"The Enchanted Princess. " "Bnmph! Sufficiently idiotlo to be probable; bat why?" "Why, for one thing-, she is so beau tiful and charming-. For another, she Ures In a palace with an orre her fa ther, yon know old "Cent Per Cent Abererombie, the banker. For a third. ahe la snrronnded with pride and dis dain ana Indifference as if thronjrh P11. and those of the bora who tow to rescue and hold the real sweetness -within are speedily discomfited and re- snam in Hopeless captivity." m i The two friends entered the house -nd passed through the long- drawing--:room to where a young- girl was stand ing'. Monica Abererombie could be Tacions, too, for she knew that the obligations of hospitality increase "riih its power, and her greeting1 of 'Winn-, the strang-er, was a marked eon tract to the carelessness which more than sufficed for her devotees. If there was cariosity in her glance, ber eyes were too quick and well trained to be tray it. She felt even before she saw that this tall, stalwart man, swarthy, impassive, composed, waa different in thonght and doing1 from the yrang eters who were so monotonous in their tramming of the one-stringed harp of Adulation. Cyril Cre ighton certainly was ardent; ills hands, Lis eyes, his expression, his being glowed with the subtile fire. As for bis tongue well, if silence be .golden, it had irretrievably adopted a ailver standard. ' ' "Oh! but Miss Abererombie," he waa aying, "you cannot mean it to leave -town just in the height of the season. "Why, the underpinning will be Iknocked from everything, and we shall all be a lot of humpty-dnmpties." "Kismet." Monica replied, "the doe--tor has spoken; the decree, I may say prescription, has . prone forth. Papa 4s ordered south to Palmettaville, and of course I must go with him. A week benee we shall be on our way, so I would advise all the bumpty -damp ties not to get on the wall." . - ( "lint we are there already, you know, protested the chorus of youths. "PalroetUvMe?" continued CyriL "Why. wine, last's where yon are bound for, isn't it? Didat you say jour great Southwest railway had just about reached that polatr. . "Then," began Monica,-with due re gard for the proper thing to say, "then we may nave the pleaaure " -Mot likely," interrupted Winn "What with getting up before day break and plowing' through swamps and falling down precipices all day long I shall have no time philandering-." "Yours la a singular vocation, Mr. Winn," aha aaid, "but I doubt not it's very congenial." Tet ahe felt annoyed because the eborua snickered. . . "Well? asked Cyril, as he and Winn trolled down the avenue to the club. "Well, what do you think of our prln- "A nice girl enoojrh," replied Winn, contemplatively. "Of course, a rose among cabbages does smell the sweet er. She's a mere girl, after all." ' "I am one of the cabbages," retorted Cyril, warmly. "You're a good fellow, all the same." Aid IT luu, H fcUCJ CUWICU .Ul UUQ, "and I wish you luck." When they were cozy and comfort able ia the smoking-room, after a mistaken masculine idea, Craig h ton continued: "Then, old man, if .you run across the A be rc rotables down octh, you'll look out for them for my eke?" "Well, sine you insist But isn't ach a commission very dangerous?" "No, 1 give you a full indemnity policy against any each accident. There's little of the John Alden about you, and as for the princess I cannot picture her as Priaeilla." " : 1 "No tine for philandering. Indeed," murmured Monica Abererombie that ntjrht as she looked into the glaas for -the last time before turning out the light "I hope I may never see his im pudent face again." ' j However, fate ia deaf to the volee of hope; for the following week, on the Southern limited train, with her fa ther dosing1 in the next chair, when ! Monica raised her eyes from her read ing at the shadow from a tall form, she recognised this countenance so dis pleasing. ; "On your way to the plowing and the falling?" Monica asked. "Yes," replied Winn, "and not to the philandering." . '. "Thank heavens, he smokes," mur mured the princess, aa the shadow die appeared. But smoking', like all other food things, requires intervals of ab stinence; for, after an hour, Winn re appeared. "Eere is the latest illus trated magazine," he began, "if yoa 'would like to look at it There are everal alily atoriea." ; "No, thank you," said Moaiea, ;' frigidly; "I have this quarterly." "So I perceived; that Is why I ug fested the change," At this juncture the ogre awoke, and, learning that the youag man waa chief engineer in the construction of the Great Southwestern, proceeded to wallow him after the fashion of auch ogres that is, to assimilate all the Information he could furnish. And Winn sat down beside him suite defer ential and ready to be thus consumed; provokingly ready, so it seemed, for it was provoking to hear him talk so in terestingly on such a stupid subject, and to papa, of all persona "I really think you abould have found my substitute preferable," aaid Winn, as he was leaving', with a glance at the quarterly. "Ao, indeed." replied Monica. "I have been quite absorbed by this article." "A la Cliinoitt Quite an accomplish ment, I'm sore." he murmured, and it was only when he waa too far away for any retaliation that Monica per- r...u-. w ewn spuu. down.

