LOUIS, 1904 LOVE AND A TITL There is a pleasant bustle and confu- h Bion downstairs; it is not every day that t the inn has such distinguished guests as the Marquis and Marchioness of Fern- d dale and a live princess, and when the h three arrive dounetairs they find a a breakfast which would not do discredit e to the castle in the matter of fresh e trout, eggs, cream and venison. b And Vane, when Verona appears, timid y and blushing, is all kindness and consid- a eration. His own newly found happiness is makes him more gentle and sympathetic a than ever, and, as he leads her to the table, he says, quietly, but with calm It confidence: "Jeanne has told me all, princess; you must let nue be your friend." 1 It is very little to say; but Vernon knows the power of the great marquis, and gradually grows much at ease, though she looks every now and then at the window wistfully. t As for Jeanne, still attired in her rid- h, ing habit, she is like a girl just from school for the holidays, who has met by „ chance her lover. George has not been forgotten, for Cls Vane has been outside, and given him 0 a scolding and a ten -pound note! In the middle of the breakfast there comes the sound of a horseman, and Co in a few minutes there is the clatter of " hoofs, and Hal bursts in, to stop at the m door and stare at Vane as if he had been th a ghost. "Vane!" he exclaims; "you here?" "Why not?" says Vane. "Do you think m fou can ride backward and forward along a country road in the night with. p out people knowing it? Here, come and m sit down, and keep the news until you have had your breakfast. Princess, will m you make some room for him?" and Verona, blushing almost as deeply as th Hal, does as she is bid. "Well," says Hal, with a long breath, G "if this doesn't beat anything; but, oh, bn Vane, I'm so glad. Has Jeanne told ni "Everything," says Vane, smiling. th `Eat your breakfast, and we'll face the ha But the enemy is impatient, for just au as Hal has taken his cup of coffee, and W began to whisper to Verona, the door o opens and the count appears. Hal springs to his feet, but Vane, er with a gesture of command, forces him down again, and goes forward. White q as death, Verona falls back upon Hal's arm, and Jeanne, no less agitated, flies au to her. Vane alone seems cool and self- in possessed; with quiet composure, he W places himself between tho count and the h rest, and holds out his hand. The count, grinning and grimacing, re- se Eases to take his eyes off the group, and p is about to speak, when Vane stops him. "I expected yuo, count," he says. ,I "Will you step outside with me?" and, OL putting bis hand on the count's arm, he leads him out. But the count, having succeeded in hi tracking his prey, refuses to be led too iso far, and pulls up, as straight and up- kn right as a soldier, outside the door. yo Vane smiles in spits of himself. ho "Do not be alarmed, count," he says; ho "I will answer that our young friends ho will not attempt to escape" "Soh!" says the count, livid with gt passion, but making a last attempt m to keep up his old carelessness. th "You will aeswer for them, my lord! It is well; I am only too de- lighted; but permit me to remind you that her highness the Princess Verona de is possessed of a legal guardian, and that, if she were not, I"—and he touches so his breast with a pointed finger—"I am th her future husband as any interest for me, you are mis- aken." "I think not," says Vane, Then sud- enly he alters his tone, and Laying his and on the count's arm, he says, with smile: `"Count, let us be candid with ash other. You wish to secure the Prin- ess Verona for a wife; you have been etrothed to her since—well, too many ears ago for her consent to have been eked to the arrangement. The princess no longer a child, but a woman, and very charming young lady, too. Not- withstanding her engagement to you, ane as given her heart elsewhere—to my rother-in-law."

I suppose many readers will be start- led and some offended, at least in thelr first impression, when they see our churches arraigned as misusers of wealth. How is that possible? they will protest. I Are not our churches obviously and eon- 1 spicuously devoted to the general good? Are they not guided by able and unsel- fish men who devote their lives to the spiritual needs of their fellowmen? And is it not preposterous to charge them with misusing wealth-, either shatnefully or otherwise, when everyone knows that most of our churches are struggling un- der a burden of debt? All is true enough, yet the briefest consideration makes it clear that 1.]1e hundred thousand churches in America (let us take that number for the sake of argument) are trying to do their work under conditions that would be considered foolish and wasteful if they existed in any or for four or five even- ings! Imagine a hundred thousand depart- ment stores doing active business only one day in seven and remaining closed for the other six days or, at best, do- ing languid business on one or two odd afternoons! Imagine a hundred thou- sand theatres giving performances two or three evenings a week and then re- maining closed and silent for four or five evenings; Imagine a hundred thou- sand factories working 10 hours a day for a single day in seven and perhaps working five hours a day for two other days, and then letting their fine mach- inery lie idle all the rest of the time! We should call it stupid and extravagant folly, we should expect such foolish fac- tories, theatres and department stores to lose both in money and general es- teem and, if such conditions persisted, we should conclude either that the dir- ectors of three activities were hopeless- ly incompetent, or that there was a very small demand for what they were try- ing to furnish. Of course we have grown up in the idea .that it is the right and natural state of churches to be closed and silent most of the time, just why no one can say, but, being creatures of habit, we accept things as we find them. We ex- pect our houses to be used every day, our barns to be used every clay, our shops, libraries, hospitals, office build- ings, all the structures on our soil we expect to be used every day, save only the churches which are the anost costly and the most beautiful. These we ex- pect to be used occasionally, less than half the time, yet the churches repre- sent a huge material investment based 1 on infinite labor and saving, a value far 1 greater than all the gold coin in the i"nited States, value, counting land and buildings, teat certainly exceeds two- thousand wo thousand million dollars! On which the anoney interest, at 5 per cent., would be two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a day! And the spiritual daily equiv- alent,—well, that is beyond our reck- oning, but it should be very great and precious to offset so huge a sum. And most of the days it is wasted! --Success.

If that freedom is assured in the mine regions there need be little uneasiness about the result of the threatened coal strike. Should it come there are two ways in which a coal strike may be broken. One is by the es- tablishment in fact as well as in law, of the right of the individual to work unmolested. The other is by the consent lof the people to an increase of $50,000,- 000 or so in their annual coal bill. Minard's Liniment Cures Diphtheria. Smallest Inhabited Island.

"I am not saying it by way of com- pliment to lay own people, but the truth is that among men of education and good standing in London it is the rarest thing to hear one give vent to an oath. You may sit in the clubs for month after month and never hear a blasphemous word uttered. In fact, profanity is heard in England only from the lips of the rude and vulgar, and, therefore, I was rather surprised by hearing such fre- quent use of profane expletives by .Am- erican's of the best social condition."

New York is nothing if not imitative. It apes Paris without the wit and brilliancy of the French capital. It imitates London, but succeeds in reflecting only the cheap and meretricious. A saphead with a cane and monocle is the most popular ideal of man- hood in New York. The whole town is one glaring gilt -lettered beer sign. It has hardly any bome life to speak of, and what is spoken of is not mentioned in polite society. It is a parasite among cities, living upon the industry of the country at Largo. If you doubt it consider the recent disclosure., of how its captains of finance have waxed fat upon i11 -gotten profits gained from burglar- ious use of the people's money.

One morning be- fore daylight there was a violent ring- ing at the door, and Mr. Fox, going to the Window, found a group of creditors below. "Are you fox hunting or hare hunting this morning, gentlemen?" he asked. "Como now, Mr, Fox," one of them called up, "toll us when you are going to pay that bill. Just set a date and we will leave you in peace." "All right," was the reply; "how will the day of judgment suit you?" "Not at all," uaict the creditor; "we'll all be too busy on that day."
