"Come and make friends with my daughter Lola,"said madame, and Dolores remembered how they wont out through the open French win.doiv to where the dark-beired slender girl stood.

Madame left them to entertain each other, little dreaming that she had brought together the Lwo, who, of all the world, ought never to have known each other. Then followed other peaceful years, during which there was a oonstant exchange' of visits between the occu- pants of Beaulieu and White Cliffe. Child as she was, Dolores, witlr her delicate, refined•' instinct, did not quite, like Lola. The young French lady was very vain; and there was noth- ing that she delighted in so much: as aompaa•ing herself with Dolores. "You English glals are all so fair," she would say, with a contemptuous shrug of the shoulders. "You, your- self, little` Dolores, are like a snowdrop -so white. I like plenty of oolor,suoh es .I have myself." Then she would draw the golden hair through her brown fingers and laugh at the color and fineness. "They call this golden in Eng - Land?" she would say, "I call it the color of straw." It was. the same with everything; the would surpass Dolores where she lculd—in musts, in dancing, in sing - Ing, and riding—and those pursuits in which she could not excel the aban- Ioned at once. :Dolores had the nor- root eye of an artist; she could sketch nagnifieently, and painted well Lolls laughed wt her cleverness in these respects. "If you could be a painter dike Ary scheffer or Rosa Bonheur nowt But :hese attempts—I would never make diem!" she would ory, when Dolores's :kill w;ts admired. In music they were rivals, Dolores !ad a sweet, clear eopreno voice, well- teained, true and flexible, Lola a mel- odious, low contralto, There was no comparison, she was always telling Dolores, between the two. Dolores had her own opinion, but did not care enough about the matter to express it, Dolores had a dreamy, poetiottl, ertistio nature, ideal and romantic. Lola was practiaal,'wor•ldly, and mat- ter -et -feet. "I wonder," Lola would say, "when 'lye grow up, which of us will be most beautiful or most admired.? Shall we have many lovers, and which of us will be married first? I should think Hutt I shall; my style is so much rarer than yours. All the girls' in England teem to have fair hair and blue oyes;. low are dark like I ami' so it went on through the long strotoh of years. The next great break was when Lola de Ferree went to Germany to school, and fair; gep- tie Mrs, Clielldan died, quietly and sweetly, es she had lived, She was grea'tly missed and mourned for by her daughter, No one know what the Squire felt; he must have regretted her, for she had been a good wife to him, Her death made Delores mis- tress of White Cliffe. She was still very young, but the Squire acid 'she knew as much as meet people, and she could complete her education by read- ing with him. A few years later Lola returned from Germany; and then the real ri.v. airy of life began between the two girls. They were both beautiful. Dol ores looked like a study by Greuzo,Lola like a pecture by Velasquez or Titian, Dolores was the type of fah. English loveliness, Lola of dark luxuriant beauty, Dolores remembered their first meeting after so many years. As Dol- ores was fully oeoupied, Lola went over to White Cliffe to see her. She started with surprise when she saw that three years had turned her from a girl, into a most, lovely, graceful and charming woman. She barely waited to exchange greetings before she expressed her opinion. "Dolores," " she cried, "you have grown. up into something likea beau- ty! II never thought you would." "For which part of your speeoh shall I thank you?" laughed Dolores. But Lola was contemplating her with a critical eye. " You are—well, I must say it -beau- tiful. Your hair shines like gold, and you.' face is like a flower, What love- ly eyes! Surely, Dolores, you and I together ought to do something!" "In what way?" asked Dolores. "We ought to matte the eountry Pampers, and bring .the most eligible men in England hither. We ought to be always seen together; we should be exoellent toile for each other." "You are still your old self, Lola," laughed the English girl. "I have not thought of such things." And I have thought of little else. iWe: are not like other• young ladies in the same position; there is no hope that we shall pose through the glories of a London season. My mother will not hear of a season in town. and the Squire is of the same way of think- ing, I should imagine, with regard to yourself." "Quite," laughed Dolores—"the very mention of it makes him angry for a week." ' "Then we have not the same chanae as others. I have comp home, tired of school, utterly weary of country life, resolved to marry soon and mar- ry well. My dear mother spends all her time in lamenting the woes of 1a belle France, and gives no thought to the fact that she has a daughter to marry, So I shall take measures for helping myself." "My dear Lola I" cried Dolores,witb a horrified air. " My dear Dolores!" mimicked Lo- la. I have a fashion of saying what I think. I tell you honestly, the life of an old maid lies no charm for me, in fact, I cannot bass' the thought of it. I must marry well. I have found out the number of eligible men in the neighborhood; it is small—most Lamentably small. Furst and foremost, indeed one of the best matches in England, I should say, is Lord Bbys- worth of Deeping Herat. He 3s rath- er older than I care for; but one can- not have everything," sbe added with o sigh, "He is very rich, however, and Deeping Hurst is a magnificent plaoe."