And a very moderate supposition it proved before this removal waa consummated, and the travelers, mire-stained and thicket torn, arrived at the great white cara vansary with rooms enough for an army and accommodations incommen surate to a rear file. Of course, every one waa exnaustea and croaa. except n inn, wno aeemea to be amused. V . . I .. . . sea. .sionica Aoercrombie cer tainly numbered with those who were exhausted and cross. Nor did she re gain her equanimity, despite the fact that some one had obtained for her the choicest rooms, for she quickly learnea tbat her maid bad left behind that particular handbag which con tained auch essential trifles as curling irons and pins and powder. Horrors! What could she do? If there was one spot where a princess should not look like a fright, it waa in the wilderness, where everyone else did. The question was answered by a dis creet rap and a discreeter "It is I," and Mr. Winn banded in the identical eatray. All very well, and it certain ly was thoughtful of him to have tramped back to the cars, aa he must have done; but why, oh, why, did he smile so hatefully, and why did he aay: "1 knew yon would be sure to wantltr What business had he with any such knowledge, and what right bad he to apply it to her? ' Thenceforward, and until Palmetta- : ville waa at length eventually reached, the princess so enwrapped nerself with dignity that even the . ogre waa constrained to recommend sundry pro prietary tonics ia which, he had mountainous faith. ' Winn had disappeared within the adjacent hills and morasses, having first devoutly, but most diseourteousv- ly, thanked his stars for the privilege. and the girl grew so tired of her own company that she missed him, which made her still more dissatisfied. ' Be had been so brusque, so abrupt, so strange, that ahe could not keep from thinking of him. Just aa one flaah of an unfamiliar seen may ding' to the memory.. After a little she came to reflecting now nice ha would be if only he wera entirely different, and then anger succeeded inquietude. One afternoon Monica ; was riding through a wooded land, far distant from the hotel, far distant, for the winding way bad been alluring:, with Its shaded solitude; the festooned verdure sweeping her cheeks had been gracious in its touch, and the twitter of birds and tbe ripple of springs had aeemed voices of indefinite yet friend- j ly co niolation. ' A long, level stretch lay before her, leading to an ascent at the base of which waa a brook. It in vited a dash with a clatter over the rustic bridge and a plunge half way aOL WOT EAMTDKO IX TBI XSTRAT. up the nui. Monica intuitively re sponded with a merry chirrup to her horse, and forward ahe went in that vivacious, ' ' powerful, well-ordered swing which exceed a dreaai of fly ing. Forward and over and up ahe went and then reined in abruptly aa the sounds of aery and a crash reached her. ' The groom had eome to grief. Jn crossing the bridge his horse's hoof had struck through between the rot ten planks; the beast lay. on its side, struggling, bnt unable to rise; the man was picking himself out from the brambles. Neither . Monica nor her servant could relieve the poor animal's case. It seemed neceacary. then, that he ahonkl hold down hia head to save his leg front breaking, and that she should tide away after aaslstaaee. Dimly grasping the groom's rather dim directions to a clearing where woodmen were at work, Monica start- ed on the quest. Ere she had gone a' half mile ahe was disconcerted; ere the distance reached a mile ahe waa bewildered, for a sudden darkness, a heavy, sickish stillness in the air presaged a storm. Now, if there waa one thing, and there were many, of which Monica Abererombie was afraid it waa a thun derstorm. Surely fate had not been' so cruel as to cast her alone in the' midst of one! Evidently fate had been exactly that cruel; for far-away' mutterlngs advanced and coalesced into crushes, and through the interlac ing' lvrb abet vivid vibrant flashes ofl&Kl Th-stout itUe hCfrsee aught lue terfbrsol Its rider and dashed on ward madly, and when Monica at length smnmoc?il su&cient conrajre o check it she realized tha, shjljaf lost her way. Was there no one ho great, grand, splendid one who would come to her aid when so distressed? Hardlv Lw ,--i, .u. i naa ner be art uttered the prayer when B biiT. rouirhlv-clad man. and. oh! relief unutterable, the creature so burly, so uncouth, proved to be James Winn. Waa it possible thst she could be so overjoyed at his easy, impudent presence, hateful smile and all! But Winn's manner became solici tous, his expression grew sympathetic, as he learned Monica' fears and stress. How fortunate." he exclaimed. "that we met! Theeamnia bntafew i w hb ruor groom, in can , whQ. jf m . ..nrn!tiM I . - . . - r I " " " " a viuhiuiva au up, i Mtia kuw v(in )Haaca over, x mam Li I II LI. mia 7 JHotel in our cart, Hot so awfully primitive, you know," continued Winn, "I SHALL BEXO HI TELEeKAM." shrewdly reading the young girl's pali lor and anrinkings, "for do you know. I m ashamed to confess it, but a thun derstorm knocks the heart right out of me, it won't even stick in my throat So on that same primitive hnt I've had the very latest improved lightning rods rigged, and I defy Jove to land a bolt within a mile of it Ah, you aee here we