One by one we stole uA 20 the sky
light, and the king, raising himself,
glanced in, my eyes following over his
shoulders. For full five minutes we
were there. hearing every word, seeing
every soul. And then the king bent
down softly, and, laying a hand on my
shoulder, motioned me back. It was
not until we reached the parapet that
he said anything, and it was as If he
were muttering prayer to himself.
When we got back helped him to
dress. He did not, however, resume his
roquelaure or hat, but stood playing
with the hilt of his sword, letting his
eye run backward and forward over the
vacant space in my room. At last he
turned to me.
Monsieur, you have not answered .

"Sire," answered boldly, "is it my
fault?"
He began to pull at his mustache,
keeping his eyes to the ground and say

for little, there is time" AS for me, I
took my courage in both hands and

out; IT will never stand so before the

"Not before the king, monsieur, but
before man who considers himself a
little wronged, too. What! Is d'Auriac
so high that he cannot stoop to cross a
blade with plain Henry de Bourbon"
And then it was as if God himself took
the scales from my eyes, and fell on
my knees before my king.
He raised me gently. Monsieur, 1

gained friend, and bark! If am not
mistaken here is de Vitry."

A TRUE TALE.
How . Young Girl Frightened On
British Soldiers During the
War of 1912.

ooh, if were only a mani" exclaimed
Rebecca Bates, a girl of IA, as she looked
from a window of a lighthouse at
Scituate, Mass, during the war of 1912,
and saw British warship anchor in the
harbor.
"What could you do?" asked Sarah
Winsor, a young visitor. ''See what a
lot of them the boats contain, and look
at their guns!" And she pointed to five
large boats filled with soldiers in scar
let uniforms, who were coming to burn
the vessels in the harbor, and destroy
the town.
ca. I'D use fathers old shotgun-any-
thing. How still it is in the town!
There is not man to be scent"
''Oh, they are hiding till the soldiers
get nearer. Then we'll hear the shots
and the drum
1.-THE DRUM" exclaimed Rebecca.
''How can they use it? It is here. Fa-
Their brought it home last night to
mend. See! They are going to burn
fathers sloop! Where is that drum
I've a mind to go down and beat it,
AS flames began to rise from the
sloop, the ardor of the girls increased.
They found the drum and an old fife,
and slipping out of doors unnoticed by
Mrs. Bates, soon stood behind a row of
sandhills.
"Rub-a-dub! Rub-a-dub-dub!" went
the drum, and squeak. squeak,
squeak!" went the fife.
The Americans in the town thought
that help had come from Boston, and
rushed into boats to attack the red
coats. The British paused in their work
of distinctions; and, when the fife be-
gan to play yankee Doodle" they
scrambled into their boats and rowed
in haste to the warship, which sailed
swiftly away.-Mail and Express.

OPTIMISM.

There's q word Of gentle meaning,

It's the sesame of dreaming.
''Afterwhile.'
When our fortunes halt and vary,
It's the watchword Of the fairy,
From hopes sweet vocabulary,
"Afterwhile."
We will hear no Sounds Of battle.
"Afterwhile."
We will miss the cannon's rattle.
"Afterwhile."
Men will put away the saber
And together they will labor
Each to help a helping neighbor.
"Afterwhile.
This old earth will cease its sorrow,
"Afterwhile."
There will dawn a peaceful morrow.
"Afterwhile."
When all grief Is but tradition,
Giving Cts its rightful mission),
Contrast to life's best condition.

"A LIONS TOOTHACHE.
How . Successful Job In Dentistry =
an Uncommon Kind Was
Performed. {.

How it happened the keepers of Cen
trail park, New York, cannot tell, but
one day the lion was sick. It was dur
ing the early rainy days of spring when
neuralgia was an everyday complaint;
and SO no one thought it strange that
the king of beasts should suffer from
malaise along with his subjects, the
less pretentious animals of the Central
park menagerie.
But an observant small boy happened
along that morning, and when he saw
the lion put his paw to his cheek and
groan, that boy knew that the lion had
toothache. Nothing else," he told
the keeper, could bring such look of
awful pain to the face of man or beast"
Now, the keepers are humane sort of
antics of the lion for an hour, they de-
cided with the small boy that it GER
tanly was the toothache.
They held a consultation, and in
that consultation they decided it was
best to pull the lions tooth. "For,"
reasoned they, che will not use tooth
ache drops"
Next came the problem of pulling the
tooth. All the dentists within long
radius of Central park were telephoned
for, but each refused most emphat-
ically to pull the tooth of the lion. They
described over the telephone exactly
how it should be done, but when asked
to come and perform the operation,
they one and all pleaded a previous
engagement.

fellow and pulled him out of the cage
He came reluctantly, straining upon his
ropes, for he seemed to know that q
fresh pain was in store for him. But
he kept on groaning, which showed
that his toothache did not let up even
with the presence of three dentists.
When they had thrown him upon
stone floor and bound him limb to limb,
and had rebound his feet and fastened
them to iron posts, they took big
plug of rubber and forced it into his
jaws, far back until he could not close
them.
Then came the fun. Upon his back

were fastened around the tooth, and
pressed downward into the gum, in that

one who has tooth extracted in cold
blood. Then up came the forceps out
of the jaw, bringing the tooth, whole

a little sac, which showed where the
trouble lay.
The monarch bore it pretty we'll,
although he did howl Justify while the

profusely when the plug was taken out.
But he was glad to be released, and, an
hour later, he was tearing small live an

weak Human Nature.

A touching incident occurred recently
in a French village. The peasants pro-
posed to present their pastor with bar
rel of wine, each one to pour in bottle
full. But, alas! for human nature!
Each peasant thought that bottleful
of water would not be noticed in so
much wine, SO when the good minister
came to tap the barrel, there flowed out
a stream of pure water only. He got q
barrel of real wine the next day.
