All this disclosed to the full poor Mary’s anxiety to help Brandon, and, the duke having adroitly let out the fact that he had just met the princess with Brandon at a certain secluded spot in the forest, Henry’s suspicion of her partiality received new force, and he began to look upon the unfortuo nate Brandon as a partial cause at ‘east of Mary’s aversion to the French marriage. Henry was by no means sure that his suspicions concerning Mary’s heart were correct, and in all he had heard he had not one substantial fact upon which to base conviction. He had not seen ‘her with 'Brandon since their avowal, or he would have had a fact in every look, the truth in every mo- tion, a demonstration in every glance. She seemed powerless even to attempt concealment. In Brando ’ handsome manliness and evident sxriority the king thought he saw a very clear pos- sibility ton. Mar? to love, and where there is such a possibility for a girl she usually fails to fulfill eXpectations. Henry grew angry and ordered Brandon to leave the court, with the sullen remark that it was only ‘11s services to the Princess Mary that saved him from a day with papers on the plllory. Now, all this brought Brandon into the deep shadow of the royal frown, and like many another man he sank his fortune in the fathomless depths of a woman’s heart and thought himself rich in doing it. “I don’t know about dat. ma’am." replied the dusty wayfarer. “Did you ever iooe anything by it?” “Ya. mum. I was ‘tnttooed man' in a circus one time. an' when dey made. me take a bath all (19 figures came off, an’ I lost my job.” Brandon told the whole straight story exactly as it was, which Buckingham as promptly denied and oflered to prove by his almoner that he was at his devotions on the night and at the hour of the attack. So here was a con- flict of evidence which called for new witnesses, and Henry asked Brandon if the girls had seen and recognized the duke. To this question of course he was compelled to answer no, and the whole accusation, after all, rested upon Brandon’sword, against which, on the other hand, was the evidence of the Duke of Buckingham and his conven- lent almoner. ‘ HI- Iad Story. ‘Clmnllness can do you no harm.” laid the housewife. lie Needed the Money.

Folks used to wait fifty years for a golden wedding, and now they demand it at the start." Now it was that the lawyer-knight earned his bread by his wits, for it was he, I know, who instigated the next move, a master stroke in its way and one which proved a Checkmate to us. It was this: The duke went at once to the king and in a tone of injured inno- cence told him of the charge made by Brandon, with Mary’s evident approv- al, and demanded redress for the slan- der. Thus it seemed that the strength of our position was about to be turned against us. Brandon was at once sumo moned and promptly appeared before the king, only too anxious to confront the duke. As to the confinement of Brandon and his secret trial, the king did not care to hear. That was a mat- ter of no consequence to him. The im- portant question was, Did Buckingham attack the princess? He stopped, with an evident desire to explain, but Mary pointed down the path and said: “Go, or I will have Master Brandon spit you on his sword. Two to one would be easy odds com- pared with the tour to one you put against him in Billingsgate. Go!” And the battle was over, the foe never hav- ing struck a blow. It hurt me that Mary should speak of the odds being two to one against Brandon when I was at hand. It is true I was not very large, but I could have taken care of a lawyer. “My Lord Buckingham, this shall cost you your head. Remember my words when you are on the scaflold, just when your neck on into the hol- low ot the block.” “Kindly tell me where my friend can wait upon a friend of M: grace.” deutly walked out to this quiet path to consult about the situation. As they approached, Mary spoke to the duke with a [icious sparkle in her eyes. 110 3: com-mun.) Things do not to wrong of them- Ielvel; somebody pushes than.

