which would greatly damage it, several

THE NECESSARY RESOURCES

The affair had three obvious results: The
marriage of Prince Julian. Sir Henry
Shum's baronetcy and the complete reno
walton Of Lady Craigennoch's town house
Its other effects. if any, were more OBJ
scurC.
BY accident of birth and of political
events, Prince Julian was a pretender. one
Of several gentlemen who occupied that
position in regard to the throne Of an
important European country. By a neces-
sfty of their natures, Messrs. Shum and
Ryers were financiers; thanks to n fall in
rents and a taste for speculation. Lady
CraiEennoch was hard put TO it for money.

of Mr. Shum's; sometimes he allowed her

How He Meant to settle In.

From the San Francisco bulletin
Judge Murphy was trying a case in san
Rafael once. 1t was a murder case and
bitterly contested. 1t had not proceeded
very far before the attorneys got to logger
heads. The attorney for the defense did
his best to initiate the attorney for The
prosecution, and the prosecuting attorney
retaliated with all his might. Finally mat
tiers got TO such pitch that the attorney
for the prosecution turned upon his oppo-
nent and called him down in open court.
Judge Murphy interrupted, saying:
Gentlemen, gentlemen. this won't do.
This sort of thing is very respectful to
the court. This is no place for such eXhi-
bitions. If you gentlemen have any differ
ences 10 settle, settle them out Of court"
The attorney for the defense Immediately
rose and said: We have no differences, if
your honor please"
IF your honor please" said the prosecut-
ing attorney, Il wish to say that we have
differences. And wish to give notice that
when court adjourns i intend to crack that
mans head over there"
Judge Murphy exploded. How dare you.
sir? How dare you? This is the Erossest
contempt of court. How dare you come
here and attempt to terrify counsel? i fine
you $50, sir; 500.
The attorney replied: THAT is rather
hard on me- IL your honor please. Your
honor distinctly suggested that i should
settle my differences with this man out OF
court, and / gave notice of my intention TO
do SO. That was all i have the highest
respect and appreciation of your honor's
Judgment in such matters, and felt proud
to accept your honors advice.
Judge Murphy was not PROOF against
such subtle fiattery, and the tne was
promptly remitted.

We'll talk about that tomorrow, said
Mr. Byers. I'm going 10 call In Palace

thoughtful as he brushed his hat and sent
for a hanson. But as he drove along his
brow cleared, and he smiled triumphantiy.

sary resources they could do nothing; If
they did nothing. would not the dropping

field for calumEy, for innuendo. for hints
of faity. for whispers OF intrigue; for
scandal mongers have their turn to serve,

somebody writes Sheridan's comedy anew,
let him lay the scene of it in a bourse; be-
tween his slandered stock and his SLAM
dered dame. he may work out very pref
ty AMI fanciful parallel.
Here. however, the facts can be set down
only plainly and prosaically. On all the
exchanges there arose a feeling of uneasi-
ness respecting the stock of the government
of Prince Juian's country: selling was go
ing on, not in large blocks. but cautiously,
continually, in unending driblets; surely on
a system and with a purpose? Then came
paragra phs in the papers (ike whispers be-
hind fans) discussing the state of the gov
ernment and the country much in the vein
which had marked Mrs. Rivers disserta-
tions. By now the stock was down three
points: by pure luck it fell another. in
mysterious sympathy with the South Afri-
can mining market. Next there was riot
in a provincial town in the princes coun-
try. then n minister resigned and made a
statement in the chamber. Upon
this it seemed no more than natural that
attention should be turned to Prince
Julian. his habits. his encourage. his vlsi-

writer continued ARE in contemplation,
but of these it would be premature to
speak, There was not very much in all
this. but 1t made the friends of the stock
rather uncomfortable: and they were no
more happy when a leading article in
