saying orly:
Madame, FAREWELL
Farewell. my lord" said osra softly;
and she went hastily into the. castle. while
the bishop returned to his inn in the town,
and, though the people stood round the inn
the best part Of the day, calling and watch
ing for him, he would not show himself.
In the evening of that day the king. hav-
ing heard the udings of the crime of Count
Nikolas. came in furious haste with a
troop Of horse from Strelsau. AND when be
heard how Osra had played at dice with the
count and, stalking herself against the cas-
tie of Zenda, had won 1t back, he was
ashamed and swore an oath that he would
play dice no more. which oath he faithfully
Observed. And in the morning of the next
day he went to Festenburg, where he
logged soundly every man who had not run
away before his coming: and all the possess
sions of Count Nikolas he confiscated. and
he pulled down the castle of Festenburg
and filed up the moat that had run round
it's walls. Then he sent for the bishop of
Mcdenstein, and thanked him, offering to
him all the demesne of Count Nikolas: but
the bishop would not accept it nor any
mark of the kings favor, not even the or
der of the Red Rose. Therefore the king
granted the ground in which the castle
stood and all the lands belonging to it to
Francis of Tarlenheim. brother to the wife
CT Prince Henry, who built the chateau
which now stands there and belongs to the
same family TO this day.
But the bishop of Modenstein, having
teen entertained by the king with great
spIendor for two days. would not stay
longer. but set out to pursue his journey,
clad now in his ecclesiastical garments.
And Princess Osra sat by her window lean
ing her head on her hand and watching him
till the trees Of the forest hid him; and
when Oh ce he was on the edge of the for
est. he turned his face for an instant, and
locked back at her where she sat watching
In the window. Thus he went to Strelsau;
aid when he was come there, he sent i'm
mediately for his confessor, and the con-
fessor. having heard him. laid upon him a
severe penance. which he performed with
great zeal, exactness and contrition. But

Nlkolas of Festenburg (Which in a layman
at least would have seemed venial sim or
for what else, who shall say?

AN OFFENDED OSTRICH.
An Innocent Kitten MistOOI1 His Legs
for Snplings and Climbed Up.

An Innocent I<ittcn MistOOI< His Legs
for Snplings and Climbed Up.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The ostrich at the Geological Garden
stood in the long yard adjoining its cage In
the deer house yesterday. 1t gazet con-
tsmplatively through the bars of the fence
at the world beyond and shivered once in
while as the cool breezesi swept down upon
it. 1t was thinking Of, the differences in
climates and wondering; whether If it
buried one of it's eggs as it used to do in
the long grass during such weather the
cool wave would hatch out an ice cream
churn.
While it was revolving the question In
its mind a playful kitten came through
the fence into the yard. 1t pretty
kitten-pure white except for a few blotch-
es that looked If somebody had thrown
an ink bottle at it. after carefully remov-
ing the cork. The kitten went running
along the yard until it came to the ostrich.
Thinking its long, thick legs were young
saplings the playful kitten gave run and
quickly climbed up them. and was soon on
top of the ostrich's back.
The huge bird did not know what to
make of it at first and went cantering
around the yard though the plague
were after it. Round and round it went,
until, red in the face, it came to sudden
stop The kitten never moved. 1t had
taken firm hold of the ostrich and did
not propose to be shaken.
Il stood the earthquake this morning."
said the kitten. II guess 1 can stand
this"
Finding that the strange beast refused
to be thus summarily disposed of the
ostrich became less scared and more
angry. 1t curled it's neck and twisted it's
head 50 as TO get a fair look at the kitten.
The kitten never WINGED. 1t began to
think it had barked up the wrong tree,
but it was determined to the matter
out. The ostrich aimed blow at the I'M
desirable rider with its beak, but it
lodged. II tried it again, but the result
was the same. Again and again the agile
head and long neck rained sledge hammer
blows at the tricky little kitten. 1t es-
capped them all, though some We're too
near for comfort.
Finally the kitten got scared. 1t ran
cut on the ostrich's neck to get out of the
way. Then it smiled. The ostrich
couldn't hit it there. Its smile did not
last long. however. With sudden move
ment the ostrich stretched its neck back
ward, encircled the kitten round the waist
and squeezed it until it was dead. Then it
unwound itself and placidly looked at the
dead animal After moment or two
of contemplation it picked up its victim
and flung it as far as it could Then it
calmly resumed the medi eations that had
been SO ruthlesSly Interrupted.

FAITHFUL To HER TRUST.
Benefit Gained Through Placing u
Woman on n School Board.

From the Louisville Post.
Inspectors of schools and state super
intendentS of education testify that the
schools are best cared for when there are
both men and women on the board. The
lnen. owing to their larger business expert
cree, are generally more competent to deal
with the purely business questions that
come before the board. but the women are
found better able to deal with questions
that relate to the" children, and there are
all sorts Of little things about a school
building that they look after more keenly
than the men. There arei many housekeep-
ing details for which a woman's eye is
needed; and the same thing has been found
true in the supervision of the schools.
One striking instance occurred in Mas
sachusettts town pot far from Boston.
breaks of diphtheria ana other diseases.
The school committee had the building
whitewashed and ventilated and did all
they could think of to improve the sanitary
arrangements. but in vain. The school
house was about to be closed as hopelessly
unhealthy, when a woman was elected to
the school board. She went all over the
building and then asked to be shown the
cellar.
The janitor was disguised. He said no
member of the school board had ever asked
to be taken into the cellar before and that
it was not in a fit state for visitors. This
only made the lady the more determined to
see it. She found in it an old we'll. reeking
and the school had no more outbreaks Of
illness

Up through the window still came the
noise of voices and the stir Of men NOV
ing: for they were recovering the body Of
the count from the moat; yet neither Osra
ror the bishop noticed any longer what
was passing: he was intent on her, and she
seemed hardly yet herself; but suddenly,
and before he could interpose, she threw
herself off the couch and on to her knees
in front Of him. and, selling hold of his
hand. she kissed first the episcopal ring
that he wore and then his hand. For he
was both bishop and gallant gentleman,
and kiss she gave him for each; and
after she had kissed his hand ne fest the

But he raised her hastily, crying to her
not to kneel before him. and throwing
away his hat. he knelt before her, kissing
her hand many times. She seemed now re-
covered from her bewilderment and terror;
for, as she looked down on him kneeling
she was Railways between tears and
smiles. and with curving lips but wet,
shining eyes she said very softly:
"Ah, my lord. who made bishop Of

from dead white into sudden red and her
hand moved over his head as if she would
fain have touched him with 1t. And she
bent ever so little toward him. Yet per
