 Some people are so extremely right eous. pleaded Markart ruefully. And. anyhow, he has reformed now"
 Because he's old?"
 ''Fifty-nine Is that so very old? No; rather attribute it Gou're discreet, I hope? I'm putting my fortunes in your hands, to Mime. la Comtesse."

 Not intimate. think And is the countess progressively respectable, Cap tain Markart?"
 Women in her position always are" said the captain, with an affected sigh. His round. chubby face was wrinkled with merriment. You see, a morgan atic marriage isn't such a well estab- lished institution here as in some other. countries Oh, it's legal enough no doubt if it's agreed to on that basis, but the Stefanovitches have ill the past often made nonroyal maria ges-with their own subjects generally. We'll, there was nobody else for them to mar ry! Alexis got promotion in his first marriage-an Italian Bourbon, which is always respectable if not very brilliant. That gave us position. and it couldn't be thrown away. So the second mar riage had to be morganatic. Only well, women are ambitious. and she has a young son who bears the kings name. boy twelve years old.'
 He looked re1ectively at his polished boots. Sophy sat in thoughtful silence. 4 jingle of swords and the clatter of hoofs reused them. A troop of soldiers rode by. Their uniform was the same smart tunic of light blue, with black facings, as adorned Captain Markart's shapely person.
 "Ah. here's the princew said Markart, rising briskly to his feet. Sophy fol- lowed his example. though more in curiosity than in respect.
 The young man at the head of the troop returned Markart's salute, but was apparently unconscious of the in dividual from whom it proceeded. He rode by without turning his head or giving a glance in the direction of the cafe terrace Sophy saw refined pro- file, with a straight nose, rather short, and a pale cheek. There was little trace of the Bourbon side of the pedi- gree.
 He's on his promotion, too," con

WRlGntS ouAR AGAIN.
Make Another Successful Test of Their
 Flying Machine.

Manteo, N. c, May 14.--Over the mar. row and forsaken stretch of country that juts out in the sand dunes into the Atlantic ocean the aeroplane invented by the Wright brothers of Dayton, O.s made two flights with apparently thd most successful results. The aeroplanS worked perfectly, and the ship sailed, gracefully into the air. executed vari-' ous maneuvers at the will of the in- ventors and dropped back to earth without a hitch.
 The inventors, who sailed their own machine, seemed greatly pleased at the results accomplished by the experi- ments. They made an early start, a plan in keeping with their efforts to screen the movements of the airship from the public. Only d few newspa- per correspondents, the keeper of the lonely life saving station at Kill Devil hill and native here and there wit. messed the work in the air.
 The first flight made was in a straightaway course. and the airship sped gracefully along the route mapped out for it for three-quarters of mile. Then followed an effort of more seri. ous pretensions. the aeroplane this time making a complete circle and covering a distance of approximately three miles. Both times the machine was ap- parently under the most perfect con. trol and in every move appeared to re. spond to the guiding efforts of the two aeronautS

 No word comes from Sophy herself. and Mme Zerkovitch is brief. She showed me the picture. The bullet passed exactly through where that mark on her cheek is. It was fearful. I shuddered.

Four Coal Miners Killed.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. May 14.-A fall of rock and coal in the Prospect colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company al Midvale, near here. killed four mine workers and injured three others. A trip of runaway cars jumped track and disturbed the propping. Seven men started to the spot to put the cars back when two falls of roof came down on them in quick succession. All were caught. The four men killed were buried beneath tons of rock and coal.

"HE ancient city of Slavna, for
 a thousand years VI more and
 unde" many dyna ees the capi-
 tai of kravOnia. is an island set in a plain. It lies in the broad valley of the krath, which at this point flows due east. Immediately above the city the river divides into two branches. known as the North and South rivers. Slavna is clasped in the embrace of these channels. Conditioned by their course. Its form is not circular. but pear shaped. for they bend out in grad ual broad curves to their greatest dis tance from one another. renpproach- ing quickly after that point is passed till they meet again at the end. or, rather. what was originally the end. Of the city to the east. The single re- united river may stand for the stalk ot the pear.
 In old days the position was q strong one Nowadays 1t is obviously much less dsfensible. and those in power had recognized this fact in two ways first by aIlocating money for a new and scientific system of fOrtificatiOns. sec ond by destroying almost entirely the ancient and out of date walls which had once been the protection of the city. Part of the wall on the north side. indeed. still stood. but where 1t had escaped ruin it was incumbered and built over with warehouses and wharfs. for the North river is the channel of commerce and the medium of trade with the country round about To the south the wall has been entirely demolished. ifs site being occupied by boulevard. on to which faces a line of handsome modern residences. for as the North river is for trade. 90 the South is for pleasure. and this bouIe- yard has been carried across the stream and on bey7nd the old limits of the city and runs for mile or farther on the right hank of the reunited Krsfh. forming a delightful and well shaded promenade. where the citizens are accustomed to take their various forms of ezercise-

He' . " 9 s thought to her
 's"'"e' "''''' self. S sm lin g perhaps rather bitterly. "Home!" Her home now was a single room over a goldsmith's shop, whither she had removed to relieve Marie Zerkovitch from hospitality too burdensome, as Sophy feared, for her existing re- sources to sustain.
 The reverie bore breaking. It had been none too pleasant. Ill 1t sad memories disputed place with present difficulties. Some third or so remained of Lady Meg's hundred pound note. Necessity had forced the use of the money at any cost to pride. When all was gone Sophy would have to depend on what is so often last and so often a vain refuge-the teaching of French. It was the only subject which she could claim to teach. Verify, it was a poor prospect. It was better to look at the officers and the ladies than to think of it-aye. better than to think of Casi. mir and of what lay in the past With her strong will she strove to steel her self alike against recollection and against apprehension.
 The cafe was nearly deserted. The hour was too early for the citizens, and Sophy's own chocolate had been merely an excuse to sit down. Yet presently a young officer in hussar uniform stop. ped his horse opposite the door and, giving over the reins to an orderly who attended him.. nimbly dismounted. Tall and fair, with pleasant. open face, he wore his finery with dashing air and caressed a delicate upturned mustache as he glanced around, choosing his seat. The next moment he advanced toward Sophy Giving her a polite salute, he indicated q little table next to hers.
 "Mademoiselle permits?" he asked. "She has. fear, forgotten. but have the honor to be an acquaintance of hers"
 q remember" smiled Sophy. "Cap- tain Markart? We met at Mime. Zerko- vitch's."
 "Oh, that's pleasant of you" he cried. I hate being clean forgotten. But fear you remember me only because l sang so badly"
 T remember best that you said you wanted to go and help France. but your general wouldn't let you"
 "Ah, know why you remember that you especially! Forgive me. Our friend Marie Zerkovitch told me" He turned away for a moment to give an order to the waiter.
 "What's going on today?" asked So- phy. Where's everybody going?'
 'Whv. you are stranger. made moiseller he laughed. Its the kings name day, and we all go and congratu- late him."

ney to the sea. Then she rose with q sigh. The time drew near for French lesson. Marie Zerkovitch had already got her two pupils.
 This day Sophy began the diary. The first entry is dated that afternoon. Her prescience- presentiment--was not at fault. From today events moved fast, and she was strangely caught up In the revolutions of the wheel.
