I want you to tell me all about It, .and how you discovered the Fair Island, and* mndo the passage of the 1‘alnted Hoi ks. No ship ever dlil it before. When f; ! 1 saw you east nnelior in the bay this •morning, I could hardly believe my eyes.” ‘•Willingly, your majesty. It Is rather rj. a sad story, but—" Here her majesty broke Into a merry laugh, Mr. Field seem ed amused, and Fane smiled sardonically, "Why do you say ‘majesty?’ ” asked Mali, xrhc n she had done laughing. •'Heenuso In addressing a crowned head It is tho right tiling to say. At least, I have always supposed so. I hough I ‘freely .admit l never spoke to n crowned head be fore, nnd kuow nothing of tho etiquette of •Courts.” I "drowned head Is good," said Mob, laughing again; "better than •majesty,’ 1 think. Hut you are mistaken. ] am neith er a crowned head nor a majesty." I “Then these gentlemen misinformed me,” I said, feeling both foolish und vexed. ‘•They always ijpenk of you us queen — fjiieen Mub.” "So I am"—proudly—"In I ho souse that 1 uni chief of tno State, hut that makes me neither u majesty nor a crowned head. Them are neither crowns nor courtiers in | Fair Island, and there is nothing I should I more detest than to lie addressed In terms •of fulsome, nnd therefore Insincere com- | pliineut. ‘Majesty,’ indeed! Hut more of this another time. Your story, Mr. Uriel f want to hear your story, lb-gln, please. But 1 am forgetting; you must lie hungry. It Is n long way from your ship hither.” And with that she crooked her forefinger ■put It between her lips, und guvo a low, •musical whistle. • Tho next moment the door opened, nnd •euic of tho maidens whom wo hud seen ou iS "tho veranda appeared at the threshold. “Order a refection to I ft* served for these i gentlemen an hour hence,” said this queer •qpeen of n queer race. “Now,' Mr. Erie, pray begin; and, If possible, make your talo •lust until the refection Is ready.” I obeyed; nnd when 1 saw how much tho • account of my voyage interested my listcn -ers—above all tho queen, who never took her eyes off me, nnd I am sure missed not -a word—I told It in full, from start to lln tsb, and on I warmed to my work I think 1 told It effectively, keeping hack nothing • save the Incident of the euptnln’s munu • script, whioh, as I thought, belonged rath* |: -or to Tom’s story than mine. Once or twice the two men made as It they would have Interrupted me; b;tt Queen Mab stopped them with an Imperr ous gesture. Until I hail tlntshed she ■would not suffer a word lo be spoken, nnd V 'then I was simply overwhelmed with ques tions. What did I mean by an auxiliary screw ; nnd getting up steam* How could a ship - ■ move when there was no wind? were Among the first. I tried to explain; but, as they were ab solutely Ignorant of the properties of • steam, I had a difficulty in making my ex planation clear. Mab, I could see, fully ' •believod me; but whett 1 spoke of railways, 'locomotives, steam-engines, nnd the rest. Field and Fane smiled incredulously. On ’ this a bright thought struck me. “Go with me ou board the ‘Diana,’” I -said, “and I will ship the screw and start ‘the engine. There is coal enough In the -bunker for a run round tho bay. When I fc v-that is done we must tiro up with wool." j "By all means,” exclaimed Mub. "Yes, I • I will go on board, nnd then you can show j menll these wonders. Only to think that ships enn bo mode to move nnd carriages to .run simply by boiling water! It seems al i most-" , ''Impossible!" put In Fane. "No, not impossible: I am sure Mr. Eric "tells the truth. Say, rather, incomprehens ible, and most passing strange. Wo have no right to disbelieve things merely be cause they are new and startling. But ■pray tell me, Mr. Erie, whether there are • any books on tho ‘Diana*’ ’’ t' , "Yea, a good ninny. Two or tlireo lmu ••dred volumes, I should think.” , "Two or three hundred volumes! Oh, ; how glad you make me!” she exclaimod, fairly clapping her hands wkh joy. “Books -®re better than steam engines; and we Qmve so few books, and those we havo are almost in pieces. See this copy of 'Shak cpearei’ lioldiug up the volume she had been reading—"it will hardly hold togeth er. my ‘Plutnrch's lives’ and ‘Paradise ■ IjOsP are in the same evil case, and poor j 'Robinson Crusoe’ has almost ceased to sexist. We have several works in munu script, and I am having more copied; but ipaper is not plentiful in Fair Island. Think •yonthore Is any on tlie ’Diana»’ ” "Home, certainly; perhaps a great deal. "Onr cargo is miscellaneous, and paper is . largely exported from England.” "England! Ah! I shall want to know much about England, Mr. Erie. I shall • tire you with my question^ I am sure I - shall. But here is Marian, to say the re fection is served; and after so much talking •job cannot fail to be hungry." V*., - As Mab spoke she rose from her chair. 