The battle considering the romantic

both foolish. The first was to put him.

way by a bang on the back of the head;
after which he knew nothing.
Death is said to be painless opera

was assured of continued existence by
the eXcruciating discomfort which he
suffered. He was in a small dark place

pardonable self-satisfaction ON his pal

said:

out Of her heart some thirty or forty
vigorous young flirtations. 1t may be
stated here that during the first nights
encampment this young lady disap-
peared, and with Eer handsome young
camel-driver and camel; and there is
reason to think that she has been liv-
ing happily ever since.
Upon arriving at the princes palace,
they found changes.
1t appeared, in the first place, that
the princess, the mother of Terah, hay
ing been taken very i'll of dropsy and
at the point of death, summoned the
prince to private interview at which
she informed him that Terah was not
his daughter, but that as compensation
Ebal, who had been brought up as
slave, was in truth his lawful son and
heir. Their remarkable likeness to
each other was due to their both favor
ing their mother. The lady further
explained that her infdelity and decep-
ton had been carried out in retaliation

given her, some fifteen years before. in
the matter of n box of sweetlneats.

prince mad lost not an instant in send.
Ing for, arrived with his bowstrinr-
too late!
But his highness was indignant, and
somebody must be impaled. He sent
for Terah. II was then discovered fo-
the first time that she mud eloped with
Meryon, and left the slave boy Ebal-
row the true prince-in her place. The
latter was brought to his father, ex.

however for the father of Tcrah, who

The messenger learned that he used

quite SO valuable as the prince sup
posed. | saw it last year in Meryon's
studio, and l must say that it seemed
to me but, after all, l am
not IN expert in those things.
Hatipha, in another attempt to
escape. fell headforemost into a water
butt and was wedged in so tightly that
he drowned before they could get him
out. As or Senuah-ah, yes. there is
something to tell about her.
She made herself very useful and
agreeable during Meryon's conval-
escence-a period of month or more.
But for her slillful and tender nursing
he might have been bedridden twice
as long. He and Chase had agreed To
go home to New York together as
soon as he got well. But one morning
the surgeon came into his room, and,
after examining him and pronouncing
him fit to travel, added: BY the way,
you'll have to excuse me-"
'What for?"

If you don't regret it, my dear boy,

Meryon, with a broad smile; and up to
last accounts, l am happy to add, there
seems to have been no cause for dis
satisfaction. Yet we should not for

is an exception and not . precedent
