The Spanish Royal Standard.

The Spanish royai standard is most
complicated. The red and yellow Of
the Spanish nag is said to be derived
from this occurrence: In 1873 Charles
the Bold dipped his fingers in the blood
Of Godfrey, count Of Barcelona, and
draw them down the counts golden
shield In token of his appreciation Of
the latter's bravery The shield, so
marked, became the arms Of BARGE
Iona, which became part Of Aragon,
and its arms were taken by that king
dom. Now to the royal standard: In
the first quarter or upper left hand
part of the flag are the arms OF Leon
and CASTLE, the lion and the castle.
The second quarter is taken up one
half by the arms Of Aragon, one-half
by the arms of Sicily. The upper third
of the third quarter-directly under
the first-shows the Austrian colors.
The lower two-thirds is divided be-
tween the flag of Burgundy and the
black lion of Flanders. The upper
third of the fourth quarter shows the
checkers. another Burgundian device,
while the lower two-thirds is shared
by the red eagle Of Antwerp and the
golden lion of Brabant, and on the top
Of all this are two shields, one showing
the Portuguese arms, the other the
French fleur-de-lis. Considerable Of a
flag that.

hatred which Quarter had entertained
for his pretty cousin from the depths
of his silk wadded cradle. AS for
Kemp Ferrall, now third vice presi-
dent of Intercounty, he only laughed
with the tolerance of a man in safety,
and, looking at Quarter through the
pickets of the financial fence, not only
forgot how close his escape had been,
but, being busy and progressive
young man, began to consider how he
might ultimately extract little profit
from the expensive tenant of the in

Then she drove to the Santa Regina,
where Marion was to join her in her
return to Shotover. And she was al
ready trying to make up her disturbed
mind as to which might prove the
more suitable for Marion-Captain
Voucher, gloomily recovering from his
defeat by Quarter, or Billy Fleetwood,
who didn't want to marry anybody.
In the meanwhile Siward's new du-
ties as second vice president of Inter
county had given him scant leisure for
open air convalescence. He was busy
with Plank. He was also busy with
the private investigation stirred up at
the PATRONS club and the Lenox and
which was slowly but inevitably re-
sulting in clearing him, so that his
restoration to good standing and full
membership remained now only mat
ter of formal procedure.
So Siward was becoming a very
busy man among men, and Plank, still
carrying on his broad shoulders bur-
dens unbearable by any man save such
man as he, shook his heavy head and
ordered Siward into the open. And
Siward, who had learned to obey,
Obeyed.
But September had nearly ended
when Leila. in Plank's private car, at
tended by Siward and Sylvia and two
trained nurses, arrived at the Fells.
The nurses-Plank' idea-were a sur
prise to Leila, and the day after her
arrival at the Fells she dismissed
them, got out of bed and dressed and
came downstairs all alone on pair Of
sound though faltering legs.
Sylvia and Siward were in the music
room. very husily- figuring out the
probable cost of a house in that section
of the city east of Park avenue, where
the newly married imprudent are form

those reckless brides who marry for
love and are obliged to drive over two
car tracks to reach their wealthy

Frsnkness In Invitations.

Among curiosities which are models
of frankness is thafollowing:
Lord and Lady Spencer request the
honor Of - company at dinner at
half past 6 o'clock on -. An answer
is particularly desired. Nobody waited
for after ( O'clock"
On many invitations the time was, of
course, stated, and "a polite answer
requested" or sometimes "A reply
would oblige," but the letters "R. 8.
V. P" were hardly ever used at this
date, their first mention being in 1871,
on the card of Lord and Lady Kerry.
Indeed, till quite recently IAN answer
will oblige" was the general formula.
and it is only in the last thirty years
that the French form has been at all
generally adopted In England.-Wind-

A Woman's Fsce.

No words can express the almost d.
vine love and tenderness and the per-
feet trust and happiness Of that girl
wife's face as she looked into the eyes
Of her husband-and smiled. Other

fade away. but that sweet woman's
face remains stamped on my memory
forever.-Wynne in London Reader.

He looked straight into her eyes,
fearlessly, tenderly, and she looked
back with the divine, untroubled gaze
of child, laying her slender, sun
tanned hands in his.
And, deep In his body, as he stood
there, he heard the low challenge of
his soul on guard, and he knew that
the enemy listened.
