WAS HIS GREATEST TREASURE.

Modest Choice Which an American
Made OF sword.
Somebody was telling just the other
day, of wonderful eastern relic, which
is in the possession of an ex-minister to
Siam, says the Washington Post. 1t
was when the eX-minister was full
fledged representative Of the majesty
Of free people that he was invited out
Of his legation to visit prince, or sub
king, or some other provincial ruler
under the dominion of the king of ST.
am. He was right royalty entertained,
and when the time for his departure
drew near his host desired to load him
down with costly presents.
The American minister refused, again
and again, to take the valuable gifts
pressed upon him, but at last, seeing
that to go away empty handed would
be mortally to insult his princely host,
he decided to take the smallest and
least valuable Of all the things shown
him. He looked about the treasure room
and saw hanging on one wall perfectly
plain old sword Its scabbard was not
jeweIled, and its hilt was quite plain.
Surely he might take so small gift as
that. He signified his desire to possess
the weapon, and it was given him.
When he went back to the capital his
majesty expressed a royal curiosity to
know what the prince had given him.
The sword was shown him. His ma
jesty fairly bubbled with excitement.
That sword, Why, he had been trying
for years and years to get possession of
it. He had offered the prince its weight
and double its weight in gold and pre-
nious stones. but the prince had always
refused to part with it. 1t was his
+oric sword, a sacred sword. and scarce
" less precious to the prince than his |
crown itself 1t was hundreds of years |
Did and the king would have given his |
eye teeth for it.
The American had asked for some !
hing vastly more precious than any Of |
he gorgeous jewels he had refused to
accept. and Oriental politeness had
granted his request. He had brought |
away with him something that all the
power of the mighty monarch himself
lad not been able to obtain.

CHAPTER XIII.

Let us now return to Miles, whom we
left on the platform at Portsmouth, near
ly beside himself with rage, and almost
blind with passion.
He was a young man of prompt action,
and once he was reused he did nothing
by halves. He hurried off to hotel and
penned the blotted note we have already
seen between Mrs. Brabazon's twitching
fingers. He then took the night train for
Aldershot, where the second battalion Of
his regiment was now undergoing the
agonies of inspection previous to its de-
parture for the Cape.
Zone thing was certain" he said to
himself emphatically; "they should not
sail without him." The mere idea Of
remaining in England, to be harried by
his friends about his broken engagement,

lct'orr county pays sS A month to
the Greenwood Commonwealth for
publishing tie proceedings Of its
board Of supervisors, Aberdeen Ex-
amluCr
You are mistaken. The Board Of
Supervisors Of Lcforc county pays
10000 per year for printing its pro-
cccdiugs and that is distributed
cquaaIly between three palerS. The
amount is a mere pi.tancc but the
board is not ccnSurable for 1t. The
papers have not asked for an increase.
Double the amount now paid would
not be more than It is worth.
