Quite an unexpectedly prosaic turn

off at Havre and to make their mortu-
ary comfortably at hotel He was al
ready provided with a sword cane. but
she seems to have expressed preference
for revolver, They went out after
what was to have been their last dinner
and purchased the weapon, which in
the privacy Of their apartment he pres
emily proceeded to misuse. He took,
that is to say, a pot shot at her as she
lay upon the sofa and grazed her dim
Piled chin. AS she did not die he came
little closer and fired again This time
he grazed her damask cheek. Satisfied
that all was over now, he shot himself
In the mouth. No fatal result followed,
and she not unnaturally made remark,
whereupon he proposed to begin all
over again with the sword cane. But she
had had enough, and very properly rang
the bell and had them both taken to the
hospital In due course he came before
the assize court and was also in due
course acquitted. Then the unusual
thing happened. She sued him civilly
for damages, and the same jury gave
her $50 directly. Thus while they ac-
quilted him Of the murder they SUBJ
stantially mulcted him for failing to
commit it.-Pall Mall Gazette. =

Dean Farrar, in his "reminiscences,
says that the first proofs of Dean Stan

the reader that from the monastery Of
Sinai was visible "the horn of the burn
ing beast" This was fearfully apoca-
lyptic nightmare of the printers devil
for "the. horizon of the burning BUSH"
The original proof sheets also stated that
on turning the shoulder of Mount Olivet
in the walk from Bethany "there sud-
denly burst upon the spectator mag

the finest bracelet in all Strelsau as a
gift from him. Thus she arrived at the
castle in the height of merriment and
exultation.
It chanced that the king also came to
Zenda that-night to spend week hunt
ing the boar in the forest, and when
Osra, all blushing and laughing, told
him of her success with the miller Of
Hofbau he was greatly amused and
swore that no such girl ever lived and
applauded her, renewing his promise Of
the bracelet, and he declared that he
would himself ride with her to Hofbau
on the wedding day and see how the
poor miller bore his disappointment.
"Indeed, do not see how you are
going to excuse yourself to him." he
laughed.
"a purse of 500 crowns must do that
Office for me-" said she.
"What, will crowns patch a broken
heart?''
"His broken heart must heal itself,
as mems broken hearts do, brother"
"In truth, sister, I have known them
cure themselves. Let us hope it may be
SO with the miller of Hofbau.'
cat the worst I have revenged the
wrongs of women on him. It is unen-
durable that any man should scorn us,
be he king or miller"
'tIt is indeed very proper that he
should suffer great pangs," agreed the
king, in spite of his plaster of crowns.
I shall love to see the stolid fellow sigh
ing and moaning like love sick court
ier."
So they agreed to ride together to the
miller's at Hofbau on the day appointed
for the wedding, and both Of them
waited with impatience for it. But with
the bad luck that pursues mortals (even
though they be princess in this poor
world it happened that early in the
morning of the Thursday great officer
came, riding posthaste from Strelsau to
take the kings commands on high mat
ters of state, and, although Rudolf was
sorely put out of temper by this unto
ward interruption, yet he had no alterna-
tive but to transact the business before
he rode to the miller's at Hofbau. So he
sat fretting and fuming waile long pa
pers were read to him, anG the princess
walked up and down the length Of the
frettihg also, for before the
king could escape from his affairs the
hour of the wedding was already come,
and doubtless the miller of Hofbau was
waiting with the priest in the church.
And indeed it was o'clock or more be-
fore Osra and the king set out from
zenda, and they had then ride of an
hour and half, and all this when Osra
should have been at the miller's at II
o'clock.

A Kings Courage.

King Pepin of France fiourished about
the year 750 A. D., and because Of his
diminutive size he had bestowed upon
him the rather disrespectful appellation
Of "Pepin the Short" It would appear
that certain of the French courtiers
were SO i'll hammered as well as ill ad-
vised as to make the monarch's IS def
cheney in inches the subject Of i'll ma
tured ridicule This unbecoming con-
duct having become known to the king,
his majesty resolved to put an end to
such derision of his person by perform
ing some feat which would prove once
and for all that if deficient in stature
he was not SO in manliness. In pursu-
ance Of this design, therefore, on the oc-
casion of public combat between a
lion and bull, when the former ami
NAL had succeeded, after a terrible
struggle, in pulling the bull to the
ground, King Pepin, turning toward
those of his nobility who were present.
said, (Which one Of you will dare to
enter the arena now and part the COM
batants or kill them?"
A dead silence and very perturbed
looks were the only reply. "Then here
is the man who will dare itl'' shouted
the little king, springing as he spoke
into the arena. With drawn blade he
rushed upon the lion and stabbed the
fierce brute to the heart ere it could
withdraw its fangs from the neck Of
the bull, in which they were imbedded.
Then with one mighty stroke the intrep-
i'd monarch almost severed the bulls
head from its body. The whole vast au-
dience sat silent and amazed at so un-
looked for an exhibition of courage, dex-
terity and strength combined Turning
toward his courtiers, the king merely
said in very quiet tone, "You should
have remembered that although David
was little Of stature, yet he laid low
the insolent giant who defled Israel. -

Real mespinr Of the First Conrress.

Stripped of all disguises and all tenn.
porary questions, this was what the con-
gress meant-that the people of America
did not propose to have Great Britain
govern them, except as they pleased,
and that they intended to control their
own governments and govern them
selves. Congress had taken the first step
along this new road. They could still
turn back. The English ministry had
still time to yield. But the decision was
to be made elsewhere, not in London or
in Philadelphia, not among ministers
or members of congress, but by certain
plain men, with arms in their hands,
far away to the north, whose action
would put it beyond the power Of con-
gress to retreat, even if they had de.
sired to do so.-Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge in Scribner's.
