“Licking” a Boy 81 Highness.
During her majesty’s residence at
Osborne, about forty-five years ago.
her children were accustomed" to ram—
ble along the seashore. Now, it so
happened that on one occasion the
young Prince of Wales met a boy who
had been gathering sea shells. The
young prince, presuming upon his high
position, thought himself privileged tc
do what he pleased with impunity, st
without any notice upset the baske’
of shells. The poor lad was very in
dignant and said:
“You do‘that again and I’ll
you.”
“Put the shells into thebasket and-
you will see if I don’t,” said the!
prince.
The shells were returned to the has !
ket. '
“Now, touch them again, if you
lick
IC'TE;
. dare," said the boy. Whereupon the:
prince again upset the basket and
shells. The bOy then pitched into him!
and gave him such a. licking that few
princes ever had. His lip was cut;
open, his nose knocked considerably
out of its perpendicular, and his eyes
were of a color which might have well
become the champion of a prize ring.
His disfigured face could "not long
be concealed from his royal mother.
She inquired the, cause. The prince
was 'silent, but at last confessed the
truth. The poor boy was ordered be
fore the queen. He was asked toteli
thestory. He did so in a very straight-
forward manner. At its conclusion,
turning to her child, the queen said:
“You have been richly served, sir,
Had you not been punished sufficiently
already, I should have punished yorl
myself. When you commit a like of-
fense, I trust you will always receive a
similar punishment.” ‘.
She commanded the parents of the
poor boy to her presence the following '

UNJUSTI SUSPICIONS;
The train from Namur lumbered '
heavily into the station at Melreux and
wakened into momentary life its
sleepy stagnation. About half a doz-
en passengers alighted, among whom i
was a tall, bronzed Englishman. His ,
searching glance warmed into, a smilc'
of pleasure as he strode hastily toward i
a. Belgian gentleman who rushed to
greet him with outstretched arms. l
With a string of questions the Bel-’
gian led the way into the station yard.
where an English dog cart was wait-
ing. y got in and away they
dashed in a. cloud of white dust to.
ward the little village of Durbuy. Af-
ter half an hour's brisk run they rat-
tled noisily through the village and
drew up before a pair of massive
wrought-iron gates. The house~lay at
the farther end of a short avenue of
elms, along which they drove smartly.
As the Belgian alighted a clock
chimed musically. '
“A quarter to twelve,” said be. “You
will just have time to get rid of your
travel stains before lunch.”
“Yes, M. Barvaux, I should like to
make myself rather more presentable
before meeting the ladies," replied his
friend, Jack Hague. In less than ten
minutes he was once more spick and
span, and as he went down-stairs he
found M. Barvaux awaiting him. As,
they entered the morning-room in
which lunch was to be served they
were greeted by a coupleof ladies,
whom M. Barvaux introduced as his
wife and her niece, Mlle. Richert.
The charming manner of his host
soon made Jack perfectly at home. M.
Barvaux spoke English quite fluently,
and was rather proud of his accom-
plishment, but Jack was rather, shy
with his French at 'first, although the
kind way in which the girl helped him
over his difficulties enabled him to get
along smoothly enough. But he found
it much more pleasant to listen than
to talk, and when Mlle. Rlchert began
to speak of herlove for the Ardennes
be instantly became all eyes and ears.
It was quite a jolly little luncheon
party, but amid the pleasantness there
was somethingwhlch Jack could not
understand. “Ever and anon the girl
appeared abstracted and seemed to be
watching M. Barvaux with a look of
deep anxiety, and once when his wife
placed her "arm "round. the" girl’s neck
affectionately Jack thought he per-
ceived an expression of mingled hate
and fear on the face or the Belgian
as he gazed under his heavy eyebrows
at the girl. At first Jack put it down
as,,merely,hls,fancy, but further, ob-
servation. convinced him that there
was something wrong. .
The days sped by all too quickly.
Fishing in theIOurthe, which ran close
by, or long rambles in the ‘woods,
gathering bil-berries. occupied the
hours of daylight, and in the evenings
Jack sat as though under a spell while
Mlle. Richert sang dainty old French
love songs or extemporlzed dreamy
melodies on the piano.
But still the jarring note which had
struck Jack disturbed the pleasant
harmony, and as day followed day his
first suspicions were confirmed and in-
tensified. However, he could discover
no intelligible explanation of the num-
berless trivial incidents which, had not
his attention been roused, would have
entirely escaped him. All he could be
certain about was that his best un-
mistakably manifested a strange an-
tipathy toward liis niece, This how-
ever, did not prevent Jack and the girl
from becoming close friends, and it

and compressing them into a ball, they

the rhubarb. It appears that it isl

we eat spinach. In J span it is in uni-
versal use. Thousands of acres are
devoted to its culture. But in this
case the root is the Object. It requires
deep soil to get the roots to the "best

