Last night he had believed that theI

Last night he had believed that there
would NOT be room in mans heart
for more love- than his held for Helen
Mowbray; but, realizing to the full
how great was the danger of losing
her. he found that his love had grown
beyond reckoning.
He had thought it sacrifice to sug-
gest morganatic marriage. Now a
voice seemed to say in his ear: THE
price you offered was not enough. is
love worth all to you or. not?" And he
answered: st Is worth all. l will offer
all. jet not count it sacrifice. That is
love. and nothing less is love-"
A white light broke before his eyes
like a meteor bursting. and the. voice
in his ear spoke words that sent q
flame through his veins.
Il will do it." he said. "Who is
there among my people who will dare
say NO to their emperor's 'Yes?' !
will make new law. will be law
unto myself"
His face, that had been pale, was
flushed. He tore up the unfinished
telegram and wrote another, which he
signed LEO. the Chamois Hunter"
Then, when he had handed in the
message and paid. there was but just
time to buy his ticket. engage whole
first class compartment for himself
and dash into it before his train was
due to start.
AS it moved slowly out of the big
station LeopolG's brain rang with the
noble music of his great resolve. He
could see nothing. think Of nothing,
but that His arms ached to clasp his
love- His lips. cheated last night. al
ready felt her kisses, for she would.
give them now, and she would give
herself. He was treading the past of
an empire underfoot in the hope of a
future with her, and every throb Of
the engine was taking him nearer to
the threshold Of that future.
But such moments of supreme ex-
aftation come rarely in a lifetime. The
heart Of man or woman could not beat
on for long with such Wild music for
accompaniment, and so it was that as
the moments passed the song Of the
emperor's blood fell to minor key.
He thought passionately of Virginia,
but he thought of his country as we'll
and tried to weigh the effect upon 9TH
ers of the thing that he was prepared
to do. There was no one on earth
whom Leopold Of Rhaetia need fear.
but there was one to whom he owed
much. one whom it would be grieyous
to offend.
In his fathers day one man. old
even then, had built upon the founda-
tions OF tragic past a great and pros
perous nation. This man had been to
Leopold what his father had never
been and, without the magic power of
Inspiring warm affection. had instillel
respect and gratitude in the breast of
an enthusiastic boy.
"Poor old Won Breitstein!' the en-
peror sighed. 1.-THE country is his idol
the country with all the old tradi-
tions. He'll feel this break sorely. I'd
spare him if could. But can't live
my life for him."
He sighed again and looked up.

meant intrusion.

there stood the chancellor at the door

So far the wording was simple. He
had signified his intention and express
ed his wish, which would have been

more than enough to assure the accom-
plishment of his purpose had he been
dealing with subject Unfortunately.
however, Helen Mowbray was not
subject and had exhibited no sign Of
subjection. 1t was therefore futile to
prophesy whether or no she would
choose TO grant his request.
Revolving the pros and cons, he was
forced to conclude that she probably
would not grant it-unless he had some
new argument to bring forward. Yet
what had he to urge that he had not
already urged twice over? What could
he say at this eleventh hour which
would not only induce her to await his
coming at Felgarde, but Justify him
in making last appeal when he came
to explain it in person?
AS he stood pen in hand suddenly he
found himself recalling q fairy story
which he had never tired Of reading III
his childhood Under the disguise Of
fancy it was lesson against vacilla-
ton aud he had often said to himself
as a boy that when he grew up he
would not. like the prince Of the story,
miss a gift Of the gods through weak
hesitation.
The pretty legend in his mind had
for a hero a young prince who went
abroad to seek his fortune and receiv-
ed from one Of the fates to whom he
paid a visit three magic citrons, which
he must cut open by the side of a GER
tain fountain He obeyed his instruc-
tions. but when from the first citron
sprang an exquisite fairy maiden, de-
manding a drink Of water, the young
man lost his presence Of mind. While
he sat staring the lovely lady van
ished, and with second experiment 1T
was the same. Only the third citron
remained Of the fate's squandered
gifts, and when the prince cut it in
half the maiden who appeared was so
much more beautiful than her sisters
that in adoring wonder he almost lost
her as he hadelost the others.
'My knife Is on the rind of the last
citron now" Leopold said to himself.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1909.

