ROYAL FAMILIES
ARE NOT SO OLD
The MiI<ado Really Is the Dean of
Them All So Far as Ancestry
Is Concerned.

When it comes to "old families
Russia, can fairly assert that his fam
lily stands at the head of the list, for
his ancestors have been rulers of
Japan for 1850 years, according to a
fairly well authenticated genealogy.
This would place the first ruler of
the family in the year Gas 3. c.. and
make him a contemporary of Nebu-
chadnezzar's father.
Extraordinary as this claim to an
cient lineage is, there seems to be no
valid reason for doubling it, and the
Mikado always begins his proclama-
lions with Seated on our ancestral
throne from time immemorial."
The Car is mere mushroom COM
pared with the Asiatic ruler as re-
CARDS family.
The best he can do in the way Of
ancestry lis to trace back to Michael
Romanoff, who became Gear in 1919,
only a few years before the Pilgrim
Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock.
And the Car can claim descent
from the Romanoffs only through a
roundabout way, as the male line Of
the direct female line expired in 1852
fourteen years before the American
Declaration of Independence.
The reigning family of China is
even more modern than that of the
Gear. Though the Chinese Emperor
claims to be descended from the SUM-
historically his family is younger than
that of a Mayfower descendant. He
is descended from a Manchu chief
who made his appearance In China in
1914, and drove out the lawful sover-
eigns of the country.
This Manchu chief was a successful
soldier, and that is all that is known
about him.
He was. in all probability, what
would be called in these days a self
made man.
Edward VII. IL he were not King.
would be known as Mr.. Victim, for
that was his fathers family name.
His family trace back to 919, which
is a pretty long way for a European
King to go.
The Emperor William of Germany,
IL he were bound to have family
name, might cali himself Mr.. Bur-
chard, for ne is descended from Bur-
chardus of Zolorin, and Burchardus
is nothing more than the Latin form
of Burchard.

what it is anyway" said Hans, land
the people must remain behind as they
did yesterday"
An hour later armed with clubs as
before, Hans and Yuly set out. AS
they walked towards the grove Yuly
said:
Hans, have been thinking, and
l believe / know what that thing is.
1t cannot be any wild animal, for we
have heard of none here. 1 believe it
is nothing but a common lizard such
as | have seen in our own garden. A
lizard would look as big and terrible
to them as an alligator would to
u.s.
st shouldn't wonder if you were
right" replied Hans. Eyes, it must be
a lizard, and If we can only find
him we will make short work of
him.
When they reached the grove they
found the trees loaded with red fruit
looking and tasting like the red plums
{ you see at the grocer's in summer.
They ate their fill before looking
around, and they had not reached the
other side of the grove when Yuly sud-
denly cried out:
'See-Hans-see! There 1t is on that
tree!"
So 1t was: and 1t was a lizard sure
enough little reptile not more than
a foot long. One can find them al
most anywhere in the United States
in summer, and they may be picked up
and handled without fear.
ITO think that these pygmies call
that a terrori" laughed Hans. "Just
keep quiet minute. Yuly, and I'll give
him a tap to settle his business"
Hans crept forward and brought his
club down on the lizard and killed him
at blow: then, when Yuly had filled
her apron and his cap with fruit, he
picked the dead reptile up by the tail
and they walked slowly back to the
city.
The people were out to welcome

while the banks are covered with salt
crystals as white as snow. From the
waters of this lake there arises flower
like odor The color and the odor are
supposed to be caused by vegetable
matter in the depths.
There used to be a curious lake on
the top of the Volcano de Aqua, in
Guatamela, $4,000 feet above the level
of the sea. 1t was not fed by springs
nor by rivers, but was caused by accu-
mutations of snow and rain-in fact.
was an immense reservoir. 1t lasted
for centuries. Then, one day. the sides
of the lake gave way, and down the
waters rolled, dealing death and de-
struction, and digging a great bar
ranca, or ravine, in the mountain side
which is still visible.

