How stupid he had been! How blind! It was as if a curtain had been suddenly lifted and the lights turned up. The players in the centre of the stage stood out sharp and clear under the calcium of recollection, and itt the background were revealed mistily the other characters in the little drama. lIe counted back the years—twelve of then -since when, seemly more than a lad, he was an under secretary at the Imperial Court; and had fallen itt love even then with the slender, dignified ('idld of ten in short frocks, with two golden braids reaching below her supple little waist.

He smiled con- fidently at the girl, who sat as carven stone and watched the two men with silent intentness. "And because," his voice grew more businesslikke with the cool consideration of au interested counsellor, "you have received nothing but kindness at Her Highness' hands, you are going to give to her the letters you brought here to- night; and because I do not believe in your system of ehantage you are going to hand them to her without the sum of"—he leaned across the table and looked at her earnestly. "I believe you said the suns was—" "Four thousand pounds," she answered faintly. "Alt, yes, four thouspnd pounds," Edgerton, continued, calmly. D'Ornano glared at both, savagely, from under his lowered brows. "It was not my humor to sell them, but three months ago the writer of these letters offered me as much, and in some quarters"—his face changed to one of sharpness and evil cunning --'"in some quarters they are worth even more than that, but"—he shrugged his raised shoul- ders, slightly, and again bowed cynically to the girl, who sat so still with her virile, haughty face—"because Her Royal Highness has done me the honor to come a long distance for them, they are hers for the price I have named." Edgerton drew his lipe together tight- ly. His voice was lowered to a polite monotone and he spoke with quiet de- liberation: "As you say, Her Royal Highness has come a long distance, so you are going to give thein to her." "And I tell you, Monsieur," D'Ornano's utterance rose shrill and desperate above the subdued chorus of many voices, and his ringed fingers closed and opened with excitement, "the last time 1 met Her Highness' mother, she—" "Oh, don't, don't," interrupted the girl, in an odd, husky voice. Edgerton turned to the man with a sudden movement, and uttered a sharp exclamation. Then, recalling himself, he reached across the table and laid hie strong hand gently for a minute over the young woman's slender one, where it rested on the spotless damask, She was trembling sightly, and the white hyacinths in the silvered vase just touching her hadr were not whiter than her oheeks.

Flower Scheme for Table. A late design for (sinner table adorn- ment is a Japanese umbrella bereft of a centre as. and A ( its paper cover usedt floral piece, The effect is lmad by trimming the "ribs" with artificial cherry blossoms, while front each point depends a gay lantern, from which a small electric light gleams brightly. Small electric bulbs may be arranged along the rod and among the blossoms ,n which the umbrella bane is embedded. In order to fasten the umbrella secure- ly flat strips of wood may be screwed against the handle, acting as braces, as Christmas trees are fastened, or the um- brella handle may be thrust through tt hole cut from a block of wood suffi- eiently heavy to act as a base. Natural flowers may be substituted for the cherry blossoms, if preferred, and one of the prettiest arrangements shown was that of combined pink and white roses, with smilax. In this instance, says the New York Telegram, bunches of roses took the place of the lanterns. Smaller umbrellas used in this way are a pretty decora- tion for tables at a child's party. Three or four small tables are used and a different flower scheme for each is em- ployed. SMALLEST REPUBLIC, 413 MISCEL1*ANEOUS.

It is advertising that keeps the rust off the rails. Dawn of New Social Era in Oregon.
