On a bright, rold day In April, I7UI, a
travellngcarrlagr.wlth three itoetlllloui,

always attends a faahlonabte, wrlbbtillt

greaahn town of Innabruck. Th enr-

the brother and slater of the Coliltet
and aa the arlalocratic party alighted
at thrlr hotel they created aoiilti aenon
tlou among those who cliuter round the
tiorch In the clear nharp twilight.
The pretty Tyrolean hoateaa, whoe
faro waa ao charmingly act oft by the
trim amnrtncM of her velvet Ixxllce and
acarlct petticoat, together with varlotix
silver chalna, gleefully returned to her
parlor and her burly, gooil-tninporcd
nuahand, after ntlcnding the ladlea to
their apartment. Kvery one at the Inn
was glad that tho amiable pnrty from
Flnndera were going to reat there four
daya.
Their supper wca ordered In a prhnte
room, where the host and holca wait
ed on them In person, nnd conseipient
ly had thnlM'st of It with the loungers
afterward. Altogether they were the
liveliest Flemings she had ever seen ;
aad their good (minor seemed to he
shared by the three postillions, two of
whom were YVnlloona and one Italian,
aad who were making themselves ery
popular among the habitues of the inn.
"Well, this Is a pleasant little town of
yours, tnr nrnis,' said the vivacious
Walloon outrider, who contrasted strik
ingly with hla great, tall, ipiietly smil
ing companion, "One could die of
ennui hern as well as at Mege,"
"No, )ou could not,' returned along,
spare, jhkiIh Tyrotese, who spent most
of hla evenings at the Inn, nut never
drank; notwithstanding which peculi
arity ho and tho host were warm friends.
"Wo mountain folk are not dull ; our
hills and our torrents permit of no
dlilness."
"Very well, perhnps, for )ou who
are born to ll, to hang by your eyelids
on rooky ledges, or halnaco yourselves
over what tiro called In verses taa sil
ver thrends of wntcrfnlls, in purallt of
an undoubtedly clever nnd pretty little
animal ; but nil Mint would be dull work
tons. And then you hne not 11 nl

ouraP There would be no one to whom
ono could be tost!lllou."
"Wo are our own noblesse," said the
spare, poctlu Tyrolese.
"And von cannot sny, C'lnude," ob
served the lull Walloon, "thut Inns
bruck Is without noblesso nt the pres
ent moment; nay, more, it contain roy
alty In the simp" of two captive prin
cesses I"
"One of thrm Is the granddaughter
of tho hero who saved tills empire from
the Turks, for which the Kmperor now
keens her In iurance."
" Take care, Monsieur," said tho host
(ho pronounced "Monsieur," excr
vrably); "wo are all the Kalu-r's loyal
subjects hero In Tyrol."
"Vardon, meln Wlrth," relplcd
Claude, who pronounced German as
badly aa tho host did Fronch. You
kmow we men who run about tho world
laugh at everything, and too often let
our tongues run faster than our feet."
"And after all," observed tho Italian,
"it induing the oting princess no bad
turn to prevent iiur marrying a Prince
out of place, who is not likely to recov
er his situation."
Tho Flemings spent the few days of
tho sojourn In Innsbruck in visiting the
churches nnd seeing what va to lie
seen in the town. Tho Comtcsso do
Corncs' brother was tho busiest of tho
party. On tho morning after his ar
rival ho met in n church porch 11 rather
impish-boy In thu dress of a "long
haired page," and tho two hold a biief
coloipiy. To this stylish page, In whom
tho rather shapeless Slavonic typo of
countenance was widened out by smiles
of assurance, thu gentleman from Flnn
dera delivered n letter, together with 11
wonderful snuff-box, cutout of it single
turquoise, "for his mistress to look at."
On tho three remaining das likewise
tho two met in different spots; tho boy
restored tho anufT-hox, and brought
Rome letters written in a fashionable
pointed hand, In return for those with
which tho Fleming had Intrusted him.
Tho party were to set out on their
southward way at 2 o'clock on tho
morning of thu SHth of April. The
evening of tho 27th was overshadowed
by clouds driven by a sharp northwest
wind. Notwithstanding tho aspects of
the weather, thu brother of tho Com
tesso de Ccrnes, standing in the midst
of his llttlo party in their private room,
doned his cocked hat and his surtout
"Well, Wogan," said thu Comte, "if
practice makes perfect, you are a pro
fessor In tho art of eflecting escapes.
After having burst your wnv out of
Newgate, ami been valued at A0O Kng
llsh guineas (much below your worth,
of course), and cooled jourself for
somu hours)!! tho roof of a London
house, and reached France safely nfter
all, you ought to bo ablo to abstract a
young lady from tho careless custody of
Heister and his sentinels."
"I shall bo nshnmed If I fall, after
wringing from Princo Sobleskl his con
sent to tho attempt, and nfter his giving
mo tho Grand Vlrler'a snuff-box; but 1
nlwnys II ml that doing things for other
people is more ditllcultthnu doing them
for one's self."
"I should sav she wns a clover girl,"
remarked tho Comte, "nnd her page a
clover page."
"I wonder If Jannetton is ready?"
Bald tho Comtcsso, retiring into tho bed
toam occupied by thu ladles, whence
she soon emerged with her sister, nnd
woro her paletot, and Was smiling suffi
ciently to show two rows of exquisitely
whlto teeth. Thu Comtcsso on tho
contrary, seemed somewhat affected.
"Adieu Jannetton, mat's aw rcfot'r.
Thero will bo no danger to you, and
the Archduchess will take euro that
you join mo In Italy."
Jannetton vowed she had no fears;
and went forth into thu deepening twi
light, being shortly afterward followed
by tho gentleman In cocked hat and
surtout. Curiosity did not now dog
tho Flemish pilgrims, as it had done
while they wero altogether novelties,
and tho adventurer!) slipped out unob
served. Meanwhile tho "long-haired
pngo" wan busy at ono of thu slde-doora
of thu castle, where ho was often wont
10 converse with tho sentinel on duty.
"I don't envy you your trade, Mar
tin," he said, standing within the (Kirch,
to the hnnlrM soldier pacing up and
down In the keen wind. "Glory la one
thing nnd comfort another; but, after
all, 1 cry often no one hear of the glo
ry, whereas the comfort Is a tanglblfl
betirllt. With the wind In the north
cant, ami a snowstorm Ix-glnnlng, t, at
lerut, would rather lm comfortable
than glorious.
"A insii who has seen campaigns

