at once, however, did see something
which caused my heart to give a great
bound. Looking at the far end of the
gallery, where the deserted apartments
of which Boris had told me were stu
ated, distinctly perceived faint glow
of light along the floor.
Instantly turned to the threshold
of the room in which / had left the
young prince, and beckoned to him to
come out into the gallery. He saw by
my manner that had made some inn
portant discovery, and obeyed my ges-
ture with shaking limbs. No sooner
had he emerged from the doorway, and
followed with his eyes the direction
in which pointed than he gave a great
gasp of terror.
"'The deserted suite!' he exclaimed.
in a hoarse whisper. There has never
been light there in all the years that
l have known this part of the palace!'

at is what expected you to tell me,
i whispered back. But do not give way
to nervousness. You must see that this
confirms my theory of the circum-
stances which we are about TO investi-
gate. A spirit, such as you were de-
ceived into thinking you saw, would
not need a light for it's purposes. IL Is
evident that we are on the track of a
more real and dangerous secret. The

A JOKE IN GERMANY.
Only Little One Bpt 1t Cost the Jokers
SQ00


This story illustrates the perils of prac-
tical joking in Germany. Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen OF leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir-
mess in Builay. They rode about with
a cabby and drank wine, and drank wine
and rode about with a cabby until they
were overtaken by the conditions of mind
and body which accompany these per-
formances at German festivals. Then
they begsan to dispute with the cabman
as TO the weight of the horse ana cab.
Eventually they offered him so pfennigs.
or about II cents pound for the whole
equippage. He accepted the offer. The
horse and cab went on the scales and
registered 1900 pounds. The whole outfit
was worth about $40, SO the cahman
fastened TO surrender II and demand
bis II cents pound, or $500 in all. The
four gentlemen of leisure then protested
that IL was all mistake, a joke, in fact,
and they couldn't think of paying 1850
for s75 equipage. They went away.
fut the ca bman sent horse and CAB after
them by express, c. o. ID. When the four
gentlemen OF leisure refused to follow
the practical part of the joke further, the
cabmen sued them. He carried on the
case from court to court, in response to
their appeals from each successive de-
cision in his favor, aud two weeks ago
obtained the final judgment in his
favor from the High Court of Justice in
Coblenz. The costs, meantime, had risen
TO s5i0, so the four gentlemen of leisure
were ordered by the court to pay 5000,
all told. That Is the total cost of tt Q
practical joke about the cabmen's sl5
outfit, excepting the private retainCrs
which, for the defence of the four jokers
through the steady legal fight of year
and half are said to amount to about
5000 monre. The Bullay cabman has
bought n pa ir and N Victoria and gone IN
Berlin TO carry men with titles aud spurs
oil their boots

Lest our presence in the gallery should
