But all this while, unbeknown to
himself, he had been drawing the bow
across the strings instinctively, unheed-
ingly, in unwilling disregard of his
surroundings. The accustomed, caress-
ing touch of the violin seemed to an
swer his vague longing for expression.
After awhile he noticed dimly that
the members of the orchestra were bend
ing toward him with curious intentness,
and that there was breathless stiffness
throughout the house. He did not know
or care what was the reason, for he
was lost in the distant land Of memory,
draping the brightness of every recol-
lection with the black of present hope
lessness; marking the vainness of every
hope and the futility of every sacrifice.
The thoughts which were flashing
through his mind found an added bitter
ness in the consciousness that all might
have been so different if his courage
had not failed him; If he could have
shown to the world what he knew to be
his real power. Was there yet time? If
he could only have another trial-one
little opportunity-perhaps he could re-
deem this mistake. He was sure that he
could. Was it too late-altogether too
late? Might not
He came to himself with start and
looked about him appealingly, mutely
asking forgiveness and sympathy from
some unknown source, then half STUN
bling turned to leave the stage.
A murmur followed him, fast grow
ing into a roar. The house seemed to
tremble and rock again and again in a
hurricane Of cheering. He heard his
name called by many voices and faced
about in utter bewilderment, his veins
tingling strangely He saw a wildly
tossing sea of faces. The audience had
risen to its feet and was crying out to
him-to himi The orchestra, too, was
applauding madly, forgetful of disci-
pine, and the conductor was smiling at
him with shining eyes What did it all
mean? For moment he stood dazed
and uncomprehending, then suddenly
he knew the truth. Unoonsciously he
had been playing the thoughts which
were in his mind, and the sobbing, vi
brating notes of the violin had told his
story to every human heart in the vast
theater. LELAND Ingerson in LOCKER

A 10 CENT QUEEN.

One Who Is Shipped All Over the World
In Box.
Imagine queen travelling around the
world on 10 centsl 1t seems preposter-
GUS, and yet it is fact. There is a GER
tain man, according to the St Louis Re
public, who will do this for any one
who will send him an order. whether it
comes from England, China or any 9TH
er foreign country, and he says:
81 have frequent demands from all
parts of the world. You see, / send
these queens as follows: You will notice
that there are two little circular apart
ments in this royal carriage, " and he
produced little wooden box, "one in
which the queen is kept and the other
for her suit. The little plug in the CEN
ter Of the box is solicited, candied
honey, which will furnish food to the
regal party until they arrive at their
destination.
THE compartments are covered with
a fine wire gauze to prevent the escape
of the insects.

long body and beautiful markings, is an
italian queen bee, and she is valued at
$40. have queens valued all the way
from So to S25.
1.-THE others, in the second compart-
ment, are the suit or worker bees, that
will accompany her on the trip, not only
for company, but also for the heat they
will produce to keep her comfortable on
the stormy voyage over the great, cold
seas.
'After we have the bees safely stow
ed away in their proper compartments,
we switch the little lid around and
fasten it with tiny screw at the ends,
and on its top surface the address of the
consignee is written, the stamp is affix-
ed, and away goes her majesty, a queen
sold into slavery for the trifiing sum Of
$40 and sent to her destination on a 10
cent stamp.
bee culture has grown so rapidly in
the United States that there are few
farmers now who have not substantial
apiary and who do not net handsome
income each year from the honey the
bees yield, and besides the farmers there
are thousands Of gentlemen and ladies
who are apiarists purely from the fas-
cination the hobby affords. "

The Queen of Greece

It is said by lady who recently Wis
tied Greece and had the honor Of meet
ing the royal family that perfect har-
mony exists between them, and the king
and queen are devoted to their children.
The queen is still very beautiful wom-
an and the only lady admiral in the
world. She holds this rank in the Rus
sian army, an honorary appointment
conferred on her by the late car because
her father held the rank of high adj
miral and for the reason that she is a
very capable yachtswoman. The king
has very remarkable memory, an in
teresting personality, and is brilliant
conversationalist. He goes about the
streets of Athens without any attend
ants and talks with any friend he
chances to meet. Prince George is very
attractive, and his feats of strength,
shown often in the cause of ohivalry,
are a continuous subject of conversation
among the people.

IN THE INN PARLOR AFTER THE
WEDDING.

WEOOllN0.
The fowery white wedding is over,
And over the rush of the train
So turn your sweet eyes to your lover
And kiss him again
There's no one to bore or to bother,
The whole pretty world and each other
Are ours from today.
This quaint little parlor-how pleasant
Its favor of long ago life!
But the crown of its life is the present,
My darling, my wifel
The pleasant wood fires glowing steady.
The table is set and for two,
The little white table all ready
For me and for you.
Do you think that L ever shall bore youi
All, let me sit still and adore you
While you pour out the teal
I'll help you. No boasts will utter,
But you see how domestic 1 am
can cut you your thin bread and butter
And hand you the jam.
After tea we will stroll down the meadow
By moonlight as true lovers should,
And kiss in the corner of shadow
You see by the wood.
One kiss! Now my teacup is carried
MY wife pours the tea out! We're mar
Oh, can it be true?

Their voice was sWeeter than the
priests.
l heard the birds of Bethlehem sing
unbidden In the churchly feasts
They chung and sung on the swinging
chain
High in the dim and incensed air
The priests, with repetitions vain,
Chanted a never ending prayer
So bell and bird and priest I heard,
But voice of bird was most to me.

And yet it sounded true and free.

And smile upon his mothers breast

Mr. Jones personally is as modest
