LAST MOMENTS OF KING EMAN
UEL. Seeing the imminent danger
the Commissioner Aghemo beg,
ged the Prince to allow Count ot
Miafiori to enter the King's
chamber. Prince Humbert ae
ceeded to this request, and the
Count of Miafiori was introduced.
Atter a few moments Professor
Bruno Bacelli rushed precipitate
ly from the apartment of the
King and indicated to . the per
sonages assembled in. the adjoin
ing chamber that few moments of
life remained to the king. Prince
Humbert went ''immediately into
his father's roomand knelt at the
foot of the bed. Next to him
knelt the Count ot Miafiori.
There were present at the last
breath, besides! the Prince and the
Count, the three physicians, who

four confidential domestics ot
Victor Emmanuel, for whom he
had a great affection.
THE LAST SCENE.
' All present knelt. Signor Des
pretio fell to the floor, convulsed
with sobs and weeping. Victor
Emmanuel, after having looked
once more m the face of each one
present, gave a gentle sigh, half
closed his large eyes and died sit
ting in bed, leaning toward the
left side, with inclined fiend.
Some who were present at the
painful m. men t assert that Victor
Emmanuel apparec sleeping
rather than dead. Ills position .
when dead was, the same one
taken by the King when, travel
ing by rail, he slept upon his
chair 111 the car. Professor Bruno
t h e r a p i roached .the King and
placed his ear jin-the region .f the
heart. The '..'experiment lasted
but an instant, and, rising, Pro

