A Stormy Interview.

A Stormy Interview.
Paul knew he was in for siege as
soon as his eyes fell upon his visitor,
and it required all the fortitude of
which he was possessed to brace him
self for the encounter.
He took her hand in perfunctory
way, and would have Immediately re-
leased it only she refused to let him
go SO easily.
3.Ah! you men forget SO easily. 1t
is the poor, weak, loving women who
have to suffer-" she said, with such
exquisite pain in her voice that Paul
might we'll have been inclined to pity,
only that he knew her so well.
Countess" he said, steadily, with a
stern face, that betrayed his design,
your remembrance of me is very
kind, but surely the present time and
conditions are hardly suitable for a
lady's visit. Had you informed me
IF your presence here, I should have
been pleased to have paid my respects
to you at your hotel"
"Ah! that was what did not wish.
/ am not stopping at a hotel, and they
do not know me here as the Countess
Aimee. Besides-it was my desire to
surprise you"
You certainly accomplished that"
II thought, believed, you would
be overjoyed to see me. and l had
looked forward with such eagerness
to this meeting. Since you left Paris

actually thin
She said this so boldly that 1t had no
effect, for he knew 1t was false. If
ever. and, as to her moping, he had no
doubt she had been through constant
round of gayety, breaking new hearts
every week, and accepting generous
presents from her ardent admirers.
THAT is too bad, countess. but you
should not allow cares of state. to wor-
ry you So" he said.
"Ah! you are blind; you will not
see. You want me to tell you openly
1t Is the torment Of that little god
Love that has harassed me. You have
no pity upon a poor woman who,
reigning queen for years, suddenly
finds herself the weakest slave
Il am sorry to hear you say that,
countess" Paul remarked, coldly.
"Sorry!"
The hands fell from the bewitching
face, now pale with sudden anger. and
her sloe-black orbs flashed incipient
lightning as the realization dawned

CHAPTER IX.-{Contlnued)
She was no ordinary woman. this
Partisan countess. He remembered
that he had heard it said she was a
born diplomat and that Louis Ma
poleon would sooner trust any desper-
ate foreign mission to her than to most
Of his representatives.
Why. then, was she in Germany ?
Her appearance on the scene was like
blight to Paul. The conditions had
really been bad enough before, but now
they were rendered doubly serious.
When Hildegarde and her compan-
ion arose to leave the garden, he saw
the countess also make move.
He held his breath when he saw
her brush up against the German
beauty, throw back her veil a moment
and speak rapidly to her, at the same
time pressing note into the hand of
the fairly surprised Hildegarde.
Paul noticed that the countess
dropped her veil again the moment
she left Hildegarde's side.
What was the reason of this scrup-
ulous care?
Did she wish to avoid recognition
by Paul? He had never cared for her,
though dazzled for time by her beau
ty and the scintillating brilliancy of
her intellect. Now he positively hated
the dashing charmer, and could even
see evil befall her with grim compla-
cency.
Hence, it was with renewed interest
and not little satisfaction that he
discovered certain fact.
The countess had a shadow. In her
turn, she was being watched. and
something about the appearance Of the
man who kept her under constant sur
Vigilance gave him the impression that
he belonged to the secret police Of
Berlin.
Then her mission to Baden was no
such dead secret as she might sup
pose, and If she gave her enemies good
and sufficient cause for an arrest, the
beautiful Frenchwoman who dared to
take such risks in order to gain the
royal favor Of Napoleon might see the
inside of a German bastile sooner than
she dreamed, even in her most san
guine moments.
Paul had much to consider while
walking to his lodgings. Being pos
sessed Of means, Paul had very lux
urious establishment, which Karl
shared with him of late.
The old woman who took care of
the several fats. usually waited up,
though Paul could always enter with
his key, and this he did on the present
occasion.
To his surprise, the lights were
turned up. Karl must have reached
home ahead Of him. z-...
With a smile on his lips he alb
ruptly entered the sitting-room to
see the figure of woman rise from
chair by the table where she had been
reading and to feel a cold hand laid
upon his heart as he recognized in his
late visitor the charming enchantress
and shrewd female diplomat, Countess
Aimeei

London, Feb. 10. - The sensation OF
England is the unexpected announce
ment of an alliance e England ana
Japan as watchdogs CT the east. The
Liberal newspapers view the dual al
lance" with mixed feelings, and the
Conservative organs generally applaud
it. But The st. james Gazette (Conserv-
ative) expresses I'm Giiied rapture at
this wide departure frog: British tradi-
tional policy" This paper, however
finds sDlace in the thought that the pol
icy and interests of the United States
are Identical wirh those of Great Brit
am and Japan ana concludes:
Perhaps we shall find when the pol
icy OF Great Britain is definitely
known that the United States is form
ally or informally party to the
league of peace in the far east. AT any
rate, no effort should be spared TO Sc
cure its adhesion"
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
ALLIANCE can be fairly offensive and de-
fensiye, says that it theref re has Il
dangerously wide extension and con
cludes that 1t Dislike Il rather hasty
answer to European hostility.

