In the centre of this 3 -foot space is a system of fabricated steel rods looking somewhat like a heavy wire fence.

Her pa trimony was valued at the time at th figure of a million pounds—au tte proximate estimate only of the actua cash her father had left at her dispo sal,. th the years of her minority tb sum had increased Wonderfully, and lte brought perhaps half as mewl again to her marriage teeth the scoun drel who was to ruin, her life, The greater part of this huge for- tune has been squandered since her marriage, and "should the expected re- verse overtake the House of Hohen- zollern, the Princess Cecilia will retire into ,private life a comparatively poor woman, The means by which Cecilia was in- duced to part with huge portion e of her fortune were various. In the ear- ly daps of the marriage the Prince traded upon her overflowing love for his unworthy person, using it as a means to relieve her of collo:mai sums. Innumerable are the stories that I could tell about the matter. In this year, it may be remembered, there was a, great formal interchange of courtesies between Germany and its ally, Austria, This took place in Berlin, and though the old leastrian Emperor we's too =firm to take part, he was represented at the German Court by his ambitious heir, the Arch- duke Francis Ferdinand, who was ac- companied by the brilliant and equally arabitious woman whom he had mar- ried morganatically, and 'who after-. wards shared his death, as she had shared every ambition and hope of his life. ZITA SPEAKS HER MIND. Y. 0 4 aubjeet, But wileu the Price* Zite haa gone she was very thoughtful, for inaaY or the words uttered had an echo in her own elteerielice. She eetermieed to take the Priecese ZIte at her word, and to repeat to her hu$band all that her friend had said. She meant to press bias, for his reasons for being so readily Made the tool of the War Party. "Certainly Ile is always talking about war," she oath, to me; "belt I cannot believe that even he would go willingly iota such a great crime as Princess Zlta outlined, if he were not under eolne I Must find out whm et it is; I ay even gave hint frotn mime great folly or sin," The opportunity she eouglit was uot long in corning.. The Prinee was more than temally 'bellicose at this time, and his loud, indleereet speeches, and foole tell, boastful writings were attracting the attentiort of all thoughtful Ger- mans, many of whom objected very strongly to the tone of hies remarke, end the provocation they gave to neighboring and ostenalbly friendly nations, A HEART-TO-IIFIART TALK, 1 Thecae speeches on "Willie's" pert - gave offence to the Kaiser, but nOt e nearly so much offence as did the pub- lication of a biography of the Crown Prinee, written by a well-known en- thor named Leman, and Published at the expense of the Crown _Prineeet warlike friends. • The book created a sensation on. its appearance, becauee it cunningly compared father and an, and that very mueh to the disadvantage of the Kaieer, .An the ICaiser knew that the material of the book had been wipe Plied to the writer by the- Crown Prince himself he blamed that young man for the whole book, and showed himself very angry indeed. ThePrince waa accustomed to stormy scenes with his father, but. the scene which followed the Kaiser's peru. sal of the book and the notices which appeared in the German press must have been more than usually terrible. "He says he means to send me away on another of those artocioes tours," William whined to Cecilie one eveze Ing. I *as sewing in the adjoining room, and heard all that passed, "He means to get me safely out of the way. I swear I Won't go. 1 had enough of it in India, where- there was some- thing to do and see. 1 will not go out to .. those abominable, unhealthy col- onies in Africa; a man might die .of fever." "But why do you enrage and crass- . him so?" asked.Cecilie, gently. "Surely it would be much better, and yeti would be ever so much happier, if you let him raake all the speeches and 'write all the books? You know how he loves that kind of thing." "One cannot always do just what one likes," muttered the Prince, gloom. 11Y. "It is a matter of state, you see Cecilie. You cannot expect to under- stand such things," "One thing I do understand," she replied, "and that is that you do a lot of things which melte great and ma necessary trouble for yourself. It eeems to me sometimes as though somebody was Influencing you to behave as you are doing, Tell me, have Von Heydebrand and Krupp von Bohlen any hold over you that they always seem to be pulling strings Which set you in action?'' "Whatever makes you think that?" he stammered, 4Listen," said the Prineess, very earnestly. "When the Archduke Kari was here you were very eude to him; and the Archduchess Zita was very hurt about it. She spoke to nee at' 'very great length, and explained the reasons which made her • think yoe were intentionally unkind to her and her husband." Cecilie then went on to repeat the whole of her conversation with the Princess Zita, to which the Prince listeneain angry arid disturbed silence, "What is ft?" she pleaded. "1 lit- plore you, by the love we once shared, and by the children whom We have brought into the world, to tell me why the heir to the throne must be the tool of men such' as these. You will tell me, will you not?" Stilt the Prince maintained a sullen stlence, "WE MOST PAY THEel." "Surely you will tell me," she Ott - served, with a touch of bitterness in her voice. "What is there that I have not overlooked or condoned?" "It is money," replied the Prince, with a Jangling Taub. "They hhve been buying up my debts ever since 1 wa.s a, boy and holding them over me. They have adeenced me money in great auras, when I was ready to please them, until 1 do not know how much I owe them. They hold the . perste- strings. I can't get on without money. You know that!" "We must pay thern • back," said Ceeilie, cheerfully, and withOut a word of reproach, although more than onee she had iliselisyged from her own resources what he positively affirmed was a oempiete list 'of the whole of his debts. He shook hie head, "firiDossible," he muttered. "You have no idea how it has mounted up; ,daren't even look at the figures." We shall look at Meth together," bite said, With unruffled eheerfillneas,"' "and then we shall see about dischtteg- lug them without toes of time., The Crown Prince of Germany must not owe large aunts to his future subjects; and such subjects:" she added, *with a shudder, "It is very good of you, Cilli," be Bald, with stomething faintly ap- proaehing gratitude in his volee, "but YOU Will get a shock when you see the total, 1 ant afraid." "1 get a shock," the returned, "ev- ery time 1 read one ot those fierce war -like speeches of yaws.

