order"
The duke had never been talked to
so plainly in all his life. For while
he was without voice, but had plenty
of color. 1T is easily explained" he
finally bawled out to her. Her high
ness has eloped!"
The girl stared at him with wide
eyes. "Eloped?" she breathed family.
Yes. eloped"
Betty wondered If she heard Alright,
or if the duke were out of his mind:
and then she recollected her conversa-
ton with the princess. Her mouth
opened as if to speak, but instead she
closed her lips tightly. That wilful

He strobe over to the window and
drew the curtains about him. Below,
the night crowds were wandering
about the streets; the band was play
ing in the Volksgarten; carriages were
rolling to and from the opera; the
fountain in the center of the square
sparkled merrily in the glare of the
arc lights. But the duke saw none of
these things. Rather he saw the tele-
graphic dispatches flying to the four
ends of the globe, telling the peoples
that he, the Grand Duke of Barscheit,
had been outwitted by girl; that the
Princess Hildegarde had eloped with a
man who was not the chosen one. In
other words. he saw himself laughed
at from one end of the continent to
the other. (There is something very
funny in domestic troubles when they
occur in another mans familyD No,
the duke saw not the beauty of the
night; instead of stars he saw aster-
isks. that abominable astronomy of
the lampoonists. He had never doubt
ed the girls courage; but to elope!
. And who the devil had eloped
with her? He knew the girls natural

CHAPTER vIII.-continued.

The valet hurried to the dresser and
returned with the dukes state eye

liberately upon the end of his noble
nose. He opened the letter and read
it's contents. The valet watching him
slyly, saw him grow pale. then red, and
finally purple,-wrath has it's rainbow.
His hands shook, the glasses slipped
from his palpitating nose. And grieve
to relate that his serene highness
swore something marvellous to hear.
"Damnation!' he said, or some such
word. The little fool" Then, sud-
denly remembering his dignity and the
phrase that no man is hero to his
valet, he pointed to his glasses, at the
same time returning the letter to it's
envelope, this letter which had caused
this momentary perturbation. Call
the minister of police. You will find
him in the smoking-room off the con-
servatory. Make all haste!"
The valet flew out of the door, while
the duke began pacing up and down
the room, muttering and growing, and
balling his fists, and jingling his shin
ing medals. He kicked over an inof-
fensive hassock and his favorite hound.

80 TO FARMING,

A good living is what compare
lively few men succeed in making
in village or city life, and yet moth
ing is more easy of accomplish
ment on the farm. Besides, there
is pleasure in cultivating and
embellishing the earth, improving
and increasing it's products and
thus adding to the aggregate of hu-
man happiness. Why, then, should
young men hesitate to be farmers?
1t is both profitable and honorable.
1t is the nearest approximation to
independence that q man, as q
member of society, can make. A
gentleman farmer-and all farm
ers are, or should be, gentlemen
belongs to ali order of nobility that
is not indebted>t to place holders for
installation, and may. if he
chooses, be ranked among the
greatest benefactors of the human
race. Let the idle young men go
to work on farms, and quit seeking
third and fourth rate clerkships
In short, go to farming and quit
begging.
