CHAPTER xxx.
After War-Pea ce

Peaceful times had fallen upon Wallaria.
1t is whispered sometimes that the rela-
tons between the king and the queen are
not of the happiest; but who that would
publish such statement can possibly
Know the truth with any certainty. 1t is a
fact that the country is better governed.
At nights the streets of Sturatzberg are
far safer than they were formerly, and
the brigands in the hills have been dis
persed. Some political malcontents among
them have been banished, but many have
been pardoned and go in and out of the
city unmolested The court is still a brill
liant one, but in these days there is no
woman there beautiful as Frina Mavro-
din, and Lord Cloverton is no longer Brit
ish ambassador. He has been transferred
to Paris, and this fact alone is sufficient
to show that the powers are more agreed
concerning Wallaria. A less experienced
man than Lord Cioverton is now at the
embassy, and has mad no such troublous
times to steer through as fell to his prede-
cessor.
Yet Princess Martha is not forgotten in
Sturatzberg, and for small bride many q

man will tell the traveller her romantic
history, and will perhaps whisper in his
ear, as though the spirit of revolution We're
not altogether dead in him:
Il was among those who fought that DAY
in the GIande Place"
So long as they live Desmond Ellerey
and his wife will not forget that day, but
they seldom speak of it. 1t is quite certain
that Martha has never regretted the king
dom she lost. Love has crowned her lie
and she is satisfied.
Long since has 1t been known that the
story which drove Ellerey away from his
country was a lie, told and substantiated
by the real culprit to shield himself. BY
this mans tardy confession Ellerey
him to return to England at once, but he
did not do so. When his brother died and
he became Sir Desmond Ellerey, he did re-
turn for awhile, however staying for
some time with his old and stanch
friends, Sir Charles and Lady Martin, and
his beautiful wife caused sensation. She
visited her old school, and she stood with
her husband upon the downs on the very
spot where they had first met But Eng
land was not for them. they decided, and
their permanent home is in Italy, in sight
Of dancing, blue waters and under blue
sky.
And in this italian home is Stefan whose
chief duty seems to consist in worshipinS
Ellereys small son, who is going to be
soldier when he grows up and win wife
like his mother. just MS father did. 1t
Is Stefan who tells him stories of the
past. Stefan who fashions wooden swords
for him, and who would willingly lay down
his life for his father, mother or son.
"Once 1 didn't care for anybody"
Stefan said to the lad We day.
You didn't know father then"
NO; and for a long time after that
hated women
Until you met my mother?' asked the
boy. e.
YES; and until knew Grigosie"
''Grigosie? Who was Grigosie?"
'She was a princess
MY mother is princess. Father
says So"
and some day, when you are old
enough. he will tell you all about Grigosie
too, and how it is you are not a king"
Mother sometimes calls me her little
king" said the boy.
Il don't wonder. Now it's time to mount
and charge home"
So the little warrior is quickly lifted on
Stefan's shoulder, and with waving
wooden sword and with curls flying, is
whired off on his willing charger.

embodying means for opening cans,
squeezing lemons, MASKING potatoes and
similar operations The base of this uten-
sill has fiat lower surface to be used as
a potato-mashing head and a slotted
squeezing cone extending upward from
the base. The cone enters a cavity in
conical-shaped portion above carried by
the shank of the implement. Extending
entirely around the cone are number of
openings, the juice squeezed from the
lemons being thus discharged. Pivotally
connected to the shank is a hand lever,
by means Of which the implement is
manipulated for MASKING potatoes and
squeezing lemons. At the side Of the inn

necessarily confined to the army. At the
last meeting Mr.. McKelvey read paper
on the Hawaiian Islands and their inhab
tants, and their habits and modes of liv-

the nomination of the second candidate, Mr..

In addition to being the present president
of Columbia Union. Mr.. Parsons is also ma

committee. He is native of Alabama.
His friends say he is a man of ability and

to the effect that those members of the
local body who refused to obey the in
structions of the union to pay the strike

not be again admitted to membership until
they shall pay into the union their ba ok

Everybody is busy in the har-
vest this week, and there is little
time to study about our fall fair.
Nevertheless, the West Tennessee
Fair Association is getting ready
for that event. The wheat pros
poets at the present time give us q
more hopeful view of the fair, and
in a few days the committees win
begin to advertise the fall meet
ing. Among the new features to
be introduced this year is a COM
petitiye drill, in which every pub
lie school in the county is invited
to take part. The drill will be I'M

be admitted free of charge to the
fair grounds on Wednesday, Sep

place on that bay. The Woman's

that the rock in the lake hills
would be just as practical as that
which Mr.. Troy is using on the
streets in Union City for road bed
purposes. All we would need in
the way of gravel would be the
cement gravel for surface work.
So. we say, that with the expen-
diture of $4,000 by the citizens
of Union City, we could have
grayeled roads connecting Union
9th with Samburg and graveled
roads leading across the Obion
River in Number Seven.
Union City can get along very
well for some time with the amount
of streets she has already contract
ed for. The county roads propo-
sition is worth far more to us than
street improvements in Union
City. Everybody knows that.
Let some man take hold of this
1t would be worth
untold benefits to Union City and
the territory east and west of us.

take hold. Some of the fronts here
haven't been painted since the
food-not the flood last winter

anyway. You are getting some
good streets now; why not dress
up and brighten the fronts of your

The Carman & Murphy City