Barvaux, seizing a suitable opportun-
ity, asked him point blank What Were
his feelings toward the young lady.
He replied with perfect frankness
that he was over head and ears in
love with her.
“Ah, my friend." replied M. Bar-
vaux, “I am very sorry for you. I
should have warned you earlier."
Sinking his voice to a hoarse whisper
he continued, “She is a murderess.”
Jack stared at him in amazement.
Had he suddenly taken leave of his
senses? No, he seemed perfectly ra-
tional, although very agitated. In an ,
exlcited voice he went on to describe .
how the girl was trying to poison him. 1
Jack came to the conclusion that his 1
friend was the victim of a hallucina-
tion and resolved to humor him.
“But she is so devoted to your wife,”
said he. ’
“Yes, and that is why I dare not
speak. My wife thinks Angeline is an
angel. and I am afraid to say any-
thing.”
On the next evening, the. last one of
Jack’s stay, he was sitting in an easy
chair among the window curtains
when suddenly he heard the soft
sweep of a woman’s dress in the room.
He turned and saw a figure in white. -
“Angeline,” was on his lips, and he ,
was about to spring to his feet when '
he saw something which turned him '
to'stone. She was standing at the
sideboard with a thick, green glass
vial, the contents of which she was
pouring into the decanter of wine
specially reserved for M. Barvaux.
His host’s suspicions were, then, cor-
rect. Oh, the horror of it! The girl
he loved a poisoner! He could Scarce- :
ly'believe his senses, but after what
M. Barvaux had told him doubt
seemed no longer possible. The girl
left, the room as quietly as she had,
entered, closing the door as though
afraid of being heard. Jack rushed
to the sideboard. He unstoppered the
decanter. Yes, there was certainly a
strange smell, Which was not that of ,
wine. What should he do—call An-l
geline an accuse her on the spot? .eH ‘
could not. Should he tell his host?

looking rather pale and disturbed,
walked in from the garden, and as
he did so his wife and Angeline en-.
tered the room, and dinner was served.
The girl was dressed in white, and a
couple of glorious red roses gleamed
in her black hair. Never before had
she seemed so beautiful to Jack. He
asked himself if it were possible that
so divine a creature could nurse
thoughts of) murder in her soul. But
he could not forget what he had just
witnessed, and be resolved to be on
his guard and prevent M. Barvaux
drinking the wine.
. Supposing, after all, he were to be
wrong, how cauld he face the girl he
loved after "accusing her of such a
foul and unnatural deed? He was too
agitated to eat, and he observed that
both M. Barvaux and Angeline seemed
also preoccupied and that case. At
length he managed to make his host
understand that he was not to touch
the wine. The Belgian smiled with
an almost sardonic expression and
eyed Angeline curiously. Presently
he raised the decanter and leaned over
the' table, looking at her the while
with his deep set black eyes.
“Allow me, Angeline,” he said, “to
pouryou out a glass of wine.”
“No—no, thank you,” stammered
the girl in an agitated manner.
“Come—I insist. I. will take no re-
fusal,” he cried, springing to his feet
and filling her glass. The’girl turned
pale as death and seemed to lose her
power of self-will. Half mechanically
she took the glass of wine and raised
it to her lips. She emptied it at one
gulp, and then 'sank back in her chair,
where she lay still and White. With
a cry of terror Mme. Barvauxrushed
to her assistance, but her husband
commanded her not to touch the .girlQ
Jack was on his feet in an instant, but-
too bewildered to know how to act.
With a sickening sense of the con-
firmation of his worst suspicions he'
concluded that the girf was poisoned,-
and off he rushed for the doctor. By
gOOd fortune he ran across the very
person he was Seeking. In a few
words he told. him hls'errand and im-
plored him to return with, him in all
haste. ,, _
“It is a matter of life and death,"
he cried. “Let us run.”
“Certainly, if you wish it,” replied
the doctor, “although I may tell you
matters are not so serious as you
imagine.“ .

as you will see. The wine she drank

not?” ‘ ‘ ’ ' ' ‘

times he, is very dangerous, and but
for my treatment it would probably
become necessary to put him under re-
straint. I was just about to pay my
customary visit,to-nlght when you met
me, forI was expecting an outbreak.”
Jack was relieved beyond measure:
on hearing the doctor’s story, but the
thought that he had left the girl he
loved with a man subject to homicidal
mania moderated his feelings of sat-
isfaction, and, anxious to get back to
assure himself of her safety, he tore
away from the doctor, for he felt that,
if an attack suddenly manifested it.
selfin M. Barvanx, Angeline, as being
the person who had raised his sus-
picions, would probably be the first
victim of his made rage.
Indeed". he arrived none to soon.
Mme. Barvaux was crouching in an
agony of terror at the feet of the un-
conscious girl, while her husband was
standing over them gestlculating
wildly. Jack speedily overpowered
him, and a few minutes afterward the
doctor arrived. whose presence had a
wonderfully soothing effect on the un-
fortunate gentleman. Under the doc-
tor’s care Angeline soon recovered.
but both she and Mme. Barvaux were
very much upset and were glad when
Jack decided to stay a few days long-
er. They were days of infinite hap-
piness for both him and Angeline, and
when at length his stay came to its
end the Brussels express bore away
a reluctant but very happy man, to
whose ears the rhythmic rumble of
the wheels seemed to say, “Angeline,
Angeline, Angeline!"
_ A‘Playgrou-nd on :1 Roof. _
The boys of St. Paul’s Cathedral
choir, says Quiver. have a cricket and
football field out of London, where, on
the weekly half holidays they play
,among themselves,’ and with other l
schools and choir schools. For the rest
of the week they possess what is cer-
tainly the strangest playground in
England. The top of the roof of the '
school is enclosed bymeans of strong
beams and wire netting, so that balls
cannot fall upon the unsuspecting pas-
sersby. " Here on the leads, hockey,
stump cricket and the like go briskly
,forward in any of the odd moments
,which they have to themselves.

stalls in the cathedral, would be as-
tonished to find what remarkable light
