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 exobange greetings before she expressed her opinion. "Dolores," elle cried, "you have grown up into something like a beau- ty! eau-ty1 II never thought you would." "+ For which pert of your speech 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 your face islike a flower. What love- ly eyes! Surely, Dolores, you and I together ought to do something!" "In what way?" asked Dolores. " We ought to make the country famous, and bring .the most eligibly mien in England hither. We ought to be always seen together; we should be excellent foils for each other." "Yon are still your old self, Lola," laughed the English girl. "I have not thought of such things." " And I have thought o£ little 'else, We are not like other• young ladies in the same position; there is no hope that we shall pass 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 - woe -- "How failed mho must look near Ile. 1" The first thought of the i ngl'lsh girl' was that Lola de Ferree was beau- tiful after the fashion of, the pictures which hung in the gallery at Deop- 'IngHurst. Madame left them to entertain each other, little dreaming that she had brought together the two, ' who, of all the world, ought norm, to have known each other. Then followed other peaceful years, during which there was a oonstant exehange of visits between the .own - pante of Beaulieu and White Cliffe. Child as she was, Dolores, with her delicate, rained • instinct, did not quite like Lola. The young F•renob lady was very vain; and there was troth- ing that she delighted in so much as comparing herself with Dolores. "You English girls 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 calor and fineness.

Dolores had her own opinion, but did not care enough .about the mutter to express It. Dolores had a dreamy, poetical, rrtistio nature, -ideal and romantic. Lola was practical, worldly, and mat- ter :f -feet. " I wonder," Lola would say, "when 'we 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 that I shall; my style is so much rarer titan yours.

TO De Continued. e SEARCHFOR SUNKEN GOLii. Duke or Argyll Will Try to lleruver lost Treasure, ' Several interesting efforts to recov- ier treasure that has long since lain at the bottom of the sea will signet - o ize the opening year of the now een- tury. Of these, the two most import- " amt are one whfoh is to be undertake en under the auspices f Lloyds, off the coast of Holland, and the other under the direction of the Duke of d' Argyll, on the coast of Scotland. In the former case the treasure am- u punts to $8,000,000 in bar gold, sunk in Her Majesty's ship Latina, in 1799. e The Netherlands claimed the wreck, awing to its being just within the three-mile limit of the Dutch coast, e But, attar much legal oontroversy,and negotlation, which has extended over e the greater part of the past century, e the Netherlands Government has t given Its consent to Lloyds taking the necessary steps to recover the treasure, which was originally shipped e for the purpose of furnishing the ne- cessary supplies to the governments - of the continental powers in the strug- gle against the first Napoleon. The wreck has been located and the trea- ' sure is accessible. TIME OF SPANISH ARMADA. The other treasure bas lain eoneeal- ed by the deep for several hundreds of years, dating back to the time of the Spanish Armada. The craft con- taining the treasure bore the name of Admiral of Florence, and now lies in Loch Duan in relatively shallow water. The Duke of Argyll has a map showing exactly where It lies, 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 recovered 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 Duke 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 hos agreed to forego the rights of the Crown to all treasure trove rights in connection with th•o wreak of the Armada flag-. ship, the Admiral of Florence, and all the gold, silver and precious stones recovered will belong exolusively to the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, who are beginning operations with a view to a soarob of the wreck early in the "Pam called Dolores, yeti am not Spanish," said Miss Citation; and Lo- la looked at her with a grim little smile, "Every one wonders how you found your name, Dolores. But do lot me tell you about my Baronet. It is said that Sir Karl is one of the handsom- est, most debonair, young men in Eng- land; moderately triol, though by no means so wealthy as Lord Rhysworth, and everything that is most delight- ful," "Have you ever seen him 9" asked Dolores, interested in spite of her- self, "No, not yet; but I bear that Lady Fielden gives a fete to the school-ohil- dren next weak, and eve are all sure to go; so we shall see him then. Lord Blrys'tv:crth will be there, also, Ishould imagine, and everybody else. Themost important question to me is What shall 1 wear? 1 have some exquisite costumes, but am quite undecided about thea. 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 wear the dress that suits you best,' "1 shall be very good-natured," said Lola,'" If, as is not at all improbable, both Lord Rhysevorth and Sir Karl admire me, I shall make one over to you" " You awe' very generous." Pot' a moment Dolores was inclined. to be angry with the girl, whose opin- ion of her owls attractions was so great, "I like faire play," continued Lola, with a righteous air ; "and I shall certainly make a point of never for- getting you." You seem to tthink it out of tb'e question then," laughed Dolores, "tbat any one. should' admire me ?" :Cbo urtterr vanity of the French girl amused hear eaooeding'ly. " I do not soy that," replied Lola, with an air of forbearance quite es amusing to Miss Cliefden as her pre - virus speech, had been. Your style of beauty always has some admirers." " While yours is irresistible, I sup - poet,?" said Dolores, and the look of eei,f-complaooney on her companion's facie' told her that alio implicitly be- lieved her Words. Dolores remembered all tilde as One Batt in liar room Wang the balance of new year. There is every prospect, therefore, that the Dukedom of Argyll, will ere long be placed in possession of suffi- cient treasure to restore the some- what dammed fortune of the house. • rs.

