earnestly. and the exhibit of five cab

A Aelodramatic Incident.

In his message to the general
assembly Governor Davis was
particularly severe upon the pen
itentiary management. During
his remarks upon the subject OF
the penitentiary the governor
grew very emphatic, AS a
climax to his review of the affairs
of that institution he drew from a
paper wrapper in front of him
one of the leather whips, such as
are said to be in use for the
punishment Of unruly criminals.
Holding it up in sight of the
entire audience, the governor
dashed it down upon the desk in
front of him as he said:
"This is the kind of a lash that
is laid upon the backs of the poor
unfortunate prisoners at our pen
itentiary, and if you do not do
something during the present
session of the legislature to re-
form the methods of management
of the institution the lash of public
opinion should be laid across
yolr political backs at the next
election"

An Interview with the King.

A door opened and a courtier Gil
was my bette noire, Sir Raoul Dwight
came from the anteroom, into which
l was waiting to be admitted. 1t was
evident that his Majesty's mission
had not retained him from court Sc
long as he had anticipated.
A frown was on his brow and his
head hung. He would have passed
me had not my deep look forced his
eyes. The frown broadened, and a
curse burst from his sullen mouth.
His hand slid to his sword.
will not tomorrow be time
enough, Cousin Raoul'?' I asked.
Fore God! I'll kill you then" he
growled venomously.
cat your SERVICE" I said.
My name being called, I turned my
back upon him and walked to the
room where | was to have my inter-
view with King Charles II. Had
Raoul Dwight knife then and no
one been about | doubt not but that
/ should have felt it between my
shoulders.
His Majesty sat surrounded by his
dogs, pulling the ears of one, slapping
another over the nose with his lace
kerchief, Gliding yet another who
would be too fond. Doing thus he
kept me standing, inwardly chatting at
the delay.
At last, tired of this play, he con-
descended to speak; before doing so,
however, he gave the dog nearest him
a vicious twist Of the ear, which sent
him yelping back of his masters
chair.
so" he said, so this is the re-
doubtable Quentin Waters, son Of that
renegade Lord Waters of Long Haul,
is it,"
He looked at me long with heavy
frown on his thin face. Not an aus
picious opening certainly.

The King commanded him to leave
the room, and again resumed his play.
81 see," I said after pause. "A
mans word goes for naught in King
Charles court But your Majesty, If
l have your permission, will tell
you my reason, or rather my mission
in London"
He nodded Having successfully
demonstrated his object lesson he was
in a good humor.
my father, you already know, is
Lord Waters of Long Haut, and was
Master of the Bed Chamber to
Charles l."
The King frowned, and I thought it
best to get to the very gist of what
had to tell at once without any pref
acing.
"The two beings he held dearest in
life were His Majesty King Charles l
and his young wife. One night-it
was the night of the 18th of January,
1639-being stationed in an anteroom
by the express command of the King,
a page came to him, saying, "A mes
sage from the King Thinking it only
an ordinary missive pertaining to the
business on hand, he took it from
him, opened and read it. Here is the
paper"
took from a jeweled locket / wore
fastened to my waistcoat by rosette
of ribbons the paper l had received
from my father. had kept it secure
ly hidden in its jeweled receptacle

me a second time.
The King took it daintily rather
disdaining that old slip of paper. He
opened it with bored look; that look
turned to animated interest when he
saw it had his deceased fathers sig
net attached to it.
"a love letter." he asked.
/ nodded. Read it, Sire" begged.
"a forgery-cleverly done-and
signed with the Kings signet!" he