Of course, you are acquainted with nearly all that happens ; but have you heard the latest salvo?" "I have not heard anything very In- teresting," replied Dolores.

"Do not talk to me in that way, Lola; I do not like it," she said. "You pervert the right order of things— which is, that women shall be wooed, not wooers." " Times are changed, Dolores.

" And always will be," returned Dolores, "while women retain—" "My dear, no not preach` to me; it is ail thrown away—completely and entirely thrown away, Let me tell you about the Baronet, Sir Karl Al- lanmore.

I said that his proper name was Sir Charles, and that he called himself Karl because it suit- ed him. I feel sure that I am right" "ram called Dolores, yet I am not Spanish," said Miss Cliefden; and Lo- la looked at her with a grim little smile. "Every one wonders how you found your name, Dolores.

" Have you ever seen him 6" asked Dolores, interested in spite of her- self. "No, not yet ; but I hear that Lady Fielden gives a fete to the school-ohil- dren next week, and we are all sure to go; so we shall see him then.

The most important question to me is What shall 1 wear ? 1 have some exquisite costumes, but am quite undecided about theist, Will you come.. over to Beaulieu and give me your opinion?" "I do not understand much about dress," answered Dolores. "If you are so bent upon conquest, you must wane the dress that suits you beat." "I shall be very good-natured," said Lola.

Troy a moment Dolores was Inclined to be angry with the girl, Whose.opin- ion of her own attractions was so great.

SEARCH FOR SUNKEN (30141. Duke et Argyll Will Try to neeuver Lost Trams re. Several interesting efforts to recov- er ,treasure that has long since lain at the bottom of the sea will signal- ize ignalize the openingyear of the new Dan tury. Of these, the two most import - amt are one which is to be undertak- en under the auspice:Lei Lloyds, off he roast of Holland, and the other under the direction of the. Duke of Argyll, on the coast of Scotland. Inthe former case the treasure am- ounts to $8,000,000 in bar gold, sunk in Her Majesty's ship Latino, in 1799. The Netherlands claimed, the wreck, owing to its being just within the three-mile limit of the Dutch coast. But, after much legal oontroversy,and negotiation, whioh has extended over the greater part of the peat century, the Netherlands Government has given its consent to Lloyds taking the necessary steps to reoover the treasure, which was originally shipped for the purpose of furnishing the ne- cessary supplies tothe governments of the continental powers in the strug- gle against the first Napoleon. The. wreck Itas been located and the trea- sure is accessible. TIME OF S7.'ANISH ARMADA. The other treasure has lain conceal- ed by the deep for several hundreds of years, dating back to tee time of the Spanish Armada. The oraft con- taining the treasure bore the name of Admiral of Florence, and now lies in Lech. Duan in relatively shallow water. The Duko of Argyll has a map showing exactly where it Ilea, and about one hundred years ago one of his ancestors employed a man with a diving bell to begin operations. The diver succeeded in recovering some cannon, but suspended operations on. the Government notifying him that anything reoovered was the proper- ty of the Crown, in spite of the fact that the waters and shore rights at the spot where the wreck lies are the property of the Delke of Argyll FOREGO RIGHTS OF THE CROWN. According 'to the ancient laws of Great Britain, all treasure trove is a perquisite of the; Crown, no matter on whose property it may be found, and this naturally, had a deterrent effect upon any search for treasure. Owing, however, to the fact' that the Duchess of Aryll is a daughter of the Queer., the latter hes agreed to forego the rights of the Crown to all treasure trove rights in connection with the wreak of the Armada flag- ship, the Admiral o1 Florence, and all the" gold, silver and precious stones recovlered will belong exclusively to the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, who are beginning operations with a view to a search of the wreck early in the new year. There is every prospect, therefore, that the Dukedom of Argyll, will ere long be placred in possession of suffi- cient treasure to restore the some- what dimmed fortune of the house.

