Katu that day smlli'd upon tJonstanve. A larso boar was driven by the beaters direetly across the path vhw she and St4iuilaus had taken their stand. At Biirht fif rhem the monster reared blm self up threiitouiiiKly on his bind fet, but the .clrl, liftius ber rlUe. calmly shot him through the heart. Completely faselmiMl by ber beauty and courage. Stanislaus j-ielded him self a willing captive to her charms. From that moment his passion jrrew dally. The love which her courage tnid inspired was deepened and strencthenod by the sight of her at home, coated modestly before her .spinning wheel. As the wheil ltr volved and the white liaiwls of the maiden drew the threud from it, Staii lflaus, sitting by her side, murmured iu to ear to the accompanlmeiit of the whirring music of the wbeul, bla vows of love and pllfhted ber hi troth. The betrothal wa publicly celplirat il soou oftwr at the hotie of Cou Btanw's farhor. Tbxj lwrenta of the bridegroom, however, saw with deep thoufrb secret dislike, bis infatuation for the daughter of their luipoveilsh wl nelirhlor, Mikronowskl, and they ixrsiiaded rhelr son, shortly after the (elobratlon of the betrothal, to take a journey to Dresden, where August the Stroug, King of Poland and EIctor of Saxony, held bis court. The Polish Amliassador at Dresden was secretly Instructed by ZamofttM's parents to lead the young nobleman two the gay profligate society of the CaiMtai. To the beautiful young widow, An toinette, Countess of Ogluska, the fa vorite nlike of Augustus and bis all powerful minister, Bruhl, was given the congenial task of rendering Stan islaus faithless to his ailment love. Mistress of the arts of coquetry and intrigue, the fair countes soon accom pirshed this. A lotter, written to Constance only a few months after his arrival In Dresden from her lover, apprised her of his desertion of 1it, and, at the same time begged forgiveness for his faithlessness. Family interests, and Ms duty to the state and his king, her recreant lover wrote, were the cause of his breaking bis plighted word. On receipt of this epistle, Counts nee shed a few angry tears, but she was not the woman to weep over a lover'a desertion. Plans of revenge for the slight pnt upon ber caused her soon to forget her grief. One night, while returning late from i ball at Prince fopieha's, as he whs driving through the forest of Orodnn, Ills sleigh was suddenly surrounded by a band of armed men. At the sight of thLs band the coachmen and footman leaped quickly from the box and fled away ou foot. Zamofskl de fended himself bravely, but was over come after a short struggle. He was bound" and a sack was drawn over bis head and face, and be was lifted on & horse, which was led off at a gallop. Tho young man, supposing he had Von atacknd by robbers, with which lie forest was Infested, now gave lBsell up for lost After a wM ride 'or aa hour or so, Stanislaus was i ware by the sound uf liia Isyso's toofs that they were crossing a bridge. Xireetiy sifter be was lifted from the iddle and hurried on foot for a short Utance. The sack was then removed ndl be discovered himself to he In a nnll, cell-Ilka apartment, with a sin Ic grated window high up in one of .wall.

"Expect no mercy from mo I give yen only one choice. Klther you marry me, here and at ono, or you die." "I cannot marry you, Constance," be ri'tunu-d, tlrmly; "my duty to my parents and my country forbid It." "You are deceiving me."

