A Famous Game of Chess.
turday Night
• lit Philip llt. was playing chess,
sentea\on a throne :if earved ebony,
in a noolificent saloon of. his palace
—the Escurial. Roy Lopez, a priest,
Who, ill - me:J . l as yet obscure in the
church, Was noted as an expert in
this game, served as She, .partner of
his nakiesty.
By special favor of tI king, the
great chess-player knelt on a velvet
cushion, A hile the nobles a'f the court
, :tood upright around their sovereign
in grave and respectful attitudes.
Th e morning was a brilliant one;
the air was perfumed with the breath
which exlialol from the orange grows
_ .
of rt.nada, and the fiery rays-of the
Sout!:ern sun, shining upon the paint
ed windows of 'the royal apartment,
were softened by heavy curtains of
violet velvet.•
All this warmth and brightness,
however,Qeemed out of ha,rmony with
the occasion ; for it was evident that
sonic sombre event weighed heavily
neon the minds of all the courtiers,
anil their gravity sefinefl a reflection
from the visage of the king, whose
brow was darkly shaflowed' and his
lips compressed, while from beneath
his frowning eyebrows he threw fre
quent glances toward the entrance of
the :-aloon.
SHELVES
No one paid much attention to the
Tame, unless it was Huy Lopez, who
was, -- hesitatinir„ in serious delibera
tion, between an unavoidable check
mate and the deference dire to his
vcry Catholic Majesty'Philip 11, lord
of Spain and its dependencies.,
All at once the door was opened;
and a strange, sinister-looking figure
appeared. It was Fernando Calavar,
the executioner of Spain, who entered
ar.d stood respectfully awaiting the
King's permission to speak.
A. movement, partly, of disdain,
partly of d read, passed over the noble
assembla ,, e, as the king looked at the
executioner and commanded him to.
approach.
Is lie dead?" demanded Philip,
imperiously.
No, dire," anSriered Calavar, with
a low boy.
The king contracted his. brows. -
" The condemned," continued the
executioner, -" a grandee of Spain,
has claimed the last privileges of his
order, and 1 could not proceed in the
ease of one so noble without the spe
cial command of your majesty,"
And again he bowed to his knees.
A-murmur of approval passed from
lip to lip among the courtiers, who
had listened attentively to his speech.
The•proud blood of Castile boiled in
their veins and colored in their faces.
The feeling became general, and the
young Alonzo of Ossuna •gate ex
pression to it by covering his head
with his hat of ceremOuy.
llis example was followed by the
majority .of the nobles, and . their
haughty white plumes, waving over.
the' stern brows and flasbing eyes,
announced that ;they protested in
favor..of their rights as grandees of
Spain ; for such, was the Meaning
conveyed, when ithey assumed the
privilege of appkring covered be
fore their sovereign.
The king made, a movement of
concentrated, wrath, and struck the
Aess-table with his clenchedlist; no
violently. as to completely destroy
th'e arrangement of the game.
He has been judged by our royal.

Iv.
Sire, - Taltered the:royal almoner.
there is a convention or prelates at
Valladolid all the bi'shops are there.
The Bishop of Niadrid departed yes
terday."
At these words, an expression of
joy came into the face of Alonzo
"d'Ossuna. The younv, noble was a
kinstnali of the condemned Cavalar,
and had ever been onc` a his most
devoted friends.
The .king perceived IyOssuna's
smile. and his race took on a new
expression. He stipected 'some plot
to out wit him, and. with a calmness
.like that which precedes a storm, he
said :
We are king, and we do not
choo - se that.onr royal mandate should
be the subject of derision._ Don
Nii
vas, for this occasion we will not wait
for the decision of the Pope ; our
holy father is a Hide in our debt.and

approval - for .granted. NaY, since
the i ngof Spain .Lan create a prince,
he may, in an tilim•gen: y, make a
bishop. Rize, thci, 1)on Ruy Lopez;
I create you Bisliop of Segovia !"
The surprise was complete. The
nobles exchanged looki of discom
fiture them-elves; and Ruy
Lopez remained tjll kneeling, strick
en' dumb With amazement._ _ •
" !fist-, priest-4 sonar and it!"
the king repeated, with authority.-
"'Take your rank in the church !"
Lopez rose.ineehrically, and be

man ft
pr : .
" r it please your majesty—"
".cilenec, lord bishop!" exclaimed
the king "Obey the word of your
sovereign. . The formalities of your
instillation shall be postponed to
another day. We have already.made
known our will i'n4his matter. Hon.
Gunman. `Prince of Calatrava • and
Duke of Medina, dies to-day !"
A profound silence followed the se
determined words, until the • king
spoke again
-" Bishop of Segovia, go to the cell
of the condemned and bestow upon

