corridor like some one moving furni-
ture, but she was not nervous She
thought 1t might be men examining the
house after the fire the night before,
but she looked in the trunkroom and
saw nobody.
She went into her room quietly. The
noise had ceased and everything was
quiet. Then she sat down on the side
of her bed, and, feeling faint-she was
subject to spells-("I told you that

Eliza looked a little bit sheepish.
"The holes there all right, Miss In

to pack my trunk"

Unless the person who drilled the

stick, Eliza couldn't possibly have

But the fact remained, and a visit
to Eliza's room proved it. l might
jeer all l wished; some one had
drilled hole in the unfinished wall
of the ballroom, passing between the
bricks of the partition, and shooting
through the unresisting plaster of

the thing puzzled me; in two or three
places in the wall small apertures had
been made, none of them Of any depth.
Not the least mysterious thing was
the disappearance of the iron imple-

WANTS NO MODERNIZED BIBLE

Says Writer In Success
Magazine.

We are Just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, "couched
In everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words
and style, which are the best English
literature has produced, than anything
else. Instead Of a movement to get
us further away from that vigorous,
simple, classic style, and in the inter
est Of establishing the finest literary
ideals possible to people destined to
use the curious hybrid which the Eng
lish language has become, 1t would be
more sensible to frown upon all efforts
to improve on the King James Bible.

RULER A PATRIARCH
One of the Worlds Most Inter.

Nicholas Of Montenegro Affectlonateiy
Known az "the Father Of His
People" Literally Worshiped

Visnna.-One of the most interest
ing monarchs In Europe, perhaps any.
where, is Prince, now King, Nicholas
of Montenegro. who has recently cele
brated the fiftieth anniversary Of his
reign. During this half century he
has been to the people father and
friend, and 1t is asserted that he knows
every one of his subjects by name
which probably is an exaggeration. He
spends his summers in Cetinje and his
winters In Antivari down on the
Adriatic coast, but has residences In
the principal towns of the kingdom
and occupies each for few weeks
every year in order to keep in touch
with local affairs. He is very demo
cratic in his manners, and although he
dresses in the national costume OF his
country, which looks fantastic for a
man of. his age, his tastes are simple,
and his habits and manners are those
of a country gentleman.
Nicholas was born at the little vii
lage of Njegos, nest in the noun.
tains, in 1841. His uncle, Danilo, the
late Vladika of Montenegro, designated
him for his successor. He was edu-
Gated In Vienna, Trieste and Paris,
and was not quite twenty years old
when he was elevated to the throne.
In 1860. few months after he was
crowned, Nicholas married a Monte
negrin girl, Milena Vukotich, daughter
of Peter Vukotich, president of the
council of state, who was also farm
er and one of the largest land owners
in the country, and she has been a
congenial companion and valuable
help meet.
The Princess Meilena is as popular
as her husband, and presides over the
palace with simple but graceful dig
nifty. She wears the native costume
when she is in Montenegro, but has a

countries. She insists upon her daugh-
ters-in-law wearing the same dress as
her subjects when they are at home,
and encourages the people to continue
the ancient customs and practise the
old-fashioned arts and accomplish
ments of past generations.

little pony chaise, drawn by a diminu.

drive had brought no color to her face.

Halsey is not here. He has gone to

She relaxed a little at our matter
