The Four HenryS. ,

who can best win it,
He had scarcely spoken before the
first Henry drew his sword and the two
others their daggeFs. AS they rushed
towards each other, a. fourth knock
raped at the door and fourth young
man entered;;a fourth nobleman and
fourth Henry! Seeing the drawn
swords, he drew his own and taking his
place on the side Of the weakest, he
rushed boldly into, the fray. The old
woman huddled. frightened, into one
corner as the swords rang out sharply
in the little room. Presently the lamp
was overturned, but still the. four men
fought in the dark, The strife lasted
for several moments; then gradually,
all became still once more. The old
woman ventured out Of her corner, and
lighting her lamp again. saw the four
young men. stretched on the floor. each
one wounded. She examined them and
bound up their cuts and presently they
rose to their feet and, ashamed of what
they had done, they: began to laugh,
saying: ~
and harmony"
But the supper had been swept off
the table and the cheese was trodden on
and the bread ground into. crumbs.
Slight as it was, they regretted it. The
cabin, too, was in the widest disorder.
From her corner, the old woman look
ed f1xedly at the four men.
why do you look at us 500" asked
the first Henry. troubled by her gaze.
1T see your destinies written on your
brows," she replied.
The second Henry commanded her
harshly to reveal them to him while
the others, laughed scornfully. But the
old woman said seriously:
AS you have all four met in this
cabin, so you will all four meet in the
same destiny Just as you have trod-
den: under foot and stained with blood
| the hospitality that was: offered you,
so you will trample upon and soil the
power that you might share. Just as
you have devastated and ruined this
poor cabin, so you will devastate and
ruin France, and just as you were each
one wounded In the darkness, so you
will all four perish by treason and a
| violent DEATH
The four men laughed heartily at the
old woman's prophecy. Many. years
later, however, they did not laugh.
Henry de Condo, the first Henry, was
poisoned by. his wife.
The second Henry, Henry ode Guise,
was assassinated BY "the forty-f1ve.' -
The third Henry, who became Henry
III of France. was stabbed to death by
Jacques Clement, and Henry de Buor-

\ ne evening, when the rain was

man who WAS called q witch

~ ne evening, when the rain was
falling in torrents. an old? ,wo-
man who was called witch
~ through all the country side and
who lived in a miserable little
cabin in the forest Of Saint German,
heard someone knocking at her door.
She opened it, and saw a man on horse
back who asked shelter from the storm.
Bidding him to- take his horse around
to the back Of the house, she held the
smoky lamp high for him to see, and as
soon as he entered, she fastened to build
a little fire. The stranger was a young
man and his rich dress betokened
noble birth.
II have very little to offer you SIR"
said the old woman, signing, as she
took bit Of cheese and small loaf of
black bread from the tiny cupboard.
1T is all there is left after the tithes
and taxes, that are imposed on poor
people now, without counting the fact
that everyone around here calls me a
witch and makes free with all the pro-
duce of my garden"
"It's a shame, mother" said the
young man, land if I ever get to be
king of France. will do away with all
taxes and the people shall know better
than to believe in witches
May God give you a good memory
for what you say" replied the old wo-
man. AS she spoke the young man ap-
preached the table and sat down, but
at the same moment there came an
other knock at the door. The old wo-
man opened it and saw another horse
man, streaming with rain, who begged
for shelter She bade him enter and
the young man came hastily inside.
''Why, Henry, you here?" cried the
stranger, throwing off his cloak and
disclosing a suit even richer than that
Of his. friend.
Eyes, Henry" replied the other, gaily,
and from their conversation the old
woman learned that the two men had
been a part Of large hunting party,
led by King Charles " and who had
been scattered by the storm.
Haven't you anything else you can
give us, mother?" asked the second
conner as the two sat down to the able.

.CAT'S<CHARACTER
Ii 10 Complex and Capable Of jealousy

IL 10 Complex and Capable Of Jealousy
and Revenge.
Chicago Record Herald. IT,.
t. Another point In the complex char
acter OF the cat is her capacity for
jealously. There is never jealousy
without love. and this may be added
to the proofs Of the cats capacity for
affection so strenuously denied by
superficial observers. I have seen a
cat deliberately plan punishment for a
dog that was receiving more than she
at her mistress's hands. She sprang
at his back, fixing her claws in his. coat
and came back with an air Of reproach
toward her mistress after the dog had
had retired to a safe distance.
Felinity finds it's completest express
sion in the genuine English tile. cat.
There Is, to my mind. nothing like the
same attraction in the petted Persians
Of the parlor, beyond the fact that they
endure the rough-and-tumblel life, they
lose their individuality and their char
acter, just as human beings do. They
love the cream pot more than the per-
son who cares for them. The dar1ings
OF the drawing room, too, they often are
greedy, conceited, irritable and self
ish.
Has the cat a conscience? am
compelled to confess that l am rather
doubtful on that point. Let us leave
1t on the basis that the cat is a. true
passing well. It is not her fault if
she develops a liking for the family
canary and for the goldfish, nor if after
eating a brace of the latter she comes
With an unscrutable look Of innocence
on her face and asks for milk.

PERFUMED LAMPS
From the London Express:
Tho usa Of DQrf11n1a as a dish

lOM Lie AO14OOAA I@ApA GEO.
The use Of perfume as a disinfectant
is well known, and the scented
dandy" has perhaps more hygienic
wisdom than his detractors give him
credit for. It.. is. he who: is trying to
revive the use Of he perfumed efoun-
tain ring: AM article dc luxe which
may either be used as an ornament
or as means of a pleasant disin-
fectant in stuffy underground trains or
in insalubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one
fitted with a ball at the back. It is
filled by pressing the ball. nearly fiat
and dipping the ring into a cup of
scent, when the elasticity Of the ball
draws the perfume into the interior till
quite full. BY the least pressure the
wearer of the ring can cause Jet of
scent to shed it's refreshing aroma any
moment he pleases, and he may thus
act as benefactor or a nuisance to
those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be used
as another pleasant method of disin-
fecting a room. A ball Of spongy plat
mum is placed over the center Of the
wick, and is fixed in it's position by a
thin glass rod, which is inserted into
the wick. The lamp is then filled with
any scented spirit, and when lighted
is allowed to burn until the platinum,
gets red hot. The flame is then blown
out and q pleasant odor fills the at
mOsphere.
