CHAPTER XXI.
The Little Man Of Windsor.

There was nothing very awe inspir-
Ing in the sight of the plain, homely
looking little Dutchman walking under
the trees at Windsor; nor was there
anything more impressive in the figure
of the dumpy little woman who walked
by his side, but for all that Ellen got
down on her knees in the pathway as
the two figures approached her. Lady
Carrington's example was followed pre-
cipitately by Sir Charles and Mistress
Deborah Slocum.
"Hey!" cried the little man blink
ing and peering at the three kneeling
figures, whom have we here?" His
eye ranged from Ellen to Deborah and
comprehended the baronet kneeling in
the background. His dull face lighted
with a glance Of recognition. He knew
the army list by heart and most of the
officers appearing thereon. especially
those of any degree Of rank or sta
ton.
Sir Charles Seton, is it not?" went
on the plain little man. "and you are
a captain in the Sussex light infantry.
Rise, Sir Charles" he continued,
gravely, "and you may present me to
these ladies', your companions"
Sir Charles, glad enough to be re-
leased from his uncomfortable posi-
tion. rose to his feet and stood at at
tention with military salute. Then
bowing profoundly, he said:

was no less person than King George

Still Her Maiden Initials.

Wedding presents are still most properly marked with the brides maid en initials, notwithstanding current va garies to use the initials of the bridegroom.
 "No," said a jeweler, i've observe no tendency to change this established custom. Now and then some one pre- fers to have the brides future initials engraved This has always been done to very slight extent. It marks no new fancy. But, with few exceptions, we still mark all wedding presents with the maiden initials of the bride and this is still, for anything we know to the contrary, generally conceded to be the correct mode."

TO STOP DEVIL WORSHIP.
British Law Executes Indian Medi-
 cine Man in wiIds of Canada.

clne man In Wflds of Canada.
 Word has been received here, says . Winnipeg dispatch to the New York Times, that chief of the Fiddler In. dians in the Keewatin district of the far North has been put to death by a party of the royal northwest mounted police for the practice of We-te-go, or devil worship.
 The fact of the frequent occurrence or this ceremony by this and one or two other tribes in Canada has long been known, and the government had decided to make an example of the per. petratirs Of the first case brought to notice.
 This particular tragedy, which re. suited In full court being sent hun. dreds of miles into the lands of many happenings, occurred last fall on the shores of the Red Deer Lake. one of the widest and most inaccessible dis. trlcts in Northern Keewatin.
 That fall the young and comely squaw of William Pa-cje-quan was taken III with fever, probably scarlet fever, and all the incantations of the medicine men availed nothing, and with the advance Of the disease delirium set In. To the superstitious of the tribe this indicated that she was possessed of devil, and the uncontrolled groans of the little squaw were her death warrant.
 Upon the appearance of the delIrium the medicine men informed the chief or the appearance of the We-te-go. This was Judgment. and upon its utterance the 70-year-old stoic began to prepare Tor execution of the sentence. Mem bers Of the tribe say that this was about the twentieth time he has exc cuted capital punishment upon mem bers of his tribe possessed of the We te-go, although in this case 1t was his daughter-in-law.
 It is their belief that her only chance for reaching the happy hunting grounds lay in her death during a rational mo- ment of her delirlum. If shr died de- lirious, It would mean her souls dam- nation, and If she lived she would be crazy cannibal, devouring her own children, and the devil, or we-te-go, would go Into other members of the tribe.
 AS soon as the young matron lost her fever all the tribe assembled in the open. Foremost among the spectators was her husband. 1t being the mark of coward for relation to stay away from such an important rite. Later came the women bearing the sick woman from her tepee. The girl we'll understood the dire preparations for the awful sacrifice, but her feeble struggles were sllenced by a word and a blow.
 She was laid at the feet of the chief and his nephew Jose, and while a dozen braves held the victim the chief and Jose strangled her with a silken cord. The execution was followed by a two. day festival.