"Then prepare, and ut once, for tt oath." coldly returned the disdained iKtiuty. '! nhall leave you now to send a prVst In my stead. In a nuar ter of an hour you shall die ou the gallows." ZumofVikl started Involuntary, but controlled himself imiuedliMely, and lowed low, without opening his llns. A few ime'ieiits after Constance had pono a tiriest entered the rsm. "Is U rcelly so serious?" demanded Znmoiskl of the nvwomer. "The gallows has already been envt- d In the court yard," replll the other. A quarter of an hour later. Zam ofskl, soeiuvly bound, was led into the omit yard. Not even the sight of tlie glblM't, liowever, could slwike his determination. It wa-s only when he was on the scaffold ami felt the noose tightening around his neck that he gave way. "I am ready," he muttered to tho priest standing near him. "Ivet tho marriage take place." Constance gave orders that he bo lifted from the scaffold and his bonds removed. Zamofskl was now bliklen to outer the capel, which had already been lighted tor the occasion. The marriage vrtimouy was quickly performed by the priest, the rings exchanged, the blessing pronounced. The ceremony over Zamofskl was conducted luto a richly furnlslud apartment by bis bride, who, seating herself on a divan covered with bear skins, tin; addressed him, her eyes flashing scorn as she spoke: "You are at liberty, now, my lord, to go whithersoever It may please you to go. I have no further demand to make on you, either as regards your pro) crty or your ierson. I shall remain, as ltel'orv, under the protection of my f.'i'tln-r and the shelter of his roof. Wo part r.ov and forever. Farewell"' Zamofskl gaaed at Iwr a moment iu astonishment, then recovering biui self, lKwd silently and left her. After this strange wedding the young count's friends set the legal machin ery In motion to have the marriage annulled. All this time he remained at Ostrog. delving among the books. One day. riding slowly through the forest nud sunk devn In thought, he came face to face with Constance, who appeared suddenly from out of a Thicket opposite. Zamofskl bent to his saddlo-lKiw in greeting, and she uc kuowUdged his salutation by a slight uod. When she bad passed he drew rein and gaged long and fixedly after her. He sighed nud murmured, half under bis breath: "What an absurdity It is for the husband of a young and 1eautlful wo man to imsft his days alone like a her mit ainoug dusty, musty folios." He was not (without horn- of encoun tering Iier again In hie daily ride. Fall ing to do so, however, lie rode oil secretly one night to Zafoolonv, tied his lnro to a tree in a grove hard by. nud then stole through the garden up to the house. The windows were securely closed by thick, wooden shutters, hut a slm der ray of light, creeping through one of then:, betrayed le presence of a rift. Applying his eye to this, he found that he could see Into a small room, furnished with a Turkish divan. ' Bear skin rugs were thrown across III and laid on the floor beside it. A little to one side stood an embroidery frame and, on a small stand, a elver-branch-1 candlestick, with three lighted candles In It. Constance oame Into the room pres ently. Seating herself on tho trVvan, slie drew the 'fraru aside and threw herself down on the dark skins of the divan. Then-after Zamofskl came secretly to the house every night. These nightly visits to hi wife's home had gone on for some weeks, when one evening his Jealousy was aroused by seeing a sleigh -drive up rato the court yard from which a tall, Iiandsome man, wrapped in furs, alighted. As he could not visit Za bolow, except under cover of darkness be commlHstoned his valet to do so, and to bring him back word who the newHmer might bo. The man brought back word that the strange truest was Oouut Starbel, and the further information that he was a suitor for Constance's hand wIhmi, on the annullmcnt of ber mar riage ehe would be free to enter lu a second union. This news fairly set Zamofskl be side himself. Maddeued by mortified pride aud fruitless passion, be lay in ambush one night for Count Starliel as be was returning homeward through the form of Oetrog. He barred the way of Ms rival and fierce ly challenged him to single combat. Startwl dismounted from his horse, nud drawing bis sabre, the dis-l had already lasted long enough for each combatant to nave received serious wounds, when Constance, unexpected ly appearing, put an end to the com bat 8he came riding swiftly p and dashed her horse In between the com batants, heedless of tho leaping, clash (words. . - "What Is the reason of your wan ton and unprovoked attack upon this nobicman?" flho dmnaiidt-d. looking sternly at