 "Good." said, and offered him my hand.
 He took 1t with his left. "She was worth fighting for, Beppo; and another time Beltano must send someone else in my place on such an errand. She fooled us cleverly; and for the mo- ment even I believed she had those men in the house"
 "The place is full of them" replied I did not wish him or anyone to think that Masita was without protection.
 But he shook his head. Now, per haps. But had that fool, Drako. had as much courage as a mouse there would have been another story to car ry back to Beltano."

 The Dutch people are showing in- tense anxiety over the question of the royal succession since the pros pect of Queen wiihelmina dying without children is no longer remote.
 The Queen objects to the matter be- ing discussed, bat her ministers in- sist that 1t win be necessary to name an heir to the throne if none Is born within the next few years.
 The recent visit of the King of wur- temberg is supposed to be connected with the succession question. There are three likely candidates. The fav- ,orite is the Prince gu .wied by req son of his diplomatic connections and relations with the royal family. An other candidate Is Prince Reuss, a German naval officer. aged thfrty-two. Prince lRuesss youger brother also stands a chance. He was recently a guest of Queen wilhelmina. He is more popular than his elder brother. E One reason for Dutch anxiety Is the report persistently spread by the Brit fish press that Emperor Wilhelm has designs on Holland. and would take the failure of the succession as sig nal to unify The Netherlands with the German empire.

Paris, April 4.-The transfer or the ashes of Emile Zola to the Pantheon which took place with imposing cere-' monies the day before yesterday aroused a great many protests from people who did not think the great author and champion of Dreyfus worthy of this great national honor.
 There are those who cannot forgive zola. that he revealed to the world the abuses and weak points of the French army and a writer in the we'll known Paris .'Gaulois" says:
 That Zcla's earthly remains have been transferred to the Pantheon is of secondary interest and should not be commented upon here, were it not for the fact that French soldiers were ordered to take part in the process sion.
 ..Ihe French people. who justly re- coRnixe Zola's literary merits, should not forget and will not forget. that before he exposed the heads of our army to public contempt he siandered in one of his books our soldiers, who had no part in the Dreyfus scandal.
 Ills novel La Debacle' is an odious libel against the French army and one must necessarily ask what motives induced the government of France to give military escort of honor to the man, who was the first champion of antf-miiitarism.
 saThat the Pantheon was decorated in color scheme of orange and purple takes on a sinister import. Purple is the color of mourning and surely al least half of the French military uni forms in procession in honor of q man who insulted our glorious ar my"

Ingenious Method Pursued by the

II you were q woodcutter and some.

that would give sixty foot mast for
a vessel, how would you go about Sc
lecting a tree? You could not spare
the time to measure 1t with a tape
line even II that method were prac'
ticable. Besides, being wOOdcntter
you should be able TO select n tree OF
certain height readily. not by merely
looking at 1t, for this at best Is moth
ing but guesswork.
Now. the woodcutters Of Maine have
a quick and simple way OF taking the
measure, and 1t is worth telling. As
Stunning that a mast sixty feet in height
Is wanted. the cutter selects Il tree
that he thinks will furnish 1t and then
measures Off on the ground from the
trunk sixty feet less his own height
II he Is six feet tall, therefore. he
would measure off on the ground fifty
four feet. At this point he puts up
right IN the ground pole exactly his
own height. Then he lies down on the
ground with his feet to the pole. SC
that his head is just sixty feet from
the tree. Lying thus. face upward. of
course. he sights over the top Of the
pole. and the point on the tree trunl;

WY the BROOK SINGS.
How the Nightingale Lost Its Once
Brilliant PIumaqe.


Brilliant PIumase.
Long, long ago, thousands Of years
before man came on. the earth, the
nightingales wore the most splendid
plumage of any bird. AS they were
also the sweetest singers, as now, you
may imagine that none was their su-
perior In the bird world.
OF course the nlghtingales~were very
proud. This Eas natural. One young
fellow. however, became 30 vain as to
be almost unbearable.
"Who Is so fine singer as 1? Who
has So handsome dress as I" This
was the burden Of his song day after
day.
But the time came when the young
nightingale warbled no more In the
moonlight. A fairy, tired Of listening
to his Boosting, came to him.
idle braggart," said she, this night
will you cease your trillIng. Hereafter
you will sing and sing and sing. but
not the notes Of the nightingale. And
your relations will wear less brilliant
garb from this time"
All Mt once the nightingale became
little brook. The brooks, which
heretofore were silent, now murmured
softly and unsteady, but the vain
nightingale no longer burst into glori-
Gus melody of song.
AS for the other nightingales. al
though they continued to sing as
sweetly as ever, their plumage became
modest reddish brown color instead
Of having Its former radiant hues. So
were they punished.
