Bather less, than a year ago, during the spring season, at , pleaeantct of German watering-places, three persons, who seemed to be inseparable oempanions, walked daily together in the grounds of the Kursaaf." One was a beantffal Russian girl, Ida Koratine, who was always attended by Iwr brother, an ex-Colonel hi the Cxar's army, i The third member of the group was a .young English officer, Captain the Hon. CharMS Guerdon, of the Eighteenth Lancers. It was evident to all who ob-' served this gay youngster that he whs deeply ia love with his Kuseiaa friend's Was she in lore with him? On this point Guerdon himself oould have made no satisfactory answer.,' lie had been ordered to TS-by doctors to recruit hK health after a hunting aobideat. and had made Um acquaintance oSTua Koratiaas at, the hotel talk U'hok, They were persons of high birth, in affluent cirsamstsnoei, and of very pleasing manners. Count Koratine, who was not more than 70, had seen a good deal of military service, had traveled much, and was the most com oanionable of man. always ready to join in any amusement, to ohat or to listen m others chatting. He quke won Charley Guerdon's heart by hie horsemanship (for he had two or threa splendid animals and rode every morning with his stater) and also by his bright manner at Um toarte table, for he played any stakes you pleased, without earing whether he won or lost. As for Ida Koratine, she was the most delicious of girls. Tall and rraosful, wHh the f4r wavy hair and pink complexion whieh bespoke her Lithuanian blood, she had large dark eyes, at once grave aad soft, and a little mouth which could aatus wn exqutstte sweetness.

He had noticed, however, that tho Korauues appeareei w save a mystery in tneir iiies; iobj ATutuwi ii suiMsions to me motives which had induced Count Koratine to leave the army, and thev expressed radical or Nihilist opinions rather curious to hear from persons of their station. Ida searaad tn Ha mnnh more ui revuiuuonist manner orotner. She often questioned the Endishman about his country's free institutions and listened with a wistful eagerness to his confused explanations, for constitutional law was not much studied in the Eighteenth Lancers, and Charley Guerdon was puzzled to deine in what his birthright of liberty consisted. Sow and then Ida betrayed too ungaardsdly her love for political conversations and then her brother would interfere with a joke and a caress, which always checked her, for every word of his was law in her eyes. Guerdon had been struck and touched from the outset by the wholehearted affection which the brother and sister bore to each other. They were orphans, and Koratine's love for Ida had UMcbin it of paternal fondness; but Ida looked up to her brother aa a hero, an infallible being, a demigod, and her mere manner of clinging to his arm when thev walked, of b&bterilncr when he spoke to her, of putting up her forebead to be kissed when she wished him evotion.

If the wife survive the Prince the Queen is to secure her in lieu of dower, as a personal and inalienable provision, 6,000 a year throughout her life, and to be paid quarterly to her.
