thought that the shoe horn was de-

venient implement with which to eat

house, maybe, where they hadn't any
spoons of their own, or not enough to

some occasion have friendly and ia

bring in ice cream.

Elore than one has been put to such

And l have heard of such a thing

much handler than a nice thin-bIaded
silver shoe horn for cutting up cake

"Oh, no. The shoe horn is intend

| his fathers. Thereupon he had made
his way to Tuscany.
Now he would rescue the palace of
the Villaciosas, he thought. He would
proclaim his name-a name known to
all Italy. But who would believe him =?
This resuscitated man-who would
know or recognize him?
When the clock struck for dinner,
the grand dining hall was crowded
with guests Galemberti multiplied
himself, red and radiant among the
attendants.
Suddenly door opened slowly and
in the doorway appeared the stranger
1t was the moment when Giulo, Duke
of Villaciosa, was to claim his own
With salute of one accustomed to
rank and power he presented himself
to the guests. Every eye was turned
on him.
Gentlemen he said, 81 am happy
on my return to Italy to feast with
my friends in the house of my ances-
tors
Some one cried: "But who are
your"
Il am Giulio, Duke of Villaciosa-"
He is an impostor. Giulio died at
Navarino," snarled Ga1emberti
No, you fool! Giulio was only
wounded at Navarino, and has this
day returned to his home

Gentlemen" he said 81 knew
Giulio's father. He was my best
friend. 1 am quite ready to offer my
hand to his son if he can furnish me
proofs of his identity"
Yes, yes" said Galemberti, in de-
spair, 1--WE demand the proof
You demand it," answered Guilio
with laugh; but turning to the Count
Bartholdi he added. your request is
very just and 1 hasten to receive the
embrace OF my fathers friend Fol
low me, then; and you, too, gentle
men"
All followed, Galembertf trembling
in the rear with little Beppo.
The great staircase resounded I'M
der the many feet and the door of the
chamber of the Dukes of Yillaciosa
was opened. The picture of the Ma
donna seemed suddenly to grow ra-
diant
With tranquil assurance the strang-
er stood before the picture and

amined the gold frame, l~essed upon

A panel slid back and there was seen

Duke, ''all the wealth of Villsciosa
left in safety"
Then was confusion; all present Of
fered their congratulations and good
wishes, while Galemberti, profiting by
the noise. took Beppo's lutte hand and

child, with the large. sad eyes, he en-
braced him. "Beppo Galemberti," said
he, you will be great lord
But Beppo only said, I'VE will go
to the mountains, far away from the
cities; and we will drink milk and
live on the farm in the pure air"
The incident here related occurred
on gala day. All the great people of
the neighborhood came to Pisa one
day of the year to visit their friends N
the town and every room in the house
was spoken for.
Galemberti hurried here and there
while Beppo, to avoid the noise. took
refuge in window, where, looking
out, ne could see the other boys at
play in the street below. Suddenly
among a group of strangers he saw

who had read devouringly the novels
of Dumas.
All at once Beppo saw him enter
the courtyard of the hotel Quitting
his place at the window he hurried
to the vestibule just in time to hear
the stranger speak with sharp, clear
voice to a servant
4 wish to speak to thy master. he
said.
Il will call my master" the servant
answered, and Galemberti soon an.
peared with a look which Beppo called
the expression of a bad day.
What do you wish here?" demand
ed Galemberti.
The stranger raised his head and
replied.
81 wish a room-your best one"
Galemberti made no answer.
Il wish your bedchamber. the one
where hangs the picture by Raphael"
Galemberd could only answer: You
know it, them
Take me there at once"
The little hand of Beppo slid into
that of his father, and he said:
please papa. go with him.
The stranger glanced sadly at the
.hild while Galemberti answered:
But all my rooms are engaged by
club which may arrive any time
now"
We'll. tell them have the room
"Ah, ii. He gets the room who
pays. Come, little one"
Galemberti struck an attitude of de-
spair as the stranger installed himself
in the room. The devil is in that
man. Under his rags he acts as if he
were king" and a strange feeling of
anxiety seized him.
The apprehensions of Galemberti
were well founded, for it was a real
Villaciosa who was in that rich room
once again after twelve years. During
his absence he had Joined the Greek
army and at the battle of Navarino
was badly wounded in the head. He
was reported to have been killed

At Pisa in Tuscany was a very old
palace which had belonged to the
Dukes of Villaciosa. Held for long
years in the family, it was finally
bought on the death of Giulio, the last
of the line, by a man named Galem-
berti, who made the palace, with it's
famous carvings by Benvenuto eel
lini, and mosaics designed by Raphael
and Titan, into a fashionable hotel
for those who were willing to pay high
prices for the privilege of living amid
these splendors of art.
Yes yes. My boy will be rich

to say, and taking in his arms his

perience.''
Zone of the most extraordinary
features of American life is the dress
of women" he says. 1.-THE Americans
make claim to being among the most
modest, the most religious, the most
proper people in the world, yet the ap-
pearance of the ladies at many public
functions is beyond belief. They wear
gowns in the French court fashion,
with trains a yard or two in length,
but the upper part cut SO low that
large portion of the neck and Shout
ders is exposed. At my fashionable
dinner 1 was embarrassed beyond ex-
preston; such an exhibition in China
could only be made by a certain class.
This remarkable custom of a strange
people, who deluge China with mis-
sionaries from every sect under the
sun and at home commit the grossest
solecisms, is universal, and not ,
thought of as improper.
eff 1 should tell you how many
American women asked me why Chi

these submitted to and practised de- |
formity that has seriously affected the |
growth and development of the race. |
American women exchange their |
fashions twice year or more. Fash |

classes, and the highest lady in the |
land is completely at their mercy; to |
Gisobey the mandates of fashion is to |

81 was told that one lady wore a !

terly strange and contradictory Gus |
toms of these women are best OBJ

China if a woman is modest she is |
so at all times; but this is not true |
with some Americans, who appear to
have the desire to attract attention,
that of men, by an appeal
to the beautiful in nature and art; at
least this is the impression the I'M
