"But if he knows nothing whatever
of that scrap of paper-if he never
heard of it"
"All the more he will be willing to
part with it if we ourselves can find
it. AS to that, we do not know. This
is but drag-net sort of move on our
part, but it may take some fish-who
knows?"
Good! Then what is our next
move, as you perceive it?"
"Why, let us make cautious move
to feel out their point-as fencer
tests his adversary's wrist, to feel his
strength at the hilt. Let us send a
note of friendship to Michael and ask
him if it be not better that these two
little kingdoms, separated by so mar
row a stretch Of land, should not
henceforth meet in harmony, and
no longer join in armed encounters.
Let us point out to him that there are
other nations greater than either OF
us-or both of us-which perhaps
some time may look our way. Let us
show him the virtue Of an alliance be-
tween these two kingdoms. Let us
play upon his fears, his vanity, his
weakness, until we have convinced
him that friendship with us is a thing
desirable for him. Let us ask good
Michael if he is not graciously dis
posed to be our friend today-to be
our magnanimous and powerful
friend!"
Sachio grinned broadly at his own
irony, and his monarch gave vent to
loud laugh, his gray beard curling
at the thought of his courtier's cum
ming as well as his loyalty to his own
king.
Excellent! Sachio, excellent" he
exclaimed. "Nor do I doubt the sue
cess of this thing as you plan 1t, II
you yourself shall carry it forward.
Do you then write that humble mis-
sive that you suggest-do you your
self ask Michael to be graciously gen.
erous to weak and pleading friend!
Ha! ha! Sachio, what next lies on
the board for us?"
why, then, your majesty, we are
alongside the fence that lies between
| u.s. We do not know how far 1t may
be until we come to gate or gap,
but sometimes there will be gate or
gap, through which we may pass.
In some way I doubt not, I and others
may perhaps gain access to the palace
of Gretzhoffen. That gives us our
footing. AS for them, they sleep and
revel AS for us, we act. 1t is the
man of action who succeeds. Let
them dream-we will act
your counsels jump with my own,
my dear Sachio," said Cortislaw. Il
have small use for the man who
dreams or the man who waits. 1t
shall be as you say. A test Of this at
least cannot harm us, and may prove
of extreme value. Go forward with it
then, as you have said.''

they were not now as they had been
then. Both bore marks of conflict
and of conflict which had not gone al
together to their favor.
How, now, you dogs?" cried the
captain. Whats wrong with you!
Have you been fighting among your
selves?"
One, quicker witted than the other
gave his assent to this at once. The
second was not so fortunate.
Twas the animals" said he, with
cunning not quite equal to the issue.
What? You disagree, them" said
the captain. what does this mean
fellows? Animals? What animals
Lions ?-tigers?-I did not know we
carried such!"
The sailor hung his head, and the
captains suspicious grew.
You are covering up something
here. Speak, you ruffians, and speak
the truth"
Captain" began the man once
more, I'VE are innocent. But we found
two stowaways below, and thinking to
bring them up, they fell upon us and
beat us-a man and woman"
How did they get aboard-where
are they then-who are they?"
"They must have come in with the
freight by the lift from the dock, cap,
tain. The young woman-she is beau.
tiful-and as you say, she is like
tiger. AS to the man. yes, he was like
a lion. They fought US, you see."
Where are they now. spitzbuben,
ruffians?"
The speaker paled suddenly. They
are there in the hold" he said.
Lead US to them then"
They turned to find their way to the
lower portions of the ship. but even as
they did so they met an interruption.
An agitated man, grimy and dirty, In
oil-stained clothing. came running to
wards the captains room-none less
than the chief engineer OF the vessel,
who obviously had been engaged In
commoner duties than naturally be
longed to him.

found that which he sought.
She tried feebly to raise herself as
she heard footsteps, heard voice she

They all crowded now to the lad
ders up from the hold, and, rapidly as
they might, found their way back to
the upper deck. There came confu-
sion, noise, trampling, shouts, sounds
not ordinary at this stage of the voy-
age of vessel putting out to sea. The
passengers themselves suspected
something to be wrong. They crowd
ed now about the captain excitedly, ex-
postulating. The master Of the ship
pushed them aside.

