me. The machine sWerved sharply,

again. There was no doubt about it

shaggy head. 1t had escaped from

fright from the attempts of the
keepers to capture it.

But as l turned my head a few hun

Uncomfortable English Hotels.
w. D. Howells, in Harper's.

With the aid of the two candles
which lighted I discovered the crate
in the wall near the head of the bed,
and on examining it closely perceived
that there was a fire in it, The CRATE
would have held quite double hand
full Of coal if carefully put on; the fire
which seemed to be Pickering so feebly
had yet the weary energy to draw all
the warmth of the chamber up the
chimney and I stood shivering in the
temperature Of a subterranean dun
geon. The place instantly gave evil
dence Of being haunted, and the testi-
mony Of my nerves on this point was
corroborated by the spectral play Of the
freight on the ceiling when I blew out
my candles. In the middle of the night
l woke to the sense of something creep
ing with a rustling noise over the floor.
l rejected the hypothesis Of my bed

membered putting it back that 1 might

knew at once that it was a ghost

hard. Suddenly it ceased, and I knew
why. It had been frozen out.

made a prodigious leap, and had We
been a trihe less swift would have
landed on top of us. But we shot
from under him, and as he descend
ed one great paw swept over the
seatback and wiped off half of the
leather covering. God, those claws
and their power. Another jump and
we would be done for.
The automobile in front was now
almost upon us. The deep-tOned horn
sounded warning. At that instant
l decided on new course. We
were approaching u road crossing.
Taking the handle firmly l swerved
sharp across the track, just grazing
the big car in front, and darted down
the side road. But l had miscalcu-
lated, or my hand was unsteady. The
next moment we crashed into the
bushes at the side of the road and
came to short stop in the midst of
a dense clump of laurel. I crouched
and awaited the descent of the lion.
l could feel him in the air behind me.
I waited with prayer on my lips.
Instead 1 heard confusion out on
the Wood Road. There were loud
voices. The machine was at stop,
for l could see the lights through the
trees. Alice was in dead faint, and
seeing that I. could not help her at
that moment and that the beast bad
disappeared l jumped out aud ran to
the roadside. There stood Fred Will
sons big touring car, with the front
smashed in; there stood Fred and his
three companions; and there, in the
middle of the road, lay the lion. My
plan was successful. Following us
closely he had no time to dodge the
heavy car. He met it head on.
There could be only one result.
My runabout was not hurt, and af-
ter time, with Alice beside me, re-
covered, though tremulous, we rode
slowly home. The supper was
abandoned. But in the quiet Of Al.
ices dainty parlor, with no fear OF
pursuers or intruders, went on with
my interrupted story. And later,
with both arms around her, and her
dear face very close to mine, VIC
planned our honeymoon.

Decentralization the Guests.

There were many visitors that sum,
mer at his suburban home. He was a
subordinate clerk drawing the large
monthly stipend of hundred dollars,
but of course the guests were not cog,
infant of the extent OF his income,
nor did that question appear to enter
their minds.
He was anxious to do every
thing in reason to make life in the
country endurable to his wife who
hated housekeeping under the best
of circumstances, especially in the
country, while the breath Of fresh all
and communion with nature were
proving his salvation from exhaustive
daily brain work, by which the cur
rent funds were supplied.
So he made these guests welcome
i1r every way, giving up his room a
times. changing his former easy hab
its, (but not his best clothes, as hat
been his wont when he reached home
at evening", returning company calls
and thereby neglecting necessary
work on his place, ct cetera. OF
course there were many extra ex
pcnses. A drive now and then, extr1
servant hire, the greatly increased
cost of the table, the milk BILL the
butchers bill, the bill for fuel and the
general wastage all Of which would
have been of small moment to o
man with a large income, but were tc

GOOD bye, while they kissed and en-
braced the hostess and to her said:
"Never have we been more char.
mingly entertained; you have done ev.
erything in your power to make this
a summer long to be remembered"
And the poor clerk returned to his
desk and work, the house resumed its
normal condition, but as each pay day
rolled around he added his debts and
his credits, only to find that extra
hundred dollars persistently remain
ing on the wrong side of the ledger.
Whether it is ample compensation
for him to hear, when he occasionally
meets one of his summer friends, of
the charming hospitality shown by
his wife," is known only to himself
Doubtless so, since husband and wife

touched the speed lever again. This
was the last notch. We were at our
limit, with a good two miles ahead
of us before any possibility of help.
The machine was now running stead
ily, with straight road for half a
mile, and I let my left arm steal
around Alice's waist and held her in
protecting clasp. I thought no
more about love and soft declara-
tons. l knew only that here was
the sweetest girl in the world, in i'm
minent danger of being torn to
shreds by ferocious lion, and that
only miracle, including steady
hand and head ON my part, would

reduce the wind pressure and add to
our speed, and prayed to heaven for

On and On we went. What if we
should burt tire or blow out a
cylinder? The thought was heart
rending. Even at our speed the lion
was gail ing. He was only ten
yards behind. He had increased his
speed with mine, making twenty feet
at a leap. The uncanny part OF il
was that he did not make sound
except now and then low grumb-
ling groyvl, as though resenting the
trouble he was put to in obtaining a
supper.

Folkething, the Danish House of
Commons. but the King has insisted
on choosing his cabinet ministers
from the other party, the Conserva-
tiveS.
The representatives of the
minority have conducted the routine
business of the government, but
whenever they have had to ask the
Folkething for special funds, that
body, which controls the official
purse, has thwarted them. The royal
residence in Copenhagen, the old
palace of Christiansborg, was de-
stroyed by fire in 1884, and the feel
ing between the Crown and the legrs-
lature had been 80 bitter that money
had never been appropriated to re-
store it. For almost twenty years
King Christian lived in comparative
ly small and shabby quarters at the
Amailenborg palace until finally the
long anding dispute was ended by
the Kings recognition Of the major
ity party.
It rov not no surprising that the
expatriated William Waldorf Astor
should claim for the first American
Astor--and inferentially, of course,
for himself-an ancient and distin-
gushed lineage. The distinguished
ancestor to whom his descent is
traced is Don Pedro dAstorga, a
Spanish grandee of the eleventh CEN
fury, who settled in France, where
his successors-a long line of sig
neurs and marquises-changed their
name to AstOrg. At the revocation
of the Edict of Nantes, Jean JACQUES
d'Astorg, who was Huguenot, fled
across the Rhine; Johann Jacob AS
tor, the Waldorf butcher, was his
grandson. This information will, no
doubt, be of interest to American
antiquarians. 1t is we'll known that
John Jacob Astor came to this coun-
try an almost penniless immigrant,
hailing from the village of Waldorf
in Baden. His descendant of today
speaks of him as a peasant" but as
a matter of fact he was the son Of
the village butcher and began his
career by working in his fathers
shop-a fact which it is not recorded
that he ever sought to conceal.
King Leopold of Belgium has con-
ferred upon Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin,
vice-president and acting president
of the Woman's Auxiliary Congress
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition,
the order Of the Knighthood of Leo
pold. 1t is believed that Mrs. Hen
rotn is the only woman in this
country who has received this deco
ration. She was at one time national
president Of the Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs, and is prominent in So
ciety. She is the wife of Charles
Henrotin, Belgian Consul In Chicago.
The Order Of Leopold was founded
in 1882 by Leopold I; there are five
classes.
In selecting a wife Serge de Witte
the great Russian statesman, chose
a Jewess, one of the race which has
been treated so cruelty in his coun-
try. Nine. de White was formerly
the wife Of a subordinate official, but
she secured divorce and has been
very happy in her second marriage
