party returning openly to the palace of
La Granja.
Accordingly. Rollo set out, with Concha
still wrapped in the cloak which covered
he- pages dress. Rollo would gladly have
carried the little princess, but Isabel had
taken SO overwhelming a fancy to Concha
that she could not be induced to quit her
side for a moment Indeed, she declared
her intention of leaving her mother and
Dona susanna and returning to Aranjuez
with Concha so soon as her message should
be delivered
The sergeant received them at the garden
door, which he had SO carefully watched
all night. There was kindlier look than
usual upon his leathern and saturnine fea-
lures.
IT Judge, senor," he said, as he saluted
Rollo, that you have more to tell me than
I have to tell you
'In any case, let me hear your story
first" said Rollo; mime can keep"
"In brief, then, having your authority"

exceedingly useful to us in the future. But

passed him rapidly, and with the princess
still clinging to her hand, she passed up
stairs. The sergeant looked after her and
her young charge.
You are sure Of that lady's discretion?'
he said.
II have proved it to the DEATH" answered
the young man briefly and a little haugh-
tily.
The sergeant shrugged his shoulders as
If he would have said with the Basque
friar. ut is none OF my business" But
instead he took up his report to his SUI
perior and said: I'VE buried the body Of
the poor woman, Dona susanna, within the
precincts Of the Collegiate
And an hour ago / buried the body of

For an instant the sergeant looked as
tonished, as indeed we'll he might, but he
restrained whatever curiosity he felt and
only said, You Will let me hear what hap

To Reform women,s Dress.

Princess Ysenburg in the North American Review.
The leading idea of reform in womans
dress is that every garment ought TO fit
according to the natural lines of the fig
ure, without any impeachment, without
pinching or exclusion of free air that is
supposed to penetrate as freely as possible
through the clothing. L am afraid that
elegance will be the sufferer for some time
to come. for the medical celebrities, who
are thinking only of the practical side and
wishing to give relief to their patients suf-
fering through their mode of dressing,
leave II to those whose profession IL is TO
think how to introduce their planned re-
forms into practical use. Yet this form Of
suffering of elegance will only wear so
long as fashion ignores those reformatory
views. II the leaders of fashion would take
the reform of woman's dress in hand and
go in boldly for 1t, breaking with the ira
ditions of high collars and pinched waists.
Louis Quinze heels, wells. &c, the dawn OF
the reformed woman's dress would quickly
come the scale would turn in accordance,
and the fashion of today would be scorned

The celebration OF Succoth. or the lfe-

The word ''succoth" has a more than in

cal history of the Hebrews. There has
been much interesting discussion about 1t
OF late years. 1t was in an ancient tow a

Then while the Basque Teodoro did his
office over his dead brother Concha kneeled

rude image of the cruciix over that fierce
little head and sorely tortured body. He
who had cast out so many devils would
surely pardon and understand So at least
she thought. Rollo watched her, and
though brought up to be a good Presbyte-
rian by his father, he knew that this little
foolish Concha might yet teach him how to
pray.
Then Rollo made the girl, whom the scene
had somewhat overweight, go Off to a Sc
Guided part of the garden and wash in the
clean, cool water of a fountain while he
remained to shovel in the soil and pack 1t
well down uP.>a the bodies of the dead, who
had served his purpose so faithfully. Last
of all he unyoked and fed the oxen, leaving
them solemnly munching their fodder,
blinking their meek eyes and Illuminating
upon the eternal sameness of things IN their
serene bovine world. He came out strip
ped himself to the skin and washed in one
of the deserted kitchens from which Broth
er Domingo, some time almoner and cook
to the Ermita of San Ildefonso, had forever
departed
This being completed to his satisfaction,
he went out to find Concha, who, her face
radiant with the water Of the Guadarama
(and other things which the young morning
had brought herr met him as he came to
her through the wood.
She held up her face to be kissed as SIM
ply and naturally as a child Death was
all about them, but of a truth these two
lived.
1t was now Rollo's chief desire to get
back to the palace and find out what had
happened there during his absence. He
had heard the rattle of musketFy fire again
and again during the night, and he feared,
as much from the ensuing silence as from
the escape of the daughter of Munoz, that
some disaster must have occurred. He
would have started at once to reconnoiter,
but Brother Teodoro hearing of his inten-
ton, volunteered to find out whether the
gypsies had wholly evacuated the neigh
borhood.
There was a private path from the
grounds Of the hermitage which led into
those of the palace. BY this he hastened
off and it was no long time before the
Basque returned, carrying the news that
not only was the town clear and the gar
dens of the palace free from marauders.
but that Rollo's people were still in full
possession Of La Granja. He had even been
able to speak with one of the royal SER
wants for an instant, a man with whom he
had some acquaintance. But this confer

