the motley nercenaries of Lopez de
Figueroa; the dense and silent throng
which lined for miles the avenues to the
church. crowding the windows with white
mantillas, ringing the caves and ridge

every kind Of open ground. All OF these
certainly touched the imagination; but In

Lessons Of Ninety Years.
IF the ninety years since the French rev.
olution have taught anything 1t has been
that institutions grow and cannot be made
to order; that they grow out OF an actual
past, and are not to be conspired out OF
cor tecturai future; that human nature is
stronger than any invention of man.
How much of this lesson has been
learned In Spain 1t is hard to say. but II

telligence, as those who know him best
believe he will. to the conscientious exer-
else of his constitutional powers, and the
steady development of parliamentary meth

of patience Is worth pound of passion,
spain may at length count on that duration
Of tranquility, the want OF which has been
the chief obstacle to her material develop
mant.
Looked at in this light, the pomps Of
the wedding festival on the sd of last
month may be something more than mere

Derelict in Path Of Vessels.

by east Of Cape Henry, a derelict three
masted schooner floating directly in the
path Of vessels bound to the Chesapeake,

of the schooner is floating awash and with
spars floating alongside. The sails which
are on the spars appear to be patched ana
worn. and the hulk has the appearance OF
having been floating In q damaged condt-
ton for several months. No name could
be made out, but she Is thought to be

THE Atocha Is a small church and the
ceremony there was necessarily private,
thus lacking the popular affluente and the
perspective which building of grander
proportions would have given it. But the
splendor of the costumes, especially those
of the higher clergy and the heralds-at-
arms, which are the same now as 500 years
ago, gave one the feeling that he saw the
original scene of some illuminated page in
Froissart / was struck also with the look
Of genuine happiness In the faces of the
royal bridegroom and his bride, which
strongly confirmed the opinion OF those
who believe that the match is one of love
and not of convenience.
Tile ceremony over, .-.e king and queen,
preceded by the cabinet minister's the spe-
cial ambassadors and the grandees of
Spain. followed by other personages; all in
coaches of state, drove at foot pace to
the palace. where their majesties received
the congratulations of the court, and aft
erward passed in review the garrison OF
Madrid. 1t was very picturesque speeta-
Gle, and yet so comically like a scene from
Cinderella as to have strong flavor of
unreaiity. 1t was the past coming back
again and thus typified one OF the chronic
maladies of Spain. Whoever has seen the
breasts Of the peasantry fringed with
charms older than Carthage and relics as
old as Rome and those of the upper
classes plastered with decorations will not
expect Spain to become conscious of the
nineteenth century and ready to welcome 1t

old fashioned sofa where both had
sat that night when Arthur told her
what she knew alPeady-that he loved
her.
She had told him that it was her
fancy to be married on New Years eve
while watching the old year out and
the new year in. "Splendid"' Arthur

When Mary arose next morning and
looked into her mirror it seemed TO
her that the utter happiness of her
heart had made her face more beauti-
ful.
He deserves the most beautiful wo-
man in the world" she murmured.
''He IS so high minded. so honorable, so
Doble!'
The housemaid tapped at her door
and left letter Mary kissed the en-
velope before breaking the seal. 1t

Senior Partner Meredith was mis-
taken when he intimated that Vain

young man of high intelligence and
quick perceptions, he apparently had
escaped from the city and from the
country.
Young Sherwood called at the board
ing house a few days later "to report
progress he said. Plainly touched by
the beauty of Mary Morton and by her
poignant grief, he fingered a little
while to speak words Of comfort to the
girl.

Nothing turned UP, but he did call

could not be that Arthur was going
away-had gone already! She would
try TO help him. Hastily dressing, she
called at the brokerage firms Offices
and was received by the senior part
ner, who had just arrived. Like her
self, he was greatly perturbed.
The girl handed Arthur's letter TO
Mr. Meredith and tearfully made her
plea. The broker laughed scornfully.

As Miss Morton was about to de
