HOW }IIS MAJESTY NICHOLAS
CAME TO ENGLAND,
The whole town was passionate over
Ian, fur your Londoner loves a great
king,-ot,-I`ll say, -oven a little one.
A czar is the greatest of great (rings.
ma fiat -ah, hero .1 am tritely philos-
ophizing, while looking as on that
eventful evening, into the vistas of the
•Green Park ; the stretches sinking into
shadows, as the watchful yellow lights
begin to gleam between Lha seurying
leaves, You know that delightful view
with Piccadilly's chattering roar,
"Waiter." But the piece was crowd-
ed, and 1 had to be patleot. I was
lonely and half wished Illadn't left

that the white -capped landlady is the
original fairy godmother. But Iwon-

"Wei tee,"
"Yes, sir; beg pardon, sir; yea sir,
the fillet is delicious, Wheel, you
drink, sir? Thanks, sir."
Presently, as he bustled, I looked out
.again on Piccadilly. What a lot of
,people were coming and going! And
where indeed do they come from; and
where de Lbey go to -these dinner -coat-
ed .gentlemen in the hurrying bane
some ? Who dines them? I would
wish that somebody were dining me.
And these ladies in the barouches, with
the flunkeys in gold and silver. 1

being alone in London I 'I he talk at

"Nicholas First, -oh, he was the Czar,
-came when the Queen was twenty-
three. This man deesnct look his
part,"
"He's the Czar," responded the other.
Your Anglo-Saxon discusses personages
informally. Only at the Queen does
criticism hesitate.,
"He's a t Balmo-," the voice. went on.
Amt I was not listening, since there
had entered, and unattended, a very
pretty, -an exquisitely charming young

she was rather tall, extremely well
gowned, -that is, with the deft sim-
plicity of the Parisian modiste. Her
face, rather thin, had the. clear pallor,
-the one distinction of some women,
but she had many. Well, to specify:
the forehead was low ancb broad, under
the bonnet covering a mass of dark,
waving hair; and the face was alert
and vivacious, with the most enter-
taining dark meas. Now, behind her
was a man, who evidently was not
with her; 1, for some reason, noticed
him in that glance I gave the lady.
She was not English, nor yet American;
yes, perhaps American ; you never can
tell. But the man'? I fancied about
him -something sleek, even erotes-
sional,
She had advanced into the middle of
the cafe; you doubtless remember that
great, rather brilliant room in the
corner opposite Green Park, From
the different tables every one glanced
at her; for she was -have I said it?
-a noticeable woman. She stood there,
shenotedLhe little man1 have en
men-
tioned. who had taken a seat at one
enel of the tables. For a moment she
looked frightened; for I can express
in no other way the surprising change
spreading over that interesting face.
She hesitated, and then came toward
any table. S did not expect it. Who
indeed would? She took the chair at
any side and then with surprising
adroitness -for I saw she wished to ap-
pear to know some one In the room,
and I surmised because of that pro-
fessional little person -she begun to
speak to me in a delightful voice, in
English which, while excellent, was, too
studied in its inflections to be ner tun
tive tongue.
"Sir, you'll excuse me; you'll under-
stand, l axe watched, and must appear
to know somebody here,"
Now, as a matter of fact, I didn't un-
derstand at all.
It's very good of you," I began,
striving for cleverness, as if I had ex-
pected her to take that seat at my
table.
Ah, I didn't understand, sir," said
the waiter, "two portions?"
"One will do for as both," said my
lady. I saw she was trembling. And
why ? Of course I thought of the lit-
tle man who had followed her.
"I an sorry," I said, for soma reason
I can't explain.
"I know you must be," she said, with
a t0ul;b of laughter. "You are help-
ing me out of a dilemma."
Eh -a dilemma?" said I.
I do not dare be seen -now -since
somebody 1 fear is in the room -with
the gentleman I came here to join,"
The gentleman t" 1 cried.
"Re's there! Now don't appear to
stare; over there at the corner table."
I looked. He, too, was rather notice-
able, his Out front well hidden by
decorations; he might have been fifty,
or any age; handsome, with that white
hair and alertly youthful, smooth -shave
en face, with close, firm, lips, and deep-
set dark eyes. But if she were speak-
ing the truth;, ,he ,certainly was ob-
livious of her.