There is a weapon known as the “crow’s beak" which was formerly much in use among men of rank in Persia and north India. It was a horse man’s weapon and consisted of a broad curved dagger blade fixed at right an- gles to a shaft, pickax fashion. The shaft incloses a dagger, unscrewing at the butt end. This concealed dagger is a very common feature of Indian arms and especially of the battle axes of Pet'sia. ‘ Vindicated Their Victim. Bjornson was once asked by a friend upon what occasion in his life he had taken the greatest pleasure in know- ing that he was a poet. “It was when a delegation from the Right came to my house in Christiania,” he answered. “and smashed all the windows. Be- cause wheu they had thus attacked me and were starting for home again they felt that they ought to sing something, and so they began to sing. ‘Yes, we love this land of ours.’ They couldn’t do anything else. They had to sing the song of the man whom they had at- tacked. ” The next day a parcel containing sev- eral brand new shirts was left at his house by one of his hearers, a kind hearted old lady. Meeting the donor a few days afterward. he thanked her ex- ceedingly, but expressed much surprise at receiving sueh an unexpected gift. “More am I standing here preaching to you with only half a shirt on my book. while you sit there covered with gowgaws and other baubles.” “Quite true." added his reverence, “but you seem to forget the other half was in front.”â€"Londou Tit-Bits. \‘v’hore the Other Half Was. A young minister in the course of an eloquent sermon on the pomps and vanities of the world staggered his con- grvgution by excluiming: “()h.” said the lady. “you mentioned in your son-mm on Sunday that you hm] only half u shirt on your back.” On Black Monday, then. as it is iron- ically 'alled by some of the natives not overenchanted with the day. the streets of Brussels are given over to the people, and the adventurous for- eigner, who. ignorant of the country’s eustoms, ventures out, is apt to find that the Belgian populaee is no respect- er of persons. (in this day the shopkeep- ers. sig'hing lit-hind their eounters. tind themselves compelled to haml over to their eustomers' servants a foreed eon- trihution. amounting to a certain per- centage of the y mr's purchases. while the linkers. too, have a contribution to otl'er in the shape of cakes specially made for the occasion and offered as gifts to their clientele. In this manuvr the unique fete is per- potuatml. though the calendar does not unto in any particular manner the first Monday after Epiphany. A Popular Fete Day In Belgium “’hose Origin In a Mystery. The first Monday after Epiphany is a fete day throughout Belgium. “Lost Monday” it is called; exactly why no one seems able to explain. The origin of the fete is lost in the legendswf the middle ages, but the modern accepta- tion of the day is certainly lost to no one here. Like Mardi Gras, Lost Mon- day is a day of general merrymaking. Every cafe and restaurant in Brussels keeps “open house.” and free drinks are on hand for all patrons of the es- tablishment, and as a matter of fact for many others as well who are not regular patrons. But the singers at a Japanese dinner only take the part of the chorus in a Greek play, and they sing the story which dancing girls represent or sug- gest by a series of gestures or pos- tures. The dancers are splendidly dressed, and their movements are so interesting, so unlike anything seen in lurOpe, that we watch them with a curious sense of pleasure. drinks. As this ceremony has to be gone through a great many times drinking is often a mere pretense. Eat- ing is, however, but a small part of the entertainment. We must be amused, and to amuse is the business of the geishas, the licensed singing and ‘danc- ing girls who are attached to every tea- house. When a gentletpan would exchange cups, which is equivalent to drinking your health, he sits down in front of you and begs the honor. You empty your cup into a bowl of water, have if z filled with sake, drink. wash it again: and hand it to your friend. He raises it to his forehead, bows, has it filled and , “his. and Amusements Are More Important Than the Eating. Dining is not in Japan a serious basi- ness. The Japanese do not meet to eat. but eat because they have met, and conversation and amusements form the principal part of a banquet. Conversa- tion need not be held only with your neighbors, for it a man wishes to speak to a friend in another part of the room he quietly slips the paper panel behind him, passes into the veranda, enters the room again and sits down on the door before his friend. Exchanging cups is the chief ceremony at a Japa- nese dinner. Sake, a spirit made from rice resembling dry sherry, is drunk hot out of tiny lacquer and gold cups throughout dinner, and the musmes, who sit on their heels in the open space of the floor, patiently watch for every opportunity to fill your cup with sake.

In a Scotch church an old minister who was very deaf was also very anx- ious to introduce some new hymnhooks into the church and asked his preceno tor to give out the notice immediately after the sermon. 'i‘he precentor, hav- ing a notice of his own, gave out that members of the congregation wishing to have their children baptized were to send their names into the vestry. The old minister, thinking that it was the notice about the hymn-books, stood up and said, “And I wish to say, for the benefit of those who have not any, that they may be had in the vestry any afternoon, between the hours of 3 and 4â€"0rdinary little ones at a shilling each, and special little ones. with red backs, at one and three." ‘ the gang.” moaned a business man - who used to entertain largely at poker. “I haven’t touched a card .in seven years.

When I moved to the Bronx. they followed me. When I settled in Jamaica, the ride to my house. did not seem too long for them, nor did they mind the journey home at 3 or 4 in the morning. When I realized that I was supporting them with my losses, I tore up the cards and cracked the chips ' with a hammer. When, lo. behold, ev- ery mother’s son of them knew me no more! I lived so far away that it was impossible to find time to come. to visit me. I am sure that if I had opened a ‘ poker game in the darkest cell in the . bottom of the bottomless pit they would have come to play with me.

There is a keen knowledge of human nature in the following hit of fun from the Lewiston Journal, but no more than might be expected from a down east tavern keeper who has had a long ex- perience with autumnal sportsmen, of whom many are called, but few get up: It is an unpardonable breach of eti- quette for an inferior to enter the pres- ence of a superior with his cue wound round his neck or head, as it is fre- quently disposed of during work, and the greatest insult one man can offer another is to pull his cue.

In China the men take as much pride in their hair as women, and the “pig- tail” is a thing of no little moment. In making the cue the whole head is shav- ed except a circular patch upon the crown.
