CHAPTER X.Vr..
Evert at toot late season. of the
year --it wes December, though not
advanced beyoed a few days—the
garden at Caldera. was rieli in color
and prat= in greenery. And the
weather evas so fair end wa.rm, there
were euch balmy breaths from the
' eea and,soft airs from the bilis, such
sweet mornings Of SUUSlittio and sucei
Mellow afternoons, that the little
househOld of the Queen spent but
short indoors. Tho Queeu herself
loved the open peter the tedious
years of mephitic Bloomsbury (where
as Todman says, "there is more
'burythan 'bloom' "); she loved to
gaze at the rugged outline of the
hills, to watoli tho tidos of tinted
shadow that Rowed over them as the
sun swung up and then down; she
loved to drink in the mere senso of
freedom that lives in a wide pros-
pect, and to feel the cool, pure
breath of her own lend.
Nonr the foot of the garden was
on aehour of (Rorie de Dijon roses,
and there Maddalena passed most
of her waking hours, the fairest. rose
of her pleasaunce. At a tiny table
she transacted much State business
with Don Augustin; received mes-
sengers with lists of dead and
wounded, or of the siege of Palm
City; gave a ready ear to tbis or
that petitioner who believed that
the Queen could set all things right;
or signed documents signifying to
Don A. that her Majesty desired to
do such and such, to Senor B. that
her Majesty commanded him to do
as he had been bid on pain of her
displeasure.
. To every one that saw thus thron-
ed among the roses the same
thought came—that the Queen was
very beautiful; that she was young,
that she was indeed a Queen, but
&as 1 that she looked so sad. Not
that she did not snxilo on her people,
for sho was happy in seeing them;
but over the smile flitted a shadow
of sorrow indefinable that made the
smile strangely sweeter, and in her
voice was a subtle tone that found
in every heart a responsive chord,
and inacie the hearer wonder if it
was in such wise tho angels sang
when Paradise was lost. "Ali !-
said they, "she will be no longer sad
when the Hispanialcm is driven out
of Palmetto—She will sing aiie1 dance
With the best of us thee.,Only
Don Augustin knew that whatever
good hap came to the Isle of Palms
this silver thread of sorrow would
-
string alaeldalena's jewels for ever.
Tho change in her did not escape
the observant eye of the Orange
Kine as he came down the path es -
coined by Don Augustin, radiant
with delight. To Bravo tbe return
of Thomas Smith seemed an augury
that the happy end was near.
Maddalena rose with outstretched
hands.
"Mr. Smith 1 You have taken us
by surprise 1"
"Better I than Stampa, your Ma-
jesty," he laughed. "The fact is I
couldn't stay away any longer. I
want to see for myself if my orange
monopoly is to bold good."
"Ah 1 you put it in that way.. Well

"OfT bacon and eggs ?"
"What a. Briton 1" she lnughed.
"But if you have come from Espole-
to—have you?"
"Front Espoloto, madame." •
"Then you are ready for luncheon.
Como, eft down, sir. You will join
us, Don Augustin."
"You are cut off from the world
hero, madame, so I darosay I ant
the first to bring you a certain piece
of nows—g,00d noes. Tho Free State
have thrashed Hispaniola."
"That is indeed good news. 'When.?
How ?"
"When? Twelve days ago. And
how ? I3y blowing them out of the
water. But there is bettor news to
;lame." ,A merry twinkle lurked in
the corner of the Orange King's eye,
as he paused and helped himself to
olives, "What do you think, med-
itate, of the Free States', combined
navies crossing the (neap to 13orn-
bard. the principel ports of Hispan-
iola ?"
"Is it possible ?" cried Maddalena,
while Dou Augustin, startled afresh
out of his precision calm, stared at
Mr. Smith with a htuadred eyes and
a gaping mouth.
"Does it not make your prospects
brighter, Madalne ?"
"It will certainly lower Hispanio-
la's prestige."
"More than that, madame, more
than that." And again Mr; Smith
Paused with that twinkle.
"Tell .mef, tell mo," cried Maddale
"Well, as Inc as their knowledge
goes, the commanders of the Free
States fleet regard 'Palmetto as His-
paniolan territory. On their way

