MY SHIPS.

If all the ships have at sea
Should come assailing home to me,
Weighted down with gems and silk
and gold
All, we'll! the barber could not hold
So many sails as there would be
If all my ships came in from sea.
If half my ships come home from sea,
And brought their precious freight to
me,
All, well! l would have wealth as great
AS any King who sits in state,
So rich the treasures that would be
In half my ships now out at sea.
So Mi %E#INAA6
If just one ship have at sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All, well! the storm clouds then might
frown,
For, if the others all went down
Still rich and proud and glad I'd be
If that one ship came home to me.
If that one ship went down at sea,
And all the others came to me,
Weighted down with gems and wealth
untold,
With glory, honor, riches, gold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd be
II that one ship came not to me.
EgExssa
o skies, be calmi D winds, blow free!
Blow all my ships safe home to me!
But if thou sendest some a-wrack,
To nevermore come sailing back,
Send any, all, that skim the sea,
But bring my love ship home to me!

The runaway son or the grand duke is

years Of age. speaks English fuently.
besides French and our own languaSs.
1t seems that he attended an English
college with Prince Dantan and some
of our own young men who are still in
England. Six weeks ago he disappear
ed from his fathers home At the
same time a dozen wild and venturous
retainers left the grand duchy. The
| party was seen in Vienna a week later,
and the young duke boldly announced
| that he was off to the east to help his
/ friend Dantan in the fight for his
! throne. Going ON the theory that Bal
dos is this same ChristobAl we have
only to provide a reason for his pre-
ferring the wilds to the comforts of
our cities. In the first place, he knows
there is large reward for his appre-
hension and he fears our police. In the
second place, he does not care to direct
the attention of Prince Dantan's foes
to himself. He missed Dantan in the
hills and doubtless was lost for weeks,
but the true reason for his fight is
made plain in the story that was print
ed recently In Paris and Berlin news
papers. According to them, Christobal
rebelled against his fathers right to
select a wife for him. The grand duke
had chosen noble and wealthy bride
and the son had selected a beautiful
girl from the lower walks Of life. Fa-
Their and son quarreled and neither
would give an inch. Christobal would
not marry his fathers choice, and the
grand duke would not sanction his
union with the fair plebeian."
Here Beverly exclaimed proudly:
He doesn't look like the sort of man |
who could be buIlied into MARRYING |
anybody if he didn't want to-"
And he strikes me as the sort who |
would marry any one he set his heart |
upon having" added the princess, with
haunting glance at Miss Calhoun.
