McHur, O "It Is useless, your highness, to pro- j test against the things that are." The . baroness smoothed down her laces : with plump little bands upon which ! gleamed innumerable rings. Marie Amalie Constantia Louise "and all the rest of it," as she said to herself, Princess of Doldrums, arose from her low chair with a most unroyal impa tience. Swish, swish, went the silken skirts over the polished floor, and the Baroness von Griefenstein wisely kept silence. Marie Amalie stood at the window and drummed a tattoo upon the pane. Below, the little fountain tossed its laughing waters and the cuirassiers' band poured forth the national air. Marie Amalie was tired of fountains thnt played in the 6unlight, tired of the national hymn, sick to the soul of the duchy of Doldrums and all it contain ed—all because a few short weeks be fore the baroness had taken her young charge with her train to the hunting schloss and then spent a glad, never to be forgotten day. Somehow—nobody knows, for such things have a way of managing thein solvea— the equerries and the princess' maids drifted two by two down the forest alleys in the languorous after noon. The baroness nodded in her chair, and Marie Amalie found herself alone. When Marr Davent rode from the gasthaus that morning he drew long breaths of the forest freshness. For miles beneath the arching lindens of the duke'* forest he rode at a walk, the reins hanging loose on the bay's neck, singing snatches of college glees and thinking of tho farofT country whither he would soon be going. He raised his eyes and looked down the linden reaches—looked and woke, so near that the bay reared in sudden fright. Then Davent slipped from the saddle and stood, hat In hand, as Marie Amnile came toward liim through the green twilight. Bhe did not attempt to excuse herself to herself, and to no one else did Uiat imperious young woman vouchsafe rhyme or reasou for her deeds. It was temptation, pure and simple, at a time when the girl was sore Imblttered against tho toadltlonal shackles. A prisoned thing, bound and dumb in her Jewels and laces, she had known the shame of the old roue's approval when be came to view her, lis one would the points of a prize mare, and pronounced her fit to be Duchess of Grafsland. "Fit!" Marie Amalie ground her white teeth together at the remembrance of it But she smiled with level brows In to the brown eyes of Davent as the handsome bead was bowed before her, and then trouble began for the Baron ess Griefenstein. Two hours later they parted under tho lindens, he l>elleving her some no bleman's daughter in the train of tho young princess; si*; knowing all the facts about him. Marie Amalie came up the linden walk, thinking deeply. An American, it suited iier exuctly. Him thought of the Jumlay PTTTJ TTOTT ftt Hnrro; tnought, too, of the d'xidering old Duke of Grafsland, who had buried his second wife not a year before, tho pale, pretty princess out of the north, who bad been sold to him, as they wero selling her. Marie Aniallo went softly up the marble steps, through the portico and down tho hall, her footsteps making no sound In the thick carpcL Hho drew back the portiere that hung in straight, heavy folds. There was a smothered cry from within, a rusllo of paper, but before the baroness could close tho drawer a white hand closed firtnly upon her wrists. "What are you doing hero among the private papers of Duke Fritz?" The baroness sank down, gasping, speechless, as Marie Amalie towered over her. Then the girl made a hasty examination of tho drawer. Tlie key wu* in the lock. A fragment of wox that adhered to Uie keyhole told the se cret of the baroness' uccess to the pa per* of the young duke who had killed himself In that very room years before, when the Baroness Griefenstein had been a famous court beauty and Marie Amalie but a child in tho cradle. Only a bundle of yellowed letters, written in tho delicate Italian script affected by tho women of that genera tion. Marie held them thoughtfully, then, with sudden Impulse, retled the faded ribbon about them, locked the drawer and placed the key in her bosom. The letters she kept in her band. With a slow smile around tho mischievous red mouth, she pa**ed through the [>ortlero out Into the sun light Hhe held the key to tho situa tion. T!ie ltaroness Griefenstein win u sen sible woman. Hhe knew herself at tho mercy of the girl whom heretofore sho bad ruled relentlessly. Therefore, ! through the weeks that followed she j temporized, telling herself that It was ; only for a time. In a month tho girl would be safely married. There were various expeditions to tho forest, even ing walks, when only the baroness guarded the pretty princess. The young American still lingered at tho gnsthnus and rode his bay through tho duke'* forest. Meanwhile tho women came and went. Intent upon the preparations for the marriage. All around the luxuri ous room were scattered the silks and laces, Jewls strewed tho tables. And in their midst Marie Amalie at tlie window, her tys upon the forest, herd- It!** of It all. A horseman '"d» down the winding road and turned In the suddle for a long look at tho palace. Home day he would ride from her for ever to hi* land of "hearts content over the sea, leaving her to tlm deso late pomp of tho Dtwhes* of Graf* land. Hhe turned to the baroness, and their eye* met 'I he baroness shivered. The crisis that she had been dreading j had come. Marie Amalie leaned down, i hushing her voice to a whisper, "I will 1 do 11 ri'l you must help me." And the I bar I.new that she would keep tluii -viiii!

