ever enjoyed the buzz of admiration that has greeted her entrance into a drawing room. Few have met his majesty, the king, on such cordial terms
 Of course Miss DreXel has had more than one eligible Sulor, most of them with titles. but she remains fancy free and heart whole. She is en- toying the delights of life close to the throne with all the ardor of q voting girl just out of her teens. She knows perfectly well that she mustn't be car. ried off with it--she has the discrim- mating eye of woman much older than she is herself.
 A few nights ago her mother gave a grand ball at their home iu Carlton
 House Terrace, closing the London season there. Miss DreXel set new fashion--she wore no jewels of any kind, though possessed of enough to ransom a king.
 She was in palest blue shimmering i silk. Her hair was simply parted and she looked the beautiful young gir!
 that she was. More than one who has | been in London society for years re- 1 marked that her entire costume was
 most betittinG and appropriate to her l delicate, refined beauty. Some hinted l that it would be a good thing if other
 young girls out for their first season or so would take their hint from the American girl who had everything, and drop their tendency 10 vie with
 their mothers in their display of mar velous jewels.
 l At another dance given by Mrs. 1 DreXel at which royalty was present,
 Miss DreXel was equally simple in her
 attire. She wore soft pink tulle. Seat
 tered over it were tiny pink roe abuds;
 in the petals of each lay tiny dia- l mond dewdrop. A wreath of the same rosebuds nestled in her fair hair
 and in her hand she carried a bunch
 of little pink rosebuds. Prince Francis
 of Teck was her devoted admirer and
 Miss DreXel accepted his attentions
 with easy aplomb. as she did those of
 full dozen of other titled eligibles. i Miss Droxel has two devoted at | tendants in the persons of her bro-
 thers. They have taught her to sail
 a boat, to golf and tennis, to bowl and
 keep wicket at cricket, and to
 swim. Were il not for her mothers

 that figure of c man on the ground, silently pointing out the sole road to safety! Then he was given slight turn into q position from which he was careful not to swerye the fraction of aa inch. Then came the dread command:
 Walk straight ahead,"
 II is difficult-perhaps impossible to convey to one who has not under gone such an ordeal any conception Of the dread. the horror, the shrinking, sickenins fear that crushed down in the darkness upon the stout soul of Grafton Rouse With every other sense but sight sharpened by his peril, he could hear upon the short turf the stealthy footballs of the assassins, drumming 8 death march. An inward echo of the poor guides last awful cry sounded in his ears.
 Amid this tumult of emotions, some cid acquired habit Of oeTebration kept accurate count of his footsteps, and every third time the left foot touched tie ground it was shifted automatical- ly outward the fraction of a circle.
 There was no laughter behind him now. and the silence was encourage meHt indeed; he must be walking straight. On and on he went, such an interminable distance that he began to imagine himself alone, and had an impulse to make a dash for the noun tains. bat controlled himself A few steps farther on, his foot came suddenly i'll contact with some thing that gave him the keenest thrill he had yet experienced, and he held back invo!untarily. Was it death-or life and liberty? His other foot, be- fore he could check the motion, joined the first upon a board, which emitted a hollow sound.
 "Hali!' came ringing order, the most welcome he had ever obeyed. Congratulations, senor. you walk | straight indeed. for lame man." A nlUgnuT of approval from the oth- CT voices convinced Rousse in an in- definite way, but with an infinite re- | lief, that he was somehow saved. The cords around his wrists were 1 cut, but ag the same time his legs were tied again. After waiting long

MINIATURE SPIRIT TREE.
Unique Curiosity from the Depths Of Old Ocean.

Visitors to Mayor Wings office dur ing the past few days have been in terested in a curious marine growth which occupies a prominent position on the upper ledge of the mayors desk The thing is curiosity in it's way, having base of fine coral, GOV ering space about equal to square foot. On one side Of this growth of coral are attached two specimens of sheep's wool sponge, which had grown 10 the rock But the most curious thing about the object is a tree-like growth which shoots up from the cen ter of the coral base to height of about IS inches This object is a marine plant. with a trunk like tree. symmetrical in tJs proportions aud with numerous branches reaching in every direction. The plant is blac!,

 and looks like q tree that had been blasted by some poisonous exhalation.
 The branches are very long and reach upward and upward, then droop until they touch the coral base, re- minding one of the mythical spirit tree of the Polynesias, which, accord ing to tradition, grows somewhere in the interior Of the larger islands. This tree has a series of branches, covered with flowers which invite the tray- elers' admiration, and as the unwary victim approaches they are discov- cred to be tentacles which reach downward and draw him into their horrible grasp. Once thus caught, no man has ever escaped the crushing power of these alleged horrible freaks of nature, say the natives.
 The onlooker familiar with the tale of this mythical tree cannot help won- dering if the plant which once grew on q coral reef at the bottom of the gulf and now ornaments the desk of the mayor of Tampa is some miniature of marine monstrosity with habits like those of the spirit tree.-Tampa Times.
