Avn SWORDS' POINTS.


When Karl came with a carriage
for his friend at an unearthly hour in
the morning he found the American
composed and smiling, as though bent
upon holiday. A light breakfast
was eaten. Then they drove away
just as the first rosy flush of dawn
appeared In the east.
When they reached the court yard
Of the Hirschagasse Karl noticed
that an unusual number had turned
out this morning. Nor was he ignor-
ant OF the cause, since 1t must have
gone abroad that the new student the

was about to take his chance before
the invincible Saxo-Prussian leader.
Half dozen affairs were on the

LORD sALlsBuRY's PATRONAGE.
The Long List of Important Appoint-
ments He Has Made.

The Long List of Important Appoint.
ments He Has Made.
The marquis Of Salisbury since he
became premier for the first time has
enjoyed surprising amount of pa
tronage. The two benches of bishops
and judges are almost solely filled by
his nominees, for, though the liberals
have been in power nearly three years
out of the last fifteen, they had scarcely
any opportunities of making appoint
ments during that period, and the &C.
clesiastical and legal survivors of the
pre-1SS6 period are very rare.
To take the judges, only one, lord Of
appeal in ordinary, Lord Davey, owes
his appointment to the liberals. In the
Supreme Court Of Appeals Sir John
Righy was the last survivor of Glad
stoniaR days. The chancery judges are
all Lord Salisbury's nominees, Sir Ar
thur Kekewich, the senior, having been
promoted for political services in 1886.
OF the Kings Bench Division, now
that Sir James Mathew has gone up
higher and Sir John Day has retired,
Sir Alfred Wills and Sir w. Ram
Kennedy alone owe their appointment
to liberal influences.
OF the episcopal bench only the
bishops OF Lincoln, Llandaff, Ripon,
Salisbury and southwell date from the
pre-Cecil dynasty. and in the course Of
nature at least three of these will be-
fore long seek retirement. 1t is a cause
rather for congratulation than regret
that in fifteen years men who are gen.
orally of full maturity when they begin
these high duties should give place to
younger men. But it is a little re-
markable that during the three years
of liberal ministry so few vacancies
should occur except by death. II bish-
ops and judges were not above such
subterfuges, one might suspect that
they had postponed retirement in or
der to put further patronage in the
hands of the present premier.

CHALLENGED BY THE VICTOR OF

The expression upon Karl's face
when he heard these astonishing
words from the lips of his friend was
combination of incredulity and joy.
Why, not, when in their utterance
he saw one possible rival swept from
the field and felt that he had gained
a brother.
"What?" he gasped.

my father, being well-to-do man,

his great wrongs.

student, who wore the dark blue cap,
signlfying that he belonged to the
Rhine Korps, put out his hand and
tackled him.
IT was evident from the momentary
nash Of pleasure that appeared
upon the face of the American that
this yellow-haired young athlete was
at least of more Importance to him
than the average run Of students with
whom fortune threw him in contact.
AS they sat together at table and
chatted over the foamy beakers their
conversation naturally covered the
: whole range of subjects that might be
supposed to interest students. Paul's
eyes at last settled upon certain
