SNEERED AT TOE NAIL. King Alfonso Gets Into Trouble With Hie Peysie. London, Aug. 25.—However different the views whicu people of different creeds may take of King Alfonso’s con: temptuous remarks regarding the sacred relic known as St. veter’s toe nail in the Cathedral at Leon, there seems to be no douse, Judging from late Spanish advices that he has there by endangered the crown.

It Was understood, indeed, that one ob Ject of King Alfonso’s recent Journey Was to pay reverence to st.

It may be of interest to mention in this connection that during the Span. ishAmerican war the shrine contain: tng this relic was the resort of mult tudes who went to pray for the suc cess of the Spanish arms and for the safety of loved ones in the Spanish army or navy. King Alfonso’s apol ogists are inclined to attribute his peculiar conduct to an exuberance of boyish spirits, the king being only 16, and this explanation might well apply to some of his pranks and surprising utterances, but his remarks discredit ing St. Peter's toe nail is generally taken in Spain as indicating an unbal- anced mind and perhaps even incurable insanity, as it seems impossible that the king, with the careful training that he rece.ved from his religious mother, has denberately accepted the ‘Vaaabinne ae iaamatite.

A ROMANCE OF THE RIVERIA BY ST. GEORGE RATHBORNE, author of "Miss Paulette, of New York," "The Spider Web," "Miss Cuglyr," etc., etc. Copyright, 1900, Street and Smith, New York. CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. "Very well," she concluded, with a flash of determination in her bright eyes, "then I shall go alone. Thank Heaven, I know how to row a boat!" As she turned toward the door the "Pardon me, mam;selle; it would be madness in this sea," he said. She looked at him steadily. "The man was as a house, and the man's absurdity or his declaration was so apparent that there could no longer be any doubt regarding what was meant. The girl turned pale, as though overjoyed, and sudden sense of her helpless condition. It was now Merrick's turn. The situation had resolved itself so that the plans of the enemy had been exposed, and his opportunity to enter the city had been secured. There was no other way. Discretion might have suggested that they wait until the yacht was quiet, possibly a rescue could be effected without warfare. But as well attempt to stop the howling sirocco of Sahara as to influence an ardent lover to hold his hand under such conditions. Count Leon was there within easy reach, and the temptation was too great. So Merrick threw his castor into the ring. His manner of doing so was unique. The door offered a chance to overwhelm the great explorer. Men more famous that Count Leon have been upset and disconcerted by even smaller things that a cabin door. Merrick hurled his whole weight against the hinged catwalk, so that it shot inward with tremendous force. There was a collision. The door held up of it second best, for the door held up as own, while he sprawled upon the catwalk in an injurious manner. Score one for the intruder. Of course, every person at the table was up by this time, and a battery of eyes looked to see what to follow this assault on Villebols. Merrick stepped into the cabin. His appearance was so warlike that it at once created a tremendous sensation—exclamations from the men, cries from the women. Sir Lionel was almost perished with a bullet at this seeing a stranger aboard his yacht, anchored so far away from the shore, but, realizing that a duty awaited him, he bristled up and turned fiercely upon the intruder. Jones had not yet shown his hand. He was prudently keeping in the background, though ready to advance to Merrick's support at an instant's notice. "Who are you, sir, and how dare you come aboard my boat uninvited?" blustered the red-faced English counsel. Merrick had so great a disdain for a bully, and especially one of this ilk, that he laughed in his face. "Pardon me for having no cards, sir, but my name is Mark Merrick, Esq., and my ancestors came from the same favored land that calls you an unworthy son. As to my audacity in coming aboard your yacht, sir, permit me to inform you that I had no choice in the matter, since your jolly fellows knocked me down on the beach and carried me aboard, which was very kind and considerate of them, to be able to allow me to privilege of offering my services to Miss Dare as one who can pull a steady car and is not alarmed at this howling tempest without." Sir Lionel appeared quite crushed perhaps there was that in the fearless demeanor of the young man to account for his apathy—or else he was quite content that his allies France and Russia should bear the brunt of the trouble. Besides, it was not so much his affair after all, since he was only throwing the weight of his influence for a chum, the great count. Unfortunately the count recovered his wits about this time. He scrambled to his feet, looking very demonic—such rough treatment as he had received is not very conducive to good temper. "Sure! it must not be. They shall not listen this vessel swims, these misguided cowards who would knock a man down behind his back. Captain, I look to you to prevent it," was what he exalized in his rage. "Sir," said the captain, resolutely, "I wish my hands of this whole business. You cannot count on Captain John Lane for aid, even though it cost me my place to refuse. So there you have it." "Good boy!" said Jones, enthusiastically. Merrick drew a breath of relief. It was time they were going. "Why?" asked Merrick. "With me, Constance?" asked Merrick. "Gladly," was