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

Very many years ago 1t was the
fashion of England and on the con-
tinent to have scat gardens of ever
green trees trimmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filed 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. II is
located on the famous Hunnewefl 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.

teal prince had a superstition that his
luck went with him in the person Of
the Chevalier Beaupre.
It was all as It 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? 1t 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.

don there was letter for him from
Virginia.

think that the first letter sent 10 you
by Harry's wife should be to tell you
that she has betrayed your trust in
her. I am distressed beyond words,

mean distress to you. You remember
the letter to Alike which you trusted

happen to you? l had ii in my hand

thought over every possibility of stop

chance. Are you very angry with me,
dear friend of Harrys and of mine?"
The letter went on with reproaehes
and regrets and finally slipped into a
tale OF a new happy life which Fran
co.'s had made possible for the two.
He read 1t over several times. His
letter 10 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

letter; that was all. He was glad that
she should know, though he would
never have told her in life. 1t was

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe thai
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find relief In
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.
Il used to be a great coffee drinker,
SO much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at time.
My friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble l would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cot.
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better. sleep better and am
better every way, now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as / am seventy years of age all
my friends think the improvement
quite remarkable"

MAKING OVER OLD FRIENDS
Much Time Wasted in Effort to Do
What Probably No One Ever
Really Succeeded In.

make over my dearest friends" writes

used to be fretted by the way she was
forever trying to clip my wings-I
suppose to keep me close to the quiet
and friendly and unadyenturous roost!
We come by such long road, some
times, to the acceptance of our near
est friends for exactly what they are.
Because we are so fond of them
we try to make them over to suit
some curious ideal of perfection of
our own--until, one day we suddenly
laugh aloud at our own absurdity
knowing that they are probably try
ing as hard to reconstruct us as we
are to reconstruct themi) and there
fore we try no more to change them,
we just love 'em and enjoy 'emi"

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

Various woods were tried. but trou-
Bile was found in selling these boxes.
because connoisseurs insisted that a
fine cigar was spoiled by putting it in
any but box made of Spanish cedar.
This wood always retains the flavor
OF good cigar. Indeed, some persons
assert that 1t improves the flavor The
reason given is that 1t grows In the

CHAPTER XXI.
The Niqht 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,
the nucleus and the hope of their at
tempt. In the rooms of Lieutenant
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
ing to be changed, and the little COM
pany of men who were trying so large
a fate, scattered. with grave faces,
with quiet good nights to the Prince
who might tomorrow be their EN-
peror, to the Prince for whose sake
they might tomorrow night be any or
all ruined men or dead men.
He sat erect and listened. TheIin
was brushing clothes with energy in
the bedroom, and through another door
there came light sound of a paper
turned, of a gay song sung softly. And
a glow suddenly warmed the Princes
heart; here was some one who had
known his mother. who had been, in
deed, fer a few days her son; here
was some one who cared for him. he
believed it, with a half-consuming
fame of devotion. Since the mans
arrival from Virginia six weeks before.
to have him near himself had been a
pleasure to Louis Bonaparte; he
seemed to bring back the freshness
of his early days, of the young conf
dence when his star shone for him.

Francois Alike protested. why,
Pietro, my father believes, and be-
lieve, that If affairs should so happen
that he has his opportunity he may
yet be one of the great characters in
history. My father says he is made
up of inspirations, iIluminations-and
limitations"
Yes" said Pietro thoughtfully. "He
has the faults of brilliancy and fear
lessness. He judges too rapidly. If
he were afraid ever-if he saw the
other side of a question ever, his judg-
ment would be safer. 1t may well hap
pen that he will be one of the great
men of Europe; 1t may also happen
that by some single act of mismanage-
ment he will throw away his career
or his life. God keep him safe!" Pie
tro said simply.
And Alike echoed it-"God keep him
safe." And then. Il am going to write
him. Pietro--about us. My father
knows where to reach him at Bou-
logne am going to say just a word
that what he has wished for all his
life is true. ii will get to him the
night before the battle"
Are you sure you are right, Alixe?"
Pietro asked doubtfilly.
Sure" said Alike buoyantly.