are, and I for one am precious glad, of it" In a jiffy James Winn lifted his com panion off her horse and into the lit tle house; too quickly, indeed, for her to notiee those rods of such scientific potency. In a jiffy he had blinos and shades tightly drawn over the win do, and all the lamps of the estab lishment yielding a tranquillizing light "There." he declared, as one of the men brought in a mighty brewing of tea, "ther, I believe I shan't notiee the storm a bit if you will only talk to me." i "Oh. Mr. Winn," cried Monica, "I can't tell you how much I admire your cowardice. Ah, well! the drive home through the flittering esplanades, transported from fairyland by the western sun shine, was pleasant; but oh, so brief! Surely when he said "ten miles" he had meant ten minutes. Perhaps, after all, it waa a dream,' and her charming, moat reverential companion tbat aame anpercilioua James Winn, interested ia grades and bonds and far too busy for philandering. One day, when Monica was sitting in a favorite retreat formed by a moasy trunk and the overjutting bank by the brook, musing on the disappointments of life and the prevalence of aawdust In oolla, there came a manly tread. and James Winn stood beside her. Yes, there could be no doubt of his identity, for if ever a man smiled hate fully that man was he.. Still, he had been kind to ber, and she must thank him now, since his hasty departure on that evening, so delightfully unreal. bad precluded her. 1 am so glad of this opportunity to acknowledge your kindness, Mr. Winn," began Monica. Oh. aa for that I promised Creigh- ton I'd look out for you on hia ac count" Mr. Crelghton, indeed! How imper tinent of bun to apeak of me. "If a eat may look at a king, I ahould think a lamb might speak of a princess. By the way, I bad a letter from him. asking wuat I thought of his coming here. Now, what do you think?" "My opinion isn't neoessarv; if it were, I should say lambs were safer in tbe fold." "In the dab, yon mean." Well, con tinued Winn, settling himself comfort' ably by the young girl's aide: "I shall send him a telegram, then, stating that tbe risks against which he insured me have all accrued." "1 don't understand you, Mr. Winu." "No? I'm not greatly surprised. Un derstanding ia a masculine attribute, I think." "Budeness certainly is. Oh" "There, there," said Winn, as he kissed her eves, welling with mortifi cation, and her lips, trembling with words she could not apeak, "you mustn't feel badly." . "I hate you," protested the disen chanted princesa; "I think you are con ceited and dictatorial and just horrid; yet oh, 1 love you so! Tell me, how did you ever find oat how to overmaster a poor girl?" I have six sisters, you know," ea plained Winn, apologetically. & Y. Timea PERSONAL Af.'D LITERARY.

The angel of death, in the shadow of whose pinions the autocrat of all the Bus siaa has been lying for many days, to day oeexoued, and the soul of the ma a who had in his hands the lives and destinies of millions upon millions of men was borne away. Calmly and peacefully aa a sleeping oa dc, ne wno, by bis slightest word. could have plunged Europe into a war. the horrors of which would defy description, fell into the dreamless sleep which he feared not AUxtmdtrm He, though the head of the church whose members number over 70,000, 0d$ persona, took his last rites a few days before death claimed him from all his greatness. At 2:15 o'clock . this afternoon the summons came and a few hours later the thunderous booming of cannon at Ldvadia and St Petersburg announced that the czar was dead and that he who had been the Grand Duke Nicholas reigned in his stead. ' l On lightning- wings the news of Bu ala'a loss spread throughout the world, and it ia safe to say that everywhere the intelligence created sympathy for the family of blm who, by his policy, had maintained the peace of Europe. r rom America came words of svm pathy, for the dead ruler had always been a friend of the great republic of the west and Americans have not for gotten how well his father's friendship sustained the north in the war of the rebellion. . Among the peasants of Russia he will be mourned with a deep and abid ing sorrow, for was he not the "Peas ant czar?" None of the grandiloquent titles borne by him were thought as much of aa the one bestowed upon him by his lowly subjects, whose virtues were magnified in him, and whose vices in him were entirely lacking. He who denies the popularity of the ezar among the lowly classes of B na si, is blinded by prejudice.- Hia kind acta to mothers during plagues and famine will never be forgotten, and to night in thousands upon thousands of homes, from Vladivostok, in the Pa cific, to the fortresses of the Caucasus, millions of people, as they kneel be fore their Icons, will pray from the bottom of their hearts for tbe repose of the soul of their "Little Father," who waa to them as great in soul aa he waa in stature. Shortly after 4 o'clock the members of the palace guard were marshaled in the square in front of the palace chapel, for the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the new czar. They took the oath. The grand dukes were the next to swear allegiance, and they were followed in the order of pre cedence by tbe high court function aries, court officials, military officer and civil officials. .
