THE QUEENS POSITION.
What ]. o. Carter Said About Her En-
dorsing David.

EDITOR STAR: The statement in
an interview with me published in the
Advertiser of this morning hardly ex-
pressed my views correctly. In answer
to the reported rumor that the Queen
had furnished Prince David with let
ter endorsing his candidacy as a dele
gate, 1 said it was extremely improb-
able. My reason for saying so was, be-
cause in my opinion the Queen would
refrain from expressing a preference in
order to avoid any misunderstanding of
her views on political issues; unless
conditions may arise that will make II
imperative for her to speak in the in
terests of her people.

"Will you prevent it?" demanded

But Florence. who had anxiously
noticed the rising wrath of the two
men, now interposed.

gently; has been very Ill for months.

Her voice was choked with tears.
William listened in perplexity; what
ever wrath he had cherished against
his future father-in-law, this news
disarmed him.
Il had no thought of this" he said,

He put his arm around the weeping
girl. But this movement. the quiet
confidence with which he asserted the
rights of a betrothed lover, enraged
Harrison to the utmost; his hands
clenched as il he longed to tear the
couple apart, and his voice sounded
hoarse, almost stified.

Ovsrcame Him.
The force of childhood recollections
and the truth of the quotation, "A
touch of nature makes the whole world
akin" were shown graphically by lit
tie incident in a restaurant the other
day, says the Bangor Wing. A quiet
looking, middle-aged man of prosper
GUS appearance was eating his dinner
when another well-dressed man took q
seat opposite him. After giving his Or
der in bluff, genial manner, the new
conner took sip of water and faced
around. Suddenly queer expression
came over his face, as he watched at
tentively the actions of his yis-a-vis,
and, apparently, without realizing what
he was doing, he blurted out in loud
tone: well, well, WE'LL" Every one

CHAPTER Nv.

At last, the outbreak of the war fur
nished the long-desired opportunity for
an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would never accept and, on his
refusal, withdrew his promise. In this
way he had a semblance of justice on
his side. and Roland's refusal was de-
scribed under the most hateful colors.
Florence was neither energetic nor in
dependent. She had been brave so
long as William stood at her side and
she was sure, of his love and protec-
ton. Alone she was unable to contend
with her father and Edward. and now

her hand at any cost. At last, sup
posing herself deserted by the man she
loved, she yielded to these creatures
and gave up her resistance.
The young girl was suddenly startled
from her reverie by broad, bright bar
of sunshine. The blinds of the glass
doors leading out upon the terrace had
been opened, and a man appeared, in
light summer suit, with a broad
btimmed straw hat pulled so low over
his brow that his features could
scarcely be distinguished. The visitor,
strange to say, came through the gar
den, instead of using the main en-
trance, and now, unannounced, hur-
riedly entered the drawing-room. The
young lady involuntarily took a step
toward the table, on which stood a
bell.
'F'lorence!"
Sh6s started, for she recognized the
voice, then the features, and with a
cry of mingssi fear and joy she held
out both arms to him.

He was already at her side and
clasped her passionately in his arms,
