A ROMANTIC CAREER.
parte, Mile. Clary Afterward Bc-
came Queen of sweden.

The names OF Josephine and Marie
Louise are connected with Napoleon
and his fortunes, but who stops TO re-
member that of Desiree Clary, TO whom
he was first betrothed? She was the
daughter of rich silk merchant of Mar
settles, and the Bonapartes, who were
living there in the years just preceding
their ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, became ac-
quainted with her family. Joseph Boz
naparte fell in love with her, and OBJ
tanned her promise TO marry him when
she should be 81; but Napoleon, appear
ing ON the scene, acted with his custom
airy emphasis, and declared that Desirec
must belong TO him. The family were
used to falling in with his decisions,
and they promptly agreed, Julie, the
other daughter, who had had a liking
| for Joseph, agreeing to marry him in
her sisters place.
Desiree was light-hearted, pretty
young creature, with gay manner and
merry wit. Napoleon, according to
the testimony of the Clary family, was
not oyerattractive. One who knew him
at that time thus describes him:
HE wears threadbare garments and
badly-cleaned. broken-down boots. In
character, he is brusque, sulIsy, prone
TO fits of abstraction. He is born for
mediocrity."
But Desiree was satisfied with him.
She found him all that heart could
wish. To be sure he was poor, but that
was a disability which could be
amended.
In May, 1895, Napoleon left Marseilles
for Paris. whence he wrote peremptor-
lily to Mime. Clary, urging her TO follow,
buy house, and live there with Desiree.
The courtry-bred mother and daughter
were aghast. Paris seemed to them

cd their transportation TO Dyea free of
cost. He must, however, land them
himself, the company declining all re-
sponsibility for this part of the work.
A short stop was made at Juneau, and
two days later he found himself on the
beach at Dyea with his belongings and
feeling utterly at loss how to proceed.
How to handle this formidable outfit
was n puzzle. On board vessel he was
at home, but horse was an animal OF
which he knew very little and here
were three OF them besides the heap
OF miscellaneous articles piled on the
rocky single.
IL was plain that they must be moved
before the tide came in, and with a
sailors knowledge OF knots he soon
dashed the burdens on the backs of the
raw-boncd animals and succeeded in
getting them 10 the town safely.
a small tent was among his newly
acquired possessions and he proceeded
to pitch il as best he could, pilirg his
goods outside. He set up his little
sheet-iron stove and was going for wa

animals. who launched out viciously at
him with his hoof, sending him TO the

broken rib and his left arm badly

THE CORSETS TRIUMPH.
Medical Men of Europe Have Pro-
nounced IL an Essential Item
of Feminine Apparel.

After all the abuse that has been lev
eled at the corset, after all the outpour-
ings and Trades of the rational" dress
advocates and health faddists against
an item of dress without which IL is
well-nigh impossible for any woman to
look really Wei, honor has at last been
paid to il by a medical man. His plea
for the corset is based both on artistic
and hygienic grounds. Lately there
was on view at Dresden a collection OF
pictures by Cranach, who lived during
a period when the corset was not in tho
fashion. A careful survey of these
paintings revealed 10 the medical critic
two very important facts, one being
that the women subjects were all suf-
ferng from curvature of the spine;
while the second-a natural conse-
quence OF the frst--was that not soli-
tary female figure in the canvases
seemed to wear clothes properly. I'M
hesitatingly, therefore, the conclusion
was arrived at that corsets are essential
TO the female form divine, both from
the doctors and the modiste's point OF
view IL is TO be hoped, therefore, that
no more nonsense will be talked about
the beauty or the heathfulness of tho
corsetless figure. That excessively
tight-lacing is pernicious il needs no
second Daniel come TO judgment TO tell
us. Common-sensc should guide every
woman in this matter; but IL some arc
foolish. MS some ever will be In all mat
tiers, il is manifestly absurd that all
should be condemned. There should be
no fashion as TO waists, for this must
obviously lead TO abuse; but, on tho
be regarded as one OF fashions essen
tial adjuncts, and the wise doctor will
recognize IL, too, as an equally essen
tial item of feminine apparel.-Ladys

sition and second letter from Napo-
leon was left unanswered.
He was now at the lowest ebb OF his
fortunes, and il could hardly help seem
ing to him that his betrothed had aban-
doned him. AS for her, she had heard
that he had, in his poverty, accepted
money obligations from Nine. Tallien,
and that he was counting, at her house,
rich and noble lady named Nine. de
Beauharnais. All appeared TO be over
between them.
Soon Napoleon himself declared that
the relations between them must be
ended; his feelings had altered. Desiree
wept. and owned that she loved him
still; but on the advice OF her family she
released him from his promise. In
1896 he married Josephine de Beauhar-
nais, and then began the brilliant
march OF his rising fortunes.
Desiree also drfted to Paris, where
she became immensely popular, and in
170S she married Gen. Bernadotte, then
minister of war.
The upward steps OF her husband are
well known. lie accepted the rank of
prince royal Of Sweden, and in 1918 he

monarch who is known TO us as the
king of Tunis. The latter rcigncd for
three years only, and was broken on

CHAPTER v.
RIDER GETS A SURPRISE.