her reply. "Then come!" taking her arm. As they went out of the cabin Count Leon could be heard grinding his teeth in a savage manner—no doubt it was a custom he had acquired in Africa, but discretion must have been picked up at the same time, for he did not lift a hand to prevent their gears. Jones led the way to his boat. The crew knew something strange was taking place, but the captain gave no orders, and they were feeling too contented with the world to interfere. So our friends successfully entered the Corsican boatman's waiting craft, but immediately started for the shore. Constance was very quiet while the boat danced over the little star-lit wavelets. To conceal his real feelings, of which a false modesty made him abashed, Merrick assumed a gayety of demeanor which rather puzzled the girl, who would rather have seen him serious, since then she might have known he was wrestling with his love. Merrick and Jones saw Constance to her hotel. "After all it was a queer freak of fortune that placed me on board the yacht just at the proper time to lend assistance," said Merrick, seemingly caroless. Her fortune bit of chance for me," she replied, sincerely. For a minute neither spoke, and the uncertainty grew space like gathering fog which could be dissipated by a puff of wind, but no wind came. "I shall see you again, Mark," at length said the girl, kindly. "If you remain at Nice, we shall meet. My friend is a Quikotix fellow with a hatred for games of chance, and a radical remedy for curing the great public of all desire to play. His treatment is on the homeopathic style of like curing like. So he means to enter at Monte Carlo, and by breaking the bank repeatedly the wildest tenets of the game. Then finally he will make it public, so that once this is scattered broadcast it will never pay men to open a gaming place again." "Tell me about it, Mark; you have already succeeded in arousing my curiosity," she said. So he began. The story was interesting, and Merrick had so much to say he could not cut it short. All the while Little Miss Millions stood there looking up into his face, so absorbed in his narrative that she even forgot to take her hand from his arm. "Why, it reads like a novel," declared Constance, "especially with the three adventures that have befallen you in my poor behalf." Mark was tempted to say he hoped it would also end like one, but the words actually stuck in his throat—why, that would be just the same as telling her he wanted her for his wife, and with her millions, too. Perlish the thought. And as he bade her good night he scanned her hand in a way that made her heart beat a tri-hammer; but no word was said. CHAPTER IX At the Crater of Social Europe. During the season Monte Carlo presents a wonderful gathering of European and foreign circles—men and women famous in their way are so pleniful that one tires of having the notables pointed out. At the time Jones and his friend descended upon Monte Carlo, the famous place was not at the height of its season. The heaviest plungers would come a month or so later; but really there is never a time when the tables are in full operation that the scene is not deeply exciting. He was lamented above the horizon very humbly. He came not as a conqueror, preceded by blaring trumpets, and herds announcing his rank as the defender of the faithful, and sworn enemy to trusts. On the contrary, he sauntered into the gaudily illuminated rooms one night, with all the earmarks of an ordinary tourist, desirous of seeing what was going on in this palace whose fame had reached even beyond the sea, and not averse to venturing a small stake when his courage became illichic. Mrerrick had never seen the place and was of course doubly curious. He saw many people who were known to fame, some of them tempting the fickle goddess. And there were others whom Mrerrick recognized with something besides indifference. Some men, having the eye of the populace, do not sup with humility. And Tillieboels, being a Frenchman, had a great joy and admiration that usually characterizes those good people even more than the rest of mankind. The Russian giant did not present a very admirable appearance, since his scratched face showed the marks of his adventure on the occasion of his sudden departure from the Nice train, at the time he endowed to enter the carriage occupied by the man who carried the coveted trophy. It was easy to guess why they had hurt. There would be pickings for any one with the boldness to follow Jones' every lead. Then there was the princess, who had never looked more fascinating in all her life. Merrick smiled when he saw his old bachelor friend engaged in conversation win the princess. Jones had doubtless seen some dangerous episodes in his career, but he was in the greatest peril when he stood so close to the princess that he imitated in outloud perfume his presence, and came under the witchery of his smile. He did not know that he was on the brink—that was the trouble with most of her victims—they boasted that they had come through the first ordeal without a scratch, and expressed a readiness to meet another similar contrain with an eagerness that appeared suspicious. He manifested the greatest curiosity concerning all that took place, the crowds that throned the spacious rooms, the zealots who hung over the green tables and everything connected with the life that for years was written of Baden Baden, Monaco and their latest progeny, Monte Carlo. The nature of things, Jones meant to make haste slowly, and be sure of his work. Merrick awaited the result with