STAOCIEILING "There is notlaitig itt what that Ital- ian Written liald," he began; but he put her fingers upon ble.lipe, "Promiee," she insisted.

Always the soul of courtesy and consideration, Cecilie showed no little attention to the Archduchess Zita. Perhaps she was moved to an extra display of kindness because of the open slights which the Crown Prince seem- ed to love putting upon the young Archduke, her husband. The two Princesses got on very intimate terms, ho intimate, indeed, that during an informal couversaticn they held in Cecilia's boudoir Cecilia ventured gently to allude to the behaviour of the Crown Prince, speakingapologeti- cally and excusingly, of it. "I• quite understand," said the Prin- cess Zita calmly. "It is sweet of you to bother about it, but we are both used to being disregarded in this way. Karl quite realizes his position: and we are fully informed of the wicked plots the Archduke is forwarding to deprive him forever of his succession." "But what can he 'do?' asked Cecilia In genuine suienise. "He has sworn that his own children shall make no claim to the throne of Austria-Hun- gary, He is bound by the oath." "For years," said the other, bitter- ly. "he has been importuning the Pope to absolve him from his oath, and the senile old Emperor'has supported him. As the Pope Stands firm, he is now turned to this terrible war scheme, with the Keiser and the Crown Prince." "I am afraid I do not understand,". said Ceeille, a little coldly perhaps. "What have my husband and my fa- ther to do with it?" "Have you not guessed? One day, when all is ready, and it will be very soon now, they intendto make war upon Russia and France. Germany will crush. the life out of France while Austria holds the Russians back; then the two countries .will spring upon Russia and beat her to the ground." "My mother's country!" exclaimed Cecile, "What does it matter?" said the other impatiently. "They will take Poland, they will take Serbia, and any other countriee that stand in their way; Belgium and nolliatid perhaps, ale Well as the north of France, "Then but of Hungary Francis Zan dinand will make a great kitedom-for one et his eons, and out of Polahd 55. other.

Hardly any words in the English language have strayed farther from their original meaning than the terms of forestry Thus a forest was origin. ally a great tract ot country, which might include woods, cultivated lands, pastures and even towns and villages, all the hunting rights over -which -were reserved to the monarch. A. _chase dif- fered froin a forest mainly in the fact that the hunting rights were vested in a subject instead of a king. A park was a fenced preserve, either in or out ot 5. forest, while a warren was a piece of waste ground over vthich the right to hunt the hare, the rabbit and the fox, the pheasant, the partridge and the woodcock had been granted by the King. In the same way the term afforesta- tiou had nothing to do with the plant- ing of trees. It meant the subjection of any tract Of country to the forest laws—in other words, it was the set- ting aside of this tract as it forest.