Konska."
"Hut they generally put you Into
rlater quarters," said Konska, not
wishing the amllm-l to pique himself
on his hardihood,
"No mntter; a soldier learn what
hardship Is, I wish oit could ) a
shot-anil-shell storm Instead of a snow
storm, or a forest of bn)onets jinked
Into jour fnce by thoc demon of Irish
in the French service."
"Well, I say ll Is a shame not to treat
011r men bettor who hao braved nil
that, See hero; there Is not even a
scnlry-tiox where von can nurse jour
freefug feet. Ugh!" And Konska with
drew, iiresiimnblj to warmer regions,
while tlie soldier preserved a heroin np
pearnnce as he paced shivering on his
narrow bent. If tit a few minutes later
Konska, stealing back to the door, saw
that his martini friend was at his iost.
The Impish page pointed for a moment
in ecstacy to a tavern temptingly visl
Ible from the sentry's beat. '1 hen he
darted back in delight to whence hu
came.
While tho snow clouds were gather
ing over Innsbruck, and before the
Flemish chevalier had put on his sur
tout, two ladies conversed In low tones
In a chamber of the castle of which
General Heister was then the command
ant. Only one lady was visible; rather
elderly, very stately nnd somewhat care
worn in apiienraiiee. Hut that the oth
er speaker was of gentle sex and rank
might bo presumed from the tones
of a voice which Issued from tho closed
curtains of tho bed, It might oven be
the voice of n young girl.
"I hope you will not get Into trouble,
mamma," said tho mvstcrluos occupier
of the bed.
"Hardly, If joii write a proper letter
oil tho subject of jour departure, its
the Chevalier Wogan advises. You
must cover my complicity by begging
my pardon."
"I am afraid jou must write it your
self, mamma, ns I am hum r romtint."
"That would not bo to the purpose,
my dear child) thu General would know
my handwriting. I will push a table
up to jou; no one will disturb us now
till your substitute comes." She car
ried a light table, furnished with ink
stand and papetiere, to the side of tho
bed, and made an aperture in tho cur
tains, whence emerged thu rosy, bright
eyed face of a girl who certainly did
not look the invalid she otherwise ap
peared to Imi and a whlto hand with
an aristocratic network of blue veins.
"Will that do. mammaf" she Asked,
after covering n page with writing
equally elegant nnd difficult to rcaii.
'Ilave I aMilogl.ed and stated my rea
sons for going eloquently enough r Oh,
how I hope that I shall ono tiny bo it
queen In my capital, and that jou nnd
papa will come and live there!"
"I shall leave you now," she said;
"you will Unit inn In my room when
jou wish to bid me farewell." Shu
spoke with a certain stately sadness as
she left the apartment. The next per
son who entered It was tho Comtessu
do Ccrnes' sister In her paletot, witli a
hood drawn forward over her face.
She only said: "Que voire Attesi, mc
imrdonrie!" (Pardon mo your High
ness.) Instantly thu curtains divided once
more, and the whole radiant v ision of
thu mysterious invalid, clad iu a dress-lug-gown
richly trimmed with French
lace, and showing a facu .sparkling with
animation, sprang forth laughing:
"You are tho substitute?"
"Yes, your Illgness."
"I am sure I thank .(on, very hearti
ly, tut well asnn, Mine Missot and thu
Chevalier Wogho and all thu kind and
loyal friends w u are taking so much
trouble for mya ntisort and for me.
Tho Archduches' will tnku good caru of
you, Jannetton.'
Jannetton again showed her teeth
in a courtly smile ns she cotirtesicd
deeply. Shu was already persuaded
that she would lo well cared for In re
ward for thu mysterious services she
had como to render tho captive ladj
Shu disencumbered herself of her pale
tot, and looked amazingly like a vcrv
nent French waiting-maid until she hail
bedizened herself In the young lady's
beautifully worked drossiug-gown.
Then situ speedily disappeared behind
hu curtains of tho bed; while thu in
valid, wrapping herself In the palutot,
rushed into thu uext room to embrace
with tears and smiles her anxious main
ma.who said but little, and was now only
eager to hurry hur away. There, too,
she took possession of her page and a
small box which was to accompany her
Hlght down thu dark staircase. "Your
Highness will tlud nil safe," said tho
solemn page, who was careful to sup
press all signs of his Innate roughness
in the. presence of his mistresses.
"Tho sentinel will not know me,"
said thu young ladv.
"I am sure that "lie will not. F.vcn If
by chance ho should look out from thu
window of thu tavern where ho Is now
ensconced, it is not very likely that ho
would know jour Highness."
The black clouds which obscured tho
blueness of tho April night had broken
forth into an April storm of hail ami
wind before thu young girl and tho page
sallied forth into tho darkness. At thu
corner of a street they suddenly came
upon a dark lliruro, whoso first aimear-
anco tut it crossed hr path caused thu
fujritivu to start back in some alarm.
Hut it wns only tho Comtcsso do Cento's
brother, nnd the young lady's mind was
relieved when, with a swift grace, hu
bunt for amomuntovor her hand with thu
words: "My princess, soon to bo mv