At the beginning of each year pro- phets and astrologers and all sorts of folks • with long distaltloe •vision start fat to lay bare the future with lee much confidence as the rhyme - makers turn ooh poetry in the first flush of spring, Doe of the most panel -elect of those prophets Is a per- son in London known as "Old Moore." For many years he has issued In the utter part of December a publica- tion called "Old Moore's Almanac." Just who old Moore Is does mot ap- peer, but he has been in the business of making almanacs and prophecies bar so many years that Lorrdonars have come to look forward to the ap- pearance of his almanac and its prophecies with something oe the same interest they manifest toward the holiday season. As a guesser of what 15 gong to happen "Old Moore" has been more successful than the majority of those in the same business. Indeed, many Londoners, practical men and women at that, have become firmly oonvino d Moura can see vlsione and dream dreams and that they will come true. Hie almanac for 1900 con- tained, among other things, the state- ment that one, and only one, Euro- pean monarch would be aesassinated during the year, that there would be more than ohne great war, and that India would be visited by a terrible famine. A nam In the prophesying beefiness can predict a famine in Indio. in almost any old year and be pretty certain to have the prophecy came true. Indira rather RUNS TO FAMINES and a person wrath only short dis- tance sight might venture on a pre- diction at that kind. It is rather a dhfferentt matter, however, to guess that just one European sovereign will be assassinated in any one year, as was the case in 1900. Because of these prophecies and others which oanue true, Londoners have, been look- ing forward with rather unusual in- terest to "Old Moore's" aemomac for 1901. The aymeneo was iss,ed about a month ago, and, among other predic- tions its author made the follnving; "In nunnery, there will be a for- midable agitation in France and a 1 severe abteek will be made upon the' Repubhio." "En February and March, most ' notable events will take place in the extreme East, and India will threaten to rise ,up against British domina-1 time" "April will be a comparatively'. quiet month, adthougn there will be trouble in variona quarters during; the entire year." "Iv May, Ireland will follow the ex- . ample of India and rebel against ; England." "Int Tune, the Anarchists will again come to the front and will give the world much to talk about. Duriag the sacro month the young Ding of Spain will be in danger from his political enemies and be is cautioned' to guard against them." "July will be a month or cttstes- trophee the whole world being threat- ened art this time with mis5or•tunes of various kinds. Those who are plan- ning to tate a journey during this month will do well to remain at home." "August will be comparatively quint. " "Darling September, India will again duffer terribly from famine." "During October, the Dervishes will start an agitation which may at- tain formidable proportions." "In November, the kingdom of Hol - Land wi11 attract attention by its demgeropa and novel diplomatic policy and the statesmen in the various foreign offices will have to exercise all their skill if they would avoid a oron:fliot." "In December there will be ine e•urreotions revolts and strikes in various quarters of the globe. As a rule, they may not be of great tan- portamce, yet they will occur at this time crud they will be striking features of the month." To the lag mind it might appear to be a somewhat hazardous under - baking to FIS OOMING EVENTS with the detimiteneee that "Old Moore" does. In his almanac this year he has located certain events in certain specific months, and if his prophecy 3m relation to January doesn't pan oust, be is likely to find his reputation as a prophet serious- ly impaired. It will be seem that the almanac maker reverts to India again; and another famdme is to trouble that reentry. Since the Irish have al- ways been uneasy under British domination, it was comparatively safe for "Old Moors," to predict that Ire- land would rebel against England.