interrupted by certain old woman Of

A NEW WHITE HOUSE.
Comment on the Crowded Condition
of the Executive Mansion.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
1t Is obvious to every one that Il is time
the nation built a new residence for its
chief magistrate. The private apartments
of the President of the United States are
so limited that he has only five sleeping
rooms. President Roosevelt has six chill
dren in his family, and Il is understood he
will have to convert the billiard room In
the White House into convenient quarters
for his family. The present White House
has been constructed over one hundred
years, and the nation needs a new resi-
dence for the executive. 1t need not be
grand or imposing. but should be comfort
able, spacious and elegant, and the pres
ent White House should be given up to
purely executive Offices and that is the
very thing for which 1t is specially adapted.
We would not propose to build house
outside the city limits of Washington, but
buy ten-acre square within the city linz
its. 1t is not needed to be in the most
fashionable quarter Of the city. but merely
a space of ten acres, and any healthfnl por-
ton will do. 1t is not necessary that the
stables should be located in the same
square. In fact, they should not be there.
The telephone can in moment summon
the coachman and carriage from the street
in which they are located. The structure
should be spacious, tasteful and elegant
inside and outside-a residence becoming
ton in the world. 1t is better that the resi-
dence should be within the city limits as
people can then walk to the presidential
mansion. and avoid hiring a carriage. Some
persons propose to erect a presidential
mansion in a great park outside of WASH
ington. We think this out Of place. Ii is
too royal The ten acres of land could be
purchased, the house could be completed in
every respect and be tastefuuy furnished
at a price not one-half the cost of single
battleship. We have plenty of battleships
already. 1t costs deal of money to main
tain them, and after forty or fifty years
they are broken up and sold for old iron.
but a presidential mansion, built tastefully
and substantially, Will endure and be ser
viceable for more than a hundred years.
and it would cost but little more to main
tain it than is allotted to the present Exec
utive Mansion.
While We have plenty OF money in the
treasury this question should be agitated
and some courageous member of Congress
that has both pluck and sagacity should
introduce a bill for the immediate construc-
ton of a new presidential mansion: and
few will howl against such an expenditure
except the socialists and anarchists and
those who believe the President of the
United States should be kept in narrow
quarters to prove that We are a republic,
There are tens of thousands of Americans
who live in better houses and have far bet
ter equipments in their households than
the President of the United States is en-
loving today.

A moment after Concha entered the ROOM

her by the hand, perused her from head TO

1t was not. however, SO simple matter
as Rello supposed to obtain an audience
with the Queen Regent of Spain. Her
daughter, willing but by no means eager
to see her mother had at last been taken
to her room by one of the serving men,
been so greatly stimulated by La GiraIda q
declared intention Of shooting either of
them who should fail from his post for an
instant.
TO the same gold-laced functionarv unon
his return Rollo made his request.
Tell her majesty that those gentlemen
who last night defended the palace wish
to be admitted into her presence in order
of remaining longer in a house exposed
alike to the fattaeks of bloodthirsty villains
and to the ravages of the plague"
Her majesty being otherwise engaged
is not able to receive the gentlemen" was
the civil but unsatisfactory answer brought
back. ~ sd5
Rollo stood a moment fuming, biting his
thumb nail. aas he had fashion of doing
when thinking deeply. Then he asked a
sudden question.

sergeant shrugged his shoulders very
slightly, as only an Andalusian or q French

And Sergt. Cardono tapped his brow with

An Excuse For n Pardon.

When the stern Duke Of Wellington
was prime minister under George ",
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con-
stantly outwitted him. One Of his
earliest official acts was to bring be-
fore her a court martial death sentence
which he expected her to sign as a
matter Of course. A soldier was to be
executed for desertion. and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes.
full of tears, to his face, saying
Have you nothing to say In behalf
of this poor manY
Nothing" said the duke, standing at
attention like one of his own privates:
"he has deserted three times"

ed the queen as If she were asking for
the life of her dearest friend
well, your majesty, he certainly is
a bad soldier, but there was somebody
who spoke for his good character. He

life"

heartfelt tones, and before the aston
ished duke could utter word of pro
test she had written across the paper
the word "Pardoned."
