AURORA. "Captain Dtiplnl"' called Murat, who, In one of tlio most beautiful halls of tlio Prlnco do la Palx's palace, at Jtadrld, was occupied In drawing up some military documents. As no ono answered JIur.it, tho prince, as they called him slnco his re cent ennoblement, raised his head, glanced over tlio group of officers who, a lew paces off from him, wcro awaiting Ills commands; and, not pcrcelylngamongthcui him whom he wanted, repeated with lirllallon: "irell, then, Captain Unpin is not there?" Then, In tho saino way as an article passes from hand to hand when a lino Is formed, tho name of the aldo-do-camp went flying from mouth to mouth, from room to room, through tho vast abode all its, doors being ppen, because of tho temperature which Is so warm In May In Spain was off on Its way to find tho absentee. Uccause Murat did not trlflo with tlio negligent. IIo again applied himself to his writing iu silence, consenting, doubtless, to-waltafow min utes; but tho contraction of his eyebrows Into a wrlnklo on his forehead indicated his bad humor. This happened In 1608, when Xapoleon's envoy, who had easily entered Madrid, thanks to the disturbances In the kingdom, was awaiting the progress of events with tho secret hope of boiug named king of the conquered country, and hardly suspecting that lu tho hands of his master ho was only a pawn loft there, on ono of tlio squares of tho Kuropean chess-board, to keep llie place fcrr-tlio emperor's brother Joseph. Soon was seen running, thanks to tho obliging call of his comrades, tlio culprit, p. charming young man of about twenty cicht much beloved, an excellent soldier, but who, however, for nearly a week had ap peared 1'cs.tlcss, troubled: In a word quite different from what ho usually was. "Wiiero wcro you, then, captain?" said the prince sovorely, on seeing him rome, agitated and slightly out of breath. "In tlio palace, marshal." "That Is not enough. You must bo here, near to me. Nevertheless, I havo boon taking notice of you for somo days. You are entirely changed. Your animation Is gone, you hayo extraordinary distractions. What, then, has happened?" "Nothing, marshal, I assure you." "Indeed. You aro no longer master of yourself." "Kxcuso inc. That Is trim. I haye some anxieties, for family reasons." "And tlicso family reasons live under the palaco roof, It appeals, because people .have met you up yonder, gliding furtively along tho corridors. I do not like myster: les, captain; do you understand?" Tho poor officer blushed and turned pale. Then, alarmed at the increasing severity of tho chief's tone, fearing somo ousplcion moio serious than the truth, decided to tna"ke a confession. "I havo my child, a boy of four years, with me," ho stammered, lowering Ids head. Tho prlnco flow into passion. "A child of that age!- Why not hayo a nurse at onco? A brat of a boy in the midst of war, when at any moment an In surrection may hurst out against the French." "If necessary, I will send him away, murmured tho young man In a sad voice. "ao, keep him since ho Is here. IIo could not he sent back through a counlrj ready for revolt. Let him remain, but on condition that I nover see him, understand ; and, nboyo all on condition that his pres eneo shall not bo tho causo of the slightest breach of your duty. That would ho very pretty I Discipline would go on finely if each ono of us dragged about his progeny through a campaign." Murat, in a state of fury,turned his hack, leaving tlio canlnm greatly uxcltod because he, Maurice Dupln, had not. told all. Not only was ho hiding tho child In tho upper part of tho house, hut the mother, too- poor womap come from Franco' after risk ing a thousand dangers, suffered a tiious and deaths, during a journey In a carriage under a burning sky in an enemy's conn try ; because she had wished at any cost ajain to see and embrace her husband, and lud been unable, to roslst tho mad brained deslro for this reunion. "Think, now, if I wero to die. far from thee!"' alio had said, with tho unceasing cry of a poor creature on tho oyo of a crisis, real or Imaginary, In which sho may bo overwhelmed. Tho young husband did not feol himself stron, ouough to turn her away. IIo had settle. her on .ho third floor of tho palace, tho room was not inlssod, and she had slnco lived In constant flight, duo to Murat. A week rolled by after the explanation. The general spolco no tuoio on any subject Ha continued, how over, to give his onjers in short, sharp styla elgir that his