Don Augustin's face clouded. Ho
saw the fair island slip from Mad-
do.lena's hands into those of task-
masters as harsh as Hispaniola.
Some such thought flashed into the
Queen's mind, too, but her oyes
Were on the Orange King's face, and.
she saw nothing there but uncon-
cern and anutsernent. •
"Palm City," wont on Mi. Smith,

attack by twelve battleships eand
gunboats and torpedo destroyers."
But if wo could take it first,"
cried Bravo.
"It would be at the great °sponse

"There is a mita cheaper wiiy than
that."
"And that Is
"I am hero this rimming to lay
my plan before your Majesty. May
I explain it in my own way ?"
"Surely, sir, surely."
"The moment try agent at Rio
cabled to me that the fleet had set
out, I started for Palmetto. I cal-
culate that the ships will bo off
Para City on the morning of the
day after to -morrow, or porbaps in
the evening. Poehaps they- will
come in at night with lights out,
and make my friend Stampa rub his
oyes When bo wakes in the morning.
Anyway, and whatever the inten-
tions of the Free States admiral, I
want you to allow: rae- to intercept
him before ho sights Palmetto."
"Yes, yes," cried Maddalena, all
impatience.
"e want you, madame, to entrust
me with a letter for hirne in which
you explain your position, Ash for
big co-operation, and promise pay-
ment for his assistance—rather tho
assistance of his governments. Goo.d
Ele will accept or he will reject. If
he rejects, he will win—temporarily:
for Europe will not allow the Free
States of South America to depart
from- their adherence to the Monroe
doctrine, and if the worst comes to
tho worst Palmetto is still laispan-
Iola's, and the struggle goes on from
where it now stands. If he accepts,
you will have to pay a million, per-
haps two. And you can leave that
to me."
liteddalena rose to her feet, carried
out of hereelf by the suggested
speedy end of the fight, her face
flusbed and her hands pressed to-
gether.
"0 1 if it might only be l if it

"It may well be, madame, if you

She turned swiftly and looked at

said Smith shortly.

"There will be ships when they no

more shortly.

"A plan ? A very little one.

In a little while Maddalena re-
turned to her arbor, and sat down
with pen and paper to Write her let-
ter to the Admiral of the Free
States fleet. For an hour f -r 'more
,ho labored, tearing up draft after
draft, and stoppine, every now and
then to loan her chin on bor hand
and gather hr thoughts afresh: She
had promised Mr. Smith that she
would try, and, silo was trying: but
somehow the words would not come

COle'S IN SPRINGTIME.
A good many times farmers kceP
their cows. in the barn until the
grass in the pasture is rank, and
then turn them rigbt out to get
their living, dropping- at tlint time
all hay and ground feed. This it
a bad practice. The COWS, shut Up
se long .away froni green feed, gorge
themselves with the freSli grass, .
Which tastes wonderfully good to
them, with. the result that their
i bowels are suddenly relaxed and a
consequent weakening of the entire
system folios* The cows suffer ,a
marked loss of strength and vitality.
s The best -way to get the cows ac-
,
customed to the change of- diet in
springtime is to let the.m. Out a lite
tle while :each day for a week: say.
allowing them to get enough grass
to partly satisfy their appetites.
and them get thorn back to the yard.
Every day during the 'time this pro-
cess oing 'On lots of nice bright
bay should bo given, together with
it good ration of grotind feed pees
ferably wheat bran and cornmeal.
In this way the strength of the cow
will be kept up, and her condition
gradually enact° ready for the time
when she will be sent to graze all
day in the pasture.
Almost every farmer has noticed
that for a few days after the: cows
are turned to pasture, especially 11
treated according to the plan men-
eioned above of turning tbe cows
suddenly out to grass, the cows will
drop off in the amount of milk they
give. This is undoubtedly due to
the sharp turn in tbe method of
feeding, and the tendency with most
cows to roam all over the fields for
a while when first released frean
their long iraprlsonment. • •
