“Licking” a. Royal Highness.
During her majesty’s residence at
Osborne, about forty—five years ago,
her children were accustomed to ram:
ble'n'along the seashore. Now, it so
happened that onene 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 to
do: what he pleased with impunity, '31:
without any notice upset the basket:
of shells. The poor lad was very in
dignant and said:
“Eon do that again and I’ll
you.”
“Put the shells into the basket and,
you will see if I don’ t,” said the.
prince. . I
The shells were returned to the has
ket.
“New, touch them again, if you
dare,” said the boy. Whereupon the
prince again upset the basket and
shells. The boy then pitched into him I
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. l
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 to tel'
the story. 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 yet
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 presenée the following
morning. They came, and the result
of the interview was that her majesty!
told them that she had made arrange i
ments for educating and providing for
their son, and she hoped he woulc'.
make good use of tlie advantages
which would be placed within his
reach.———Manchester, Eng, Guardian. i

Burdock as a Vegetable.

to see anything more to be despised;
in the burdock leaf than in the leaf of
the rhubarb. It appears that it is;

when young, are boiled and eaten, as
we eat spinach. In Japan it is in uni

deep soil to get th- roots to the best

Mexican gypsles can foretell the

trade on the knowledge, but how do
you suppose they often get it? Why,
simply by watching spiders, which
generally alter their webs every twen
ty-four hours. In summer the boys
and girls will find it interesting -to
watch the little arachnida. If you see
them at work bright and early in the
morning, be sure of a clear day; and
if they make the terminating filaments
of their webs unusually long expect
fine weather for at least a week. If
they are very busy between six and
seven o’clock in the evening, look for
a lovely night, or if they spin away

UNJUST. sUSPICloNS.
The train from Namur lumbered
heavily into the station at Melreux and
wakened into momentary life its
sleepyrs'tagnation. About half a doz-i
en' passengers alighted, among whom
was a tall, bronzed'Englishman. His ;
searching glance~warmed into a smile
0f Pleasure as he strode hastily toward
a Belgian gentleman who rushed to
greet. him with outstretched arms.
With a string of questions the Bel--
' gian led the way into the station yard.
where an English dog cart was wait-
lug. They 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
1ew 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 he. “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 couple of ladies,
whom M. Barvaux introduced as his
wife and her niece, Mlle. Richert.
The charming manner of his best
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 width the girl helped him
over his difficult its 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 her love for the Ardennes
be instantly became-all eyes and ears.
_ It was quite a‘ jolly little luncheon
party, but amid the pleasantness there
was something Which Jack could not
understand. Ever and anon the girl
appeared abstracted. and seemed. to be
watching MI. Barvaux With a look of
deep anxiety, and once when his wife
placed her arm round the girl’s neck
'afiectlonately Jack
ceived an expression of mingled hate
and fear on the face of the Belgian
as he gazed under- his heavy eyebrows
at the' girl. At first Jack put it down
as merely his fancy, but further ob—
servation convinced him that there
was something wrong. '
The days sped by all too quickly.
Fishing in the Ourthe, which ran close
by, or long rambles in the woods,
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 extemporized 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 discov'er
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 host un-
mistakably manifested a strange an-
tipath'y toward liis niece. This how-
ever, dld not prevent Jack and the girl
from becoming close friends, and it
seemed. at least to M. Barvaux, that
their friendship was rapidly ripening
into a much stronger feeling. [Jack
felt that his best was displeased at
the turn of adairs, and he was there-
fore not very much surprised when M.
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
exicited voice he went on to describe
how the girl was trying to poison him.
Jack came to the conclusion that his ~
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's'tone. 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 gill
he loved a poisouer! He could scarce-
ly believe his sens-es, 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 ,

geline an accuse her on the spot? B 1

ll...
thought be per- '
‘ looking rather pale and disturbed,
walked in‘ from the garden, and as
he did sohis wife and Angeline en-
3 tered the room, and dinner was served.
1 The girl was dlessed 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 lt 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 he resolved to be on
his guard and prevent M. Barvaux
drinking the wine.
Supposing, after all, he were to be
wrong, how could 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 ill at ease. At
length he managed to make his best
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, locking at her'the while
with his deep set black eyes.
“Allow me, Angeline,” he'said,
pour you out a glass of wine.”
“No—no, thank you,” 'sltammered
the girl in an agitated manner.
“00me 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. Barvaux rushed
to her assistance,
commanded her not to touch the girl.
Jack was on his feet in an instant, but
too bewildered 'to know-how to act.

concluded that the girl was 'poisOned,
and off be rushed for the doctor By
good fortune he ran across the very
person he was seeking. In a few
words he told him his 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." ,
“But———" . , - ~
“Permit me to explain, monsieur.
The young lady is not poisoned at all,
as you will See .The wine she drank
was intended for M. VBarvau‘x, was it
not?” -
"Yes, I believe so. ”
“Well, you must know that he is
subject to periodical fits of homicidal
madness, and when these attacks are
coming on it becomes necessary to ad-
minister powerful opiates to him with-
out his knowledge. The paroxysm
passed, he is once more the calm and
cultured gentleman you know, but at
times be 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
custor’nary‘vlslt tonight when you met
me, for I 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 fromthe doctor, for he felt that,
self in M. Barvanx, Angeline, as being
picions, would probably be the' first
victim of his made rage.
'Indeed. he arrived none to soon.
Mme. Barvaux was crouching in an
conscious girl, while her husband was
standing over them gesticulating
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-
when at length his stay came to its
ja reluctant but very happy man, to
.whose ears the rhythmic rumble of
the wheels seemed to say, “Angeline,

A Playground on 11 Roof.
The boys of St. Paul’s Cathedral
choir, says Quiver, have a cricket and
i football field out of London, where, on
the weekly half holidays they play
’among themselves, and with other
- schools and choir schools. For the rest
i of the week they possess what is cer- ;
ltainly the strangest playground in
', England. The top of the roof of the
school is enclosed by means of_strong
;beams and wire netting, so that balls
4 cannot fall upon the unsuspecting pas-
?sersby. Here on the leads, hockey.
stump cricket and the like go briskly
iforward in any of the odd moments.
lwhich they have to themselves. In
winter a thin sheet of water, which
quickly freezes, converts the roof into
a skating pond, whereon the most anx~
lone parent could trust her son with-
out fear of his “falling through.”
.Those who know choir boys only with
lthose solemn faces which they inva-
iriably assume when seated in their
stalls in the cathedral, would be as-
tonished to find what remarkable light-
hearted youngsters they are when
skipping about on this roof of theirs,
despite the smuts and an occasional ‘
whit of smoke from a neighboring
clfimney. ,