a dark street and a hailstorm of vour
loyal servant. Charles Wocnn.
"Oh. mv ltrotector and iito.l nnmd!
Is It Indeed you?" replied tho young la-
tiy. "io assured mat 1 would gladly

her to the Inn, which the pagr Conska,
however, waa not to enter with hi ml
tre; he was to wall In a aheltrrrd
archway until the Comte de Vrne'
traveling carriage should pick him up
on Its way out of Innsbtuck In the dark
ness of rarly morning. With a grimace
he departed for thi covert, while his
mlstreaa was hurried Into th warm at
llioophere of the Comtee de Certie'
Ix-drooio, where (hat would-le Lonlto
pilgrim knelt andkNo-d hr hand. Hut

bright wixmI lire, the inet. and the dry

room,

Wogan, speak In his letters. How can
1 tlinuk vott for the trouble jou take for
me? I regard him quite in the place of
my papa. Hut jou all seem to be as
giMid as he Is."
"Madame," replied the ladj thu ad-drcsM-d,
with all the lojalty of an eigh
teenth century speech, "jo'ur Highness
knows that It Is a delight to a subject to
servo such a sovereign as our gr ictoo
prince, and all that I have done i at my
tiuband'a bidding."
"With such subject I am sure It will
not lie long Ix'foru he regains his throne.
Ah. this delightful lire I Do jou know,
madame, It Is snowing and hailing out
side aa If it were Jauuarj ?"
If Mine. Miset felt some concern at
thu thought of the Impending Journey,
If not for her own sake, at least for thnt
of her husband, she expressed none,
except on her Highness' account. How
ever, her ladjship gayly laughed at
hardship and difficulty, and was not at
all depressed at having left her mother
in the castle prison. Her only fear w as
that she should Ihi missed from tho cas
tle before she had got clear of Inns
bruck. Hut matters were not too well
arranged for so speedy a termination of
the romance. Hy '1 o clock of the win
dy spring morning the traveling car
riage was ready, thu Tjrolce landlord
and landlady little supoctiiig, ns they
sped their parting guets. that the sec
ond lady who entered ll in cloak and
mank was anv other than thu sister of
tlmComtrsAcdo t'ornciuho had arrived
four dajs before.
"Oh, my good Papa Wogan I" ex
claimed tho latest addition to the party
of pilgrims, as they were rolled into tho
darkness of that wild night, "how de
lighted I am to be free again, and about
to join my royal consort! I owe more
than J can express to all, but most to
to jou!" Which sho might well say,
seeing that it was "Papa Wogan" wllo
had selected her as tho hrltlo of this
consort to whom her devotion was so
great. Tho two gentlemen in the car
riage assured her that no harm would
happen to two such dashing cavaliers;
but perhaps the Comtcsso thought that
to .hose who are safe it Is easy to talk
of safety. Not that any of tho party
ware really safe, but the cheerfulness of
the' young ladj whose passport was
shown nt all tho towns aa made out for
tho sister of thu Comtessu tie Curncs,
seemed to preclude thu idea of peril to
her companions. At Venice the mind
of thu Comtcsso was tinnlly set at ease
by tho reappearance of tho outriders,
telling a funny, unscrupulous sort of
story ubout having fallen In on the road
witli a courier from Innsbruck, to whom
they made themselves very agreeable,
ami whom thoy finally left hopelessly
tipsy nt an inn near Trent.
"It wtvs very wrong of you, Messi
ours," said tho escaped fugitive, "to
make him drink so much; you ought to
have tied him up somewhere. Hut I
thank you very much for all thu dan
gcrsjou incurred for my sake; and I
assure all of yon, my good friends.that
jour king and queen wilt never forget
jou."
There' were no telegrams in thosu
days; but before a week was over, all
Kuropu, or rathe r.nll political nnd fasli