'T toss also, and offered her my arm, which, • -after a momentary hesitation, she took, t guessed, from her manner and the looks of • the two piebald gentlemen, thatl had done »something unusual. But as it did not seem that Mab took the attention amiss, I could • •.easily dispense with their approval. The refection was set out in the next icoom on a table which, like everything else about the place, wasevidently of homo C manufacture. The pottery was equally rude; the display of glass scanty, and of ■ ancient fashion and shape. The forks were • woodegt-haodled add two-pronged; the t kniveCbore a strong resemblance to butch ers’ whittles; but, strauge to say, the plates twore of silver, and we drank our Adam’s • wine—Queen Mab offered us nothing . : stronger—out of goblets of gold. The > viands were abundant and well cooked. ' We had soup, fish, and fowl, yams nod po :§'■< ’ latoes, savory pies and sweetmeats, with • fruit in great variety and abundance; but -neither beef, mutton, nor pork. Oar host •am-took the heed-ef the table; 1 sat at her i rigid luiud, Kirld at her left mill old Tom I mt opposite young 1‘iine. The boatswain I did not seem to lx* enjoying himself much. I He was not used to ludles' society, poor : fellow, nnd detested cold water, 1 am sure ! lie would tmvo preferred u meal of lob i scouse and plum-dud on board tho "1)1 1 ana,” washed down with a class of lmlf i wilier grog, to the tlnest refection anybody could net before him. The Q teen tried in vain to net him at bln ease and draw him out. She only succeeded In overawing him. Hut she made one more effort. "Won’t you take an orange, Mr. Bolso verf” she said, offering him one with her own hand. "It Is a very line one, grown in tny own garden, and picked by myself.” “Take it, Tom!" I said, seeing that he hesitated. “Thank you kindly, ma’am." he ex claimed, stretching out liin arm to receive tho proffered gift. "My (iodl Wlmt Is llils)" she exclaimed, dropping the orange and seizing the acm. "What Is this* ‘Santa Anna. 1744,’ and the figure of a ship! How, when, where— what means It * Tell me, whnt means it)”. All looked at her In blank surprise. Old Tom seemed thunder-struck, and could an swer nothing. "What means it)” repented the queen. "How came this inscription on your arm) I want to know.” The boatswain, still speechless, pointed to me. “This man appears to have lost Ids senses,” she said, turning to me. "Will you be good enough to tell me, Mr. Erie?— at once, If you please.” CIIAPTF.H XVII.—A IlKVKt.ATIOV. Queen Mali evidently Intended to be obeyed; and ns Tom's ceii!!« nnd tlie chap lain’s narrative was no secret, and I found myself in the presence of a mystery which I was us anxious to solve ns herself. I will ingly complied with her rather peremptory request. "Do you happen to lmvo that document v.dth you, Tom?'’ I asked him. "No; It is in my locker, aboard the ‘DI MW.” f “Well, I have read il so carefully and so often that I know It. nearly ns well as I know ’Lloyd's It -sister.’ S> to begin at the beginning." And then I told them of tho elder Jlolso ver finding the tin case at the Azores, and gave almost ns full an account of Mr. Hare's diary as If l Imd read it alietd. Out of consideration for Tom's feelings I said no more about his erazj than was neces sary, only that lie was fully persuaded that he should see the "Santa Anna'’ before he died, and find the treasure which ho be lieved sho contained. This remark con cluded my second narrative, to which all had listened with hated breath. “Mr. lUlsover has been cherishing an il lusion, I am sorry to sny,” said the queen, ufter a short silence, which she had obvi ously spent in deep thought. "He will not see tho 'Santa Anna.’ She perished more than a century ago; and as for the gold and silver sho had on hoard—well, the plates off which you have just dined, tho goblets out of which you hnve drunk, and part of the galloon's treasure; but the bulk of it is still intact mid in our possession.” Tom stared at her with a dazed look; Ills face turned ashen gray, and his lips twitched convulsively. < "Von don't, mean to say," he said, hoarse ly—"you don’t mean to tell mo as—as the ‘Santa Anna' foundered hereabouts nmd somebody else got the treasure? I won't believe It! It can’t be true! God! it would be too hard—too hard—ufter all these years! No: t won’t believe it!” ■ “If the ‘Santa Anna’ you mean is the 'Santa Anna’ of which Mr. Have speaks in his diary,” said Mub, wonderlngly and pityingly, "and which was captured by tho ‘Hecate’ In 1744, there can be no question that she struck on the Painted Hocks in the same year; ting all the efforts of the crew to get her off failed; nud that she went to pieces n few weeks afterward— not, however, before all her stores and all the treasure were taken out of her and landed on this island.” “1 don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!” reiterated the boatswain. “It cannot be trne. You are making game of me! Say, now. yon are making game of me!” "What mean you? Why should I make game of you?” asked the queen, angrily. “All that 1 have told you is on record. Wo hnve the log-books both of the 'Hecate’ and the 'Santa Anna.’ Mr. Haro did not die of the illness lie was suffering from when he threw his diary into the sen; ho lived to be an old man. and tiled on this island. I can show you his grave. And the Mr. Fane he mentions, who took the command after Cuptaln Bamaby's death, was my grent-great-grandfather, and the fouuder and protector of this common wealth.” " Then I’ve been defrauded!” crjed Tom, savagely, striking his list on the table. “That is what it is; I've been defrauded! It’s me ns should have found that treas ure! It’s me! It’sme! Haven't I thought of It. and dreamed of it, and striven for It thirty years and more? Ay, they were right us called me Crazy Tom. I am crazy! I am crazy! and may Oud forgive them as lias made me so!" And bowing his head on ills hauds, the poor old fellow wept aloud. “Why does the foolish man take on so?” asked Mab, who seemed equally distressed and surprised. "He might have been vis ited with some terrible misfortune. It surely cannot be disappointed greed?” “It is tlie shattering of long-cherished delusion,” I said. “The idea of llnding the ‘Santa Anna’ had become a part of his life.” “And he has found her. At any rate, he has fouud out what became of her, and that is all he had any right to expect; while as for the treasure, I shall be glad to give him an ingot or two of gold or a few handfuls of doubloons.” “I’ll have no gifts from nobody,” said the boatswain, in a quavering voice. “It I had found it. all would have been mine; but 1 would have shared and shared alike with Mr. Erie. Ain’t I speaking the truth, now? Didn’t we agree to share and share alike?" "Say no more now, Tom,” I satd, sooth | lngly. “We will talk the matter over to j morrow, and I hope yon willsee it in an | other light. Go into the garden and smoke your pipe.” "Ay, ay, sir!” he mnttered. and without another word left the room, greatly to my relief, for I could see that the 'qneeu was beginning to lnso patience. “These are strange stories you have told us, Mr. Erie,’’ she said, turning to me. “and no less strange is the manner of your coming hither. It would almost seem as if Fate, or Fortune, or 1‘rovideuce had di rected your course and sent you to the Fair Island for some purpose which is not yet clearly discernible. And no less strange than the story you have told me is the story which I am about tn tell yon. Don’t shake your head. Waterlow Field. I shall tell Mr. Erie everything. 11a is a man of honor, and will neither abase my confi dence nor do aught to injure our people or compromise tlielr safety, Besides, who knows* he limy l>o persuaded Jo remain with us nml give our commonwealth the benel'd of his knowledge mill experience; nnd you must admit tlmt we are *j:liy lacking in many tilings. If isolation hue greut advantages, it hus also serious draw, backs! Hut to my story. You must have already guessed, Mr. Erie, that we nre the descendants of the ‘Hecate’s’ crew: indeed I Just now told you that Commander Fane was my gi eat-great-grand father. The •Santa Anna' struck ngnlust those very Paluteil Hocks through which you so mur* velfusly threaded your way—” ‘•Then the inscription 1 saw—” ‘•Yon saw the Inscription! That is the very place. It must be well-nigh obliter ated by this time. We will Imve it renew ed. Since the wreck of the ‘Santa Anna’ several ships have liecn lost in the same place; for the most pnrt they went to pieces immediately, and their crews perished to a man. Yours Is the only ship that ever got through, mid you nre the first liorn Eng lishmen who, since 1141, has landed on the Island. Bat if I go on'at this rate I shall never finish my story, and I lied perhaps better not uttempt to finish it—at present. You shall rend tlueJog-books of the ‘Hec ate’ and tlio ‘Huntn Anna,' also our records; they have been well kept, nnd then after ward—yes, that will he the better way— Mr. Field will place all the records at your disposal. Let him see everything, Mr. Field.” Mr. Field bowed acquiescence, and I said I should read tho log-books and records with (he greatest interest. After a few further remarks had been exchanged, I in quired it the queen was still in the mind to pay her promised visit to the “Diana.” “Certainly,” she said, smiling. "I am not in the habit of changing iny plans ex cept for good cause; and lam most anxious to seo your wonderful stcum-eugiue, and, above all, those books. I fear f shall never bo able to tear myself away from them. May 1 bring some back with me?” “Of course. Rave I not said that the ‘Diana’ and nil she contains are entirely at your disposal? But I shall have to precede you. It will take me an hour or two to get steam up; and we shall require help to heave the ntichor. The boatswain and I cannot do it alone.” “You shall have all the help you want. See to