The old priest observed. however, that

Course have been decided by his re-

But horse! How was to get one?
I was standing in the doorway plotting
and planning when I heard the clink Of
shoes, and, looking up saw great
bearded man with blue cloak frogged
across In military fashion coming
towards me. He was riding big
black horse with one white stocking on
his near forelcg.
"Hullo, comrade!" said 1, as he came
up to me.
"Hullol" said he.

said I. II have lain here wounded for a
month and am now ready to rejoin
my regiment at Pastores."

he answered, land lam myself upon my

"Alas!" said I, II have no horse. But

He would not hear Of it, and it was
In vain that the landlord told him
dreadful stories Of the doings of Ell
Cuchillo, and that I pointed out the
duty which he owed the army and to
the country. He would not even argue
but called loudly for cup of wine. 1
craftily asked him to dismount and to
drink with me, but he must have seen
something in my face, for he shook his
head, and then as l approached him
with some thought Of seizing him by
the leg he jerked his heels into his
horses TANKS and was of in cloud OF
dust.
My faith, 1t was enough to make q
man mad to see this fellow riding away
so gayly to Join his beef barrels and his
brandy casks, and then to think of my
five hundred beautiful hussars without
their leader. I was gazing after him

ern and never before shown in such
completeness. such as all the apparatus
needed for ski running, the elk
chase, skating, ETC., and lifelike grotpa
are placed everywhere, typifying the
different classes of sport.
Outside on the grounds, too, there
will be many things of interest to bs
seen, such as the Saga-grotto, in which
the most fairy-lilSe effects will be pro-
duced by electric light, and in which ten
boats will constantly carry passengers
around.
The Swedish Yacht club will give
grand international regatta, the be-
ginning of July, In which Emperor VIII
liam III. will also participate with his
champion yacht Meteor, and with his
Hohenzollern.
AS to the number of exhibitors,
Sweden has some $500 Of them; Nor
way, 300.
For the tourist, however, this fne
exposition will be but part Of the
special entertainment offered him in
the Land of the Midnight Sun this sum
mer. Special arrangements have been
made to facilitate and cheaper consider
ably, not alone the journey to Stock
holm, but also the stay in that city
and the trip through the whole country.
Special trains will be run throughout
the exposition season, starting from
Berlin ut 7:12 H. II. and arriving at
Stockholm at sos a. ma trip of only
Is hours, or the same time taken up
between Chicago and New York. But
this trip of 26 hours will in itself be in
tensely varied and interesting, for the
train first goes through Prussia, up to-
the farthest point of the promontory
OF Ruegan. to Sanuitz, one Of the most
picturesque routes on the continents;
then a comfortable fast boat takes the
passenger across that area Of the Bal
tic to Trelleborg in Sweden, and then
for IA hours one goes by easy stages
through one Of the finest parts of Swe-,
den, so far as landscape and customs and
manners of the natives are concerned,
to Stockholm direct.
That city though not ON the tourists'
highroad in modern times, Is one of the
gayest. most ancient and interesting
cities in Europe, with rich historical
past, OF which its many quaint and
beautiful buildings speak plainly, and
with surroundings so fine in natural
scenery as to outvie in this respect

King Oscar of Sweden will preside and
give the members of the congress q
splendid fete in his chateau of Drot-
tingholm, near Stockholm. In Sep.
TENDER the jubilee of the G5-year-old
reign Of the king will be celebrated in
the whole country with special eclat.
Of the exposition buildings several
are of unusual size and beauty. The
machinery hall is colossal structure
of iron and glass, 470 feet long, and the
Orders with span of 1877 feet. The
industrial hall is gigantic building
made wholly of wood and rising over
300 feet high, with cupolas and towers,
the latter reached by elevators. On top
there is restaurant, whence most
complete bird 's-eye view of the whole
exposition and of the sea and of the
city beyond can be obtained. The ex-
position space inside of the industrial
hall covers 10000 square meters, OF
about 100000 square feet, OF which
Sweden has $500 square meters, Nor
way and Denmark 1000 each, and Fin
land 1000. The art temple is the finest
building of all, being entirely white,
and making the effect of pure marble.
In architectural style it is closely mod
eled after famous Venetian plazzo,
but much larger, of course. The North
ern museum is monumental struc-
ture. In it is varied exhibit of OBJ
jects of science, education, instruc-
ton, hygiene and collective show of
wood carvings. The fisheries hall is
built so as to reach into the water. The
press pavilion is the most comfortable

finds himself In our little town, takes
advantage Of the opportunity to pay his
respects to the well-known Brigadier
Gerard. Then place It upon my breast,
and give my mustache the old Maren-

that neither they, nor you, either, my
friends, will ever realize the man that
(! was. You know me only as civil
ian-with an air and a manner 1t is true
but still merely as civilian. Had
you seen me as stood in the doorway
OF the inn at Alamo on the first day Of
July in the year 1910 you would then
have known what the hussar may at
tain to.
For month had fingered in that
aocursed village, and all on account Of
lance thrust in my ankle which made
1t impossible for me to put my foot to
the ground. There were three Of us at
frst-old Bouvet, Of the hussars;
jacques Regnier, Of the cuirassisrs,
and a funny little voltigeur captain
whose name forget-but they all cot
well and hurried on to the front, while
I sat gnawing my fingers and tearing
my hair, and even, as I must confess,
weeping from time to time as thought
OF my hussars and the deplorable condi-
ton In which they must find themselves
when deprived Of their colonel. l was
not q brigadier yet, you understand,
although I already carried myself like
one. But was the youngest colonel
in the whole service, and my regiment
was wife and children to me. It went
to my heart that they should be be-
reaved. 1t is true that villaret, the
senior major, was an excellent soldier,
but still even among the best there are
degrees Of merit.
All, that happy July day of which I
speak when first I limped to the door
and stood in the golden Spanish sun
shine! 1t was but the evening before
that had heard from the regiment
They were at Pastores on the other
side Of the mountains face to face with
the English-not forty miles from me
BY road. But how was I to get to
them? The same thrust which had
pierced my ankle had slain my charger.
I took advice from Gomez, the landlord,
and from an old priest who had slept
that night In the inn, but neither Of
them could do more than assure me that
there was not so much as colt left
upon the whole country side. The
landlord would not hear of my cross
ing the mountains without an escort,
for he assured me that Ell Cuchillo, the
Spanish guerrilla chief, was out that
way with his band, and that It meant q
death by torture to fall into his hands,
