Stories of rivaL iu love beinir tofffth er on the trapeze are common enough. out me ioiiowmg true: We had been partners, Jim ami I, for just ten years in the flying traiieze line of liusinedd. We were called the Brothers Darealli, ami without Utttst mg ( 'gassing' we called it in the pro fession) we deserved the name, for there was no feat, however risky, hut what we would undertake and excel it. W e were devoted to our work and to each other. Jim was twenty-seven and I wan twenty-nine; we had ftart ed Ufore either of us was twenly. We were both single and had nothing to worry about, so we were as happy as it is tKMsible for two young fellows to lie Our attachment was so noticeable that our associates called us the t'orsicnn Brothers' and other classical names. wmeiiiuo inn recollect, And, I re peat, we were as happy as possible until a woman came between us.

I fill a victim to her wiles first, and if ever a niau was an abject slave to a woman I wa. If I were clever with my icu ier!i!ips I might express myself more poetically, but in plain prose I was 'fool and tool.' I've heard of serpents fascinating their victims with a glance. If ever there was a human serpent, that rej- tne was Flora IX-nbigh. If ever there was a poor creature absolutely enchant ed, that victim claims to be the writer of this narrative. I had never leen in love berore, so was as clay in the hands of the potter. It came about in this way. One evemng after the performance a telegram was handed to Jim I noticed Tie looked agitated and asked the rea son. "My mother I" he faltered. 'She is dangerously ill, Jack she is asking for me I must go t her.' 'Why, of course you must,' said I. "But how about the engagement? Old Morritz won't let us break it with out paying forfeit,' and that'll be hard on you, Jack." "Not an hard as you lieing prevented from seeing your mother,' I rejoined. 'It won't won't ruin U9, Jim; besides, jH-rhaps he'll let me do a single turn till you get back.' Xo, no, Jack,' he exclaimed, you have not been used f it of late ; you've which was true enough, the 'bearer' leing the one who catches the other as he d.es the flying leaps, etc. Ktill I was confident in my own powers, and told Jim so. Well, it was arranged at last that I should do a ground show ; that is, on the platform only, with a whispered suggestion from old Morritz that I could doa 'haerial hact,' as he called it, when Jim was gone. I nodded assent anything a!oiit it, and she, to all ap pearand, reciprocated Jim's feelings. At last I got wrought up to a pitch of uets)eratioii and resolved to put an end to the matter, "Will you be my wife or not, Ho?" I asked her one night when we hap pened to le alone. Mie still temporised and I fully be lieved now that she enjoyed torturing me, "Well, Jack, I likeyoq well enough," she answered, "but I cannot say I love you yet. Besides, there are" "Others," I interrupted. "Oh, yea, I know you have a dozen of admirers as well as me, and one of the principal ones of them is Is " 'Jim?" she suggested promptly "You may as well say, it as think it. Of course he likes me and I like him But," she added coaxiugly, "I like you too, Jack ; still you must wait." And suppose you had never seen Jim," I suggested. "Oh, g.MMlness knows !" she tittered. Perhaps I should have accepted vou before this time. But there goes eight o'clock ; you'll lie late for your turn, as you call it, if you don't hurry." I turned and wa.ked slowly away. having plenty of time before me and no inclination to work. The way to the circus, which was a canvas one in an open space ou the outskirts of the town, was through a shady lane. As I rambled moodily along I noticed as I neared a liend a man who drew le hind a clump of bushes as I passed. One glance was sufficient. It was Jim ! In a flx-.h it came to me that he was there to meet Flo. Restraining my pfts-ian, with grim determination, I passed on, then crept through small a gap in the hedge and stealthily re turned o the sjmiI to listen to the forth coming interview. In a few minutes she came tripping along; the next minute she was in his arms, while he showered kisses on her upturned face. The sight maddened me and only by tremendous efforts did I restrain my self from rushing upon them. At last she said, as she released herself: "There, that'll do, Jim; I want to tell you something." Then, in her pretty. artless fashion she related our last con versation. Jim listened to the end, and then said very gravely : "Poor old Jack; I'm truly sorry to hear this. I wish I'd known it be fore." That wouldn't have prevented you falling in love with me, though, Jim," she reasoned. "Xo," he retorted, still more gravely, "Perhaps not, but it would have pre vented me conforming it. tiixal heav- euLi. wliat..willJae.V-.lhlriif llu "Don't be a baby," she cried, "you haven't stolen his sweetheart. I like old Jack very much no one could help that but I don't love him, Jim like I do well, some tuie who is not a hun dred miles away." It wasdusk, so it was impossible to see her face, but I could well imagine how she looked at him as she said this. I'm sure no man on earth could have resisted the temptation, and Jim didn't I had to do was to let him fall, and all would lie over. No one could blame nie, and no p-rson but Flora could pos sibly suspect anything. I instinctive ly liKikcd at her; it was evident that she could see that we were in trouble J ler eyes were of a horror too terrible for me to describe. Home demon seem ed o whisper: "Let go, you fool; now is your chance. Let go ; you can soon get another partner." That word restored all my manhood like an electric shock. The reaction was almost unbearable, but I with stood it. With a silent prayer, I braced myself up for a last effort to save him or die with him. It was now that the result o." having recently worked the aerial act singly came to my aid. It bad made me as supple and strong as a tiger. Kxerting all my jkiwits in a final super-human effort, I drew Jim up until I clasped him around the waist with my left arm, then raised myself ami burden to the liar, grosjK-d it with my disengaged hand, got astride ami dragged J im up lesiile me. When it is borne in mind that I had I -ecu all this time susjiended by my feet, the ex traordinary exertion ropiired to ix r- form this act may lie imagined. It is certain none but a trained athlete could have done it, and exactly how I did it myself I never could tell ; but by heaven's help I did do it, and we were comparatively .-nfe. By this time the audience had s-ciit- ed danger, and were awe-struck. Our fellow erforiiiers were the same and a stupendous silcnc reigned in the vast tent. After a brief rest I regained my sjksm-Ii, ami called out hoarsely : "The rope! the rope!" This aroused the professionals from their stupor, and the climbing roe by which we ascend and descend to ami from the traM-e was brought withiu my cluich. More d'.-ad than alive, I slid down it with Jim still in my arm. I was told afterward that I cried like a child when I recovered from the swoon into which I ha I fallen, and learned that my partner had, by the aid of a doctor, who chanced to lie present, also reg lined his. senses I p ill ed myself around siitTicieutly to go ou with old Morritz, and bow my acknowl edgement to the deafening applause with which I was greeted. It was a terrible experience, and I have never lieeii on the trapeze since, and neither has Jim. We set up in business as matters ot gymnastic ap paratus, and are doing fairly well, and remain U-tter friends than ever. Jittffti Traced r. RKMIXISCEXCES.