it. Mr. Field, that Mr. Erie's orders are ns Implicitly obeyed as If I gave them myself; and give him and the boatswain quarters in your house.” On this lie bowed again. Then the queen gave mo her hand, which I kissed ns be fore, and withdrew with Field, leaving her alone with Fane, whom I now knew to be her kinsman; for tiie commander of the “Santa Anna” was doubtless the common ancestor of Iron. [To be Continued.] PRINCESS BISMARCK. Tli« Wife of file Great Statesman of Gor. If little is known in England ol Prince Bismarck's private life, still less, says Mrs. Pereira, according to the London Atics, is known of the lady who for more than forty-two years has shared his home. The Princess Bis marck is described as the very model of a practical, methodical German matron, with an eye for every detail ol household arrangement and economy, and a heart for the comfort and well being of each housemate, from the highest to tiie lowliest. Weddings, it has been observed, not seldom give rise to otliyr weddings. It was at the wedding of a friend that Bismarck first met Fraulein Jo hanna von Puttkamcr. She w:u one of the bridemaids, and the stalely lady made then and there an impression oil the young baron which culminated iu an offer of marriage three years later. The key to the priucess’ character is to bo found, says the same biographer, in her words: "That mV liusbaud is a public character is a fact to which 1 often Hud it painful enough to resign myself. But as for me. his wife, what have I to do with publicity? I do not exist for publicity, but wholly and sole ly for him.” This perfect union of souls, how ever. Mrs. Pereira eoufossos, has not prevented the princess’ liushaml from posing occasionally as a victim to fam ily claims. In one letter lie says, re ferring to a projected excursion to the seaside: have held out against it for a long time; but as all the mothers and aunts are unanimous in declaring that nothing but sea-water and sea air can do poor Mariecheu any good, I know that tf I still refuse every cold in the head which may befall her will be set down to my avarice and paternal barbarity.-’ Again he writes, ••Yes terday I was reduced to such a state of despair by all these plannings that I was positively determined to give tin the whole journey: and I went to lied with the firm resolution at all events to travel straight through without stopping anywhere ou the way.. But Johanna attacked me in the* night, with the youngster in her arms, and, by all the arts which drove man out of paradise, she of course gained her point, aud the original scheme is to be carried out.” It is only fair to the princess after this to quote her husband's loving let ter from Biaritz: "I have a bad con science, because I am seeiug so much that is beautiful without you. If you could ouly be carried hit her through I the air, I'would go with you this very moment back to Sau Sebastian.” Concerning the Hand. One of the most commou signs nl Want of good breeding is a sort of un comfortable consciouness of the hands, an obvious ignorance of what to do with them, and a painful awkwarduess in their adjustment. The liauils of a gentleman seem perfectly at homo without lieiug occupied; they are habituated to elegaut repose, or if they spontaneously move it is attractively. Some of ljuceii Elizabeth's courtiers made playing with their sword hilt au accomplishment, and the most efficient weapon of the Spanish coquette is her fan. Strength in the lingers is a sure token of mental aptitude. When Mutius burned his haud off before the eyes of his captors he gave the most in dubitable proof we can imagine of for titude. and it wiu natural that amid the ferocious bravery of feudal times a bloody hand in the center of an es cutcheon should become the badge of a baronet of England.

These victims of “tariff taxation and robbery" keep their surplus earnings in the four sav ings banks of Fall River. Pile Mc Kinley tariff act went into effect in the fall of JSill). During the next year, according to Senator Carlisle and his free trade friends, the mill hands ought to have suffered from a cut in wages and from increased burdens of “McKinley prices,” and to have been unable to enlarge their deposits in the savings banks. Unfortunately for the “tariff reformer's” argument, the mill hands have not been over whelmed with misfortune. They have increased heavily their savings bank deposits. The savings banks write up the books so as to show the total amount of each depositor's account on Oct. .11 of each year. The following is a comparison of the total deposits in the savings banks on Oct. ill, 1800, and Oct. .11, I SO 1: W.VOK-K.UiNKKS A VINOS IN'lllK VSKll. I Sill). 1WU.

This decrease may be said to have begun al most from the month when the Mc Kinley act became a law. mid it cor tinued until, in the latter part of 1801, the price per yard of print cloths reached 15-1(5 per yard—the lowest notch since 1850.
