The Night Before.

Out in the dark, in the harbor OF
Boulogne, the ship Edinburgh Castle
lay rocking in the wind. Prince Louis
Bonaparte, who had chartered her, and
the handful of his followers who had
sailed with him on her from England
had disembarked quietly at twilight,
and in small companies had succeeded
in entering the town and the quarters
of the officers who WERE In France,

Aladenize, the host of the Prince. a
short council had been held to go over
once more the plans which had been
discussed and settled by letter for
weeks already. The work was care
fully arranged; there was almost moth

ART OF TREE SCULPTURE
Old English Custom That Called for
the Cutting of Fantastic
Shapes.

Very many years ago 1t was tho
fashion of England and on the con-
tinent to have great gardens Of ever
green trees trinmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filled with crouch
ing lions, pigs and even hens and
chickens. all laboriously sculptured
from living green and kept in trim
by constant use of the knife and the
shears.
A few of these gardens were es-
tablished in this country and one still
remains in perfect condition. 1t is
located on the famous Hunnewell es-
tate at Wellesley. Mass, and is Wis
tied by people from all over the
world. The garden is on the side of
a terraced hill dropping away to a
beautiful little lake.
Evergreens of many kinds are to be
found there and each summer force
of workmen with long ladders care
fully prune and trim the branches in
order to preserve the strange shapes
which have been developed with the
utmost patience.-Popular Electricity.

The best English is said to be
spoken in Scotland-but not on the
Clyde!
A Londoner, just returned from
scotland, sends Daily Chronicle cor
respondent this example of Firth of
Clyde language: "Poo-pa-poo: aw,ma.

are supposed to be uttered by a wee

On the day when Francois in Lon

from France, a letter from Lucy
Hampton reached Alike at the chateau
of Vicques. She carried it to Pietro's
room where he sat in a deep chair at a
window which looked over Deles.

cois," she added serenely.
And Pietros response to that was
apt, but not to be given here. The
minds OF these two happy lovers were
full Of that third who had been SO
close always, to each OF them.
"Pietro," Alike spoke earnestly, com

"Yes," said Pietro thoughtfully. "He

other side of question ever, his judg

men of Europe; It may also happer

And Alike echoed it-"God keep hin

him, Pietro-about us. My father
knows where to reach him at Bou
logne ! am going to say just word
that what he has wished for all his
life is true. 1t will get to him the
night before the battle"
Are you sure you are right, Alixe?'
Pietro asked doubtfully.
Sure" said Alike buoyantly.
"Give him my love. then," said Pie

number used each year or where they
come from? Thirty million is the total
supplied to the manufacturers OF the
seductive weed each year. The best
boxes come from Cuba and are known
as Spanish cedar.
After the war with Spain the supply
Of this wood was greatly diminished
and its price raised, SO that for a
time cigar dealers were obliged to find
substitute for this kind of cedar.
Various woods were tried, but trou.
BILE was found in selling these boxes,
because connoisseurs insisted that
fine cigar was spoiled by putting 1t in
any but a box made Of Spanish cedar.
This wood always retains the flavor
of good cigar. Indeed, some persons
assert that it improves the flavor. The
reason given is that 1t grows in the
same localities.

tical prince had a superstition that his
luck went with him In the person OF
the Chevalier Beaupre.
It was all as 1t should be; he was
entirely happy. He had asked three
wishes OF the good fairies, as he had
said long ago; that the prince should
be emperor-that he might become "a
marshal Of France under another Bona
parte"-that Alike should love him.
The first two he believed about TO be
realized The last? II was not now
the time TO think of that. Alike had
kissed him good-by. That would more
than do till the fight was over. So he
sped back to London, missing Pietro.
but hopeful and buoyant. And In Lon
don there was letter for him from
Virginia.
Dear Francois" Lucy began. ITO
think that the first letter sent to you
by Harry's wife should be to tell you
that she has betrayed your trust In
her. / am distressed beyond words,
for ! have made a mistake which may
mean distress to you. You remember
the letter to Alike which you trusted
to me to send in case anything should
happen to you? / had It in my hand

gone upstairs to get other letters for
Europe which my father had command
ed me to send by the next packet. And

theirs agents in London, and | hur-
ried down and gave the parcel to Sam
bo, who was waiting to ride to Nor
folk with them. And then Harry and
| went away on visit to Martins
Brandon for three days, and II was
only when ! came back that | discov-
cred the dreadful mistake had made
Can you ever forgive me? Harry and
thought over every possibility OF stop
ping II, but there seemed to be no
chance. Are you very angry with me,
dear friend OF Harry's and OF miner?
The letter went on with reproaches
and regrets and finally slipped into a
tale of new happy life which Fran
co.'s had made possible for the two.
He read 1t over several times. His
letter to Alike. which should have been
sent only after his death. had gone to
her. What then? She would know
that he loved her; that he had loved
her always; that he would love her
forever; that the one wish Of his life
had been that she should love himself
not Pietro. He had said that in the
letter; that was all. He was glad that
she should know, though he would
never have told her in life. 1t was
done and he would find out now II
Pietro indeed cared for her, II she
cared for Pietro. And IL not, then one
had waited long enough; then at last
the JOY OF the thought choked him.
A knock came at the door OF the
room in the London lodging where he
sat with Lucy Hampton's letter before
him. Fritz Rickenbach stood there;
his highness would like to see the
cheyalier. All personal thoughts we're
locked swiftly into the drawer with
Lucy's letter and "the princes bright
shadow" went to the prince.
