"I didn't know you were a singer, Mr. Grant." HottoT turned sharply. Ho i^aieed his hat to the speoier, a thin little Ifuly who might be any age from forty to sixty. Hhe was attired in a plain black costiune, somewhat the worse for time, but carefully briuilicd and neatly kept, as if the wearer had not too many dfeRSOB. On her greying hair sat dowdily the inevitable straw hat of working .British spinstcrhood, and In hor hand .she held an ostentatiously Kwrviceablo uinbrelln. Her face was pale; her mouth a little hard yet a little wistful; her nose not unpleas- antly sharp, and her eyes were of a curious soft hurj^ry l>lue. "You, MisB KiHjre ?"

The little woman paused for a Diomont almoat out of breath, while Hector wondered at hor vehemence. ".\ih I well !" she sighed, "here I've been ranting like a democratic Fedorationist.

Bosides, I've got something fai' more congenial in prospect." "Congratftilations ! You'll tell me, won't you ? You're big enough for a couple of jiajiigraphs." Hector was moved hy an impulse of pity for this old maid, slaving day and night for a sore-wrung pit- tance. He woiiUI let her into the secret, and she could maJte it known wRien the time came. Some of the evening papers, ever on the • htint for "scoops," would give her a .small fortune for tlie news. "Yoe," he said, "I'll tell you, you mastn't use it unfil I give you the word."

"If you will honor mo at lunch- eon. Miss Frere," he said, "I'll give you the story." ".I'll pay my own share, then," .s-ho said sharply. Even if she was poor, she was not going to be pa- tronised. "As you will," Hector answered laughingly. "But if you insist on Ib.-it, I K'hiill not speak." She gave in. Tjunclieon was over, and the story was lini'-hed as the cofToe co^ic. Miss Frore leaned forward with spar- kling eyes and whisiicred, "I should like to meet .your Queen." ".\nd so you shall," laughed Hec- tor. "And so .\ou sliali, Vou shall interview her, if you like, but .you nMist not jaibli.'-h it until the glor- ious end. Then you can make a little fortune." "Mr. (Jrant, how can I thank you, how ?"

Hector paid the bill, sent a word of coiujilimcnt to the proprietor on the excellence of the luncheon, and bade good-bye to Miss Frere. whom he li.'ft to I'lnish hor coffee at leisure.

Very seldom in his iiitoresting ca- reer lias the Kaiser been placed so /nuch at the mercy of tiie doctor.s as during the past few weeks, and there is e\ery reason to believe that tho state of affairs which so unfor- tunately happened is intensely dis- ogreeable to His Majesty in particu- lar. Ho, like the late Queen Vic- toria, has a considerable belief in his own powers of staving olT illness through sheer force of will, and wJien these methods have failed is Inclined to receive tho medical men with somewhat bad grace. Y'et ono of these physicians do- scribes him as being a "good and even enthusiastiic patient"; that is to say, when once he sees there is notiiing for it but a thorough course of treatment and a calm submission to whatever is ordored, he carries out instructions to the snjallest de- tail and with the most scrupulous regard for being tliorough. But he is .so inifuisitivTO, one of hLs doctors said some timo ago, that he is at times somewhat embarrassing. His Majesty cross-examines evorjbody in ttttondaace on the intricacies of his ailment, and winds up be fending for a book about it, wJiich he studies with the utmost cai-e. The next time the doctors come he, with a smile, often suggests an alternative treatment, ''as in tlie case of So- and-so, with whicJi, of course, you ai'e familiar, doctor." If the Kais- er fin'ds himself laid up for a day or two the first tiling which OCCUPIES HIS ATl^EKTION. after his treatment is settled, is the rearrangement of his plans of work ajid the division of his time, so that as Idttlc of it as passable shall b« wasted. Of course, hitherto the ailments which have afflicted him have been comparatively trifling. The liaStior and King E-dward ar« undoubtedly the two best patients, ti'oni tl:e doctors' poitrt of view, amongst the monarclis of -Europe. The latter, -whose brave bearing dur- ing his severe illness eighteen monlJn ago will for ever be remembered, al- ways persists in regarding an,y in- disj>osiUon from which he is suffer- ing as of tho most trifling character possible. When completely- in the doctors' hands ho encourages them in every way to treat his case with that same lack of hesitation which they would display if he were not King, but meiely a subject, carries out all their orders to letter, and, desiring to take pleasant a view as he can of circumstances, insists on having only cheerful people about him.
