The young monarch made no .answer in words. For a moment a etrange light beamed in his eyes, and then he arose and stepped down from his throne.

There were two brothers or us -we were twins, and so nearly did we resemble each other that even our parents were at times mistaken. I had a wife whom I loved as the apple of my eye -one in whom was centered the whole of my heart's affection, but in an evil Moment 1 became maddened by the thougbt that she was falseto me.