A MAN'S STORY.
" I loved her, that woman you
see going down the street, with
the child clingino- to baud. You
look at me wouderingly, for yon
have probably come to the same
conclusion that most of mv friend
have, that I never loved any wo
man. But I tell you, Iiothermel,
I 'loved that women ds I shall
never love any one else in this
wide world. So you see I have
ray romance hidden away from
curious eyes, as well a3 the rest
of vou. I sometimes wonder if
the; e can be a life so prosaic that
it docs not have a touch of ro
mance in it somewhere. I think
m.t. But the world does uot see
it and concludes it does not exist.
Let me tell you about the ro
mance, Iiothennel. I know you
well enough to be quite sure you
will not tell it to any one. It
would not interest them, if you
were to do so, and there is soine
8omtthing about it, as there
is alwavs about our sorrows,
which prompts me to keep it out
of sight ot all but those who can
understand me.
I met Alice Graem at the
White mountains six years ago,
and I loved her from the very
first time I saw her. There was
something about her which seem
ed different f om any woman I
had ever met before She is the
first and only woman who ever
could set my heart in a flutter bj
her glance or the touch of her
hand. If you ever love a woman
as 1 loved her, you will unders
stand what I m.ean when I tell
you that, thatjsummer was the
summer time of lite and all the
world to me. The mountains
seemed to have caught that "light
that never was on land or sea,"
that 1 heard you reading to Mis3
Fin lay about last uight. The sky
was tender as her eyes. The sun
shine seemed to have a new
brightness. The world was a new
world to me, and all because I
loved Alice Gracra.
I slw her every day, anjl v.as
with her a great deal. We walk
ed together in the wild, delight
ful $ath that wound about the
feet of the mountains; what we
said to each other I cannot tell,
but I know that these long hours
spent with her in the silence aud
grandeur of the old rocks and the
trees, with far above us' the great
hills, whose summits seemed to
pierce heaven itself, were the
sweetest hours I ever knew.
The summer went by. and L
did not tell her that I loved her.
I could not. Ofe . and often the
words cam to my lips but I cou d
riot utter them. A wild, foolish
tear would strike me dumb.
1 1 have wondered often, since
then. -why I felt as I did, when I
tried to tell her the truth. Ii
was not because I was afraid of
her frowning: on my wooing, for
I was sure that she loved me. I
had read it in her eyes,and in the
telltale color which would rise U
her cheeks, sometimes,- at word
or look of mine. 13 ut, for all 1
had nothing- to fear and every
thing to encourage ins, I was a
pitiful coward, and theiove I had
to offer was kept to myself.
But I told my self that there
was no use in hurrying matters.
I would see her Vy and by, when
the winter came, and that would
be time enough.
The winter came and we met
agaiu. I shall never forget that
meeting any more than I shall
forget our. parting. It was at a
party. VI saw her standing apart
from the crowd, and went toward
her. She saw me coming, and
her eyes lit upas a morning-glory
does when the sun strikes it sud
denly. Her face was radiant for
one moment. Then her eyes
wavered and fell, and she did not
look up until I was close by and
held out my hand with a few
words of greeting. My heart wa
in a flutter ot gladness. She was
near and I loved her!
After that we met often. Once
T came near showing her my heart!
would to God I had done i?"'
Iiothermel! I was very near hea
ven the gaits were almost open
but I dared not venture in and
tbey will never unclose for me
again. I)on't accuse me- f talk
ing sentiment, hi I atnrnot. If
3rou ever love a woman , you will
find that her love is to you on
earth what heaven will be when
you are dead. I believe that.
So
will you.
I said that I came near showing
her my heart. We were alone.
I had been reading some poem to
her,' and its story of love had car
ried my heart along on its tide of
passion, until I felt that it was
my own story. I shut the book
and turned to her with my heart
upcv my lips. Her eyes were
strangely tender with the feeling
which the pom I had been read
ing had awakened in her breast
She smiled into n y eyes E touc.
bed her hand asj'ou might touch
a ro&e and was drrab!
If I had only spoken! Butthfit
wildj-curseditear was upon me
and the happiness of a lifetime
slipped from my, grasp, and was!
lost forever.
I did nol see her again for
months. She had gone South to
visit some friends.
But I dreamed of her. in mv
da'-dreames, and laid my plans
for the future, and not one plan
wa? woven in which she was not
the central thought. SVhen she
came back I would speak ouV T
would dally no longer.
By and by I heard that she had
a lover in that Southern city
where her friends lived. A fear
sprung up in my heart.' What jf
1 should lose her, after all? But
the thought that she loved me
quieted me.
I waited anxiously for her com
ing home. She came at lust, aud
the told me that she did not come
alono. -
I would go to her. I would
make my happiness sure.
I went to her. She met me
with a touch of the brightness in
her face. Then it grew pale, and
I fancied that she was ill at ease.
She did not seem like her old
selt. True, I could call the color
to her cheek for a moment, at
some low word of mine, and her
eye3 would light up with the old
tenderness, but a switt shadow
would fall and hide it all.
At last I spoke out:
"Alice," I said, "I love yon. I
have come t tell you so at last."
Her face grew pale as death.
Her eye3 filled with a darker
suahadow.
"Oh, why bare ycu told nte
this now?" she cried. "If you
had only told me this before!"
My heait seemed to slop beating.-
''..."
""You love me!" I cried. "No
thing must come between us
Ahce."
"There is a promise that lean
not break between us," she said;
and her voice sounded far away:
"I am to marry Douglas Leith.
It was then that I realized
what I might have had, had it not
been for my insane tolly. I had
lost her and. God help me! I
loved her so well!"
"I thought you loved me." I
said, by and by, when I could
command my voice.
ilI did! ' -he cried, and bursting
to a passion of tears. "But I
thought you could not care very
much tor me, tor you never told
me that you loved me."
I- cannot te'l you any more
about that last interview, Roth
ermel. I went away knowing
that the woman T had lost loved
me, and might have been mine if
I had spoken out like a man
when I ought to have done so.
But I had lost her foreeer. I
must go on my way alone, haunt
ed by the memory of what was
and is, and of what may not be.
Yon never dreamed I wasa haun
ted man, liothyrmal, but I am.
When I see that woman, as we
saw her just uow, vou cannot
guess how my heart cries out tor
what it might hrve had, it I had
not been a coward.
For your own sake and hers, if
vou love a woman, Rothermel,
tell her so. Don't shipwreck
your happiness as I have mine.

THE TITLED TRAGEDIAN.
A tall, wild eyed' man- was :
standing on the esplanade with
folded arms gazing in spelK
bound awe -upon the fountain..
His hat was crushed down lightly
over hisr,ctycsj, concealing a brow:
that has- but why should we an.
ticipate? His chin rocked ner
viously on his breast. With two.
oblique steps to the .right, and a,
couple to the left, he gave utter
ance to his emotions in deep ndl
heavy" tones so impassioned! thsLti
the fisb in the rbasiri propped up
themeejves on the ends of their
tails and peered over the edge to"'
see what the row was about.
"Ger-and! gel-oorcyi and peckv
culeesyar! It stands alone in its,
vast solitude amidst the busy,
haunts ot men!" exclaimed the,
stranger, drawing the dragery ofr
his ulster duster closed ahoat.;;
him. "Magnificent! Expensive,

A street car was : coming up,
the track as fast as -two rnulQ.
could drag it. The stranger faeecw
about, fell into tbe: attitude that
Ajax assumed when he under
took to scarce the lightning into,
the woods, and then with- a,
clenched hand bobbing in unison
with the vibrating; movement of
his chin he proceeded in a tone
that made the grou nd tremble.