Tt is given out by members OF the
Commercial Club that, within the next
few days, they expect to get, busy for
some substantial Improvements for the
coming year and will take the neces-
sary steps to accomplish these results.
One of the things contemplated is a
primary department of the public school,
to be located on the west side for the ac-
comodation of those in that section, to
be under the same management as at
present. The convenience to the small
children on west side is not to be estl-
mated in dollars and cents when we
take all in consideration that it means
to the people of that locality,
Then we expect to see the Govern
ment building erected somewhere in
Union City next year and let's alfwork
to that end. Anywhere in good To-
cation ought to satisfy everybody,
whether its your preference or not
Then we propose to connect the q.
railroad with Union City Look how

Union City, and we will say so, too. 1t
will be as close as most roads are in cit
les to the greater part of the city We
ought to find fifty men in one day that
will give $4,000 each to build this road,
and if this was done, before another
Lsummer is gone the road would be in
Separation.
Let all get busy and talk much to
build up our town, and great will be
%he increase; and whether you arefl
property owner or not, you will be ben
Gifted, as every citizen will directly or
indirectly get some benefit from this
road.
Talk your town and pay your part,
and all of these things will be done.

subscribers, it's readers, those who bor-
row the paper and help us read our
exchanges, and try to make due return
in our efforts to get out good, clean
county paper. While all this is true
and we take off our hat, now too little,
to acknowledge appreciation, it seems
to us that the gentleman's modesl{

relate among his friends and his home

Great Britain and Japan.

The proofs multiply that since clam
Orous protests were excited among the
Wings by the Peace Of Utrecht no con-
vention concluded by Great Britain with
foreign Power has come 10 be viewed
by the British people with more dissatis-
faction than the treaty of alliance made
with Japan on August II, 1905. Espe-
cially keen is the dislayor with which
that covenant is regarded by the pur-
veyors Of British manufactures to the
Far Fast, by British merchants residing
in Singapore, Hongkong and Shanghai,
and by British capitalists interested in
northern China.
The boycott Of Japanese goods which
has been organized in Canton and which
is acquiring wide extension in southern
China threatens to deprive Japan Of her
best customers and is accruing to the
benefit Of British traders, who are the
principal commercial rivals Of the Mi
kado's subjects in the Middle Kingdom,
So serious are the losses already caused
by the boycott that Viscount HAYAsHl,
Japanese Minister at Pekin, has warned
China that she will be held responsible
for them, though it is hard TO see how
she fairly can be deemed accountable for
a movement which up TO this time has
been conducted in a most orderly and
peaceful way. According to a telegram
from Shanghai japanese provocative
agents are trying to secure pretext for
a claim against the Pekin Government
by stirring up trouble in Canton, their
method being to attempt TO force the
Cantonese to purchase goods. From
the same source we learn that japanese
newspapers are accusing British mer-
chants in Hongkong Of fomenting Sc
cretly the boycott

family in South Africa, and that coun-
try will probably remain empty until
many other lands are more crowded
than they now are.
Prior TO 1904 statistics Of American
trade with South Africa were reported
in combination with those of East and
West Africa. Our sales to the whole
area amounted TO SSl 100000 in 1902,
and probably at least so per cent, of
this was for the South African account.
The total last year was 3lO,4O3,s7O, Of
which a little less than s,OOO,OOO was
charged to South Africa
In the course Of three or four genera
tions the world will probably need the
vast plateau Of central South Africa
and the tropical aud subtrOplcal strip
along its eastern, western and southern
boundaries. Until that time comes II