IN PIGMY LAND.
CHAPTER X.

j The next morning the King said to
Hans and Yuly:
THE other danger 1 spoke of lies
4o the north of us. Up there on the
side of the mountain you can see a fine
grove of fruit trees.
8 Until last year we used to eat
nnuch of the fruit, but one day some
women who were there saw a terrible
Rnimal 1t had four legs and a long
Hail. Its hide was rough, its eyes
Sery bright, and it had a mouth full
n sharp teeth.
1t moved swiftly, and it almost
8aught one of the women before she
could run away. If you could kill off
4hat monster we should have nothing
#nore to worry about"

$feature of some kind to be dreaded.

days when old Burchardus lived, and
when the family began to prosper and
built q castle at Hohenzollen they
took their name from that place.
The Emperor goes back in his gene
alogy to 1861, the days of Burchardus.
The Emperor of Austria calls him
self a Hapsburg. but really the male
line of the Hapsburgs became ex-
tinct years ago, and he represents It
only through the female side. His
family name, If he had one, would be
Fberhardt or Everard, for 1t was
man of that name who laid the foun-
dations of the fortunes of the family
in the male line in Alsace in the ninth
century

Toward evening the man opened his
eyes intelligently and looked into
Orson's face. Reading no pity there
he turned to the wall.
Then over Orson came spasm OF
remorse. He had seen in the counte-
nance of the man before him the ves-
tiges of that struggle which one
knows who goes down unto death,
and who, having by a miracle escaped
it, with life. riches, love before him.
had opened his eyes upon the face OF
one who would grant no quarter
himself, Orson.
And then the other slde-Orson's
own-once wronged out of all those
things which make life good, God him
self had seemed to stretch out his hand
against the wrongdoer. So his pos
sessions had come to Orson with the
hope also that when time had dulled
the edge of sorrow her love might re-
turn to him who had once believed 1t
his own.
Then had come the summons here,
and with it some strange force into his
life, which sometimes seemed to twist
his nature, as he knew it, all awry.
And now-this!
The hour struck and Orson, rising,

fingers, rapidly making a design of a
cottage in outline. With the yellow
sand she made the background, and
mixing the yellow and the blue she
designed trees of brilliant green.
She drew yellow windows in che
blue cottage and made a yellow sand
leading up to the door. In five min
utes she had made the most delicate
little picture which looked like a
panel in a Japanese screen.
Every child in Japan plays this lit
tie game OF making sand pictures, and
it is one which will give unending
entertainment to children everywhere.
1t is easily tried and some beautiful
little things can be made by any child
with a taste for drawing.

The next morning when the man
awoke he looked up into the face of
Thya, bending over him.
His eyes opened wonder-wide; he
passed his hand across them as IL to
brush away the visions of fevered
hours. But she was there still-her
hand now upon his forehead, delicious
ly soft and sympathetic.
He took the medicine she offered,
murmuring his thanks.
Often his eyes sought her as now she
leaned among the pillows of the divan.
In her was both the listless charm and
the swift alertness of the serpent, and
in her lightly poised head, once more
full of dark Egyptian beauty, was fas-
cination. Twice, as she smiled, meet
ing his gaze, her eyes held his, but for
the most part she seemed unconscious
of his presence.
AT last he spoke.
why am l here?"
She shrugged her shoulders
The fierce hate again shone In ms
face. What are ySu to him-Orson!'
Nothing" Indolently she took
seat by his couch.
Then why are you here. If may
ask?"
She laughed softly. mot on his &C
count, you may be sure. But you must
not talk. You have been Ill"
Again she bent toward him, touching
his forehead. THE fever is gone.
Her fingers pressed his eyelids shut;
and he was content. For months he
had not known the touch of woman
hand.
Neither moved. 1t would have been
instructive to the man could he have
seen the emotions which played In her
eyes--amused, half-tender, scoffing,
satisfied, always subtle-always evil
So sitting at length she started and
looked Wps for Orson stood beside
her. With contempt he looked her
through. And to Orson, also, it
would have been instructive could he
have seen her face as he turned away.

It became an immediate question
what Orson should do with his pris-
oner. He wasted no time in search
ing for the motives of his holding.
Though still resisting that hooking

he had his man and meant to keep
his clutches upon him. Wherefore, us
ing the tools which Uttered Arkwright's
strange rookery, he soon made fast
the few avenues of escape from the
inner room, and transferred his pris-
oner thence.
Thya he trusted not at all, but, after
that second day gracefully banished
her from the house, though inquiring
how he might serve her in return for
her kindness.
She half turned. laughing over her
shoulder. -,
Fear not as to that reward--it will

Orson did not admire complications.
He shot the door with shrug OF
relief.