Only an instant, but as the | door closed behind him Marie Ainalle i | laughed low to herself. : The baroness was on the point of re bellion, when Marie Amalie before her protesting eyes poured a generous dose Into the chocolate and bade her swal low It. "I am afraid. It will mean lmprls- ODment, banishment." "Take It" (the sweet voice was like Bteol); "take it quietly. The letters { shall be yours when I am safe." The ( baroness drained the chocolate with g quivering lips. Davent waiting with a closed car- { riage at the postern gate heard the ( click of the sentry's heels as the bar oness came through the gateway. A j long black cloak came down to her f feet, but the tawny gray hair and the ( password were sufficient for the sen try. ( Without a word they entered the carriage and were driven through the night, past the gates, where the bar oness gave the word, aboard the ex press, by grace of the promptly pro duced passports. When the morning broke they were well away to Havre. The princess had Issued orders that on no account were her maids to en ter her room until summoned. But as the morning wore away and no sound came from beyond the closed doors they braved her anger and entered to find the princess' bed empty, unused, and in a chair by the window the Bar oness Grlefenstein, with an empty chocolate cup at her elbow, lost In a drugged stupor. There was much hurrying to and fro in the duchy of Doldrums, but of their Princess Marie Amalie there was never a trace. The little Lutheran minister blinked and hesitated. But In the state of New York there Is no Alamancha de Gotha, and, although Marie Amalie von Ilalsburg awakened an old sound In his ears of the fatherland, the sus picion seemed too utterly impossible to be entertained for a moment. Bo he went on with the ceremony, and Marie Amalie Davent passed from the shadow of the quaint little church out Into the free sunlight of a land that knoweth neither princess nor princi palities. A Mean Trick. A lawyer defending a promissory i note went to lunch, leaving his books t and citations on the table In the court room. The opposing counsel 'il I back Into the room and changed The ] places of all his bookmarks. In the I afternoon the lawyer, taking up his ! books, referred the court to his author- | itles. His lordship noted every volume ] and page carefully and took the case i under consideration. In rendering his opinion he said: "I was inclined after hearing argu ment of counsel for defendant to uon snlt plaintiff, bnt I find, after referring to the authorities quoted by counsel, none of them bear on this case, and I am led to think that the gentleman has been willfully trying to Insult the court He has referred me to an ac tion of au Irishman who sued the pro prietor of a monkey for damages for biting him, to a ease of arson, ono of burglary, two of petty larceny and three divorce cases, none of which bears on an action to recover on a promissory note. Perhaps the grossest Insult to thu court Is referring to 'Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an ae tlon cl.~rnlai( dfc" '.villi breach of promls'- Tadgment lor pMiimtrr With costs." The lawyer never knew what the matter was and to this dtiy thinks the judge was out of his mind.—-Pearson's Weekly. Tits War Of the World.

' How tho Insubordination ot a Diplo mat Averted Hostilities. An example that can never be ovsr looked when the right of an ambassa dor to exercise bis own discretion Is la question Is that which occurred in tha career of I/jrd Lyons when he was our nmbassador to the United States, lie was a jiersoua grata there. "All I can say, Ixird Lyons, Is, 'Go thou and do likewise,'" was Abraham Lincoln's genial method of receiving tho British amtNissador's announcement of ths Prince of Wales' marriage, Lyon* did not take tho advice, but he remain ed a very effective ambassador In spite of his bachelorhood. When tha grave difficulty over the Mason and Slldcll case arose Lord Lyons wss in structed from home to present au ulti matum, afford twelve hours for its ac ceptance, and, the latter not being forthcoming, he wss to break off rela tions and leave ths country. The i twelfth hour expired. Slldell and Ma l son were not surrendered and thers tfs ma I ned uppsretitly only the dire pros pect of war. "Give me snother twelve t hours," said Seward, the secretary of • state. It entire contradiction i of official orders, but, nevertheless, "I will," said Lyons. From « o'clock that night until rt the next morning Howard bstiled with the recalcitrants. Then Lyons received an Intimation that tba Confederal!) envoys would Ih* given up.