the south Pixies Peak, $50 miles dis
tant, is painted in somber black against
a horizon of blue And the distance
that intervenes between these two
great peaks-the vision defies descrip-
toni
Picture an angry ocean. Picture the
pillows rolling, raging, and their white
crests almost lashing each other. Pic
ture a scene almost Kaleidoscope, with
changing colors, now differing-now
blending-and you have faint concep-
ton of the beauties and grandeur of
the view. A wild, weird, fascinating,
indescribable waste!
Then you turn to the east and the
inspiration calms. 1t is like seeking
rest from a raging fever by calm re
pose. From anger to love, from storm
to shinei Remove the torn walls of
granite of Longs Peak from the scene
and you have one of absolute quiet and
repose. The front range is clad in its
forests of pine. Sunlight and shadow
play upon this raiment of green like
calcium lights, until you almost be-
lieve the baby mountains clothed in
velvet of the most delicate hue. From
purple to green, to blue, to crimson
and then to the golden yellow painted
by the brush of the great planet of
light. Beyond these foothills, in Ne
braska, the hundreds of lakes look like
coins of silver and the streams take
the appearance of threads of silver
coursing like webs through the level
plains.
1t is, indeed, strange that so little is
known of James Peak. Perhaps it is
because the great king of peaks has
been so well guarded. The great gla-
cier at its feet seems to breathe def
ance. but its surface contemplates a
pleasant walk of a mile after one

finally one ofsthem saw the word dyna-

the stuff and, by gosh, you couldn't

You retire early, as all the miners
do, and are told that it will be neces-
sary to get up at 4 o'clock the next
morning in order to make the four-mile

the sun has drawn the moisture from

A good nights sleep with as many

Standing with party of friends on
the summit of James Peak, the late
Governor Boies of Iowa presented the
lovers of nature with this expressive
gem: 81 never before realized that the
governor of the great state of Iowa
was such a mighty insignificant per-
|sonager' His words were peculiarly
Suggestive of the surroundings. In
/ this vicinity Nature has apparently
clustered her myriad wonders. Pixies
Peak stands alone, the mighty monarch
|of the front range, but guarded by
|pigmy sentinels. James Peak, the
ruler of the Rockies, is guarded by
granite giants. 1t has been provided
with invulnerable fertilization of ice
and granite.
To employ a figurative expression, it
would seem that James Peak, this
LACED bishop of the continent, stood
with his huge arms outspread as If in
|benediction over the white and hoary
heads of his great congregation.
His crown is the crest of the conti-
|nent. Here the God of Nature has de-
|creed the parting of the waters. Stand
ling upon the summit, one can witness
1.-THE division. On the east side, almost
lat your feet, a kindly sunlight melts
the little glaciers of snow and silver
streams trickle down on their course
to the great Atlantic. On the west side
the little streams purl down through
the boulders, fretting as If anxious for
the rest they would receive when safe
lily at home in the calm Pacific.
James Peak is truly the great Con-
|tinental Divide. From its summit the
of four states stands out
las a magnificent panorama. To the
north the Medicine Bow mountains of
Wyoming seem to beg the recognition
of the sight-seer. To the west the Uin-
L tab, or Indian mountains, of Utah rise
in the distance, snow-crowned, but
|draped in haze as if endeavorlng to
hide from the eyes of the curious. On

George is of course willing to act as
guide. He leads you through a park
of pines towering, 1t seems, almost as
high as the mountains. All at once
you pass out of the shadow of the park
and before you, nesting between al
most perpendicular walls of granite on
the west and northwest, is st. Mary's
lake. The little body of water is q
perfect mirror You can see the boul-
ders at the bed and trout play around
in the waters plainly in view of the
naked eye. 1t is here that you catch
the first glimpse of the great glacier of
snow and ice. At the northern edge
of the lake a massive arch or tunnel
can be seen. AS you draw claser to
this you End that it is the tunnel into
the mountain of ice formed for an out
let for the melting waters so that they
can pass into the lake. In the tunnel
crystal icicles hang pendant from the
roof of the arch and as the sunlight
penetrates they look like huge dia-
monds. Drops of water fall from the
crystals like showers in April and from
this the lake receives its supply. The
picture is one that cannot be painted

the size and dimensions of this great

How to Make Chop Suey.

For those who like or who think they
would like the famous Chinese dish,
chop suey, the following recipe, which
any intelligent housewife can follow,
was given by w. e. S. Fales, for sever
al years vice consul at Annoy:
|'For four persons two chickens liv-
ers, two chickens giZZards, one pound
young, clean pork cut into small pieces,
half an ounce Of green root ginger and
two stalks Of celery. Saute this i'm a
frying pan over hot fire, adding four
tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one table
spoonful of vinegar, half cupfui of
boiling water, one teaspoonful of
worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoon
full of salt, black and red pepper to
taste and a dash of cloves and CHINA
mon. When nearly done, add a small
can of mushrooms, half a cupful of Ell
Their bean sprouts or French green peas
or string beans chopped fine or aspara-
gus tips. The see-yu sauce which is
eaten with this delectable dish can be
procured at any Chinese grocery"

Old Names In London.

If London street names are not al
ways what they seem, the names Of the
great parishes usually are. Take Lam
beth, for instance That vast district
has retained it's name practically unal-
tered since the days OF Edward the
Confessor, who granted a charter in
which it is styled Lambehith. Some
illiterate scribe, who helped in the max
ing Of *Domesday," did, indeed, make
an effort to obliterate it's real name by
calling it Lanchei, but his efforts were,
fortunately, in vain. William Rufus
i'm another charter named it Lambeth,
since when it has kept it's title unsul-
lied.
In the old days Lambehith (frOm
hithe, haven) was the great river port
whence agricultural produce was fer
ried across the Thames to the more
populous country opposite. There are
still many ''hithes'' left us, such as
Queenhithe and Rotherhithe, and, al
though their original functions have
gone, there still remains a shadow to
remind us of their departed glory