dls satisfaction was not yet dispelled. Hut one fine morning, under the Influence of an unknown good humor.he sudden) took it into his head to ask Ills alde-de-eamii iveii, now nuoiii inei-nuu ' annor in i not "YcsnffdceilnlirsiraTrT will "go and find him If you wish It." In a few minutes after I ho young father brought a lovo of a llttlo soldier In full pa rade uniform. A tiny sword heat against his legs, which wcro enclosed In red mo rocco hoots, with gold spurs, and on his shoulders tlio hussar's pellsso, trimmed with fur In tlio Hungarian style', com. plcted tho rich army costume, of tlio time, ine capiain. ioreseeing mat, sooner or later, by chanco or voluntarily, tho prince might sco the child, had conceived tlio Idea of picscnllng tho llttlo follow In tho uni form most likely lo flatter his superior. Tho llttlo rascal, In fact, had only to ap pear haughty and swaggering prctly enough to eat. under his equipment lo conquer tho rcdonbtablo chieftain. Tho marshal took him astraddlo his knee.callcd him "my jolly dog," and mado glorious promises lo hlin for his future life. "Illien you shall bo grown up I v III at tach von to my personal staff. You shall fight al my side." "Yes, rrlnco Fanfarinet," warmly an swered tlio future, aide-de-camp. Iiul Junarl'fi faco turned dark. "I'rlnco Fanfatlnct?" Might It bo bv chance i sobriquet brought in by this Innocent? "H'hy do you call ino so?" lie asked. "Bccauso In the fairy stories Prlnco Fan larincnt is mo naniisomest of an, anil you rfisctnblo him." "ITalhal Then I am greatly flattered And you, how do thoy call you?" "Aurora." -ino i-nnccss Auroral" Tiiat is also a namo from tho fairy stories. A llttlo boy is not called by that name." "But I am not a llttlo boy; I am a little girl, disguised. Ask mamma." Then, dcsplto tho father's despalilng signs and to Murat's groat delight and amusement, tho llttlo girl, with all the frollcsomencss and ingenuousness of her ago, went on to relate that -sho had como from l'arls In a big carriage; that they had encountered bears In tho Pyrenees, and also tho Spanish queen, who was making her escape, and furthermore, that they had been greatly frlghtoncd m an Inn, where tho Innkeeper was killing hogs, because she and her mamma had bolloycd that the wcro assassinating mcil; and now they wcro Hying up stairs in beautiful rooms, with silk draperies, gilt everywhere, but very villainous pictures; that among the things there that she liked was a large mirror In which sho could see herself all oyer, aud also somo playthings which wcro doubtless abandoned hy tho royal children in their flight. "Captain," said Murat, charmed with this delightful chatter, "it only remains for you to present mo lo Mine.

Tho patty of gcntloinen were Interested, but Incredulous, and arranged to accompany Col. Ogeochco homo the next afternoon to test the wonderful echo. The colonel found, on getting home, that In tlio heat of the discussion ho had claimed more than tlie facts justified. Determined not to bo beaten, ho called his Irish la borer.

A man was ono day making a trip on a "mixed train" on a Dakota road, says the Texas Slfllngii, Passage on these trains is never taken except for journeys of con siderable length; walking is as easy and much faster for short distances. On this occasion the movement was oven moro deliberate than usual, .and tho passenger called the conductor to his scat and said: "Isn't this motion pretty slow?" "Well, wo ain't flying, I'll admit that." "Sure everything Is all right?" "I think so." "Wheels all greased?" "Yes, I greased them myself." "Tiros all on?" "Yes. Wo run through tho crock back hero and soaked up the wheels so they would slay." "Any spokes loose?" "No." "You aro certain tho wheels aro all oh tho rails?" Thoy was whonl como in." "Couldn't be possible that any of them aro off tho axlo dragging, could it?" "I guess nor." "Aro wo goingup hill?" "No, this is pretty mlddlln' lovcl." "Do you always run at this gait?" "No, wo generally hump along a llttlo fastcr'n this." "May I ask what Is tho trouble, thon?" "Certainly. We found a two-year-old steer stuck lu a trcstlo back hero before you got on, and stopped and helped it out. You know tho rules of the road aro that in sucli cases tho animal belongs to tho com pany." 'But 1 don't seo why that should mako you run so thundering slow." "Why, you blamo fool, we'ro takiu' that steer along to headquarters; got It tied on behind, and It ain't used to lcadln and don't walk up very well.