of the oil-stained engineer who hurried

In an instant they were face to face
with the ultimate peril of the seas
fire, explosion on shipboard.
There came from below that sound
which had been expected, dreaded-a
muff1ed, heavy roar, comparable to
nothing in the world In terrifying quail
ity at such a time as this. The ship
so lately safe and strong beneath them
all, now trembled. Midway her decks
rose, spread apart, fell. A cloud OF
binding white steam rolled from the
engine rooms, sitting and scalding all
within it's way. Cries of anguish came
from below decks, cries Of despair. To
these were added now the far more

numerous cries of those IN mortal ter

Obedient to their orders for a time,
the crew held to their posts. The boats
were lowered one after another. Yet
into each there piled senseless mass
of packed humanity. overcrowding and
rendering it useless as it reached the
surface of the sea.
Children and women and strong men
fought now for place in the last of
the boats. Discipline broke and failed.
What had been a happy party of trav-
elers was now a disorganized mob.
His arms supporting Kitty on one
side. those of Roleau on the other,
Count Frederick did his best to reach
the rail. Useless, hopeless! They were
forced back time and again.

Jump! We will swim for it. We

The look on the face of the girl at

but more of trust. Unhesitatingly the

The sea closed over them. They rose
after an agonized instant which
seemed death itself-rose but to see
the giant ship which had carried them
raise her bows aloft, shiver and
tremble, and slowly slide back and
down beneath the waves. In the whirl-
pool which marked the spot they were
but little human units. floating as best
they might among scores and hun
dreds of others.
"This way!" cried Frederick, and he
and Roleau aided Kitty to a floating
piece of wreckage. But others saw it
also. Time and again they were
fought back from 1t as others strong
er or more remorseless claimed it as
their own.
In all this commotion of shouting
and struggling men, of wailing wom-
en-, of failing arms and beating fists,
Frederick and Roleau lost sight of
Kitty at last-she had gone, they knew
not where, in that chaos of the sea.
Where is she?" demanded Fred
erick weakly, himself well-nigh spent.
(Which way?"
II know not" gasped Roleau, him
self in as bad case as the other. Il
cannot tell, but fear that she is gone"
They swan about for a time in
search, but could not make out the
whereabout of her whom they sought;
then they hoisted themselves one on
each side of a floating spar and rested.
ALLOW me, excellency," said Roleau,
and flung across the end of his belt.
LET us lash fast. cannot hold much
longer"
Spent and hopeless, they rested as
they might and allowed fate to have
it's way with them.
"Our boat-the yacht, excellency,"
exclaimed Roleau at length. where
is she-the vessel which brought you
out?"
Frederick could only shake his head.
Gone" said he. 81 doubt not she was
scuttled by the heavy ironwork blown
out by the explosion. There is no
hope"

PecullarIty Of French Flag.

II il not generally known that the
three strips of color that make up the
French national flag are not equal in
width. When the trieolor was first
authorized. 1892, the positions and
proportions of the three colors were
not stated, and such variety of flags
was seen that two years later the ma
tionaI assembly declared that the ma
tional standard should be formed of
the three national colors in equal
bands placed vertically. the hoist be-
ing blue. the middle white, and the
fly red O.
For years the flag was made in this
way, but though the bands were equal,
they never looked equal owing to an
optical illusion, the blue appearing
wider than the white. and the white
wider than the red.
At last, after many experiments, it
was officially decided that in every
hundred parts the blue should be
thirty. white thirty-three and red thir-
ty-seven.

Farm Deposits Instead of Loans.

One trouble with us in the South is
that we think too much about bank
as being a place to get money in
instead of as a place to put money in;
and it would be better, as Doctor But
Ter recently suggested, if we said that
1t is "a rural banking system" that
we need rather than rural credit
systen-for it must embody the de-
post and saving feature as well as the
credit and borrowing feature.-From
