ONE PRIVILEGE OF DYsPEP7Ic
At Least He Has Keen Enjoyment IN
the Satisfaction of Quench-
ing Thirst.

1t is one of the few privileges Of the
dyspeptic that he thoroughly under
stands what thirst is, and consequent
ly thoroughly enjoys the quenching Of
it. Not for him the moderation Of the
exasperatingly well-balanced man who
in the hottest weather, only moistenS
his lips with a little water, or at the
most washes out his mouth, but does
not swallow the cooling liquid.
Nc, the dyspeptic requires his drinks
to be very long, and either very cold
or very hot, and when in hot weather
the dyspeptic hears the tinkle of ice
and glass, and sees the dizziness Of
frost on the outside of a tumbler, be
knows that one of the pleasanteSt
physical sensations procurable for him
in this world is at hand.
His Imagination is stirred not only
by the thought of liquid matter pass
ing down his throat, but by the artf
fetal differences of temperature which
he is about to produce, by the idea OF
cold glacial stream being poured lna
the arid desert of his system.

| don't know how l am going to get
home, in fact.
King Victor reflected. Having re-
fused one favor, he was naturally in
the mood to bestow another in com
pensation. His ambassador at Vienna
had telegraphed him that day that
Niklas' account was overdrawn. II
Niklas went to war with Austria his
Vienna funds would at once be con-
fiscated; to place sum Of money to
his credit there would insure the
crafty old mans keeping the peace.
Prince Niklas saw his irresolution.
and produced a piece of paper from
his waistcoat pocket.
eff you will send that to the am
bassador at Vienna" he said, 'you
will earn my eternal gratitude, and |
assure you you shall hear no more
pleas for neutrality on the part OF
Italy"
King Victor read the paper as fol-
lows:
"Place in the Chernagara vaults liras

demand be promptly entered to H. H.
account and be credited all allow
ance"
'Di San Giovanni" said the king,
tossing the paper toward the marquis,
what do you think of this?"
The Marquis shrugged his shoulders.
eff your majesty wishes it to be paid,
it will not seriously affect your rev.
enues," he answered.
"Then wire it to our ambassador at
Vienna" said the king, and, ignoring
the old princes protestations of grati-
tude, he stalked out of the room.
AS soon as he had gone old Niklas
who, besides being poet, prides him
self upon his penmanship, sat down to
embellish the document with much
f1ourishing of capitals /. and chiro-
graphic idiosyncrasies. Now, whether
the marchese suspected something.

aey, or whether he was merely taken
in,eDella Campagna did not inform me.
But the form in which the document
went ultimately to the telegraph Office
was as follows:

last. with frank brutality, that a ruler
who does not scruple to accept sub
sidy from Italy, and whose every visit
to my court of recent years has had
for its one object the borrowing Of
fresh funds, should not press me on
matters of policy. In fact" he said
concluding, "it is impertinent, and
resent it in the strongest possible
manner"
The rough old man controlled his in
dignation. Prince Niklas has the saw
ing grace OF humor, which lends a
finishing touch to rough character.

in the Calabrian peasant dialect of
Italy, which he had mastered during a
long sojourn in the south at an early
and unchronicled period of his life, ut

demonstrate with a young man who is
about to lose his situation and become
unable to support his daughter in her

Victor" he added. "that Italia Irreden-
ia is not forgotten among your peo-
pie"
/ imagine that all my readers are
acquainted with the meaning of this
expression, but for the benefit of any

Irredenta -unredeemed Italy-is the
name given to that portion of the Aus
trian Nominations on the north and
east shores Of the Adriatic which is
inhabitated by Italians and has not
yet been regained by the Italian peo-
pie. 1t is, Of course, the existence
under Austrian rule of this strip of
territory that is the cause Of all Italy's
heartburnings against the dual mon
archy.
"Now, Victor" continued the old
man grimly, "if you go too far in sup
port of Austria and Germany you
are going to lose your throne. You
haven't any job. And how do you ex-
pect to support my daughter as con-
noisseur of coins?"

claimed. "You will leave Italy at once

ing to the Marchese di San Giovanni,
who had been trying vainly to catch
Niklas' eye.
But, as he was stalking Indignantly
out Of the room, with one of those dra-
matte changes of mood that charac-
terize the southern Slav, Prince Niklas
threw himself upon his knees before
him, barring his way to the door.

in penitence, catching at the kings
hand and raising it to his lips. DO

me for my indiscreet bluntness OF

majesty stif1y, trying to get past the
importunate old man.
"But you will forgive me?" pleaded
Niklas, rising to his feet.

swered Victor, now half relenting.
There was another matter wanted
to speak to you about" said Prince
Niklas. 'eYou know that the mobiliza-

"But, my dear son-in-law, we have

Why was the dispatch sent in Eng
lish? Because English has begun to
supplant French as the language OF
diplomacy. But to an Italian ambas-
sador? There can enlighten no one.
Prince Niklas was proud of his Eng
lish, and, as soon as the Marchese
had signed and had affixed the royal
seal, he took the precious paper in his
hands and ran like a boy to. the tele-
graph Office.
And that was the innocent dispatch
which sent Europe wild with wrath
and joy few hours later, when the
news ran that the Italian ambassador
at Vienna had called upon the Emper-
or Franz Joseph and informed him
that Italy would maintain neutrality in
the impending struggle.
This done, the outburst of threats
against Italy prevented Victor from
disavowing his ambassadors state
ment. AS for old Niklas, he had hur-
ried back to Montenegro by the first
boat, and was already massing his
fighting men upon the slopes of Cher
niagara, to lead them in aid of Serbia
against the hereditary foeman, across
the border.
Who betrayed the royal cipher?
There Della Campagna, graceless
scamp though he proved himself in
betraying Niklas' confidence, would
not bulge an inch. In vain pleaded
my past assistance to him in certain

pagna was adamant. But he did ex-

changed On the following day.
