Two men , groping through the fog jostled each other at the door to Dolly' coffee house. ' Sir , " exclaimed the elder , layin ) hand to his sword , "a man of honor"- "Invariably allows precedence to hi senior , " interrupted the other , howini gracefully and stepping aside. "And , " continued the first speaker the frown vanishing from his brow , "hi grants so much consideration for tha senior' testiness that ho excuses hin and 'becomes his . guest at dinner. " "Pardon , monsieur , " responded tin yo anger man , "but I am the Count Po niatowsld. " "Then rank shall not hedge your re fusal , for I am Frederick , king of Corsi ca. So , now , to table , and , waiter bring us of your best. " Seated in the room to which the at tendunt conducted them he of middl * iigo and lie of primal vigor gazed a each other questioniugly. "Count , " began the former , "hav < yon hopes in Poland ? " "I scarce can tell. I wait the wil ; md favor of Catherine of Russia. " "Dream not too fairly of the future [ , too , wait and plan and hope bit pshaw ! hero comes the wine. Now r toast. Fill high and drink deep , for 'ti ; yourself. To the successor of Sobieski : nay ho soon reign at Warsaw. " "I send it back , your majesty. T ( ; he son of Theodore ; may he yet rul ( ; ho realm his father won. " "Dinner is served , " interposed the waiter. 'it was a meal of the sort for whicl : Dolly's coffee house had fame , and the lew friends failed not in devotion to the smoking dishes. The plates removed ; hey ordered pipes and port. His majes- y , flushed with generous drinking , felt n his waistcoat pocket and withdrew an iinpty hand. Ho turned to the at- .endant. 'You have served a king right roy- illy , and shall have a royal fee. Youi lame ? " "Wilkinssire. " " 'Twill remain in memory. To-mor- ow expect a parchment creating you : night of Ajaccio. " ' "While , in present payment , " laughed he count , "take this bright English ; rown of silver. 'Tis the last of many. " "My humble thanks to both. And lere's your bill. " "I have a score , " replied Frederick , 'to which direct the manager to add his item. So , Wilkins , adieu until the norn. " The three entered the public room , the raiter hastening ahead to confer with , burly man behind the bar. The latter xclaimed : "Look ye , Mister King , or whatever ou call yourself ! I claim good coin for ; oed fare. Too much yon are my debtor tow. " "My purse is empty , but we will not larley/ ' answered Frederick , drawing a nassive ring from his finger. "Here is ho signet of my dominion of Corsica. leave it in pawn till I come again. ) oes it satisfy your clamor ? " ' "Twill do " the , growled manager , reigning the jewel in his hand. At the door Poniatowski and the pre- jnder halted. The fog had risen. Frost lied the air. The stars shone undim- led. It was a gloriotis English winter's iglit. "I go this way , ' ' spoke the count , ointing down the street. "I the other , ' ' responded his majesty. Farewell and better fortune. " Slowly the old man walked a few rods ntil he reached a door opening on the ave. He stopped , glanced at the brill- mt heavens , sighed and went in. At early dawn a passing watchman ried : ' 'Five o' the clock on New Year's morn , rod save the king ! " Yes , God save the king , for on a hum- le cot in his cheerless upper chamber B lies stark and stiffening , a bullet irough his brain , slain by his own hand. FRED C. DA.YTON. The Year Like a Life.
