Tha widow of tha Blaek Prinoa and
rnothur of tha young Richard waa not
aver i!tod whan alia aaw what the
book waa. Tha aspiring Ouka ol I-an-oter,
a man of many ambltiona, waa
iiupwUni, with or without reaaon, of
driiiina upon tha throne. It waa nat
ural, at loaat, that tha young king'a
mother ihould diatruat and dlalikahiro,
and it waa with aonia drynera in her
tone that aha aaked, when aha aaw
that C lara had hotin railing the "Book
of the Ihicbaaa," "Where did you get
thla?"
"It waa a New Year'a gift from a
friend when I waa at Cavandlab Hall."
The prinreaa allli looked tnquiriiigly,
though aha auitl nothing, aa if wonder
ing how the book could have reached
Cavendiah. There waa a touch of de
flane in Ulara'a ol, aa aha anawared
tha auppraaaeii inquiry.
"Halph Hardalot oopied It for ma.
Hia brother ia In the enrvlce of the
ari'hhixhop, and obtained a copy when
ha w Ht Urugoa with tha archbiahop,
and tha Duke of I-ancaater and hia ret
lntie went alao there."
Clara gava thia Information In a
hard, matter-of-fact tone, ai If thai
langing any one to aay that it waa more
than an ordinary matter of fact that
lie ahould have received a preaent from
Ralph llanlolot.
The print-era repeated the name with
a nulla. "Ah, Kalph Hardelotl The
young clerk who fought ao well at
Caatle Iledlnghani, and who helped
you to enrape from Bturhiere?"
"Yea, madame," aaaented Clara.
"And what of that?" ahe would have
added, but for her reapwt for the
prlnci.. It waa with dilllculty that
ha kept her voice from anggeating the
delimit niMMtion.
The prinoeaa looked aadly and
thougUKullv for a mlnuto cut Into the
de- panirg twilight. "Ah, I ana now,"
le aiid at lant, "why yon look and.
Ho you know I am wither glad to aee
mme m-dature In your eyes'f" "
Want wotild fain have diaclalmetl
mntimentality, but ahe was too much
in awe of the prlncefa. But ahe could
not arp;ro n a look of demure mockery
which would have been vialble In a
cleur r l'glit. ,
Ihn prtnceai went on: "Do you
know why? Lady Cavendiah baa told
ma i hat you have a heart of flint, that
alia never aaw you betray the leant
symptom of pity or tenderneaa. And
tlint, my child, la not a good character

"Utly Cavendish," aaid Clara, In a

The lniiiiUnt Clara could not keep
from hushing at the rfiiiliiU-cnce, and
the pi lnceaa caught Um Infection and
laughed too,
"it waa ao dull In the priory, ma
dame," pleaded Clara, In an apologetic
tone, recovering herialf.
The prlncea ahtKjk her head. "And
that waa your way of amuiing your
tell?" "I waa vety aorry afiarwarda," aaid
Clara, with an effort to aaanma an air
of penitence. "The dear old atater waa

atoopad down to kiaa her, ahe acreamcd.
1 did not think ahe would go into audi

"Well, I hope tha prloreaa gave you

"Water Anne forgave me," aaid
Cla'a, "The prioram would never

The dear old thing cried about it after
warda, and beirgad ma to forgive her

Clara'a eyea were glhtening again,
though there waa a amileupon her lipa.
"Well, then, child," aaid the prin
nt. "I know now that yon have a
belter heart than they think."
"I'gly women are alwavi apiteful,"
aaid Clara, in indirect compliment to
her patroneaa.
"Let n aee," aaid alia, amiling at a'
flattery which waa evidently aiocere,
"let u aee, if we can, what you bave
been reading. I believe I can gueoa.
The tale of Cey and Alcyone."
Hie took the book cloae to the win

" 'Ah mercy, aweete lady dear!'

