An Impatient Suitor

We'll. Sir Mariner, do you not fear to
venture so far dangerous scar asked
a mocking voice.
"A dangerous sea, fair Jacqueline?" he
replied, stroking the head of the hound

of flowers
"Oh, 1 recognize now Monsieur Diplo-

Beneath her headdress. resembling in
some degree two great butterfly wings. her
face looked smaller than its won't Laced
tight, after the fashion, the cotte-hardie
made her waist appear little larger than
could be clasped by the hands of soldier,
while silken-shod foot with which she
tapped the ground would have nestled neat
" in his palm. Was it pique that moved
her thus to address the dukes Jester?
Since he had arrived, Jacqueline had
been relegated. as II were, to the
corner. She, formerly ever first with
the princess, had perforce stood aside on
the coming Of the foreign fool whose COM
pany her mistress strangely seemed to pre-
FER to her own.
First had 1t been talking, walking and
jesting, in which last accomplishment he
proved singularly expert. judging from the
peals of laughter to which her mistress oc-
casionally gave vent. Then 1t had become

volumes was not large, but Marguerite. the
kings sister, possessed some rarely exc

bound Life of Saint Agnes, Roman virgin
who died under the Sanguinary persecution

noticed that the saints life lay idle-con-
spicuously. though fittingly, on the altar
table-while manuscript of the Queen of
Navarro suspiciously accompanied the jes-
ter when he sought the pleasant nook Sc
lected for reading and conversation.
IT was 70 this spot the maid repaired one
soft summer Afternoon, where she found
the fool and a volume-Marguerite's by the
purple binding and the love-knot in silver!-
awaiting doubtless the coming of the prin-
cess; and at the sight of them, the book of
romance and the jester who brought it,
what wonder her patience gave way2

Still he forbore to qualify his manner,

asked. quietly. without even looking at her.

Action Of the Congress.
A New Saccharine Plant,

Consul General Guenther at Frankfort,
Germany, writes: THE Technical Review
of Berlin states that plant has recently
been found in South America which con-
tains a considerable quantity of saccha-
rine matter, Is not fermentable and pos
sesses an unusually strong saccharine
taste. The plant is of the same species as
the German SUPERINTENDENT (eupatorium
cannabinum), is herbaceous, from eight to
twelve inches high. The chemist Bertoni
considers this plant of highly important
value from an industrial standpoint on ac-
count of its natural sugar properties which
of a high percentage. Its scientific
name is eupatorium rebandium. According
to experiments made by the discoverer. the
director of the Agricultural Institute at
Asuncion, this interesting plant is Gaid to
yield a sugar which is from twenty to
thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane or
beet sugar.

monster from view. Against the clamborina
ivy which for centuries had reveled in this
chosen spot and which the landscape gar

the Jester to start. remembering he had last
seen 1t worn by the king.
Truly the capricious. but august mon

complaisance of his fair ward and the face

writ to her; flower, perhaps, she gave
him. A flower he yet chershes. mayhap;
dried, faded, yet plucked by her!'
Involuntarily the hand Of her listener
touched his breast the first sign he had
made that her story moved him Jacque-
line, watching him keenly, smiled, and de-
murely looked away. Her next words
seemed to dance from her lips. as with
head bent, like butterfly poised, she adj
dressed her remark to vacancy.
"A flower for himself, no doubt! Not
given him for another!'
Whereupon she turned in time to catch
the burning flush which famed his cheek
and left 1t paler than she had ever seen 1t.
| At this first signal of her success-proving
that he was not impregnable to her attack
she hummed little song and beat time on

to let 1t grow any more, and. as the only
way out of the difficulty, petitioned the
king to curtail the time of probation and
relieve him of the constantly augmenting
suspense. To which his most gracious
