and some OF the details amount to a rather surpris-

merely devilish conspiracy. There are weak points

"Hold on a minute!"
"Perhaps We may-here, just reach me that
magnifying glass, will you!"
The glass was a powerful one, and a minute in
spection of the photographs revealed something
which made him laugh-softly and contemporary.
"Hmph! Those fellows must have inquired that the
mere sight of all this stuff would be enough to get
me- There is not a man in that crowd who has
nerve enough to publish it and risk the conse-
quences! Look here, sweetheart-take the glass.

sistible fascination she must have been when in the
height OF her beauty and strength. In the hallway
OF the boarding house she said to the landlady and
the narrator: II am going into the parlor and take
those five young men away from those five young
ladies. See ii | DON'T
The old lady quietly entered the parlor, seated
herself at the piano, began %strumming tunes, using
a soft pedal. Suddenly she began with Beethoven,
then Won Weber, and she made the piano ring with
a wonderful recital. AT last she played a guitar
tune, the Spanish F%andango. When she concluded
and turned around, she found a rapt audience. Then
she began talking. She said:
That Spanish Fandango always reminds me OF
the first bull fight that l ever saw. Did you ever
see a bull fight? Well, when my husband was min
lister to Madrid made the acquaintance and won
the friendship OF Queen Christina. 1t was at her

Caesars Wife--A Tale of Practical Politics

HAll l can say is that I'm sorry, governor. I re-
greet this exceedingly-for your sake
Il appreciate your-er-sympathy-Mr. Norcross.
The duties of the governorship are a little trying,
at times-one is prevented by the dignity OF the
position from soiling his hands upon certain people.
Good day, sir"
After his visitor had left, the governor sat looking
out of the window in deep thought, for some time.
Then he handed the bill to his secretary-put on
his hat-and went home.
While he was eating dinner that evening, his
wife noticed that he appeared somewhat preoccu-
pied, but not more so than he frequently did when
his mind was filled with legislative matters-and
his occasional remarks to her were, if anything,
more affectionate than usual. After the meal he
went into the library to smoke his customary
cigar. AS this was a time he usually reserved for
the consideration of any important matters de-
handing his attention, the family seldom intruded
upon him until later in the evening. But as he sat
there alone before his desk, the mass Of papers
and documents lay unheeded upon the blotter. He
was going over in mind every detail of his court
ship and brief married life. His wedding had taken
place at a small church in the suburbs OF Philadel-
phia-the ceremony having been witnessed by sew

Here the old lady went into rhapsodies over the
manner in which the queen was gowned and be-
decked. The young men, and then the young women,
gathered around her; soon she was a center OF at
traction and everybody in the boarding house that
could crowd into that parlor, did so, while others
craned their necks within the door. When she had
concluded her brilliant description everybody asked
questions about Spain and so forth, but the old lady
arose and bowed herself gracefully out of the room,
saying:

Entertaining beyond description when in her
elghty-third year, she must have been phenomenally
brilliant when in her prime and when stimulated
with ambition for social supremacy.

Japan's Toy-Shops.

There Is no country in the world
where there are 80 many toy shops as
Japan. In all towns, and In most Of
the villages, there is children's
bazaar, and the neighborhood of the
principal temples Is crowded with
stalls containing things to amuse
children. At the great religious festi-
walls even the poorest are to be met
with their arms full of toys to take
home. and the number Of men and
women who earn livelihood by
ltinerant street shows, got up solely
10 amuse the children, can be counted
BY hundreds. These entertainments
include theatricals, where brave deeds
are performed by heroic warriors,
story-tellers, song-singers and con-
iurers- Wide World Magazine.
