her name was ulieady being coupled in the

second and sole surviving sou of the Pi inte

the following paragraph, published tint

Is not viewed with etiianiinlty by tlio tnuiiiliera

to thu tlinnio should Ihj of the full blood ro)at.
It is hintisl ery brouilly that a mnrrliiuu Ihj-
tweeii I'tliue detune and Princess Victoria
Mary of Teck will Im arranged.
If Mitch an arrangement Is to bo carried
out it will not lack for precedent. Some
thing over it Uitrtci- of a century ago
Nicolas was heir apparent to the throne
of Russia anil the AleMiniler now ruling
was his younger brother. The two one
afternoon engaged In some rough sort of
HiuitMMueut and Alexander struck Nicolas
a blow, purely by accident, that laid him
on his death In.mI. The carowil. was at
the time lietrotlieil to .Marie, daughter of
Chi 11 Inn, king of Denmark, and the at
tachment of the two was very great. The
Danish princes mourned her lover sincere
ly, and then for reasons of statu became
the wife of thu new heir. Thu result was
hardly to be expected. Alexander HI and
his empress have lived together Inliappl
ness and harmony for more than a (punter
of it century, and last fall the royal couple
celebrated their silver wedding with great
magtiiliceuce.
A tinge of romance Hiirrotuided and Il
lumined the last days of the Duke of Clar
ence, hut In tlmt respect he was by no
means singular. English history teems
with wonderful tales of heirs, apparent or
presumptive, who never placed the crown
upon their heads. Harold was nothing
more than a claimant when he headed the
Saxons and went out to meet that other
claimant, William, iiud to sink beneath the
might of Norman valor. There, too, nru
the Arthurs, almost as unlucky, in a way,
as tlie Clarences. Arthur, duke of Brit
tany, could hardly be termed an English
man, but he was to all intents and pur
po-ies the rightful heir.
His uncle, the doughty Richard of the
Lion Heart, wits minded to go crusading,
nnd before he set out ho named tliu lad,
son of his brother (leoll'ioy, iim his succes
sor. Aunt hi r brother, .lohn, lie placed in
power during his iili-cine in the Holy

Ills death gave .lohn it new oppoit unity.
