Too Many Princes.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg saw
that the car has decided that there
are too many princes in Russia and
that most of the exotic creatures car

know so well in Paris and at Monte
Carlo, have no right to any title what
ever.

Where they are as numerous as colonies

other countries, Car Nicholas has APP
pointed a commission to separate the
tares from the wheat.
The poor members Of the commission
are having no Sinecure, as many of
these princes clam that the titles were
conferred upon their ancestors to the

that he was to be called prince no more.
The origin Of the kaiser's polypus,
Which has started the people of two
h~emispheres is no longer a mystery.
The Society of Anti-Tobacco Smokers
have settled beyond a doubt-cr, at
least, to their own Satisfaction-that
had the kaiser never smoked his vocal
cords would have needed the sur
geon's knife.
A Great Smoker.
Like most Germanp, the kaiser is ar.
inveterate smoker, and delights in a
pipe Of good Havana, especially pre-
pared for him. He recently added a
most gorgeous meerschaum PIPE, with
a turquoise m%outhpiece decorated with
the German eagle, artistically carved,
and a large wv" in gold, to his already
unique collection of pipes.
The society is said to have sent a
petition to the kaiser asking him for
the sake Of the fatherland to give up
smoking.
The kaiser, however. has no such in
t%ention, and is looking forward with
great pleasure to the day when his ply
sicians will allow him the use Of his IA
vorite pipe.

large part of the clientele of the fash

played my part, though 1t cost me a
tight rein on my every waking move
ment. 1t was so easy to make a slip,
SO impossible to stitch up my mask if I
ever made the slightest rent.
Ends eyes grew troubled as the days
went by. So grieved was she at the
m~onotonous, drudging life I led that
she wished us to take the road once
more, under p%retense of return, and
seek out some place where I could be
myself again.
She also had her own annoyances to
undergo. 1t had pleased Jack Postgate
to assume the position of her sworn ad-
mirer, and poster her with attentions.
Jack, Of course, received every snub
which could be politely administered,
but the thickness Of his skin was such
h a he drew not back an inch.
One afternoon I was sitting at table
in the kitchen, where a meal had just
been concluded, when SIAM came in
n gave me a slip Of paper, accom-
panying it with voluble directions Of
which I understood meyer a word. I
stared vacantly at the paper as she
talked away among a litter of my fei-
low servants, who always took a huge
delight in hearing Welsh spoken, and
discovered 1t was a request from Roger

a not been indifferently stocked, yet
the truth Is that short as was the time
troops had been quartered on the place
it haa sufficed them to drink all dry,
and Roger was in no mind to show he
possessed cash by restocking.
I nodded when Slant paused, put the
paper in my pocket and marched at
once.
I found Adam Bell. the landlord, in
his kitchen and delivered h paper.
He gave me a glass Of ale and babe me
sit down for a moment, for he was busy
at the time. I drank the ale readily
enough, but took no notice of his invi-
tation till his wife called out:
1.-THE mar understands We not, Adam.
Point to the %settee: he'll know what ye

Ny old acquaintance conducted me to
a seat in dumb show, n hustled off
about his business. He had company
in the parlor, and I heard Jack Post
gates voice.
"Confound the fellow" thought I,
"he's forever hanging about Butley.'
Then I caught his words, for Adam
had left the door open. What, land

h puzzled me a little. It sounded
as If Adam had been talking Of me, yet
how Jack Postgate should speak SO
confidently of winning speech with me
was not easy to divine. Another scrap
of conversation came across the pas
sage, and my blood leaped I'D and
drummed furiously in my ears.
"You can get all I want out Of him."
cried Jack.

"But how was he to know that? He
spoke kindly"
"on the whole. it is just as we'll he
shouldn't know. Did he turn any ques~
tons my way?"
"He seemed to accept the story of
your return to France. At any rate,
he repeated 1t to me in explanation Of
the state of affairs. 1t was the only
reference he made to you"
WAS he curious es to your connec-
ton with Butley Croft?"
Il think he was, though he was very
guarded. Roger had told him I was a
ward and connection of-of Sir Arthur
Vaughan"
TT is a satisfactory account" said I,
IAN one to which you can fairly lay
claim"
Another mar now came to join me at
my task, and Enid sauntered slowly
away. I piled my logs and reviewed
the situation carefully. 1t seemed
strong enough, so far as I could see, for
us to rest here for a time at any rate.
II any danger arose 1t would be easy
to take the o again, for I had dis
covered that Roger was in a position
to plentifully replenish my exhausted
purse But to what end-to march
about the country, exposing Enid to
the chances of rough weather and rude
travel? The very fact Of her being in
Butley Croft was, in a sense, an ele-
ment Of strength In the game we were
playing.
1t was a natural refuge for O. connec-
ton of Sir Arthur Vaughan, a son of
the house.
1t argued an ignorance of our doings
which would avert suspicion, yet an ig-
torrance entirely natural when the in
frequent communication was consid-
cred.
Fol myself, rumor had done me an
excellent urn. A party Of my friends,
taking the alarm Upon the first arrests
that were made, had ridden northeast
to Boston in Lincolnshire. There, they
a hired a fishing lugger and escaped
safely landing on the shores of France;
and, upon all sides, my name was con-
fdentially given as one of the party. I
could have wished for nothing better,
n this was the story to which Enid
referred.

Two distinct varieties Of caviare are
manufactured In Russia-the granulat-
ed and the pressed forms. The granu-
lated form is obtained by passing the
fish rOes under pressure through a fine
meshed sieve. The small eggs pass in
tact, but the envelopes are retained in
the sieve. To these pure salt is added
In the proportion of one-twentieth or
one-fortieth. 1t Is Intimately mixed
with the eggs by means of q kind of
wooden spoon. The caviare is then
ready for consumption. 1t Is packed
in round metallic boxes of one and a
half to five pounds and enveloped in
parchment for transportation. The
pressed caviare keeps better than the
granulated form.

Looking upward to the plateau. saw
a horseman dashing Off to the spur
north of us, whose ridge led 20 the level
ground we were approaching. 1t was
plain that we had been discovered, that
the shot was n signal and the hOrseman
was going to head us off.
The trouble had all come from Buck.
l have no doubt we should have given
the guerrillas the slip had IT
for his folly. There are certain lido
syncrasies in boys that are as natural
to them as for a duck to swim or rob-
in to fly. Unfortunately. at a critical
moment Buck encountered an incident
that called out one Of these idiOsyncra-
sizes. Gazing into the branches of the
tree under which he lay. he espied a
birds nest. Unluckily. he noticed that
a rock which admitted of Il gradual as
cent stood directly under the tree.
Climbing the rock. he made his way
among the branches and, leaning far
out where the bright sun could shine
directly on him. grasped for the treas
ure. Our enemy, who was at the time
watching from the plateau, discovered
him.
Calling the party together, gave the
order to push forward; not that there
seemed to be any object in doing so,
for we must expect to meet our pursu-
ers, but we could not go back and
could not stay where We were. Be