'Ilelp mo out of thii diatreaa,
And give me grace my lord to aee

Or how he fareth.or in what wiac.' "
"It la a very touching tale," aaid
Clara, with a aigh.
"Yea," auawered tha princeaa, itnil
Ing, and Alcyone ia not the only lady
who longa to know whore her lord ia."
"My lord, madame, though I have
nevei admitUd bim aa anch, ia In Brit
tany, I hope," aaid Clara, in a lubdued
voice.
"rrom which," aaid tha princeaa,
Impatiently, "we both hope he will
neter return. But thia Ralph Hardetot
ia that not hia name?"
"Yea, madame."
"Have you no deaire to know what
haa become of him?"
Clara waa ailent.
"Anawor me, child," aaid the prin
ceaa, imperioualy.
" I Iaa he never come back to report
to tha king?" aaked Clara, in a beaitat-
Ing voice.
"That ia not an anawer," aaid the
princeaa. "You love him, do you
not?"
"I do not know whether be loves
me," raid Clara, burating into teara,
"and I do not kcow where ha ia."
CHAPTER XIX.
ti.u M.iitt nf tha minverHation be
tween Clara and the princeaa waa that
the princeaa apoke to the king and the
king apoke to Sir Simon Hurley. 8ir
Simon told the king that Kalph had
aorely disappointed him; that he had
turned traitor ana nna necn arreaieu,
but bad eacaped. Thia had been duly
reported to Clara, and aha wondered
ah, if Ralph had eacaned. he
did not communicate with her in aome
HVy. She aaxerted boldly to the king
and tt the princeaa that ahe did not be
lieve that Ralph waa guilty oi iiwo-
ery. lut it waa aoverai mwiun
ahe knew where Kaipn waa, aim moo
the information came through a mont
unexpected aource. About noon, one
day not long after tbrtatmaa one oi um
aquirea of the princeaa household re
ported that a Flemish merchant wished
tt) anbmit to her inpaection aome won
ful bargaina in gold and ailvor work,
which he had purchased cheap in
Ghent in consequence of the troublea
there. The princeaa had aome scruples,
but they gave way before the irresist
ible temptation of a bargain. She
would buy aome trifle for Clara at leaet,
and consented that the mercnam
should be admitted. To t iara a aston
ishment, the recognlred in him one of
Ralph'a associatea, the henchman
Lawrence.
Fortunately all eyes were bent upon
the pack which he carried in his anna,
and proceeded at once deferentially to
open, ao that Clara'a tonished look
paased unobserved. All the ladies of
the household gathered in a flutter to
examine the merchant1! warea. which
consisted chiefly of clasps, brooches and
earrlnga In gold and silver filigree.
Ha had not many things, but they were
of the moat delicate workmanship, and
soon there wai a lively bu of criticism
"lBbtR"M.t of this excitement,
Lawrence, who had not shown the
allghteat sign of recognhdng Clara, con
trived to say to her two words, to which
nobody but her would have attached
Iny moaning, if they bad W.n? !
overhear. These words were- Black
frlft.H .vespers." ,
When the honr for vespera came,
Clara excused herself from attending
the prince., and St. Paol'., d fur.
,ld down to the church of tta Black
Friars, then one ol the Bnest In Lon
don, though all tr.ee ol it baa ao dis
appeared. Tt was bat a stone's throw
from tha Wardrobe.
In the north aisle aba found Law
ronce waiting for her.
"You understood aie, madame t" ha
said, saluting her respectfully.
"Perfectly."
"I have been sent to speak with yea
about Kalph Hardelot."
"Whore la he?" she akaed.
He looked surprised. "I thought
you knew." he said. "He ia in prison
in Cambridge Castle."
It waa Clara'a turn to oxpreaa aston
ishment. "Hut we wore told he had
eacaped."
"The king Is under that belief?"
"Yea. Thia waa told to tha king aa
a proof that he waa guilty of tha
charges made against him."
Lawrence informed her that for some
time he and his fellows had anapected
Kalph of treachery to them. Through
a confederate in Cambridge Castle they
had learned the truth of the case, that
Kalph was kept a prisoner there on tha
charge of complicity in their doeigna.
Then Lawrence hr.d been sent to assist
him to escape, lint Ralph had refused
to stir. He would listen to no argu
ment; be was a prisoner by the king'a
orders on charges that he repudiated,
and he Wotild remain in prison till he
was cleared of them. It waa then that
Ijiarenre had been commissioned to
aee Clara, and urge her to press for an
inquiry.
"Surely," said Lawrence, when Clara
had told him how mattera stood,
"surely when the king knows that
Master Hardelot is still a prisoner, be
will at once have him released?"
Clara'a intelligence and practical in
stinct had deveod wonderfully dur
ing her short experience of court life.
Phe waa able to correct Lawrence on
this point. "That might be," sbe
said, "if the king were free to follow
hia own inclination. But he must have
been misinformed for a purpose. Those
who misled him must have a reaaon for
keeping Ralph out of sight, and"
Hhe shuddered at the conclusion to
which her argument pointed. Law
rence aaw it. "It might be better,
after all, that he should escape," he
said.
"If he does escape," aaid Clara, "I
think he might be helped to an audi
ence of the king."
llofore they separated Clara told him
what ahe knew about the espionage of
Docket on himself and hia master,
"Then wa bad better make all baste
from London," be aaid. "We have
now learned all that we wished to
know."
Clara left the church with a lighter
heart thtn she had known for aome
months. A prettier or brighter figure
you could not Imagine than hers aa she
hurried Uj St. Andrew's Hill in the
gathering dusk of the frosty January
evening.. Purple hood and mantle, the
ground white with snow, big flakes be
ginning to fall from the dark sky flut
tering down past tha quaint gables and
windows of the winding street. It waa
a nrettv fiaure burrvinc along, and if
you bad been near enough to aee the
aweet, oval, warm-tinted face and
sparkling eyes looking out from the
gray fur edging of the purple hood, the
vision would have warmed your heart
for hours.
Fathni Wiliom ascribed the change
in bur demeanor to the efficacy of bia
excellent couneela, and accepted the
thanks of the princess with happy hu
mility. (To be continued.)
WOES OF A REPORTER.

