The. lord In waiting was dis patched to the street with orders to have bltu arrested If be continued within earshot, 't he Imperial stenog rapher resumed her pencil with Irem Ming ringers, while tils majesty, stalk lug up nnd down continued nt white heat. He closed with this powerful peroration: Why srs these gross violations of public order pcrmlttisl by tho authorities?

Who pos sessed considerable Interests on the Knst liver, boarded a car and Jolted across town that Is, the other pnssen gers Jolted; he retained his ndninnntliio rigidity. Hut fate decreed thnt a horse should drop, sunstrttek. across the track. A block ensued, nnd the royal horse cur was stalled quite a distance from the river. The king, who regarded nn;.- obstruction to bis Imperial progress asit personal nffront. fretted and fujned, pulled out his wateli nnd tried to make himself believe he was In n tremen dous hurry, but apparently the horse, I doren blocks awny, was an anarch istic lieast and wouldn't truckle to roy alty. His majesty might bave got eft and walked, but the sun was but and tho way unsheltered, so he preferred tc mop his brow nnd scowl tip the crosi street It was a short one. consisting of ntrlmy, stunted houses and one large, handsome building nt the farther end. The front of each bouse was decorated with Its Inmates' underwear, and on each (loot'-dep sub a small,. dirty child, holding a luby. The king bad never seen an many children lcfor He was reminded of a swarm of files. In a shady ccrucr sat a knot of luliorvrs, drinking from tin ratlin, devouring Im mense sMUdwiches and smoking clay pities, v bile ott the housetops were stretched dluy labyrinths of clothes line and More underwear. Kvery one seemed to. be. on .the most luUmate j VmiT ana TS vxTct "stori wight nave been ascertained by a careful ctudy of the refuse vegetable Darter Disgusted with the prospect, the king closed Lie eyes and ruminated over certain stocks, but presently a shrill chatter broke the noonday lull, and, looking abroad once more, be beheld coming down tbe street, led by a little ten-year-old slattern, bis friend tbe blackmailer, pulling bis organ after bini. waving bis band playfully at tbe children awl wearing tbe same Joyous smile, which, It appears, waa chronic. - Tbe king clutched bis knees, gasped and nearly broke a blood vessel. Twen ty yards off the btucktnalJer baited, and It seems almost like a sly Joke on the part of fate that the first sounds should bave been: Most every one knows. ' ' And when wt are mar-rled How happy we'll be! I lovs swset Rosis O'Qra-a-ady, And Rosis O'Ursdy loves me-e-s! By this time tbe babies bad been tor- gotten, the doorsteps deserted, and a score of frowsy beads bad appeared at tbe upper windows. Tbe blackmailer, smiling upon the circle of upturned faces, adjusted a lever nnd started off again on an Irish Jig.. Then two of tbe children entered tbe ring. A lean, ragged little pair- they were, not over elubt years -old, but with wlint seat, what sense of rhythm and even a ssrt of r luv-h grace they danced there under Ci:; rcorcblng sun" Kb oc to face, back to I :;ck, side by side, with quick steps, oulklcked feet. swaying bodies, arms akimbo, beads aslunt, and mm eltitrhlug fast to each other, they circled ttlaiut lu a JiiuntyJ little east side walta. And bow their faces brightened, and bow the rest watched nud bent time, on the cobbles, onger'for their-turns! And when tbe (wo fell out, exhausted, another, couple took their (daces, then another and an other, until they had nil danced and the black mailer's repertory was ex hn listed. . s ' At length. When . "Sweet Itosle 0'irady"-vras reached again, tbe little one who had brought .him executed a solo. In biimblu Imitation of some cos tumed iierformcr seen from the gallery of a Ilowery musie hull, fingering her ragged skirts as though they were beautiful tinsel and gauge, waving her thin, grimy arms as though tbey were while and fair to look upon, pirouetting about on tiptoe tis though her shoes were glided and dainty Instead of three times too hi rue, biittonless, down At tho heel ami broken nt tbe sides In fact, a very miniature of the heavenly, fitiryllko original In the old clothes of poverty and the clumsy graces of tbe slums.

It tar "IHi It ag'ln,. flosleT' while even a few of the big, rough luborers strolled across to watch and said she was "a purty Tli cMdrtn Muttered, slip of n gum ' and "lolke me own little Katy." And when the black mailer began to blackmail not a child but hud a long boarded cent to drop in the bat. One of the nieu tossed blra'a nickel, wltb "Here y'are, Pedro,' and, strangely enough, b afterward found a. quarter among tlie coppers and blessed the saints, wondering. In bis owu happy Italian wsy, bow It came there. Hut suddenly, wltb a cry of Th cop, th' cop!", the children scattered. seized their recctlve babies and slam med ami locked their respective doors, leaving tbe Idntkmniler, Itosle and the cop. with a band on each. It may seem Incredible, but the king was standing close by. As to why he was there and Ihiw hug he bud been there I know nothlnn, Inn bis car had tllsup pcarcd, and there lie stood, feet apart and Oats thrust deep In his pockets, regarding the trio curiously, almost eoiiecrnei'ly, fr m tinder - his bushy brows.