Then, turning to the executioner,
he added : .
" Calavar, we will await you here,
until yon bring to us the head of the
traitor Calatrava !" • •
The monarch took his seal-ring
from.his finger, and gave it to Huy
Lopez, saying :
" Take this, lord bishop, that the
condemned mall may have no reason
to doubt you when you state your
office to him." .
lie cost a majestic glanee.over the
quilled; and silent assemblage, and
said:
" WeP,,my lords, dare you still to
doubt the justice of your king ?"
N,o . one responded.
Don 'Ruy Lopez, the newly-created
bishop, followed the.executioner, and,
as be left the royal presence, he was
heard to mutter:
"It is a fine thing for a simple
priest to become Bishop of Segovia
in a moment• but ah heavens! at
what a price!, The death of Calatraval
Alas; alas ! the very best chuss-player
in the kingdom !"
In the cell of the condemned, gloo
and Silence reigned, instead , of the
summer brightness which filled the
outer world. The stately and noble
figure of Dou'Unsman de,Calatrava
seethed an image of heroic resolution,
as be paced back and forth across
his narrow cell, each time he turned
glancing toward the dour, as if with

touched the (Lillie's arm ~ and pro
nounced one word—only one, but it
was a word of doom. He said
" Come!"
The prisoner started like one who
has trodden on a sei pent. -
" Leave me - to 'finish my game !'•
he said, imperiously.
" Impossible! The time is up; my
lord." returned t h e:executioner:
" But,, you idiot, I have won! .
am about - to cheekinate the bisholi,
do,you see ? Let me alone!'
Impossible !•' repeattA the amaz
ed executioner.
" Are the three-hours past, then ?"
My lord, the last stroke of the
last how his sounded. We come to
do the bidding of the king.' •
The executior.er's assistants came
for .card at these winds.
Don Gusthan started pp with a
threatening aspect, shielding his
chessmen with his hand, that they
inight not be disarranged.
"I must finish this game ! ". he
thundered. " It, will take but, Walt'
au hour, and then you can have my
head. You must wait I" •
The executioner and his assistants
regarded each other with astonish
uncut, and Calavar cried out: .
" My lord, it would cost, me my
My 'orders are imperative. Par
don, noble duke, but if you do not,
yield, we shall be compelled to em
ploy force. :peek to the duke, lord,
bishop, I entreat you. Persuade him
to submit- to his destiny."
The response of Huy Lopez was
prompt and' decisive. He snatched
up the headsman's axe, and, whirling
it around his head, shouted :
" liy heavens, the duke shall finish
his game!"
Frightened by the movement which
accompanied these words—as indeed ,
an executioner might well be startled
to see the terrible instrument, of his
profession thus turned' as a weapon
against him—Calabar recoiled, and
felt hack among his acolytes. They
all drew their swords, and a Combat
in the cell or the condemaed seemed
impendihg.
Ruy Lopez; who seemed to have
suddenly become a veritable Hercii
les; dragged forward the heavy oak
tableOwlich was - the only article of
furnitbre the cell contained, and es
tablished himself in A position of
defense behind. it.
•' The first man who dares to come
within reach of this axe -is dead!"
he exclaimed, in a determined accent.
" Courage, noble duke ! To work,
and finish the game ! There are only
five of these fellows! The last com•
nand of your lordship shall be obey
ed, if it costs them all their lives.",
After a moment of irresolution,
the executioner exclaimed, indig
nantly:
" 1 will go to the king !"
" Go where you'please," said the
bishop.
Calavar knew not what to do. He
dared ,not present himself again to,
the angry monarOh without tlie head
of Calatrava, for. which he• waited ;
but on the otherl hand it was a peri
lous- thing to attack this vi g orous
priest and the prisoner, who was .
equally ready for a combat.
The executioner considered and
finally decided upon a course which
seemed to him the wisest. Glancing
at the duke, he demanded :
" Will you promise to , finish in
half an hour, my lord ?"
" I proinise," replied the duke.
" Go on, then." .
And; the truce being thus conclud
ed; the players resumed,their places

for although it has -four times as .

the earth ; - 343 is equal to the cube

the. same density as PM earth. It
would take seven times as many

When We turn to the sun we reach
far higher figures; Following the
swim rule, as,the Mass of - the sun,is
3 te ; 010 times than that of the earth;
its age will be seventy times as great;
and we, find that it would take
000,000,000 yeari
.for the. sun - to
reach the earth's present state.
• Considering 'the smaller orbs; as
the. Moon, we find that the past period
is comparatively brief, but .that the
earth will reach the same - condition
far in the remote future. The moon
in mass. is 81 less than the earth; and
,its siirthee is as 1 to 13. . liy divid
ing by 13 we find how many times
the :comparative age of the moon is
less. than the :earth's- This gives
83,000,000 years as the time it took