lonablu Kuropctvas talking of the es
capo of tho Princess Cl-mentltia Sohlo
eski, granddaughter of thu hero who
repulsed thu hordes of Turkey on the
plains before Vienna, from her captivi
ty at tho castlo of Innsbruck, where
alio and her mother had for political
reasons connected with Great Hritaln
been placed by her cousin, tho Kmper
or Charles VI. of Germany. It was
told with Indignation at thu court of
Guidon and Vienna, with laughter and
admiration at those of Home, Paris,
ami Madrid, how sho had been carried
oft by a warty of dashing Irish people,
calling themselves noble Flemish pil
grims, and how she had left a French
maid-servant in hor place in the castle,
and a letter to her mother apologizing
for her flight. Tho prime contriver of
tho adventure, it was said, was that
Chevalier Wogan, who had been in
mischief for sometime past, nnd had
nindu his own way, with great aplomb,
out of Newgate.
At Venice a singular readjustment of
tho dashing party took place, thu viva
clous outrider now appearing In thu
character of Captain Mlsset, thu bus
band of Mme. Missot. hitherto called
the Comtcsso do Curncs, and thu tnll
outrider iu that of Captain O'Toolo
both being of thu Franco-Irish regi
ment of Count Dillon, ns was also thu
gallant Major Gaydon, nllas tho Comto
tin Ccrnes. Tho Comtesso's brother was
now no longer related to her, but ac
knowledged himself to bo that Charles
Wogan who had really dono m much
for tho Chevalier, having fought for
him, been taken prisoner for him, esca
ped for him, chosen his brldc.and efect
ed hor liberation as cleverly as ho had
effected his own. Iu fact tho Italian
peasant Vuzsosl wns tho only otto of
this curious group who had acted at nil
in propria persona.
Tho loth of May, 1719, was a gala
dny in Home, when a long string of
coaches ami tho Princo whom a lnrgo
number of Hritlsh subjects, expressing
their loyalty by peculiar signs of ap
proval considered to bo rightful KingVf
Great Hritain and Ireland went out to
conduct tho fugitive young lady tri
umphantly into tho Kternal City. Shu
now no longer needed tho passport that
had franked her us tho sister of tho
Cointedso lo Curncs, being openly and
joyfully welcomed ns tho Princess Ma
ria Clementina SobiosM. Exchange.

In the Oxford edition of the Kugii'h

the one plan where the word occur,
the "Gospel forSeptuagcsltnaSunilay."
In theOxford Hlhlc the word has its

"penny." The reason given Is that
the printer follow the standard Isioks,

Never marry a man who has only his
lovo for you to recommend him. It is
very fa.Moinating.but it does not make tho
man. If ho is not otherwise what lie
should be, you will never Iks happy.
The most perfect man who did not lovo
you should never bo your husband.
Hut though marriage without love is
terrible, lovo only will not do. If thu
man is dishonorable to other men, or
mean, or given to any vice, thu timo
will como when j-oa will either loathe
him or sink to his level. It is hard to
remember, amid kisses and praises,
that there is anything else in the world
to bo done or thought of but love-making;
but thu days of life are many, nnd
the husband must bo a guide to be
trusted 11 companion, a friend a well

man whom ahu knew to be auv thing

that hi confinement Is to be solitary

regular working hours ho i employed

taken to literature rather than to tho

brings over her communication every

young murderer writes are marvels In

and some of his descriptions of his
lonely life are characterized by a Had

never makes any reference to his crimes,
and when qttesUoned by thu officers
about thu multitude of murders and
outrages w hich he has committed ho in
variably answers that hu knows noth
