He Loved His Queen.

Once I was sent for, says the Queen of Roumania, to the town to a young man whose leg had been amputated, and who was in Inconsolable despair. Not having been present at the operation, I did not know wh ch leg had been taken o{f. I sat dow.i on the side of the bed and remained talking to the poor fellow for a quarter of an hour, he smiling sweetly at me all the time. When I arose my ladies of honor discovered that I had been sitting on the stump of the lost leg. I still shudder whenever I think of my stupidity. “You poor fellow!” l cried; “it must have hurt you terribly.” “I would have borne it many hours for the sake of llsiening to your voice,” he replied.—Once a Week.
