JrlnceB who haa lived for years a very
retired life did not leave Laeken through
out the whole of the past wajxu Summer
Mwott. By the King's orders she was
compelled to relinquish her usual visit to ,
Ostend as a punishment for a little "con-
tretexnp" which occurred one fine morn-
tar In the Sprlnr. when the Princess was t
taking- a stroll In the perk at Laeken. She
saw there, to her surprise, two women
who appeared to be as much at home there
as herself. One was a young and very
beautiful rirt, the other, evidently the
mother, though, older, was equally hand
me. The Princess, with that gracious
manner which is renowned throughout Eu
rope, went to them, and thinking- they
were unlatestlenal intruders, nald. "I beg
your pardon. Mesdames, but perhaps you
do not know this Is private ground."
The women looked ber squarely In the
eye and the mother replied. "Oh, yes wo
do. but we like to walk here."
"Then I must request you to withdrew
at onee." said the Princess with royal
oXgaity, "This Is the Royal Park, and
you have no business to intrude on my
privacy-"
"Oh," sneered the younger of the women.

J highness Ik not aware that we are staying

I who Is most gracious to both of us, and
' has given permlssloa that we shall do

! The Princess was threatening to call the
i guard and have them turned out when the
King came en the scene, and the Princess
J appealed to him.
J "These ladles are my guests," said the
j King wrathfully. "and are welcome to go
anywhere they please. Go to your apart
j meats at once, and do not leave them un-
til I end for you. and do not interfere
with my friends again."
I And thus humiliated before the two wo
1 men the Princess was forced to withdraw
! after making the requisite salutation to
her father, while her rivals stood by smll-
iag. They are known as the Countesse de
J La h nay and her daughter. It is not dlffi

I that she would sooner suffer virtual im

It Is a matter of common knowledge
that Prince Victor already has a morgan

which cannot Inherit his title. There is
a plenty of precedent In the pages of the
unwritten history of European courts for
the disposition of what Is considered a
little complication like this. The facts
of the case are perfectly well known to
descent into the ridiculous although a
soft stop! Only the traveler who has en
joyed the one and suffered the other can
comprehend why the twain are kin. For
this country of stupendous scenery Is also
the land of featherbed. "When grand

The sprinkling of solitary men In the
lonely cabins Is noticeable. The age of
hermits has not passed with the tatttered

they here? We ponder, and wish we might
politely cull the debris of their past. Love
of land or love of woman speculation in

mammon "Goodes." Everyman put3 It on
the human heartstrings.
Still, there Is marrying and giving In
marriage In this country. Upon occasion
a shivering cupid Is taken In out of the
wet and his wings dried at the newly

Scotch lassie of the Valley, black-haired
and blue of e'en. Not on a bull white as

pioneer bride ride In state down the trail.
But John Alden, modernized by rubber
boots and oilskins, strode at her horse's
head. A new cabin looks out over the
sunset seas. And here we leave them to
years and substance and abiding joy.
All this while we have ourselves been on

reached the mallcarrler's ranch, where the

glow a belated band of sheep winds in

the Bonapartlst family and of the Im
perialist party was assumed by "Plon-

clared his contempt for his cousin, the
"ilan of Sedan."
A bitter family feud now took place.

the Bonapartlsts rejected "Plon-Plon's"
pretensions and opposed to him his eldest
son, Victor, who bad been designated as
chief of the family and party In the young
Prince Imperial's will. And when, on ob
taining his majority, Victor claimed the
leadership in direct opposition to his
fathfr, ho was followed by the bulk of
the jarty.
At his- death "Plon-PIon" disinherited
him. "I leave nothing to Victor, my eld
est son," he wrote In his will. "He is a
traitor and a rebel. His bad conduct has
caused me great sorrow." He designated
as hla heir his second son, Louis, who
has always fought shy of state Intrigues,
and is now a General in the Russian
Army. But the will had no political ef
fect. Under the Influence of their mother

Prince Victor remained the head of the

Imperial partisans and the affectionate
renunciation of the younger brother.
