Among the Fourth of July celebra tions iu this vioiuity was an im proiuptn piculo at Galice, where mirth and patriotism hleuded in a most eujoyabie day. There exercises were held in a grove three miles below the Galioe rastoffice. The doings of the day began with the regulation boom of canon at day break, but two days were consumed in the prepara tion, the mining companies anJ.the 111 Tenants contributing liberally and the event was a graud success One redeeming and particularly, nete worthy feautre of the celebration was the absence of druukenuesa or any thing intoxicating in the driuking liue. Nor were there any fighta. The I riucipal part of the progiam of the day consisted of siltinn in the shade Hudeonsuiuiug br.shel of Royal Anne 1 hemes, harre.n of lemonade, lots of ire rreaui aud theu a splendid picnic dinner, lbe menu lucluded the fat log him up. I'll do my best, your ex cellency." But the ambassador at a whispered word from a servant had already pot tered out of the room as fast as his somewhat shaky old legs would carry him, and the voluble Nlsh ran along In his wake. A commotion swept through th. scattered groups In the foyer a mur mur, a rustle, n whisper .that resolved Itself at last Into the excited phrases: "The widow has arrived!" "Twenty millions and unincumbered!" "Widow of Sudown, the animated money bag!" "A Monte Crlsto fortune for some lucky man!" "Her name is Sonla Sa dowa; twenty millions red h.ilr, too. but a beauty!" "Twenty millions!" "The Merry Widow!" Down the stairway from the dress ing rooms and Into the salon swept woman young, lieautlful, vivacious. A light of mischief danced in her great dark eyes. Her masses of auburn hair shone like an aureole above her ratuel pale, delicate face. About her hovered a half score of gallants, all vying fot a word, a look, from the beauty (and fortune) of the Tarts season. Two men the Marquis of Cascada and the Count de St. Brioche were lucky enough to claim for a moment or two her attention. "No, no!" Sonla was saying In pro test "At home, in Mnrsovla, men don't make such pretty speeches. Courtship there is very primitive and marriage Is for life. When a man makes love to another's wife, he is promptly shot. When a wife flirts, her husband beats her black and blue a good plan. Why not try It In Paris?" "Delightful!" exclaimed Cascada. "Do you know, tnadame, we have been counting the moments until you ap peared?" "I can well believe It," assented So nla. "It must have been just like counting money." "Oh, madame!" protested the group, horrified. "Don't I know?" retorted Sonia, a little bitterly. "It's always like that. I'eople count me like so much money. If It la coarse for me to say so, re member I'm a farmer's daughter and that In my country people call a epade a spade." l'opoff and Natalie came htiP.'eaTy la to pay their respects to the gutvt .ron whom llarsovla's hopes so depended. At a sign from the ambassador the otb ers drew back. "Ko you were shocking gome of our Paris gallants?" beamed the ambassa dor. "What a child of nature you are!" "You mean," countered Sonla. "that I am a peasant dressed up. How I wish sometimes that I were a real peasant again!" "Ah!" chuckled Topoff. "Child of na ture. true child of nature, always remembering the dear old days on the of the land, and the supply was such that after the hundreds had partaken, there was still ample for a good sapper. There was a ball game in the after noon between two nine picked from a mnng the boys in attendance at the celberatlon. After an hoars contest the score stood 0 to 11. Mr. Mitchell of Merlin acted as nmpiie. A 50-yard free for all foot race was participated in by about 25 ladies, old and yonng, Mrs. Daisy Cronch winning 1st and Miss Raybel 2d prizes.

Her face was paler than was Its wont, and there was a stern look as of pain about the dalntllyi cliseled mouth. "I have already met Prince Danik,"i she said curtly. "Itenlly?" cried Popoff. Then, not ing her change of expression, he added with apprehension: "I hope it was not on one of his wet days a charming, lovable youngster In spite of his" "I inn not Interested in hearing about him." broke In Sonla In a curiously level, emotionless voice.
