We're all little added" Francis
confessed. Come and join our tour of
exploration. You know Lady Cynthia.
Let me present you to Mrs Hilditch."
The introduction was effected and
they all strolled on together. Marga-
ret and Lady Cynthia led the way into
the Wlnter-garden, palace of glass,
tall palms, banks of exotics, Towering
shrubs of every description, and a
fountain, with wonderfully carved wa
ter nymphs, brought with its basin
from Italy. Hidden in the foliage, a
small orchestra was playing very soft
ly. The atmosphere of the place was
languorous and delicious.
Leave US here Margaret insisted,
with little exclamation of content.
Neither Cynthia nor 1 want to go any
further. Come back and fetch US in

After a time the men rejoined Mar

with a faint smile, you find my en-

question yet which you would like to
ask?"
"Only one-what Go you do with
your launch up the river on moonless
nights, Sir Timofhy?"
Sir Timothy's momentary silence
was full of ominous significance.

pause, 81 have given you almost carte

continued, "the third couple who pass

very little that she does wear. Watch

Francis did as he was hidden. The

comedies, and she seemed to be thor

Francis attention had wandered.

The phrase ship of superlatives" was
attached to the Leviathan for these,
among other reasons:
She is the largest steamship afioat
the safest steamship affoat; the swift

luxurious steamship afioat.
The claims as to size and speed
were contested by the British Majes-

Brussels recently officially accorded
her the speed record. Her average
speed for last season was 23.57 knots

It was on Jan uary S1, 1889, that the Crown Prince Rudolph, father of Elizabeth Marie, was found dead in the castle at Meyerling By his side was the beautiful Baroness Marie Vetsera, dead too. Whether 1t was a double suicide or murder has never been cleared up to the satisfaction of the public, But from the day of the tragedy, Franz Joseph would not permit the men tion of the name of his idolized son.
 All his affections were transferred to Rudolph's daughter, Elizabeth Marie She was the direct descendant to the throne. Only the Salc law could prevent her from ruling and the Salic law had been ab- rogated.