The next morning I was roundly berating myself for the evil thought but Instinct was right and affection wrong in this case, We renewed our performance, and I noticed that Flora was at the circus more ofleu thati when I was doing my single turn. It was then that Jealousy got hold of me, and I began to enter taiu a feeling of distrust for my part ner and fr-eud. Of course I watched him closely, and It soon became plain that he was as much in love with Flora as I was.

My blood boil- d, I felt sick and giddy, half mad witn j jealousy, and a desire for revenge. We had now reached one or our final acts. I was hanging from the bar by my feet ; Jim was at the other trapeae preparing for a flying leap into my hands, whence he was to take a couple of somersaults into the net be neath us. He gave the signal ana tlie next instant was shooting toward me like an arrow. We gripped ana iook the usual swing to and f ro ; as I pre pared to let go I felt his clasp on my wrists tighten spasmodically. I knew that something was wrong. I looked down ; his eyes met mine without a sign of intelligence ; they were rolling horribly, filmy and blood uliot his features were purple, and looked swoolen, whilo his form was stiffened like that of a corpse. Then the awful truth ctnie to me with a shock; he was in a fit of some kind. I was so startled that I nearly let go my hold, he swayed to ami fro more slowly, and stopped dead ; the perspi ration rolled from my own on his up turned face. The tension of my mus cles was becoming unbearable. I tried to call for help, but no sound escaped mv parched throt It was evident to the onlookers, professionals and all, who thought we were about to perform some new and sUrtling feat If I was mad with jealousy before, I was crazy now with horror. What could I do?

(ireek faith, was an interesting cere mony. It took plaev at Sofia on Fcc ruary 14. Prince Ferdinand took his stand upon the dais U fore the throne. The Ministers left their places, and went to the church d.air, whence they returned escorting Prince Iloris, Urne in the arms of his governante, who af ter divesting him f hi broad white hat and plisse, placed him on the throne seat nearest the altar, where be sat in ierfcct coniosiire, wearing liaii-a-dozen orders over his white frock. The Bishops had previously moved back to the altar screen. An Arch bishop, accompanied by four Bishops, came from the west end of the church, lieuring aloft the casket containing the chrism, which he carried to the altar. Then the F.xareh t-aiue and confront ed the little Prinve, who maintained his self-iMissessiou while his iniH-rial in the per 11 of ( Jeneral Cutuzotr, stepped on the dias nnd answered 'the long series of quest ions prescrilicd by the ritual, which were put to him by the F.xarch.

There was a deep snow on the ground, ami as the sun la-gaii to shine brighter and warmer, little tiny streams began to run down the moun tain sides towards the river; but this was not unusual, and no one thought strange of it. The young people of the iicighl-orhood gathered there 'her beauty and her chivalry" and amid the mazes of the giddy daii'V, that night, little heed was paid to the downpour of the rain. When morn ing dawned, the river had a sullen, for bidding, defiant look; its yellow wa ters were rushing with silent velocity along, carrying great logs and trees in its muddy current, with resUtless pw er.

As fctated, they "breasted" the current of the stream, that is, they went against the current, while at the same time, the boat was getting furth er from the shore. They got half-way across in safety, three-fourths of the way, and the anxious friends they had left behind, hoped they would get all the way across. Suddenly, so terrifll was the strain on the rowers, one U- gan to falter and give out The Uat stopped an instant, there was an ef fort made bv the steersman to take the place of the tired rower, the boat roek ed, was caujiht iu au eddy, and in au instant was overturned, and the five men were battling, each for himself, in the mad rush of waters.
