At the altar stood the priest, sur rounded by the emperor and empress, the embassador and court, welting with ea gerness the coming of the bride. "Ah. my daughter,” said the emperor as the princess approached, "thou hast delayed coming.’” And he led her for- The embassador slowly knelt down, averting hls head from the guests, and the priaevsa followed hls example, seem ingly unconscious of the presence of the court. Suddenly her eyes met those of the embas»ador fixed upon her, and, turn ing deadly pale, she made a sign for the c»rwmoay to comment». The ring was placed upoa her finger and her small white hand rested for one moment in tbe embassador’s, the bleeslng was pro nounced. the heads of both were meekly bent. aid. glaacing timidly at the stid kneeling bridegroom, the princess rose and knelt to her father.

May she be happy! was the thrilling exclamation ae the bri dal party left the salon, followed by th« younger sister» of tb» bride and tbe graceful, mirth loving courtiers. "What! In tears?” said the empres» kindly, when her daughter, overpowered by her concealed emotion, »obbed vio lently on her mother’» bosom. “This is not right, my child. Trust me, you »hall hear of u» often, and, though absent, we »hall never forget you. Let me dry away your tears, for, hark. I hear sound». Footsteps are approaching.” “I trust your majesty will pardon me," said the embassador, hurriedly retreat ing on beholding the queen of Germany alone, for the empress had retired. "I wa» not aware your majesty was here. Thi, pavilion is g -nerallv deserted.” "So it would be now, but I have come hither to see the sun set for the last time in mine own land anl to listen to the sound of my favorite band playing be neath the»« windows. You cannot blame me." "My liege lady. I would not dare to breathe a word of disrespect against one •o good and beautiful. Relieve me. I would die to save you one moment's agony.” "Nay: is life so utterly valueless?” “Utterly, for its only charm is lost." "Impossible.” said the queen softly. “You have much to live for—fame, wealth and doubtless love are yours. Say there Is another for whom you would dl» save me." “Nay. but one—forgive me. liege lady. b"t one. She cannot be mine. She is lost forever to me.” "1 PH.» you.” salt! the queen, tear» rushing to her eyes. "Is she wedded— this false one? Is she wedded?" "Yes, oh. yes. but she was not false. I did not dare to tell my love. I knelt and prayed for strength to wish her happi- ness. I hare asked it for her, but she knows it not." “Were your situations in life equal?” again said the queen. “No,” he answered: “Rhe was far above me—too good, too beautiful for me." “Ah. had she not been wedded I could have given you rank, wealth equal to hers and bestowed her on you. Should you have been happy?” “Lady, she did not—could not love me. Judge my feelings when unrepiningly she gave her hand to another. Lady, you do not know my misery." "How canst thou tell that?” said the queen, her cheeks turning lividly white at the warmth with which he spoke. "If youth was exempt from trials, how could we feel for others’ sorrows? If I hsd none of my own. I could not this night woop with you.” "Trials. la<ly?" said the embassador. “Yes. bitter trials, very bitter; but it Is not meet thus to explain the secret» of my heart. I.et me bid you be happy and, forever, farewell." “Forever farewell! Why. dearest lady, why? Say in aught I have offended you. Forgive me, I implore. I’art not In an ger with me; turn anl look kindly on me ■gain.” And the kneeling embassador caught the bottom of her robe. “Believe me. I had not dared to toll yon of my lore, but when you spoke so kindly to me and yon told me of wealth and fame what was worth living for when I was losing yon?" “Oh. my God. hare mercy! He returns my lore! Protect me. pitv me. wonk, sinful that I am! 1 whose heart Is his— how c»n I meet his sorer, icn?” Saying which, the queen fell prostrate to the earth, supported by the embassador. “I.csre me. leave." she said when she opened her eye«. "Leave me alone now. but. oh. do not brea’he to s single soul tnv weak confession of tonight." "Nover, never. It would be an lnsnlt to stay to oppress yon with professions of love yon mar not return. I have caused yon this unhappiness, but do aot re preach me Spare me. for yotir anger I cannot bear. Keep this as a memorial of one who lore,! you. one who must ever loro von—my first, my last lore.

And all the time she knew that «be dared not let her anger cool, for a horrid, absorbing pain would fll her heart it once and a wretched feeling of loneliae«« and depression, and she hated to be un happy. She paddled on and on until the other boats were all left behind. She was very tired, but she would not stop. Her mind was made up on one point—she would frighten Bob Jamieson Into an apprecia tion of her worth. It was almost twilight when she turned I to go home. Th« river seemed to her to have suddenly become louely and depress ing, the sun had gone down and a chill wind had sprung up. Dolly paddled fast and splashed the water over her pretty frock and grew cross and miserable. She had quite expected Rob would have fid- lowed her to “make it up:” she had de cided how long she would keep him io suspense and how at last to forgive him. A clock in the distance struck 7. Dolly paddled faster and faster, though she was so tired she hardly knew how to p on. She looked anxiously along, when swiftly around the bend she had jort | cleared shot another boat close in her I wake. It camo so swiftly it was almost on her before the sound of the oars made her glance up. It came so close that her cry to “Look ahead!" came too late. Rhe screamed with alarm and missed her stroke. The man fn the other bon looked around, with annoyance written on every feature, and then before be could back water the impetus of his last stroke brought the nose of his boat with i a crash into the stern of her canoe, which filled and sank instantly. “Rob! Rob! Rob! Help!" But be fore the cry was past her lips Dolly had gone tinder. "Great Scott! It’s Dolly!" In a second Rob had sprung Into ths water after her. A stupefied face rose above the surface and two hands Strug- I gling wildly to clutch something. Then • she sank again. In desperation Bob I made a wiki plunge at the spot where I she had gone down, and this time caught n bit of her sleeve. It was barely enough I to support her by: but. having got a hob!, he made the most of it and managed to keep her up until he coulil grasp her firmly. Then by degrees hp drew her to the bank and in time managed to lift b--r into his boat, which, fortunately, ha I drifted to the bank. She was . -nscioui again by that time, and he lai 1 ber In the boat and wrnppe«! his coat a!■ mt bet. She was not really hurt; only ov-rcom« with the shock aud weariness. But ’he looked a very piteous and forlorn littls creature as she lay shivering in the bow while Rob pulled as quickly ns he coal! to the boathouse. In spite, though, of her plight, her spoiled clothes an I general discomfort, she did not feel as depressed as she had been bef.-re th» I did the world seem so utterly devoid of happiness. “Rob,” she said after silently witch ing him for some moments "Boh. were von up the river so late?' “Why were you?” answered Boh. od without embnrrassment.
