seclusion for the remainder of her life.
This rigid deprivation of all enjoyment
of the world is necessarily a severe
shock to the sensibibility of even an
eastern queen. Never again does she
receive or converse with one of the op
posite sex, save only her husband, the
maharajah. Neither is a domestic of
her household permitted to look upon
her, otherwise her caste would be
broken and her birthright canceled.
This law among high caste seems cruel
and inconsistent, but the penalty of
disobedience is supreme. The violator
of a law so sacred among the sex as
that of "inclosure" has a horrible des
tiny awaiting her. She is expelled
from among her tribe in shame to be
come an outcast, exiled from within
the walls of the city for her crime.
But the present maharanee, says a
foreign exchange, now in her twenty
fourth year, has six little brown faces
to cheer her solitude. Her apartments,
large and luxurious Occupy one side
of the palace, opening one into an
other. Through long tapestried win
dows she steps into her private gar
dens, where the air is perfumed with
the delicious fragrance of flowers. The
little rustic bridges that greet the eye
occasionally through these grounds
nnnnect the manv beautiful terraces
beneath which flows a refreshing and
babbling brook, which, however, must
babble no secrets. Rivulets and brooks
are treasures In India. They are few
and far between in this region of mag
nificence. Ilere the royal prisoner, for
so she is, takes her daily exercise,
joined occasionally by her children,
who come with the delightful antici
pation of hearing some new fairy tales
from the lips of the beautiful mem
sahib who happens to be a rare story
teller as she is seated in one of her
favorite arbors where the citron vines
envelop the happy little group, a pic
ture only eastern.
When the maharanee wishes to leave
her apartments the command is given,
and in a moment the turbaned at
tendants that crowd the halls dis
appear as if by magic. The silence
that follows endues the surroundings
with the air of a sanctuary rattier than
that of a palace. Presently there
breaks Upon the stillness the faint
tinkling of a bell that announces the
royal presence, and the maharanee
comes forward, stately, gracious, kind
ly, "every inch a queen."
When she drives into the country in
her state carriage a relaxation which
she thoroughly enjoys, being a true
lover of nature -she must go closely
veiled. Itnrely a week passes without
a trip through the picturesque miedown
lying between Kunigal and liangalore.
Ilere the range of mountains to the
west with their majestic skylines show
to the greatest advantage the play of
light and shade at aunaet.
In traveling, the maharanee occupies
private compartments, which are high
ly decorated and delicately furnished
in oriental style, arranged so that she
may with ease enjoy the view of the
hills and plains and yet not be seen.
accompanied by her ladies in waiting,
who share the same privilege. When
the destination is readied an awning
is immediately erected which forms a
complete passage to the state curriage
that awaits her, bo that there is no pos
sible chance of satisfying the curious
gaze of all castes who patiently look
for her arrival. Khe is always glad to
see "European ladies," as she Is pleased
to call ali foreigner, no matter of
what nationality. She converses free
ly in several of the native languages,
eapecia'ly liindostanl and Canareaao,
and speaks English fluently. She loves
to hear of other countries, and the
habits and customs of other people.

that pertains to America.
ST0IIY OF AN OLD MAID.

Only in pleasant summer weather did
anyone venture out from Belmont in a
boat. Often in 'winter and sometimes
in summer after a squall pieces of a
fishing boat and tackle would be
washed upon the rocks and sometimes
the bodies of unknown fishermen
would be found dead upon the beach.
Now in 1S95 the coast is dotted with
lighthouses, but never can 1 forget the
first life-saving station that was built
by our own boys sixty years ago, and
the noble crew; with its brave young
captain, my love, Ralph Gordon.
Belmont is a fashionable summer re
sort now, but in 1833 it was a quiet
little place, where every one lived like
the Acadian farmers of old, dwelling
in the love of God and man, iu the
homes of peace and contentment. My
father, the village minister, was much
loved and respected. Our family be
longed to Belmont, and my f ather built
his house almost in the churchyard.
Our nearest neighbors were the Gor
dons, and they were our dearest
friends. The Gordon family was one
of the first families in town. Old Mr.
Gordon, or "tne squire," as fte was al
ways called, was the wealthiest man in
the village. The family consisted of
himself and wife and only son, Kalph,
the handsomest and best young man in
Belmont.
Balph Gordon was always a hero in
my eyes, and I do not remember the
time when I did not love him. hen
we were children together he was al
ways my playmate, and he taught me
many a childish game, lie was so
strnncr and hrn.ve. nnil I imorl t.n ivntch
him with such pride and pleasure as he j
rode through the village on horseback
or mingled with the other boys in their
sports.
At school he was the teacher's fa
vorite, and a thrill of ph-m
through my heart wheiu.svr

constant
companion and my escort 1 'mm church
and all our parties and lit: le social
gatherings, for we were very guy in
those old days. The autumn that
Ralph was nineteen and I seventeen he
left home for college. How everyone
missed him, for no one could bing us he
could sing, no one could talk as he
could talk, but I missed him more
than anyone, for he was all the world
to me.
The evening before he went away he
walked home with me from a friend's
house, and as we were waiting in the
churchyard to say good-by he took me
in his arms and kissed me. Just then
the chimes rang out, and somehow,
after he had gone away, I loved those
chimes and would listen in the hush of
evening for theru to ring, and when I
heard their melodious peal I remem
bered that loving' kiss and he seemed
to be nearer to me.
When he came home for the holidays
he looked both well and hnppy. Of
course he came at once to see me, but
not with quite the old-time freedom,
for we were grown up people then, and
I called him Mr. Gordon and ho called
me Miss Lacell.
Three years went quickly by and
Ralph left college and cume home to
us. "Such a fine young miin," the peo
ple all said, and "proud might 1m the
girl who could win his love," and I
was happy then, for I believed that lie
loved me.
Then the life-saving station wns
built, the crew organized and llulph
was chosen captain. All the young
men in town were eager to join the
crew as volunteers, and tlio girls were
not far behind In their enthusiasm.
Everybody waa interested and wanted
to do something, for the coast hud long
needed a lighthouse and a life-saving

