There is nothing to prevent the applca-

is an r. an I-do-not- know-what that at once
displeaSes the man in power. The great Cen
eral Iomini, one of the most consummately
clever and profound military men OF modern
times, never pleased Napoleon, nor was he
more fortunate with Alexander l., with
Nicholas l. of Russia He had not what the
French call the gift of pleasing" Evidently
his whole physiognomy and bearing clearly
manifested his extreme independence of char

although a Swiss not Suisse enough to please
superiors. If, now, such man persists in So
hciting high posts in the gift of Just such su-
periors whom he naturally displeases, he cannot
possibly be a success.
Thousands of excellent persons have In
this way completely missed their chief aim
in life Had they, instead of obstinately wait
ing, intriguing, and wire-pulhng for a post,
boldly struck out on the other path leading to
success, had they thrown all idea of getting an
appointment overheard, and directed them
selves to the public generally, whether as
traders or authors, according to their abilities,
they would have quickly seen that success was
within their reach.
OF this evident truth a rapid comparison be-
tween Engiishmen and Austrians viii convince
the most skeptical adversary. 1t is certain,
and easily be proved by. broad and I'M
sophisticated statistics, that among men in
England, as against men in Austria, there are
incomparably more individuals who expect
success from the public only, and do not care
to lie in wait for a post IN the gift of another.
In Austria the number of such people, out
side trade, is exceedingly small. Most people
in Austria expect promotion, improvement of

one or two individuals, mostly members of the
State, the Church, the municipalities, or the
big trading companies. Many of these eternal
candidates waste all their lives in a vain strug-
gle for the sunshine of favor; and since it is in
the highest degree probable that goodly por-
ton of these wasted existences might have
proved successful had they left their silly run

it follows with indubtable certainty that Aus

In fact, the great sleeping sickness affecting

As she rode through, Sophy paused mo-

the ancient Intel of the door.

words of farewell. He kissed her hand again,
and they departed.
1t high morning when they rode up
the ascent to St. Peters Pass and came to the
spot where their cross-road joined the main
road over the pass from Dobrava and the cap
ital. In silence they mounted to the summit.
The road under their horses feet was trampled
with the march of the thousands of men who
had passed over 1t on irresistible advance
on Slavna
At the summit of the pass they stopped,
and Sophy turned to look back She sat there
for long while in silence. " | have loved this
land, " at last she said. " 1t has given me much,
and very much it has taken away. Now the face
of it Is to be changed, But in my heart the
memory of it will not change" She looked
across the valley, across the sparkling face of
Lake Talti, to the gray walls of Volseni, and
kissed her hand. Farewell, monseigneur!"
she whispered very low

of the great snake had reached Slavna. Countess

in its gray mountains
Sophy rode forth from Kravonia in her
sheepskins and her silver ring-the last Queen
of Kravonia, the last Bailiff of Volseni, the
last chosen leader of the mountain men. But
the memory of the Red Star lived after her
how she loved monseigneur and avenged him,
how her face was fairer than the face of other
women, and more pale, and how the Red Star
glowed in sorrow and in joy, in love and in
clash of arms, promising to some glory and to
others death. In the street of Volseni and in
the cabins among the hills you may hear the
tale of the Red Star yet.