her hucfoond. "He has dared to come here, madam, ns a suitor for your iMviid," Zamofskl riturm-d, hotly. Constance broke Into a ringing laush. "Put up your nword. sir," she said, merrily; "there is no further use for It. Count Starbel Is not a suitor for my hand, but for that of my sister." Then she dressed their wounds with her own hands and then Invited her husband to a private Interview In the very opart-incut through the abutter of which he had so often wathed her. Throwing herlf on the divan and leaning back against its covering of bear sklu rugs, she glanced m'schlev otlsly up at Zamofskl, a he stood Ir resolutely before ber, and demandi-d: "What must I do to prevent similar cccapades of yours In the future?"' "Forgive me!" be exclaimed, falling tifi his knees at her feet. "But count, have yon forgotten the duty you owe to your king and coun try, which was such a bar to our union formerly?" "I have forgotten everything except that I love you!" be exclaimed, a ho en tight her In his arms. Three days later, Constance, clothed in a magnificent mantle of ermine, leaning back en the cushions of bear cklns In a sl.-igh richly gilded and drawn by three superb horses, made her way, to the Joyous ix-aliug of bolls nnd the bxmilng of cannon, through tin- castle gates of Ostrog. New York Journal. Where 1 line skips a Kay. "There Is a small island In tho South Pacitlc," said John L. Davis, a veteran sen captain, the other day, "where there only appear to lx n'.x days In the week. This extraordinary phenomenon Is brought about by tho location or the island. Travelers around the world are acquainted with the fact that time is lost while travel lug east and gained while traveling west, the difference of time In tho transatlantic Journey alone being nltout four hotntj. "I had to run into Chatham Ieland once when disabled, and was amused to soe the way In which the people accepted their fate In regard to the Jumping of time. This lltflo Island Is Just on the Hue of demarca tion between times and dates. In order to keep right with the remain der of the world 1t Is necewsary to skip from nion on Sumlay to noon on Monday every week In the year, hence the Joke that It Is possible to spend a whole day at dinner without eating nn average meal. The Island is so near the antarctic region that days and nights are altogether mixed up from the idea of an ordinary individ ual, but this plan of Jumping tho afternoon of ouo day and the morn ing of the next so as to keep In lino with the almanac Is something so ridiculous that none but a seafaring man can appreciate It or underwtnnj the necessity."

The liveliest divorce centres of tha West have to take second pkice when -oiiipari'd with matrimonial separa tions lu Kgypt, according to the ac count of the American Consul to the land of the Nile. lie tells of an alter cation that took place between one of bis trusted servants and a veiled lady his wife, which squabble resulted In a divorce la less than five minutes. The scene opened with reproaoheii emanating from the woman. "Take care," warned the man. "I put you from me!" Nothing datiuted the vir ago continued until the exasperated man again repeated: "I put you from me." still the torrent of abnse flowed iueewsantly. Worried lx-yond endur ance the servant entered the house aud secured thirty shillings out of his year's salary of 10, and returning tc the woman said: "Here Is your dowry, now for the third and last time I re peat: 'I put you from me.'" At these words the woman went her way, and the astonished American learned that he had witnessed divorce prncw-dlngs; for in Kgypt the assertion. "I put you from me," made three times to a wife by her hunband. constitutes a solemn divorce without alimony, and once the words are said the woman has no right to any further support from the man. A Itemarkable Servant, A young lady, lately and happily married, has a Hterary man for a hus band, who does all of his work al home. It is very good work and pays well. Recently they got a new ser vant, a buxom German girl, who proved herself happy, and also seemed to take a deep interest in the affain tf tho younr; couple. Of course, she saw the husband around the hoitse a good deal; but ber mistress was not prepared for the following: "Ogscuse me, Mru. Blank, but I like to say somcdings." "Well, Rena?" Tho girl blushed, fumbled her apron, stammered and then replied: "Veil, you pay me $10 niont " "And I can't pay you any more," said the mistress, decisively. "It's not dot," responded the girl; "but I be wllllii' to take $15 till till your husband gets work!" It was amusing aud pathetic both, wasn't it? Youkers Statesman. Women Gamblers in Kngland.