"Talk about hard luck running in

"'Wbat'athe matter with asking

PEACE IN AFRICA.
Termi Signed After Twe Ycare and Eight
Months el War.
London, June 2. Peace haa been de
clared after nearly two years and eight
months of a war which tried the British
empire to its uttermost and wiped the
Boers from the list of nationa. ,
Tbe war haa come to an and with
Lord Kitchener's announcement from
Pretoria that he, Lord Mliner and the
Boer delegates bad signed "terms of
surrender." Thia announcement had
been anticipated for several daya, but
ita receipt Sunday afternoon took tbe
nation by surprise, as everybody had
confidently believed that the bouse of
commons would bear the first news to
day. The edge of the anticipation with
which Great Britain awaited the prom
ised statement in tbe bouaa of com
mons waa still further dolled by tbe
following message from King Edward
to bia people, which waa issued after
midnight:
The king has received tha welcome
news of tbe cessation of hostilities in
South Africa with infinite satisfaction,
and hia majesty trusts that peace may
speedily be followed by the restoration
of prosperity in hia new dominions,
and that the feelings necessarily en
gendered by war will give place to
earnest co-operation on tbe part of his
majeaty'a South African subjects in
promoting the welfare of their common
country.'
The news which Gteat Britain waa ao
anxiously awaiting came characteristic
ally on an entirely, pacific and uninter
esting Sunday afternoon, when London
presents a deserted appearance. Very
late Saturday night a dispatch was
received from Lord Kitchener, in
which he aaid tbe Boer delegates were
coming to Pretoria, that they had ac
cepted Great Britain's terms and they
were prepared to sign terms of eurren
der. , Mr. Broderick, the war secretary
personally communicated thia message
to King Edward, who waa at Backing
bam palace. But the government de
clined to take any chancea and nothing
concerning the receipt of this message
was allowed to leak out. About 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon the war de
partment received the message from
Lord Kitchener, announcing tbe sign
ing of the terms of peace.
Tbe clerk on duty at the war office
transmitted thia message to Bucking
bam palace, where King toward was
lunching. At about 5 o'clock word
waa received permitting tbe publication
of this message, and the small notice
which was stuck up outside the war
office consisted of a copy of Lord Kitcb
ener's ' cablegram. A similar notice
was put outside the colonial office.
Beyond these two skimpy bits of paper,
London knew nothing of the great
event. In the clubs, the hotels and
the newspaper offices, which were al
most all deserted, the momentous news
waa ticked out on the tape.
Then like wildfire, at about 6 o'clock
London awakened to the fact that the
South African war was over. By 8
o'clock tha newa had become generally
known. A few belated extra editions
of newspapers were peddled about the
streets, but before their appearance the
enterprising hawkers, who for a long
time past had kept union jacks, feath
ers aud horns stored up in anticipation
of the present event, were much in evi
dence. Cabling from Pretoria, the corre
spondent of the Daily Mail, after an
nouncing the signing of the terms of
surrender, says the British authorities
absolutely rejected the suggestion of
the Boer delegates that the terms of
surrender ahould be ratified by Mr.
Kruger, and declared that the Boers
In Europe had no hand in the settle
ment. "The terms will show," continues
the correspondent? "that the British
government carried ita contention on
every vital point, while the minor
concessions, particularly those in re
gard to the generous financial treat
ment, will greatly appeal to the Boers
In general. The value of Lord Kitch
ener's personality aa a factor in the
conclusion of peace can never be over
estimated. There ia no doubt that
peace will be popular among tha
Boers."
