as he idly paced the busy streets
he happened by the post office. Not with any
great expectations, but more to break the
monotony of the day, he stopped in and inquired
for mail. To his surprise he found Il letter
awaiting him. Carelessly he opened it, but as

A Query About EXtravagant Adornment

A Query About Extravagant Adjournment.
Suppose Mrs. Vanderbilt were to have
a Partisan dress literally covered with
$4,000 bills, sewed neatly but conspicu-
ously upon the garment, and so attired
were to present herself in the box of a
theater? What would be thought of our
good friend jesse Seligman if, having
paid $3.50 for the use of box at the
horse show, he should cause to be set
upon the railing a glass box in which
were 100000 twenty dollar gold pieces,
he dallying with them, showing them
about with his cane or pouring them
| from one hand to another.
Silly, isn't it?
What, then, if these be silly, is to be
thought and what to be said of women
who but for the financial ability of theii
husbands, fathers or what not wouldn',
have q dollar, and who attend public
places wearing tiaras of diamonds cost

VIOLET TIME.

In violet time
The wandering wind no longer grieves
Among dull winters withered leaves,
But spring her bridal garments weaves
In violet time.
In violet time
Bright waters by the breezes stirred,
The carol of the homing bird
In every budding brake is heard
In violet time.
In violet time
On misty hills and flashing streams
Shine forth the hopeful, gladstone CLEAN;
OF sunny days and summer dreams
In violet time.
In violet time
A thrill of ecstasy divine
Exalts the soul like newmade wine,
And faith and hope and love combine
In violet time.
In violet time
The shadows all translucent lie
In joyous languor on the sky
Oh, who would be content to die
In violet timer

believe you thought SO poorly Of me.
Hannah? Why, Lord help mel can't
talk, and / can't bear to hear you talk,
about my marrying with Hannah or
anybody else" &t
"Why not, Mr.. Amerson2" she asked,
in tone cold as her cold hand. =
Because because It's a thing /
can't even think about; and I've no
idea that such thought was ever In
Hannah's mind. Good Lord, Juliap
She looked for several minutes at his
evident embarrassment, and then, in
tone almost masculine, said:
I've been supposing that at least
you had been SO expecting, and I
wanted both to know that my wish
was for the speedy fulhllment.of your
expectations. If in this was mis-
taken, the case is indeed an unhappy
one. don't think you can doubt that
Hannah would marry you If you were
to ask her. If you do not, she is to be
ruined. oh, Mr.. Amerson! you put
wrong, more than one wrong, upon
your brother which will have to be
atoned for in some way. The dear boy
died not knowing the kind and extent
of some of it, and without suspicion Of
what would have seemed to his gener-
GUS nature far the greatest. During
his life, playing upon the weakness Of
his wife, whose loyalty he was too pure
himself to suspect, you-to what ex-
tent you corrupted it, only you two
and the Creator know. 1 did hope
that the feeling you had for her might,
after my death, be made honorable by
legitimate sanction. AS it is-oh,
Hannah! poor Hannah! That's all 1
have to say now: please ask them to
come back"
He knew then that either she had
witnessed the garden scene or that it
had been reported to her by one of the
servants. He could not but feel the
shame, yet he was thankful that his
apprehensions were groundless that
she had asked for the interview for
the purpose of threatening exposure
of what she knew about the pretended
destruction of the will. Without ask
ing his leave, she sent messenger to
Hannah begging to see her once more.
1t was blessing she did SO. In a
brief conversation they came to un-
derstand each other fully. When told
how Cullen had died. the invalid said:
Blessed be Godl Oh, Hannah, you
have taken out of my heart the thorn
that panied the deepest; and, my dear
child, l have prayed earnestly that
Cullen's family may recover what has
been taken from them. trust 1t will
be SO; / cannot foresee how, but
know that God regards with peculiar
watchfulness the things done to widow
hood and orphanage. That's all can
say. l am thankful that you and Mr..
Amerson will never marry; but, Han
nah dear, hope that when the doings
in all that unhappy affair are brought
to light, you will try to see that he has
some chance to avoid absolute ruin in
this world and in the next"
At her death her husband shed some
real tears. The brother and sister
went away In continued ignorance oi

flicted upon her who now was beyond
their sympathy and help.

lawyer, when not occupied with the af-

without the sound Of hslloo and hound,

CHAPTER XII

The two plantations, the large tract
adjoining Cullen's and another on the
river, having been purchased by Pearce
Amerson after the execution of the
will, did not pass by it, and to that ex-
tent he had died intestate. Dabney's
counsel had been for Cullen to apply
for letters of administration, although
knowing that, as the law prefers al
ways a sole administration to a joint,
much more to two divided and hostile,
Wiley, If he should contest the applica-
tion, must prevail In such event Dab
ney hoped for some result. if no other
than increased evaporation Of the
public mind by the way he meant to,
discuss his conduct in the courthouse.
If he did not contest, II would evince
fear, or at least sense of weakness.
Then it would be well to make the
issue as distinct and as hostile as pos
sible, so that people would think and
talk about it freely. Already he had
alluded to the will several times on the
streets, in the hearing Of town and
