befallen him.

The whisper came over his shoulder
from young man who had been
standing all the time twisting his mus
tache. bid your horsemen bit and
bride. The plain is fair before you
1t is a long way to Kernsberg. Let no
wench in the world put this shame
upon a reigning prince of Courtland
upon his wedding day"
Thus Ivan of Muscovy, attired in
silk, banded of black and gold. coun-
seled the disdained Prince Louis, who
stood pushing upward with hitttwo
fingers the point of his thin greyish
beard and gnawing its struggling ends
between his teeth.
The Prince Louis appeared to be
moved by Prince Wasp's words. He
turned about to the nearest knight-in-
waiting.
Let us to horse-every man of us!"
he said bid that the steeds be
brought instantly
The banded Wasp had further coun-
sells to give.
Give out that you go to meet the
princess at a rendezvous. For a
pleasantly between yourselves, you
have resolved to spend the honeymoon
at a distant hunting-lodge. Quick!
Not half a dozen of all the company
caught the true import of her words.
You will tame her yet"
At the command of the prince the
trumpets rang out again the Boot
and-saddle." from the steps of the
cathedral. At the sound, the grooms,
who were here and there in the press,
hasted to find and caparison the
horses of their lords. Meanwhile, on
| the wide steps the Prince Louis
fretted. dinting his nails restlessly in
to his palms and shaking with anger
and disappointment till his deep
| sleeves shook like scarlet flames in a
veneering wind.

TREASURE OF ART FOR FRANCE.
Valuable Painting Brought from Italy

valuable Painting Brought from Italy
to the Metropolis.
Theodore Coe arrived from Italy
this week. bringing a curious large
painting entitled THE Mouth of Hell. -
representing monster jaws toward
which are drawn human beings in the
midst of flames.
1t is supposed to be part of an orig
inal composition of Maffeo da Verona.
which served in the decoration of one
of the cupolas Of St. Marks. Mr.. Coe
discovered it at the home of a priest
in Venice. who kept 1t rolled up in a
dark corner. not suspecting that he
had work of art of great historical
value. He declared high valuation
to the official charged with authoriz-
ing the expectation, who said it was
too high, and allowed Mr.. Coe to take
the picture from the country on a les
ser valuation.
The inspector at the bureau of ex-
portation in Milan declares he gave
the permit simply because the paint
ing was not of great artistic or intrin-
sic value.-New York Herald.

Made Good in Eorlorn Hone.

Finis j. Garrett, the new congress-
man from the Ninth Tennessee dis
trict, seemed to have been a forlorn
hope when he entered the race
against Rice A. Pierce. who had been
in congress fourteen years. But he
took the stump, arrayed in decidedly
rusty suit of clothes, on the single
issue that Mr.. Pierce had had enough
and that the good things of life should
be passed around. The voters of the
district agreed with this. their sym
pathies being with the seedy-looking
but evidently brainy youth, and Gar
ret won out.

Theolog-Not at all, professor. The
term ''planked fish" comes from Jonah
being compelled to walk the plank.
This, in conjunction with the fact that

CHAPTER x.
At the HIqh Altar.


When Maurice Won Lynar reached
the open air he stood for full five min
utss, light-headed in the rush of the
city traffic The loud reiteration of
rejoicing sounded heartless and even
impertinent in his ear. The world had
changed for the young Dane since the
Count Won Loen had been summoned
by the Princess Margaret.
He cast his mind back over the In
terview, but failed to disentangle any
thing definite. 1t was maze of i'm
pressions out of which grew the GER
tainty that safely to play his difhcult
part he must obtain the whole conn-
dence of the Duchess Joan.
The young Dane found the duchess
walking up and down on the noble
promenade which faced the river to
the west.
"Ah. Won Lynar. my brave Dane.
what good wind brings you here?" she
cried. II declare was longing for
some one to talk to-" A consciousness
of need which had only just come
upon her
Il have seen the Princess Margaret"
said the youth slowly. "and | think
that she must mistake me for some
other person. She spoke things most
strange to me-"
The eyes of the duchess danced
load seemed suddenly lifted off her
mind
WAS she very angry?" she queried,
Very" returned Won Lynar. smil-
ing in recognition of her smile.

First she would have 1t that my
name and style was that of the Count
Won Loen. Then she reproached me
fiercely because l denied it. After
that she spoke of certain foreign GUS
toms she had been taught, recalled
walks through corridors and rose gar
dens with me, till my head swan
and I knew not what to answer"
Joan of the Sword Hand laughed
merry peal.
"The Count Won Loen, did she say?"
she mediated well, SO you are the

give you also herewith the estates
which pertain to the title. They are
situated on the borders of Reichenau.
1 am SO happy tonight that l would
like to make all the world happy l
am sorry for all the folk l have in
jured."
Love changes all things" said the
Dane, sententiously.
The duchess looked at him quickly.
You are in love-with the Princess
Margaret?v she said.
The youth blushed deep crimson
with flooded his neck and dyed his
dusky skin.
Poor Mauricel" she said, touching
his bowed head with her hand, your
troubles will not be to seek"

the princess in all things. She has
been kind to me. She has forgiven

"So-you are to change your allegi-
ance," said the duchess. But how
did you manage to appease her? That
is no mean feat. She is an imperious
lady and quick Of understanding"
Then Maurice Won Lynar told his
mistress of his most allowable false
hoods, and begged her not to unde-
ceive the princess, for that he would
rather bear all that she might put
upon him than that she should know
he had lied to her.
DO not be afraid" said the duchess.

 men.

Suit was instituted Monday by certain depositors of the Bank of Newport, acting through their attorneys, Campbell & Suits, to secure the return of the collateral held by the bondsmen who be- came sureties for the Bank of Newport in the loan made by the county on October 9, 1905 of $45. .421.23 to the suspended bank.
 The moneys loaned by the county are continually being drawn upon for current expenses and at the time of the banks suspension, the amount due the county was $24, 923. 79. Upon this point, the books of the bank and the County Treasurer tally to a cent, the~ county commits sioners of a0 s, consisting of w. R. Fl R. w.

 The sureties for the Bank of Newport in this loan from the county required the bank to put up indemnifying collateral in the sum of about $24,000. This col- lateral was paper due the bank.

STATE RANKS SEVENTH.
Arkansas Now Stands Seventh in List Oi Cotton Producers as Result of
 Decreased Acreage.

Arkansas was the Seventh cotton producing state in the country last year according to the report recently issued by Chief Statistician w. M. Stewart. The report also gives the states for some years back, and their relation as cotton producers. In 1899 Arkansas was sixth, in 1900 fifth, in 1901 fifth, in 1902 fourth. The average production of cot ton for the last four years is Il, 339, 323 bales or 534, 767 bales in excess of the crop grown last year. The average production per year of the seven year period that is covered by the tables shows that 10,679, 932, or 124, ,623 less than last years crop, The production of cotton in every state last year was far below the amount raised in 1904, particu- larly in Texas, Louisiana, Mis- sissipk,i and Arkansas. The heavy loss was brought about by the reduction in planted area and the excessively bad weather. The overhowing of the Red and Mississippi rivers caused the abandonment of large areas.
 The statement shows that there were 2, 2,521 gins operated in this state during the last years, while in 1903 there were 2,698. Each gin averaged 260 bales. The cotton crop was $10,000, 900 less than the value for the preceding year. Mississippi coun,y was the largest cotton producing countyin the state in 905, pro- ducing 27, ,079 bales.
