And in spite of the ironical smiles OF
the guests on the hotel plaza, who were
amused at the sight Of his anger, Matre
Ber0igeaux, the host of The Crowned
Ok" drove the unfortunate Suitor away
with his napkin.
Had it been any other man than the
charming Annette'S father who had
treated him like this, Rene Bell1ard
would at least have broken two or three
OF his ribs, but he thought OF the future
and Stammered: But we love eacn ON

he said, Il am going now, but will not
say goodbye yet. You will hear from
me, and don't you forget ii"
He walked off slowly, followed with
sympathetic chances by two English
misses, who rather liked the athletic
looking young fellow with the curly
hair.
Maitre Berdigeaux, who felt that his
guests were siding with the enemy,
went back to his kitchen. and a few
moments later there came the sound
of blows and the sobbing of a woman.
telling the guests of a prolonged discus
sion of the marriage question.
Although having thus asserted his pa
ternal authority, the host of The
Crowned OK felt rather uneasy at heart,
and regretted having been SO rough
on Belliard- Not that he thought for a
moment of accepting him as soninlaw.
but he remembered how difficult 1t
would be now, at the very height of the
season, to get a man as faithful and
reliable as his former waiter. Belliard
was as good as a whole staff of wait
ers, and what was now to become of
the celebrated echo that had made his
inn famous.
The Crowned Ok owed its whole
popularity, which extended far beyond
the boundaries Of Brittany, to the proX-
unity of a famous rock. This rock,
known as the talking stone" not only
commanded a magnificent view of the
sea, but 1T also had a voice, which would
have made Caruso turn green with
envy. The strangest thing was that no.

The Overturn of France.
Four years later Prussia defeated
France and destroyed the power of
Napoleon III, and in 1871 William I as
sumed the imperial crown and became
the first kaiser Of the modern German
empire The present kaiser was then
~ years old His father, Frederick
Ill., succeeded the first emperor in 1885,
but died after less than three months
reign. and William II, whom God pre-
serve, came TO the royal throne OF Prus-
STA, the imperial leadership Of Germany
and the headship Of the family OF Hoh-
enzollern.
This is the story Of Prussia. 1t is a
story OF growth by conquest, and ii is
significant IN view OF the fact that

BIRDS NECKS.

It's the Number of Bones In Them
That Makes Thorn Flexible.
The famngoes were making their
afternoon toilets in the big dying cage
at the Bronx zoo the other afternoon,
says n writer in a New York paper.
A crowd Of children and grown people
were looking on and eXclaiming with
admiring wonder at the way these
birds were twisting their long uecks
about into all sorts of corkscrews and
curves when one of the archaeological
experts came along and stopped to
watch the performance.
Its the larger number of bones in Il
birds neck, not the length, that make
1t so flexible" he remarked. There
are twenty-three bones in the neck Of
a swan. for example. and few more
In that of the tlamingo. II seems that
the smaller the animal organism the
larger the number of neck bones. The
giraffe. for instance, has only seven
bones in his long neck which has 4
reach of nearly twenty feet from the
ground. That little white throated
sparrow over there is only three inch
es high, but he has fourteen bones in
his neck and can almost scratch the
back Of his head with his bill. The
swan has twenty-three neck bones
and swings his head about with even
greater freedom than a snake"
