constitute reigning family, though
their principality is small.
Queen Wilhelmina celebrated the
twentieth anniversary of her birth
day on August 81, and it was then
expected that she would announce
her choice at the banquet given in her
honor at Amsterdam. She only prom
ised that she would do so before
Christmas.
Not since Queen Victoria ascended
Englands throne, 81 years ago, have
so many princes sued for one lady's
hand.
1t is absolutely imperative that the
queen should marry without delay.
The security of Holland, the perma-
nence of the dynasty and the contin-
uance of the country in quiet, mon
archical ways depend upon this event.
She is the last representative in Hol-
land of the ancient and illustrious
house of Orange, which is forever en-
deared to the Dutch people by the
services of William the Silent. All
her near relatives are descended on
Tile DdJCIndl oluC lIOlh SOlHt NCIllldu
house and there is nothing the Dutch
fear more than absorption into the
German empire.
The young queen early showed
symptoms of independence in the
matter of choosing a husband. She
rejected her cousin, Prince Bernard
of Weimar, because he was so
ugly. Nevertheless, it was confidently
expected that she would finally marry
a man indicated to her for reasons of
state.
1t was reported some time ago that
she would certainly accept the suit
of the German crown prince. 1t is
an open secret in court circles that
she was deeply in love with Frederick
William, fact which was substan-
tiated during her recent visit to Ber-
lin, where they were always together.
When Kaiser Wilhelm stopped at
Schweringen after his visit to Queen
Victoria it was rumored that a match
had been arranged. 1t is believed
that the queen declined on account of
the deep-rooted antipathy of her sub
jects to the Germans and their fear
of being absorbed in the German en-

FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

FATHER AND DAUGHTER.
After Sprague had left her. Agnes,
shaken by the conflicting emotions of
the day, had gone to her room to rest
and to prepare for the interview
which she meant to have with her
father on the subject of her lover
and of Chatham.
Having received word that Murdock
would remain in his study during the
rest of the afternoon, she had taken
time to reflect upon what she meant
to say, and how she meant to say it,.
Her visit was not prompted by the
desire of a daughter to confide the
great happiness of her life to the low
ing sympathy of an affectionate par
ent; but Agnes was punctilious in the
performance of what she considered
to be her duties, great and small, and
she counted it among those duties to
obtain, or at any rate to seek, the pa
ternal sanction of her choice of y
husband
Her knock at the door of Murdocli's
study was answered in the chemists
quiet voice:
"Come in"
AS she opened the door, Murdock
advanced to meet her. He seemed to
come from the direction of the ex.
tension.
Miss Murdoch shifted the air.
isn't there leak of gas?" she in
quired.
YES" replied Murdoch; 81 have
just stopped leak in the laboratory.
Won't you take a chair, Agnes?"
She felt his calm, searching glance
upon her; and, in spite of her prep
aration, she grew embarrassed, rs
was her wont, in her fathers pres
ence.
did Mr.. Chatham wait to see you
this afternoon?" she asked, after a
momentary silence.
Murdock observed her narrowly.
Yes; Chatham has been here to-
day. / did not know that you had
seen him.
Il could not help seeing him; for
he forced his way into the parlor, III
spite of all the servants could do to
prevent him."
An almost imperceptible furrow ap-
peared between the chemists eyes.
'Has he been annoying you with
his attentions?"
The words were spoken in Muir
docks usual tones; but Agnes saw
something in her fathers eyes' and
in the firm lines of his mouth which
sent cold shiver down her spine, and
caused her pity TO go out to the un-
fortunate young man who had Offend
ed her.
Perhaps he is more to be pitied
than blamed" she suggested, gently.
MY interview with him was certain
ly not pleasant; but 1 bear him no
malice"
"Tell me about it," said Murdock,
slowly.
Agnes gave her version of the visit,
in which, instinctively, she softened,
as much as possible, the passion and
brutality displayed by the account
ant.
