F OREsGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

When Ferdinand of Coburg ascended the throne of Bulgaria he was justly accounted one of the wealthiest princes of Europe. Today he is fnsoIvent and in such financial straits that the condi- tion of affairs at the court of Sofia has developed into a public scandal. In deed, th= principal occupation of the diplomats accredited to the Bulgarian ruler seems to be to dun him in behalf of countrymen of theirs. who, failing all other means, have placed their claims against the prince in the hands of their various governments for col lection. Thus the Austrian diplomatic agent at Sofia was obliged the other day to inform tho prince that he had been directed by his government Co press for the settlement of a paltry claim of $500 or $10O held by q Carls- bad haberdasher and shirtmaker against his highness for wares sold. but not paid for. The prince promised the Austrian envoy to have the matter attended to at once. But four days la ter the haberdasher received a letter from the princes private secretary urging him 10 accept in lieu of pay ment the title If court haberdasher to the prince of Bulgaria" This offer was contemptuouzly declined.
 A well known portrait painter who was commissioned by the prince to paint a portrait of his dead wife. the Prime ss Marie Louise, after clamoring for his money for three years has at length been forced to accept a com promise in the shape of 50 per cent. of the price agreed upon for the picture and Bulgarian decoration, while one hears of duly authenticated stories of musicians employed to play at state concerts and state Eanquets given by the prince, and then having their bills of $20 compromised on the basis of 60 per cent. of the amount originally stip- ulated. In fact. the financial straits of the prince are of such a public charac- ter that h. is unable to get any more credit, either at home or abroad.
 Nor is it only his own purs5, and that of his mother, the Gged Princess Glenn entine of Coburg. which he has eX- hausted He has likewise bankrupted the Bulgarian treasury, all through his insane desire to posture as a full fiedged monarch and to run his pinch beck court on the same magnificent

This young man smiled indulgently
as he put down his glass and daintily
touched his lips and waxed mustache
with his handkerchief.
"My dear Mrs. Lancaster" he cried,
"you ladies are such delicious bundles

your hearts, have these bloodthirsty
fiends run at large, but as soon as one
is about to suffer for his crime you fill

hold was under stress of excitement
that wore sharply on the nerves of the
ladies, who momentarily expected to
hear of the capture. Grim curiosity had
drawn nearly all the negroes to the
swamp, and the plantation presented a
deserted aspect that had not rested up
on it since the close of the civil war.
About noon Capt. Wrinkle. who had been
riding from one point of observation to
another, came in to rest and refresh
himself at the punch-bowl of his host.
"The rascal certainly has given them
the slip so far" he said, with unmasked
discomfort, to the colonel and the ladies
on the veranda. As he spoke his glance
was bent designedly on Evelyn's face.
1t was as if he were deliberately trying
to shock her, we'll knowing how she felt
on the matter. 1.-THE sheriff thinks he
is lying under water somewhere with
only his nose out. They are going

Wrinkle bit his lower lip and twisted
his mustache. He gave her his eyes
threateningly for moment, and then
took another tack.
"Fanshaw certainly is making him

around shouting like ranting parson

CHAPTER VII.

That morning the negroes on Col.
Hasbrooke's plantation, being the first
to rise, came first into possession of
the grewsome, news. Many of them had
assembled on the steps of the veranda
in the rear of the mansion and were
speaking of the awful details in low
tones.
"Ef de do lay hans on 'im," opined
Ephraim, the ANTICIPATED and disabled
carriage driver of the colonels father,
+'Marse Ratcliff couldn't TEX i'm mile

"Now you err talkin', Eph," agreed

whats all this about?" The voice
came from the upper floor of the We
randa, where the colonel stood in dress
ing-gown and slippers, his round, rubi-
cund face aglow from his morning
bath.
Half dozen negroes essayed to ex.
plain, but the result was noisy con.
fusion of tones and words. The colonel
stamped his foot and swore furiously.
This left Ephraim with the floor; he
was too deaf to hear his masters com.
mand for silence. The colonel heard
the story from his lips.
I'm my swamp, eh?" he exclaimed,
when the carriage driver had finished
80 pretty come off! The next thing we
hear all the cutthroats in Georgia will
be hiding in my corn house and gin. and

upturned faces, the colonel reiterated

ly. you think your old father ought
to run the world. Why, 1 am absolutely
helpless. If telegraphed the governor
to order out the state militia, they
couldn't get here in time, and if they
could these determined mountain men
would make it hot for them. Twenty
lives would be lost instead of one"
Just then breakfast was announced.
The colonel gallantly offered his arm
to Mrs. Lancaster, and as she took it
she started to draw Evelyn along with
her. But the girl drew back.
II don't care to go in now," she fall
tered. II had cup of coffee in my
room. Oh, am SO afraid they will
hang him!"
"Well, shall come out to you soon,
DEAR" said the widow, tenderly. "Wait
for me-"
Seated at window in the drawing
room-she felt too nervous to remain on
the veranda alone-Evelyn had a good
view of the road running along the
edge of the swamp. She could see the
ever-strengthening chain OF men, their
guns and pistols cleaning in the sun
light. To her the sight was more aw-
full than had it been an army in bat
tie array. Presently she saw figure
on a white horse moving along the line
of men, pausing now and then as if
in argument. She decided that the
horse was Ronald Fanshaw's-that he
was the rider. Something told her that
he was feeling as she felt and that he
was trying 20 influence his neighbors
to refrain from illegal conduct. She
watched the rider so closely that the
strain on her eyes produced blur in
her vision. He was almost out of sight
now, and she went out on the veranda
to get more extended view of the
road bending round the swamp. She
saw black lobe, one of her fathers
servants, coming up the avenue from
the road just traversed by Ronald.
lobe had been to the post office and
was bringing back bag OF letters and
papers. AS he handed her the bag she
observed half-frightened look in his
eyes.
"Tobe," she asked almost afraid to
trust her voice to calm expression,
'who is the man on the white horse?"
DE oldest Fanshaw young man,
missile" was the answer.
What is he doing?" she asked, with
bated breath.
Hes powerfully upset, young miss.

AS lobe went round the house to.
wards the negro quarter, Evelyn stood
holding the bag absent-mindedly. Hel
heart was in the throat.
"How different he is from the rest
Of men!" she thought. "Ah, he is my
| hero! He is my hero! God bless him!'
She opened the bag and spread thu
letters out on the hall table. their ad
dresses upwards. There were five OF

dressed in girlish handwritings. Fol