fied ate. Yet, although I explained to
the officers again how it alt happened,
the United States representatives had
to bind themselves to be responsible for
My good behavior during the Czar's
visit. The situation was particularly
exasperating. I knew as, late in the
afternoon, 1 approached Clarges Street
that I should be shadowed during the
rest of any stay in England, and- I
have repented Ct-1 mentally cursed the
Princess de Txehizond.
Yet, -to philosophize about the in-
consistency of man !-when on my
desk I found a note scented sealed
with her crest, 1 felt at once I was
weak,
"Will 1eLr. Danvers favor the Prin-
cess de Thehizond-tor whom he al-
ready etas done a great favor -by call-
ing at No, -Park Lane, 0:30 this even-

by that ellen:Ling head of the great
Russian lady.

from the doorway.
"Why out of that orowvded room did
you do me -the honor?" I asked,
"1 am quick at reading human na-
ture," she observed.
"Flattery," said 1, "is a woman's
weapon ; yet there are women-"
Who are better without it?"
"I didn't remari- that," I answered;
and Uhen I remembered,
'You know how Lhe information was
obtained? I have sent any maid away,'
"It would seem," said I, "that a lady
-a Princess -whom Ris Majesty the
Czar protects -would not 'plot-",
"It is for one I care about," she said
solely.
"So I have surmised," I said,
And I added.
T ev0ulcl wish I were he."
"It's prettily phrased ; yet -you are
not."
"No," said I sadly
"Now," she said, "I have thanked
you, -but indeed not enough. (Will
you forgive me if I go to dinner?"
But not nri,ne?"' said I, lamely,
"Not this time, 1121: Danvers."
For a moment 1 held her baud.
"Good-bye."
"You said 'au revoir,' before."
"I can't tell," said the, laughing gen-
tly; I won't say coquettishly.
I was dismissed; I descended into the
gloom of Park Lane,
I read the next day, that Nicholas
had arrived at Cherbourg; that the
Czarina had not Buffered trete mal -de -

Now, do you know, las the day wan-

zond. Will you believe me, I dressed
myself most carefully, studying the
tails of my frock, sad the pose of my
cravat, and the immaculateness of my
bat. Would she see me? I would dare
it.
"The Princess," said the flunkey,
"left this morning for Ostend,"

In this odd adventure we were ec-

"The Czar Nicholas," said I, at last.
"You are then a Russian?"
"Mi perhaps."
"But you confess to knowing Ilim,
Rs Majesty?"
"Yes, but -ie you will -let's change
the subject."
"You trick acbni'raible French , and

-"that I have proven what you have

"Yes, mare,"
She looked at me a moment and
reeohed for her gloves.
"Thanks, no coffee. You are very
good. Alt, he is going."
The "he" was the man with the de-
corations, whom ber eyes followed out
of the door, and on. to Piccadilly,
"'He has gone," she saki, hen voice
sinlring.

w'os so obvious.
"So must I."

You will believe me it you ever have

out glancing at it, pushed it underhen

"I shall be sorry for the sequel."

ed tan between the yellow lights of
Piccadilly's evening stretch. Well,
indeed, here was adventure. "Sir,"

" There's no telling where I would
have been had I kept on the old treat-
ment," said 11Ir. Bauer, with a merry
laugh, the other day, while recounting
his experiences as a very sick man.
"Me. Clemens," ho continued, "was
the lase resort in my ease, For
months previous I had been suffering
indescribable tortures. I began with
a loss of appetite and sleepless nights.
Then, as the trouble kept growing, I
w,is getting weaker, and began losing
(Josh and strength rapidly. My
stomach refused to retain food of any
kind, During all this time I was
tender medical treatment, and took
everything prescribed, but without
relief, J•uat about when my condition
seemed moat hopeless, I heard of a
wonderful cure effected in a case
somewhat similar to mine, by the
Great South AraerieanNTervine Tonic,
and I finally tried that. On the first
day of its use I began to feel that it
was doing what no other medicine
had done. The first dose relieved the
distress completely. Before night I
actually felt hungry and ate with as
appetite such as I had not known for
months. I began to pick up in
strength with surprising rapidity,
slept well nights, and before I knew
it I was eating throe square meals
regularly every day, with as much
relish as ever. I have no hesitation
whatever in saying that the South
American Nervine Tonic cured me
when all other remedies failed, I
have recovered my old weight—over
200 ponnds—and never felt better
in my life."
Mr. Frank Bauer's experience is
that of all others who have used the
South American Nervine Tonic. Ita
instantaneous action in relieving dis-
tress and pain is due to the direct
effect of this treat remedy upon the
nerve centres, whose fagged vitality
is energized instantly by the very first
dose. It is a great, a wondrous cure
for all nervous diseases, as well as
indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes
to the real source of trouble direct,
and the sick always feel its marvel- ,e
bus sustaining and restorative power
at one, on the very Shat day of its
use,
