"Boat ahoy! We want help. Bring your boat alongside." It was Mona de la Mar. Elsa drew back fuvthrr into the fog. Her first impulse was to refuse help. Mona shouted again,mul Elsa brought her boat alongside. "Do you need help?" she asked. "Yes." "Are you filling?" "No. I don't think so. But we're hard aground.

The vessel was the Sea-Horse, the circus people's schooner. It was not possible. Under the light air the ship had taken ground slowly, but her weight had carried her well into the opening. There was not room on either side of her for a boat to pass out. Elsa was a pri- soner. She sculled nearer, as quietly as she could. It did not seem that there was any immediate danger, the vessel apparently was not sinking, and as the sea outrdde was calm, her people would easily make the shore in their boats. She did not; wish to be seen. so she waited until they were 30m. But meanwhile she must know wheth- er it was possible for her to get out at all. There was a confusion and shouting on her deck, and Elsa thought that she saw a woman's form. The fog crept round again, ind blotted out the view of the stranded vessel. “Yes."

Even the presence of the Czar could not check the roar of laughter that burst from officers and soldiers, and Peter hud to admit that his carefully premeditated jest had failed to dis- concert his ever-ready jester. cii, How a Czar's Jester Got Even With 1 a Jesting Czar. " Peter the Great of Russia, says Miss (Anna L. Mordsunt in a study of his ilife and character, had a rough-and- 3‘ready humor of his own, but he was " no match in a battle of wits for Bala. 'kirefr, his jester. Once he attempted l a retaliatory practical joke upon the iprivileged favorite, whose sharp 'ftongue had played a little too auda- "eiously with the imperial dignity. " Balakireff had begged to be allowed ' to join the palace guard, and Peter, l with apparent reluctance, allowed him- !self to be persuaded. He warned " Balakireff to take his duties seriously, and especially impressed upon him _ that to be absent from his post when " summoned or to lose his sword would "‘be an oftence punishable with death. ’,Then he sent to the new officer's ' quarters a royal gift of extremely I potent liquor "to moisten his commis- sion." The jester, as his master had fexpected, partook of it too freely, and (while he was sleeping off the effects, the Czar stole into his room and ctr-l, ’ried away the new sword, leaving the scabbard, however, and the mock‘ (sword of lath that Balakireff always,' 'bore as part of his professional equip- _ _ ment as court fool. Its hilt and trap- ‘ Ipings were fashioned in close imita-: [Man of a ttuardsman's weapon. ( Btunfiireff was terrified, but his wits did not desert him. First dart.. ing a look of compassion upon the culprit and one of appeal and re- proach upon the Czar, he laid 'his hand obediently upon his sword hilt, lifted his eyes fervently upward and exclaimed, "Mereiful heavens, may my sword be turned to wood" Then drawing it with a flourish, he exhibited indeed ahurmleu luth! "Capt. Balakirefr," he raged, "draw your sword and cut that sloven down." Soon Peter appeared, surveyed the ranks with h piercing eye, and pounc- ing on an unfortunate soldier, berated him for untidiness, stupidity, sullen- ness and unsoldierliness. Rapidly his wrath mounted. until it attained an appalling climax. The next morning, when the sum- mons to the parade ground sounded, Balakireff, still rather dazed, hastily donned his fine new uniform and sought frantically for the missing sword. At the last moment he could do no better than catch up the mock sword and thrust it into the scab- bard, where it would easily pass un- detected unless he should have to draw it. Breathless but to the casual eye properly armed and aeeoutrcd, he join- ed his company. Among men of letters and artists who ignored the social prejudices in regard to smoking which Queen Vie.. toria fostered was Sir John Millais. He is said to have smoked a clap pipe in his carriage during the first Jubilee procession of the Queen. Wil- liam Morris was a pipe smoker, so was Rossetti, while Carlyle, as everyone knows, w’as a great, smoker. The story is familiar-it may be true --that one evening he and Tennyson sat in solemn silence smoking for hours, one on each side of the fire- place, and that when the visitor rose to go. Carlyle, as he bade him good- night, said, “Man, Alfred, we hae had a graund nicht; come again soon." Czarina of Russia; the late Empress of Austria; King Alfonso's mother, formerly Queen Regent of Spain; the Dowager Queen Margherita of Italy; and ex-Queen Amelie of Portugal, says Mr. G. L. Apperson in his book, "The Social History of Smoking." It is, of course, well known that Aus- trian and Russian ladies generally are fond of cigarette smoking. On Rus- sian railways it is not unusual to find a compartment labelled "For ladies who do not smoke." Both Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort detested smoking, so tobacco was taboo wherever the court was. "On the other hand, many royal ladies of Europe, contemporaries of Queen Victoria and her son, have had the reputation of being confirmed smokers. Among them may be named "Carmen Sylva," the poetess- Queen of Romania; the Dowager ‘crease of cigar-smoking among of- yFiiii of the army, that in the early 'forties he issued a General Order (No. WT) which contained a para- ‘mph which would have delighted the heart of James I. It ran thus: "The Commander-in-Chief has been Informed that the practice of smok- ing, by the use of pipes, cigars or cheroots, has become prevalent among the officers of the army, which is not only in itself a species of intoxication occasioned by the fumes of tobacco, but undoubtedly occasions drinking and tippiim: by those who acquire the habit."
