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

WHY THE TRAIN BAN SLOW.
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
