CHAPTER XIV.

In ner own chamber sat the young
Lady Montfort, her white hands list
lessly folded in her lap, her eyes wan.
dering through the open window over
the noble park, stretched as far as her
vision could reach. Her lips smiled: a
flush was on her cheeks; but the smile
held a proud. dlsdainful bitterness. and
the flush was like the reflection of hid
den sunlight upon ice.
There had been no disputing her title
TO her place. The childless mother had
opened wide her arms and heart, but
the young wife OF widow. according as
Fate should decree her. had accepted
her caresses rather than returned
them. and it had been the older woman
who had felt the chill.
Yet there was triumph in that grow
ing smilr-triumph ana content, min
gIed with its bitterness.
The Lady Montfortr y she murmured.

Develop Rascally Children.
An experiment has lately been tried
in N OF the public schools OF Mil
waukee and by it's opponents pro-
nounced a failure, says Harper's Ba-
gar. The aim of its originator. Mr..
r. J. 0'Hanlon, was this-to introduce
into the school life OF the child a form
OF training which would equip him for
duties Of citizenship on his entrance
into the world of grown-up men and
women A form OF government was
therefore introduced into the school.
which was modelled upon that exist
ing in the city Of Milwaukee itself. A
mayor was appointed, aldermen were
elected, a constitution adopted. There
were judges, policemen, comptrollers
and no end OF other officers. The best
principles OF the best governed were
laid down and the boys and girls
there was no distinction OF sex-were
set about governing themselves. But
the amount OF chaos and corruption
that ensued brought protests from the
parents and even the scholars them
selves. Studies were neglected and
brides given and taken. Instead of a
lesson OF self-government being ac-
quired, all the evils of the most cor
rupt form of municipal

couraged, says that only the prejudices
or a community were against him:
that, given a longer time, his system
would have proved itself. 1T is the
height of absurdity." he says. ito make
the school an ~autocracy and to SUBJ
stitute an external conscience for the
right of s~elf-control." But, with votes
bought and sold for peanuts and pen

enough TO learn how bad municipal
government might be when necessity
for action confronted himl Still, it
would have been interesting to know
whether Mr.. O,Hanlon was right and
whether a longer trial would have
proved a real success, demonstrating
beyond question that, even among chill
dren, the principle of self-goyernment
has in 1t all the elements for bring

which at first seem always to be en-
gendered by 1t.

General Grants fondness for chill
dren is illustrated in the following true
story, which has never been published
before. 1t is an experience which
twins had with the great Union soldier
at the close of his second Presidential
term.
General Grant was stopping at the
famous old hotel at Cape May, known
as Congress Hall, which was burned in
the disastrous fire Of the fall of 1878,
when many of the landmarks of the re-
sort were swept away.
One Sunday afternoon during Gen.
eral Grants sojourn he was walking in
front of the rotunda with the proprie-
tor, Colonel ]. F. Cake. who at that
time also conducted well known
hosiery in Washington. Colonel Cake
espied coming down the street one Of
his friends, father with his two
sons, who we're the twins.
General, here come two youngsters
twins" said Colouel Cake; Il be-
lieve that you will be unable to tell one
from the other"
1--WE will see." was the distinguished
Generals reply. Call them over"
The father and his two sons crossed
the street to the pavement in front Of
the hotel rotunda. The General shook
| hands with the father and the two
boys-the latter being shy and awed at
the sight of the great man before them.
General Grant looked at the lads,
rubbed his eyes as If to increase the
powers of his vision, and finally, after
searching examination, exclaimed.
laughingly:-
Il can see no difference. You have
! won, Colonel"
Each of the boys had book under
his arm, for they had been to Sunday
| school,
The General was in playful humor.
| He took the book from one of the lads
and, opening it, said
"Try TO read it upside down."
The boy bashfully made the attempt,
but it was too much Of task.
Il cannot read it that way" replied
the boy. "but ] will the other way"
The twin then read sentence with
the book turned in the proper man
ner.
The other twin also failed to read
his book upside down, but read a SEN
! tence when the page was held rightly.

Turkeys Elaborate Armor,es.

Turkey prides itself on its armOries,
and claims that no other country in
the world can equal them. CONSTANT
nople boasts the roomicst and hand
soonest Of all. The armories there are
like palaces. with all the comforts and
convcniences modern genius can sup
ply. These buildings are all erected
on high ground. and in many cases
strike the eye of the tourist before the
gates Of ConStantipnople are reached.
This is particularly true of the Haidan-

ways arouses the admiration of new
Corners to the Turkish capital. The
armories are surrounded by huge gar
dens with large courts and terraces
and reflect credit upon the Turkish
architects.

Colored Rows esDeIight."

one of the north-end schools last week.
Part of the training of the pupils con-

OF the words.

correctly. When the teacher asked him
to make up a sentence in which the
word should appear the little colored
boy thought Z moment and then spoke
