A Queens Antipathy.

Notwithstanding her Hanoyerian an
cestry, the late Queen Victoria was nj
ways deeply interested In anything con
corning the Stuarts. No one vcntured
in her presence, says Andrew Lang
to call Prince Charles Edward tho
"Pretender," For the hapless and beau
tiful Mary of Scotland she felt the
profoundest pity, which was ut least
cqualed by her strong antIpatly tt
Elizabeth.
Referring to this one day, the queen
said:
"Once when ] was about fourteen
and my mother and l were at Margate
we went on board steamer. As We
were crossing the gangplank woman
In the crowd looked hard at me, and
then said to some one near her:
"Another Elizabeth, hope"

came so impressed with the character
Of the two that he determined to do all

is all the more interesting for the rea-
son that apparently II leaves the waist
