Seeing the rosea lu the cart, his eyes limited with pleasure. "How much for your roses?" he ask ed Mans. "They are not for aule at present, replied the countryman. "If they are wanted here they will hrlnK a better price when 1 approach the palace, for this la the omen's birthday, and there will lie many nallanta wanting flowers for gifts to her tna.tenty " Tbe man abused Hutu for a country bumpktu. but Huns drove on, pnyln uo attention to him. Hans was stop, lied many times by courtiers, some times men. sometimes women, and re ceived many otters for bis load, but he drove on, always saying. "If you are willing to give so much here what will I be offered when I reach the market place In the center of the city?" Finally he stopped his mule at the palace gates and was about to drive Into the courtyard wheu he was stop ped by a Botitry, "1 hare gift fur ber majesty gueeu Wllbeknlna," said llaus. "Let me pass." The chauiberlulu happened to be looking out of a window at tbe time and, seeing a cartload of roses below, bethought himself that there was a tine opportunity to buy flowers with which to decorate the throne room, in which hla royal mistress would that day receive her birthday congratula tion.

"X birthday gift!" exclaimed the ipieeD. gurpriHed. "1 have told him," put Id the cham berlain, "that your majesty would uot accept a gift from such as he." The queen looked down on the scene below for a few momenta without speaking. "The fellow," she said to herself, "has some boon which he wishes la return for hla gift" Aloud she sold: "1 will accept your rses. Is there anything I can do for you to show my appreciation for your offering?" "None, your majesty." The queen was taken almck at this, but since she had given her royal ac ceptance of the gift she could not take It back. So she thunked liana, and (he lackeys carried lu the roses, and liana drove away, the courtiers aud others who bad collected laughing In their sleeves at him. Huns drove back to 'he farm, where his father, swing the cart empty, ask ed bliu bow tuiicb be had received for (he roses. "Nothing," Hans replhsl "I present ed theia to the queen for a birthday gift." Hans told his father what had oc curred. The old man was much pleased until his son told him that when the queen asked him what she could do for hhn he hail sold "nothing." Then the falher abused him for a fool. Hut liana replied that If allowing one's loy alty to one's sovereign were Iteiug a fool then be was glad to be one. Queen VVilhelinlnn waited a mouth before takln any further action In the matter of her gift of roses, then made Inquiries as to whether Hans bad sent In nuy requeHt for a favor of any kind. When she wax told that he had not she thought n grout deal nbout Hans and what she should do in the matter.

Douglas Medway uml bis sister Clara were orphans. Douglas was ambitious both for himself and his sister. lie wished to become a merchant lu the city, and was desirous that Clara, who was a charming girl, should marry a city man. His plan was to sell the farm and set up a country store. This would take blm to the city to buy goods, where he w'ould make the ac quaintance of business men through whom he would gradually work his way Into a wider Held. Douglas carried out his plan. Itefore starting to the city hla sister warned him to beware of city people and re member that be was uot versed In city ways. To this he replied that he had letters to the firm of Burt & Richard son aud would rely on them for advice. Burt A Richardson "were wholesale grocers. Poug'as was received by Mr. Richardson, who said to blm: "You have giods to buy In so many different lines that you had better take one of our clerks to show you where yon can buy cheapest." Douglas gladly accepted the offer, and the clork who w as sent with him. Elbert Adams, put blm right Into the way of securing bargulns, and by 4 p'clock all of the groceries had been purchased. Douglas had found Adams strictly a business man. aud was much relieved on reternlng to the store to be Introduced to a Mr. Merrlman. who he understood had just dropped In and whose geniality captivated tbe young countryman at once. "Merrlman." said Mr. Richardson, "we are very busy Just now and can't give Mr. Med way the attention he needs Can't you devote yourself to him this evening?" "I shall be most bappy." said the genial Merrlman. The evening was a revelation to the young merchant He saw the sights of the city In t le most delightful fash ion.
