Horse.Lovlnn Xenophon.

We may breed different types of
horses, and we may harness and use
them differently; but the points of
excellence that combine to form the
most perfect horse are no different in
one age than another. Xenophon, 1t
is true, attached some Importance to
points that we care much less about
now-as, for instance, a smooth,
round back that is easy to sit upon,
which was owing to the fact that the
Greeks did not use saddles, but only
q cloth, fastened to the horses body
by surcingle: but these are minor
matters. He knew the points of a
good horse, and he knew horse ma
ture. And he had, too, that delight
in horses that is found only in the
true horseman, the man who loves as
well as knows them. ut is upon
horses" says he, "that gods and
heroes are painted riding; and men
who are able to manage them skill
fully are regarded as deserving Of ad-
miratlon. SO extremely beautiful and
admirable and noble a sight Is a
horse that bears himself superbly
that he fills the gaze Of all who see
him, both young and old; no one, in
deed, leaves him or is tired of con
templating him as long as he contin-
ues to display his magnificent attl-
tudes."-From the Atlantic.

shlpbulldlnq in China.

According to a Shanghai telegram,
the Chinese government accepted the
bid of the Kiangnan arsenal for the
construction of four warships at about
100000 taels. The arsenal, under
control Of Liang.Kiang, viceroy, en-
cages principally in the manufacture
of arms. Although 1t has equipment
for shipbullding, It has not turned
out any warships in the history of It's
existence for the last twenty-odd
years, its experience so far having
only consisted in putting togethe.

that China has ever attempted to

He passed his arm around her and
pulled her down on his knees.
SAY, little woman, you sure miss a
lot by living here on the ranch
music, and theaters, and such things.
Don't you ever have a hankering to
drop it all and go back?"
So great was his anxiety that he
dared not look at her, and when she
laughed and shook her head he was
aware of great relief Also, he noted
the undiminshed youth that rang
through that same old-time boyish
laugh Of hers. 80
"Say," he said, with sudden fierce
ness, don't you go fooling around that
slide until after get the trees in and
rooted. It's mighty dangerous, and l
sure can't afford to lose you now"
He drew her lips to his and kissed
her hungrily and passionately.
"What lover!" she said; and pride
in him and in her own womanhood
was in her voice.
Look at that, Dede." He removed
one encircling arm and swept 1t in a
wide gesture over the valley and the
mountains beyond "The Valley Of the

"And that was the night you didn't
milk the cows till ten o'clock" she
laughed. "And if you keep me here
much longer, supper won't be any
earlier than 1t was-that night"
Both rose from the bench, and Day
light caught up the milk-pail from the
nail by the door. He paused mo-
ment longer to look out over the val
ley.
"It's sure grand" he said
TITS sure grand" she echoed, laugh
ing joyously at him and with him and
herself and all the world, as she
passed in through the door.
And Daylight, like the old man he
once had met, himself went down the
hill through the fires Of sunset with q
milkpail on his arm.

LAST or 4 RACE OF KINGS
Michael, Prince Of Cyprus, Jerusalem
and Syria, Died Recently In
Charity Hospital.

In the charity ward of a hospital
In st. Petersburg there died Of can
Ger a few days ago the last of a
dynasty of famous kings. This pauper
was Michael, prince Of Cyprus, Jeru-
salem and Syria, aged fifty-four. With
him persisted the family Of Lusignan,
which had been reigning monarchs
for many centuries.
Prince Michael was the only son
of Louis de Lusignan, who was driven
from the throne Of Cyprus by the
Turks in 1921. He had intrusted his
vast treasures to the Patriarch of
Constantinople, but the Turks confis-
Gated these and appropriated them
to their own use. In the war for the
liberation OF Greece the prince tried
to regain his throne, but In 1927 he
had to flee to Russia, where Gar
Nicholas gave him a commission as
captain in the army.
Prince Louis fought in the Crimean
war, but the result Of this was disas-
trous to his hopes. When Greece re-
gained its independence the throne of
the newly created nation was twice
offered to Prince Louis, who refused
1t. sas
Napoleon III. took up Prince Louis
cause and Count Debussy made a for
nal contract to supply him with the
necessary means. He expected to
wiring from the Turkish government
about 250,OO0,0O0. But the Franco
Prussian war resulted in Napoleon
III. being driven from the throne Of
France and once more the hopes Of
Prince Louis to regain the throne Of
Cyprus, Jerusalem and Syria were
dashed to the ground.
In 1884 Prince Louis died, leaving
his only son nothing but aspirations
and a royal name. Prince Michael
was then "a years old. He lived al
most as a recluse, but never gave up
his hopes. Those who knew him con-
sidered him a crank because Of the
strange costume he always wore This
consisted of a Russian army overcoat
with gold buttons on which were the
three crowns Of his kingdom.

abruptly that what he wanted was
drink-whlsky, cocktails, anything,
drink. And even then, with this new
hot yearning for the alcohol upon
him, he heard, faint and far, drifting
down the green abyss of the canyon,
Dede's voice, crylng:-
Here, chick, chick, chick, chick,
chick Here, chick, chick, chick"
He was astounded at the lapse of
time. She had left her sewing on the
porch and was feeding the chickens
preparatory to getting supper. The
afternoon was gone. He could not
conceive that he had been away that
long.
Again came the call: "Here; chick,
chick, chick, chick, chick! Here, chick,
chick, chick"
1t was the way she always called
first five, and then three. He had long
since noticed It, And from these
thoughts of her arose other thoughts
that caused great fear slowly
to grow in his face. For it
seemed to him that he had almost lost
her. Not once had he thought of her
in those frenzied hours, and for that
much, at least, had she truly been lost
to him. He dropped the piece Of
quartz, slid down the slide, and start
ed up the trail, running heavily. At
the edge of the clearing he eased
down and almost crept to point of
vantage whence he could peer out,
himself unseen. She was feeding the
chickens, tossing to them handfuls Of
grain and laughing at their antics.
The sight of her seemed to relieve
the panic fear into which he had been
flung, and he turned and ran back
down the trail Again he climbed the
slide, but this time he climbed higher,
carrying the pick and shovel with
him. And again he toiled frenziedly,
but this time with a different purpose.
He worked artfully, loosing slide after
slide of the red soil and sending it
streaming down and covering up all
he had uncovered, hiding from the
light Of day the treasure he had dis
covered. He even went into the woods
and tccoped armfuls Of last years
fallen leaves, which he scattered over
the slide. But this he gave up as a
vain task, and he sent more slides OF
soil down upon the scene of his labor,
until no sign remained of the OUTPUT
ting walls of the vein. Next he re
paired the broken pipe, gathered his
tools, together, and started UP the
trail. He walked slowly, feeling q
great WEAKNESS, as Of a man who had
passed through a frightful crisis. He

in great gulps, like a diver fresh-riser

he were drinking in that, too, along
