The consensus Of opinion seems to be
that Boris will be exiled to the southern

the dashing but profligate young Boris.
The full details of the war career Of
the grand duke have leaked out and have
created the greatest indignation.
AS soon as Boris received his orders to
proceed to the front he gave a dinner to
his friends in the operate chorus, and
there are few pretty st. Petersburg
chorus girls that do not know Boris
AS the dinner rolled along, Boris waxed
enthusiastic in talk about the glories
Of war.

built girl, raising wine glass, "how
we shall miss you. Won't we, girls?"
There was clatter from the wine

The girls were enthusiastic, and the
next day announced to their friends that

view the war as the specially invited
guests OF the royal family.

I pass over the preliminary examina-

coroner, holding out the two or three
lines of writing which Mr.. jeffrey had
declared to have been left him by his

Are these words in your wife's

Mr.. jeffrey replied hastily and with
just glance at the paper offered him:
"They are"
The coroner pressed the slip upon
him.
Look at them carefully" he urged.

places is scarcely legible. Are you
ready to swear that these words were
written by your wife and by no

There was sharpness in the tone. Mr..
jeffrey was feeling the prick. There

he was trying hard to keep down.

the coroner, "for accepting this pecul-
