HANDSOME GIFT FOR CzARINA.

When the Car and Czarina we're In
Paris few years ago they visited dur
ing one afternoon the wonderful col
lection OF Gobelin tapestries. and as
one piece after another was shown
them, they did not fail to express their
warm admiration. The Czarina was
especially captivated by one splendid
specimen of art work--a gorgeous strip
of tapestry representing Marie Antoln-
cite and her children. She studied II
long and earnestly. and often praised
it so highly that Felix Faure, who was
at that time President OF the French
Republic and who accompanied rhs
two sovereigns. politely remarked that
il would give the French people much
pleasure IL Her Majesty would delgn
to accept this piece OF tapestry as q
gift from them.
The Czarina thanked him. and Pres
ident Faure at once prepared to carry
out his promise AS the Gobelln Ia
pestries are national property, he knew
that some formal action was necessary.
and under ordinary circumstances It if
probable that the matter would have
to be brought before Parliament. Az
ter consulting with the members OF the
Cabinet, however. who were just az
anxious as he was TO please the Car
ina. he decided that the easiest way
out OF the difficulty was TO have an
exact copy of this piece OF tapestry
made, and accordingly he sent an or
der to that effect 10 the gentlemen
in charge Of the Gobelin tapestries.
The work was begun at once and has
Just been finished. after four years'
steady labor.

ding the Palgraves to dinner at halt
past eight on the following night.
1t was short notice to be sure. but
the father and son were not likely to
refuse. There were few engagements
they would not have thrown over for
the sake of snatching at the olive
branch held out by Lady Mary Blan-
don.
1t would be greatly to their advant-
age in every way to be able to come
and go freely between Lurlworth Tow
ers and Clevelandsquare. Gossip would
die for one thing; and gossip had been
rife in many quarters since the finding
of the body finally decided by coro-
ner's jury to be that of man I'M
known"
Naturally they were surprised by the
invitation. Naturally they distrusted
and discussed it. and turned it wrong
side out and back again within their
sort in it-some motive which, at all
events, did not spring from love; but,
nevertheless, it was a challenge to be
accepted, The note, which was writ
ten by Lady Mary's reluctant fingers in
the morning, was received at the Moat-
ed Grange on the afternoon of the
same day, and answered without an
hours delay. Randall appreciated his
dear cousin Mary's kindness, and the
informality of the brief notice was one
of the invitations many charms.
So Lady Mary read, when she opened
her correspondence at the breakfast
table next morning, and having let
scornful eyes pass over the sheet, took
it aisdainfully between thumb and fin
ger, and flung it into the spark of fire
that blazed upon the hearth.
Nobody else was to be asked. AS
Randall Palgrave dared to put it, it
was to be quite family affair" that
little dinner. There would be Lady
Mary, and Savernake would appear, Of
course; and it went without saying
that the Duke would be of the party.
AS to the last contingency there was
no doubt in Lady Marys mind, or Saw
ernake's. There was some scheme on
foot, and in all probability the mine
which the young man secretly planned
to spring, would be exploded during
dinner. There was a certain interest
in looking forward to the unknown
event which was to take place which
animated even Lady Mary's resentful
bosom.
Maynard was at home all the after
noon, though invisible. But when
Lady Mary had purposely put on her
plainest and least becoming evening
gown and descended in state of dig
nified sulks to the drawing room, Saw
ernake met her with an open letter in
his hand.
will you read this, Lady Mary?" he
asked, and there was a puzzled frown
on the thick eyebrows that met above
the eagle nose.
She took the creamy sheet, which
had her own crest upon it., and saw a