TWO orU1n Ilia Notable Guesses lane Year ^-Ile Looks Mr Rebellions 'In India and Irelandb-Other Eatnatrephen foretold. At the beginning or each year pro- phets and astrologers and all sorts of f Mlk>4 wash lang'dis'tanoe bislon sett ion to lay bare the future with ere much confidence as tits rhyme - hookers turn Mutt poetry In the first time of sprung. One of the most persistent orf these prophets is a per- son Ln' London known as "Old Moore." For many years be has issued in the latter part of Deeemjber a,publica- tion called "Old Moore's Alrnaslao," Just holo old Moore is does mot apo pear, but be has been in the business arf making almanacs and prophesies for eo 'miwner years that Londoners have ccmo to look forward to the ap- pearance of his almanac and its prophecies w!tb something of the same interest they manifest toward the holiday season. As a guesser of what ie going to happen "01d Moore" bas been more successful than'tbe majority of those to the same business. Indeed, many Londoners, practical men and women at that, have become firmly oonvino- ed that "01d Moore" oan see visions sad dream dreams and that they will came true. His almanac for 1900 con- tained, among other things, the state- ment that one and only one, Euro- peva monarch would be assassinated during the year, that there would be more than one great war, and that India would be visited by a terrible famirne. A mama in the prophesying bueiaess can predict a :famine in India en nlntlost any old year and be pretty certain to have the prophecy come true. Imdua rather RUNS TO FAMINES aced a pere,ore with only short dis- tance sight might veature on a pre- diction of that kind. It is rather a afferent matter, however, to guess- that uessthan just one European sovereign will be assassinated in any one year, as was the case in 1900. Because of these prophecies and others which came true, Londoners have been look- ing forward with rather unusual in- terest' to ""018 Moore's" aemenac for 1901. The almanac was Ise esti about a month ago, and, among other predie- tions its author made the f-ollewing; "In January, there will be a for- midable agitation in France and a severe attack will be made upon the Republic." "pn Fabruury and March, most notable overuse will Lake place in the extreme East, and India will threaten bo rise up against British domina- tionJ' "April will :be a compare Lively quint month, although there will be trouble in various quarters during the enittre year." "In May, Ireland will follow the ex- amrple of India and rebel agairoet England," "'Ice June, the Anarchists will again come to the front and will give the' world much to talk about. During, the same mouth the young King of Spasm will be in danger from his political enemies and he is cautioned' to guard against them-" I • { "July will be a neonte or castes-` trophes the whole world being threat- ened art the time with misfortunes of various kinds. Those who are plan- ning to take a journey during this monib will do well to remain at home," "Au.gu,et will be compore tivele quiet." "During September, India will again duffer terribly from famine." "During Ootaber, .the Dervishes will start an agitation which may at- tain formidable proportions." "In November, the kingdom of Hol- land will attract attention by ite dangerous aid novel dipinanatio policy and the etateam.ero in the various foreign offices will have to exercise all their skill if they would avoid a oe,nfliot." "In December there will he ire surreotione revolts and strikes in various quarters of the globe. As a rule, they may net be of great im- portance, yet they will occur at this time and they will be striking features of the nuontb•" To the ley mend it might appear to be a somewhat hazardous under - balding to MIX COMING EVENTS with the dofeniteaness that "Old Moore" does. In his almenao this year he has located certain events in certain specific months, and if his prophecy ice relation to January doesn't pain out, he to likely to find his reputation erg a prophet serious- ly impaired. It will be seem that the alrmnnao maker revolts to India again, and another Camino is to trouble that country.
