so faithful they knew he would never have forgotten to come for them.
 ''Wel, little wife," said Edgar at last, ''the only thing for us to do is to go over in the stage. No doubt there is some good reason for Martins failure to meet us here"
 So in the stage they went. They were so full of plans for their stay in the cot tage by the lake that the time passed quickly, notwithstanding that the lumber ing old stage moved slowly.
 Martin and Sarah will have everything in readiness for us when we arrive," said Edgar.
 How good it will seem to sit down by ourselves to our dinner!' said Bertha. 1T am ready for it too. This fresh country air has given me such an appetite! Oh! we shall have delightful times"
 "We shall indeed enjoy our stay here," answered Edgar. How fortunate we were to secure Martin and his wife! It would have been difficult to find servants here, imagine. They will keep everything in or der at the house, and Sarah Is the best of cooks. We shall spend our days hunting and fishing and wandering about these beautiful. woods, and when we return at night Sarah will have a delicious supper ready for us. We shall have a delightful, quiet, rural life without a care for the next month. Shall we not darling?"
 Before Bertha could reply the stage stop ped to let them out at the cross roads near their cottage.
 As they approached the cottage Edgar pointed out the gable roof among the trees It was a lovely, picturesque little spot and Bertha went into raptures over the roc mantle life they were to lead there so diff ferent from their city life with its form and ceremony.
 Sarah will find us ready to do justice to her cooking" said Edgar. "But here we are, dear Why, the house is shut up; there is no sign of life about the place. What can it mean?"
 "Please, sir" said little barefooted boy, stepping from behind a clump of bushes where he had been waiting, Are you the gentleman and lady who's goin' to live here?"
 'sYes, yes. But why do you ask? How is it that you are the only person here to welcome us?" asked Edgar -t

Now comes the announcement from Paris that Americans of distinction will have the privilege of extending their hes ptality to a representative of the blood royal-a king-the heralded potentate be- ing none other than Leopold H., klns ol the Begians.
 With the first rumor of the intended visit of his majesty to this country, the wheels and cogs of our ultra select social elements have been started on whlrr or preparative industry. The gold representa- tives of American swelldom are fairly tum- bling over one another in the frantic en- deavor to secure his Royal Highness, as a guest of this or that hospitable board Family escutcheons, houses bearing tm- portant monograms and the gilded ele- ments of social democracy, dominating throughout the entire this our Bohemian land, have decided to tack the tag of so- cial homage above their door-plateS upon the advent of his ilustrious Highness.

 Not only the cream of our social circles elect, but in almost all branches of society, tapering down from the multi-millionaire, to the common, ordinary gentleman, there is a decided under-current of expectations rivalry apparent.

that time "Cleo de Merode" has accumu- lated a fortune, estimated at over a mill lion dollars. The popularity of this woman was a result of a mad freak on the part of the Merry Monarch" Travelling in- cognito he had visited cheap variety halls in Paris where the then unknown "Cleo de Merode" was doing in the parlance of American stageology-a song and dance act. i
 King Leopold, accompanied by his faitfz full secretary, occupied private box in the amusement resort. Leopold H. was apparently uninterested with the program until the appearance of "Cleo de Merode." "l The beauty of the girl, her graceful car- riage, her sparkling eyes, and the dainty, manner in which she pirouetted about the stage, all tended to arouse the enthusiasm of the royal visitor. g
 His "bravos' were loud and frequent, sol much so, in fact, that the manager of the theater demanded that he cease the noise. Leopold grew indignant and shouted "bravo' even louder than, before. The manager, with the assistance of the stall wart gendarme, evicted the troublesome patron from the theater.

To win the applause of the King of Belgians is consid- cred plum worth picking by any member of the dramatic profession and as the gay old monarch is known to be passions ately fond of American art, it is more than probable that his footprints will long be traced in this country.

The wedding was over at last and Ed gar Hillman and his charming little bride left the latter's home in New York amid showers of rice and congratulations to go on their bridal tour. Everyone said never had bride and groom started with bright CT prospects. Both were young, both hano- Some and both rich, and, best of all, each devotedly in love with the other There seemed to be nothing wanting for perfect happiness. To be sure Aunt Martha had suggested that it would have been well to have Bertha spend year in learning housekeeping before her marriage. But "what nonsense! they all exclaimed. Ed gar was rich and why should Bertha waste her time in such drudgery? She had learn- ed all that the best French schools could teach and was accomplished in all that her fashionable mamma thought necessary Aunt Martha was an old fogy. And so pretty little Bertha Whiting was married the spring after her first season in society.
 Their honeymoon was not to be spent in the conventional manner at gay watering places and fashionable resorts. Bertha really cared very little for the gaiety into which her mother had led her, and Edgar consented to spend their honeymoon wher- ever and in whatever way she suggested. The result was that they had rented a pretty cottage on one of the lovely little lakes in the western part of New York; stocked it well with provisions and had sent up a couple of faithful servants Ca man and his wife) to have everything in readiness for their arrival.
 Their plan was a secret from all their friends. They only said: We are going to have an original honeymoon" and would answer no questions as to where it was to be spent.
 It was 10 o'clock on the morning after the wedding when they reached the rail- road station nearest to their destination. In vain they looked for old Martin whom fhey had expected to meet them and drive them over to the lake. six miles distant. What could have become of him? He was

METROPOLIS WELCOMES

From the Birmingham (Ala.) Daily News.
 In recent conversation with Mrs. Geor- gia Bradford, matron of the Birmingham Surgical Institute, she expressed a decided preference for Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic as a medicine to be used in cases where reme- dial tonics were desirable.
 'It seems especially adapted" she re- marked, "for the delicate stomachs of all sick folks, as 1t has no interior effect of weakening or nauseating Any one conva- lescing from a severe illness, or recovering from the shock of a surgical operation, finds it invaluable in its restorative and re- cuperative effects, while the ordinary ills of every day life, which do not come to Q hospital for treatment, like dyspepsia, gen. eral debility, and other results of impure blood, succumb to 1t so readily, it is a won- der any one consents to remain ill.,
 "If this is the case why don't every one make it point to have Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic at hand, and when they are run down and in need of help, take it, the same as they do water when they're thirsty?" asked.
 .For the simple reason that the people don't all know the facts regarding 1t, though they are getting to very fast,' re- piled Mrs. Bradford. "If I were news paper man, as you are, would constitute myself public benefactor by giving the readers of my paper some free advice for their best good, on just this subject, even if the firm who makes the medicine didn't pay for 1t. Print some testimonial letters from actual, live, flesh and blood Birming- ham people whom we all know, who have used the remedy and know how good it is. can personally direct you to dozens of my acquaintances who use Dr. Harter's Iron tonic, and all will tell you, as I do. that it is an exceptional medicine
 Suppose you give me letter over your signature as starter, then, and I will see what your friends have to say about the Tonic later"
 And she wrote and handed me the follow ing:

 MRS. R. J. FOSTER. Mrs. Bradford was right. Dr. Harter'S Iron Tonic is known and used very largely in our community. The reason for its great popularity appaers everywhere by the bet< ter health it has brought to Birmingham, and we are glad to acknowledge the health bringer and those in our midst who suffei and know no way to free themselves, h try Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