no little curiosity, ready to take up the business when his comrade gave him the signal. He had been eagerly looking for some face in the midst of the crowd, looking with a feeling he dared not himself define, knowing as he did that his lips were to be sealed with reference to such a sacred theme as love so long as Constance was the favored daughter of wealth. And presently he saw her, looking sweeter than ever, in company with a stern, military gentleman, and his wife, possibly old friends, whose interest in the "Little Lady of the Diamonds" could date back to her life in South Africa. It was just at this time, however, that Jones made up his mind to begin operations, and, accordingly, Merrick was forced to the tables in order to watch his play, it being necessary that he should keep in touch with every move, in order that when the occasion came, he would join into the game he would know just what had been done and what bold strokes were to be played in order to make a successful raid on the bank. Other men had no doubt led desperate charges in the face of almost certain death, without the least sign of finching, where cannon thundered all around and grim foes waited to receive with bayonets whetted the enemy. The sight of the sword of Bengal in his native jungles, ready to stake their cunning and life against that of the striped terror of the tropics; but rarely has the privilege been given to any one to engage in so remarkable an adventure as that which now engrossed the attention of our raceades. The enemy against whom they putted themselves had defeated his cohorts and slain his thousands—he had never known but one serious defeat, and that was now overwhelmed in the past, so buried as to be quite forgotten. It was the old story of David and Goliath again. Jones had made a start. He scorned the roulette wheel and such minor methods of treating with Fortune's favors, and seated himself at the table where the croupler dealt the cards, plying his little rake amid the piles of gold and calling out the decrees of fate in that cold, passionless voice that had sounded the doom of the battle. He met another At trente et quarante Jones meant to accomplish his judgment. The stakes could run from a very small amount up to twelve thousand francs, the usual limit. Jones had thrown himself into the breach, and he carried something more effective than the deceptive glasses of poor old Quixote, who chose to imagine every inoffensive windmill a knight armed a pie and defying him to mortal combat. For Jones had the combination that had years ago sent a deadly spasm to the heart of all gamesters in Europe. Merrick's heart was beating a little more rapidly than its wont, but he quieted the inward tumult. If they were to succeed all emotion must be crushed with an iron hand. Jones began modestly. Of course, the wom- （To be continued.） GOT GOOD ONE ON MARK TWAIN "It's an old story to say that the life of a man who has once got the reputation of a professional humorist is one long and dreary round of jokes played upon him by well-intending but mistaken friends, but once in a while something really refreshing is sald or done—and I'm not sure but one such chance as that is worth all the others." The speaker was Mark Twain, and he went on to relate what he considered the most amusing of the attempted witticisms recently made at his expense. "I read it in some one of the literary weekles," said he, "where it was printed as though it were the announcement of one of my priceless books from some auctioneers' catalog 'way along in those years when at least this generation of jokers will have ceased from fooling and the laughter is at rest. Here it is." Then he took from his pocketbook a scrap of paper and read; "Lot No. 163. 'My Political Career,' by Samuel L. Clemens, pseudonym Mark Twain. A political writer and controversialist of the twentieth century. In his own day widely known as a humorist. The only other copy of this rare book is in Carnegie Library, No. 24,639, at Croppie, Me. Email paper edition of 1903. Catalogue price, $180. "Now there are two particularly good points to that paragraph," went on Mr. Clemens, according to the New York Times. "One is that it puts a fairly decent valuation on the little things I dash off, and the other is that it takes just a passing swing over in the direction of Brother Andrew." Count Von Zeppelin Ruined Count von Zeppelin, who has the distinction of having built the largest of all airships, has been financially ruined by his aeronautical experiments. Unable to obtain means for carrying out his new projects, he is now breaking up the old framework of his airships in order to sell the aluminium of which they are composed. Zeppelin is 67 years of age. He was a military attacke of the German embassy in the United States. During war and made several accusions from battlefields of the south in 1863. He was the leader of the famous cavalry raid in France in 1870, which marked the commencement of hostilities of the great Franco-Prussia war. Alrshin to Cross the Sahara The aeronautical problem which is just now receiving most attention in France is a voyage across the desert of Sahara. M. Debraux considers it absolutely practicable to travel from Tunis to the Niger by means of the winds blowing in that region. He declares himself ready to make the experiment. Up to the present time his ambition has remained unrealized, for the reason that the necessary funds have not been forthcoming. To construct and equip a balloon with a carrying capacity of several passengers would entail a cost of about $160,000.