exclaimed. "God grant that there are
no fishermen near our coast to-night,
for a boat could not be manned iu a
tempest like this."
"But we have a life-saving station
and crew now, father," I cried, but
flicn a shudder of fear ran through my
heart when I remembered that my
lover was the captain of that crew,
and might have to go out in such a
storm as this. My father and mother
thought also of Ralph, and for awhile
we were silent.
Hark! What was that? The alarm
from the boathouse. Was there a fish
ing boat with life in danger, or why
was the watchman calling for the
crew? The alarm bell rang on.
"It must be the wind that is ringing
the bell," my dear mother said. "Our
boys could not go out in a terrible
storm like this."
"Oh, father," I cried, "let us go
there and see, for Ralph I know will
be there."
My father commanded me to be calm,
and said: "It would do no good for us
to go out iu the storm even if Ralph
and the erew were out "
Again the alarm bell sounded, and I
cried out in despair: "Father, I must
and I shall go!"
I rushed to my room and dressed, and
going downstairs I entreated my father
to hurry. As we opened our bouse
door the wind blew in and extinguished
the light of my mother's candle, as she
stood near the door aud begged us not
to go.
Almost every moment the thunder
would peal and the lightning would
flush und light up the village and coast
for miles, and tlie rain poured down in
torrents. . It was a fearful struggle,
but clinging closely together we at
last reached the boat house.
There was the old watchman and
two or three members of the crew, but
where were the captain and the others?
Over the water came the faint cries
of two fishermen, whose boat had Ken
shattered upon the rock, to which they
were clinging, and the shouts of the
brave boys could lie heurd, who had
gone out iu a sumll bout to save them.
Oh, why had tlu-y attempted such a
dangerous thing in this awful storm?
Would they succeed?
My fa'lierandl fell on our knees and
prayed to God to guide that boat und
bring them safely buck, lint the sea
was too angry Unit night and the wind
mid the waves too high, und soon the
cries of the perishing llsherm.-n were
hushed forever by the roar of the
angry waters.
There on the shore we waited Btid
prayed, while the waves dashed furi
ously on the rocky Is-ach. The min
utes scctm-d like diivs to us, until al
most half nn hour nud passed uwny,
while we watched there and pruyed,
but our boys did not return from their
errand of mercy.
At last there waa a momentary lull
iu the a .or in, and we went nearer to
the wuteraud peered out over the angry
sell.
A flush of llj'litnlng revealed to us
for a moment the U-uutiful new ImiuI
tossing empty on le foam, and I sunk
upon the siind unconscious.
When I cume to myself thn sun was
shining brightly and I was In my own
room ut home. My f.itln-r. mother nml
many of my f lends were with me, but
they could not comfort me, for I knew
that my lover hud perished.
Ah! that was sixty year ago, and I
have lived to bury all my friends, and

IF THE JAPo TAKE PEKING.
The Chinese Emperor Must nana; Himself
Among Ills Ancestors' Tombs.
The members of the diplomatic corps
and others familiar with conditions and
customs in China are fond of specu
lating just now upon the possibilities
that may follow the capture of Peking
by the Japanese army, says the Wash
ington Post. It is assumed that the
young emperor of China will observe
the traditions of his race in case he is
overcome by so direful a catastrophe as
the capture of his capital, and hang
himself among the tombs of his ances
tors, and should that occur there is no
one to succeed him. Ho has no chil
dren, and the most sacred of tho tra
ditions that concern the royal family
requires that the emperor shall have
ancestors whom .ho may worship, and
from whose spirit he may receive in
spiration and guidance in the adminis
tration of the government. Last fall a
gentleman of this city accompanied one
of tho most learned members of the
Chinese legation to the sqldiers' cem
etery at Arlington, and while they
were wandering under tho beautiful
oaks the latter pointed out several
proper locations for burial. He ex
plained that any man who should bury
his ancestors in a certain place, which
he pointed out, would certainly enjoy
great wealth, would prosper in busi
ness aud accumulate money rnpidly.
Another location was favorablo for
tho burial of tlio ancestors of
one who aspires to political in
fluence. Tho advantageous con
ditions of each site were ex
plained according to tho mys
tical superstitions of tlio race, and
tho Chinaman expressed his amazement
that Americunsshould be ho indifferent
to them. In China, if an ambitious pol
itician does not advance as rapidly as
ho desires, ho attributes his f.iilure to
tho dissatisfaction of hisaneestors with
the site selected for their burial, nud
removes their lames with great cere
mony to another which ho considers
more favorable. If he d.a-s not then
succeed he moves tlu-iii elsewhere, nml
keeps on doing so until he enjoys bet
ter luck or gives up iu despair.
Tho Ignorance of the emperor of
China concerning the il;sasters that
have overtaken hhnruiir nud his Meets
Is believed to be a decided advantage,
to the Japanese, for no one dare tell
him tho whole truth eon. erning their
continual mid frequent d.-fc.-it.. No
1x mIv . not even the prime minister, can
approach the emperor except Uon hi
knees; tmr can anyone talk to him ex
cept while lying prostruto, with hi
forehead pressed iiguiuat the rugs upon
the floor of thn platform that sur
rounds the throne. Such a posture is)
not conducive to fluent communication,
and, a it Is a part of the religion of thn
Chinese to consider the rttiKTor inn
lliH.telil and Invincible, it requires
more than liumuii count'?" to Inform