Obed Rider was far from easy in his
mind as the train sped on, leaving San
Francisco behind. He had slept on
board the vessel the previous night I'M
I'll the noise of the second mate arous-
| ing the captain had awakened him.
They did not call him, knowing the en-
nifty that had existed between himself
and Tom. but he overheard enough to
tell him that Tom was alive, although
badly hurt and out Of his head with
| fever.
He knew Tom was in utter ignorance
of the identity of his assailant, but had
he been aware of the loss of the belt?
Would the skipper remember the time
he had seen the mate coming out Of
Toms room and place any new sig
nificance on the incident?
| A guilty conscience made him imag-
inc all sorts of dangers to himself, and
| he trembled each time the train stopped
at station lest an officer should be
in wait for him.
But nothing OF the kind happened,
and in due time he reached Seattle,
Here things seemed more encouraging,
! for he was fortunate enough TO find n
man who had engaged passage on a
| steamer for Skaguay and Dyea, which
sailed the same day. The man had re-
ceived telegram announcing the dan
gerous illness of his wife, and was eager
TO leave Seattle by the next train.
The mate happened to be the first
man he met, and the latter soon came
10 terms with him, and hurried on board
to secure his quarters. He kept him
self out of sight as much as possible,
but when the lines were cast off the
following day and the City of Seattle
steamed out of the harbor he drew q
long breath of relief, and said, half
| aloud:
| "We're off at last, and I'm safe now"
He found that his ticket entitled him
| to n stateroom, and that the trip from
Seattle to Dyea usually occupied about
five days. All his fellow passengers
were wild with Impotence to reach the
land of gold. and now that he felt safe
from pursuit he eagerly listened TO the
stories of wonderful wealth found by
lucky miners, for each one made it
more probable that the papers he had
secreted about him were genuine evil
dence, a fact which at times he was ir-
clined 10 doubt.
He had paid the returning miner $500
for his ticket and outfit, the latter in

Making a child TOO Quiet.

Play is the proper and natural outlet
for "A child's thoughts. TO restrain his
motion is 10 drive back his living fancy
into the recesses OF his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced to-

over stories TO themselves; but Ia Is an
unsatisfactory substitute for dramatic
action. And IL is also morally injurious,

was difficult TO think of her as the first
lady of the land. Yet she has been Mr..
Kruger's constant helpmeet through
all the years OF his public life, and their
affection for each other seems TO have
grown with each succeeding year. She
is Mr.. Kruger's second wife, and was a
Miss Du Plessis, name of prominence
in South Africa. Kruger's first wife
was an aunt of Miss Du Plessis, and bore
him one son, who died. Sixteen chill

riage, and of those seven are living. The
girls are comfortably married to burgh-
ers in and about Pretoria, and the boys
take an active interest in the army.

GAELIC GREETINGS.
In Them the blessings OF God Are
Frequently and Heartily
Invoked.

On stormy day you arrive unexpect'
edly after a long journey. In English
your friends would probably say: is
it possible that you came from Galway
to-day?" But in Gaelic: "And is 1t
from Galway you came to-day, God
bless you'll" This phrase is also added
after any reference TO children or ami
mails, to show that the speaker is well
disposed towards them. No one would
say: "That is fine cow" without add
ing God bless her!" A similar bless
ing is invoked on wounds and sores
shown to anyone; indeed, in the high
lands on such occasions people make an
elementary sign of the cross over the
wound, although in ordinary circum-
stances they would never be guilty OF
such Catholic practice.
The very mention of injuries or acct
dents is accompanied by some short
ejaculation TO ward off similar evils
from the speakers; in English: God
save the mark" in Gaelic, practically
the same. In the same way we have
"The Lord between us and harm!" in
Gaelic, God between us and all evil
and harml" or Far from us all harml"
In fear or alarm, God save us and bless
ns!" God forever with us!" Gross of
Christ about usl" God with us and
Mary and the Domhnach!" the last
word in this case being used, l think, in
its sense of shrine for sacred relics, not
in the meaning of the Sunday. In anx-
iety, "My soul to God and Mary!" This
Is also used in the highlands. Best
known of all is the cruel grief or pain,
"A wirral wirra! Mhuire! Mhuire!"
20 Mary, Mary!" and "A wirra is
throca! A Mhuirc is truagh!" 20 Mary,
how sadl" This confidence in the
Blessed Virgin breathes through the

The injury was soon located, and Aft

set the matter right. Capt. Scott said:
What on earth brought you here {?
Have you been home lately? Did you
see my boy?"
The mate had done considerable
thinking during the past few minutes.
After the first surprise was over he had
rapidly determined upon his course,
and he now shook his head. replying:
sim afraid can't give you much
good news from home, cap'n."
His eyes fell as he spoke, but the
other was too eager 10 notice.

with his eyes cast down.
Without a word the captain turned
on his heel and disappeared. 1t was
half an hour before he returned, and
there was such change in his rugged
features that even the mate felt com
passion for him. But he had no alter.
native. Anything to prevent Toms
father from learning the truth. He
had told his story, and now he must be
prepared with the details. Fortunate.

given him time to rapidly sketch out a

would be safe.
