Princo Neagce Bassnrab was a God fearing man whowasovof seek ing a vrny to display his pioty. He had built tho churchos of tit. George and the Metropolitan in Tergoviscb ta and the wondrously beoutiful cloisters of Cosinaud Tinmann, the latter upon a rocky peak from which a cataract foil, and yet ho cleemod that ho had r.ct done enongh. He longed to erect at Curton de Argiuoh a church liko no other in the world. Ho eont far nnd near for architects noted for their skill and originality to undertake tho r.ork. Among thfira a raan named Manola. Homo fcr.y that ho came from Macedonia,' otbera that he was a Spaniard. Ho promised the priaoo to delight Lid cym with u etructure that in its Lnriccnious virion of By aifiitinc, Arahio and Pcryiun r.ichi tcotnro should bo-cf unsurpassed lovclinecs. II u choso tho laborers that teamed to him nio&t ekillfal and began Liu v.ork with inhnito j.iy arid icvt, fcr ho felt that his power 'waa ripo and that ho waa master of Liu art. Eat it wasaaif Eonio evil spirit opposed him. -No matter how deep the fnundationa were laid ctrcama of water would gush forth, loosen tho toil and dis place tho stoma. Daily they found the sand bat recently removed had drifted back, nnd daily the walls had to bo torn down and built anew. Acd when Manola, after working and thinking all day, left tho place at evening with moist forehead and puckered brows, he -knew In what Condition he thould find it on tho morrow. TJi laborersiegnu to murmur and were loath to work, saying that the spot was accursed and that a church would iiotlt bj erected there. Ma nola bad as much trouble with the grumbling men. as with the refrac tory ground, tinny a long night would ho tcss to and fro open his bed In painful thought, then tipring pp and abed bitter tears. Hut sweet young wife, Anno, would claoniiso and gaze at him anxiouaiy with her large doelike eyes. , ' "Toll me your thoughts beloved. It makes mo tad when yon Buffer and say nothing to me." Manola drew her to. Lis side, Stroked her little hands and bent his glanconpon the ground, while aha sought to read his sorrow from bis countenance. , - "I have been too arrogant I, an alien and an unknown man, have boasted that I shall produce an archi tectural wonder, and the first stone I pnt together will not bold. The workmen have lost faith in me, and they are right. Even the earth op poses the stranger. - The prince is wasting lis money, and 'tis said that bo has. angrily intimated as inocb. From every side enemios and enviofiateopie spring op wno"Te. proach tho princo for having trusted m ; I Lave won only shame where I hoped for fame. I know that it is childish, Anna, but sometimes I am infected with the belief of the peo ple that the spot is bewitched." Heavy figbs escaped his bosom, and bo stared before him like one whose brain ia ia-tornieot. ."Ob, what can I do?. What can I suggest?" cried the young wife. Yon T saia Mancla bitterly. "What can yon, frail child, do where we men with wisdom ana strong arms ere helpless? He sprang op and strode restless ly np and down the small room like a oaged lion the whole night And so for many nights. Anna burned many a 11 before the Virgin to . win br a'.d, but in vain. Tbe work did not advance. Manola" pecameu ploerhler every day untirtbe labors era began to fear him. At lust one of them mustered the courage to say: . -'.'Master, there ia an old supersti tion in our country that has often been proved true. If a building will riot stand, a living ierson must be, placed at tho foundation ; then will it last for eternity.." . - Tbe workmen surrounded Manola, eagerly awaiting bis reply to thia daring speech. Ho stared at them, and the veins ujwn his temples swelled, "And whom would yon placo there?" ho finally nskulr The men glanced at one another." ''It must be one who knows noth ing of it," tbey answered. "But who?" "Master, nt noon otjr wives, sis. ters and daughters como to bring us food. Lot it be one of them, "And who will offer bis?" asked Manola looking at them with the flaming eyes' that they had learned to fear. They vere silent. ' t "Well, who?" he queried again. "The first who conies, " came at last timidly from the circle. "Well," cried Manola, "then swear!" - Ho raised his hand. "Then swear - tbe first who comes, no mat ter whose wife, sister or daughter she may bo, shall without dolay or murmur bo immured!" "WeswoBrl" whispered the men. The sun seemed to mount so rap idly to the, zenith that day, and many an eye glanced first toward heaven then into the distance. Not a word was spoken. The men's hearts trerablod. Manola had long stood with down, oast eyes, brooding darkly, , Now he looked up and folt his blood con gealing. There, through the sun shine, enmo a slender form in enow whito raiment; from her dark hair thero floated n filmy, voil ; upon her shoulder sho bore a pitcher; within her hand, a baskot. 'Twas Anna, his young wife. "O God!" ho prayed, "hast thou wholly forsaken mo? Thoti hast in deed punished my arrogance. Ko leaue mo from my oath. I cnr.not do this thing. ' Bid mo not tnerifico my young wife, all that I cun lull c:y own in this etrange lscd, try licppi nets, my lifo! EcvA a tempest that sho may como rp farther !" As ho tittcd npon the i caffold and piavcil he fi.lt that ail eyes v,cre turned coldly r.pcn him, and he knew that he weukl le made to koep hij oath. Then the heavens darkened. From greenibh Lice k clouds ean.e peals of Billion thunder niid vivid sheets of lightning. 'I hire was n roaring and quaking as though the world was in its death struggle.' . A viind arose that bowed the uiightivfct trees and stripped them cf their foliage. Tho men ki-elt i.i-d made tLe tit.n cf the crots, bnt - the young wife eame calmly on, heeding not the tempest. Bhosnw Mauola's figuro upon tho scaffold outlined ngiiiufrt the blaok, liphtniig iticaltd ky, and the has tened her steps toward hiui. "0 Uod!" pleaded he, "now she has reached the brook. Cause it to overflow that sho may not cross it!" And sec, a rain descends as if tho firmament hud opened and every cloud had poured its contents upon the earth. Anna came ccaror. And tbe brook swelled and teamed wild ly. Not even a horse could swim across it Fcr a moment the whole landscape was hidden by the veil of rain. Manola clutched a beam and strove to pierce the vapor with his eager glaueo. 'lhen all was still. Tbe sun shone forth, and look ! Anna baa taken off her shoes, tucked op her ffowu and is wading ibreugb tho roaring flood. Manola stood mo tionloss. His lips were white be neath his dark mustache, as the men who gazd duinLly op at him could seo. . The yonrg wife was now but a few steps away, and she nodded and smiled to him who stood aloft and in whose dark eyes lay the thought, "I had rather the stream bad swal lowed yon than you should gufler this agony." He descended the scaffold, took from Lcr the basket and pitcher and.. eluded. Jier laugh ingly for coming out in ancb wild weather, she wbese approaching motherhood made qniet and comfort so essential. Bbe noted a faint quiv er in his voice and asked if the work was spoiled again.- "Come down and see for youmelf what was rained overnight We are no farther cow than we were : yesterday evening." bbe-wint down and viewed with troubled face the pcola of water, the heaved np earth, the dinplaoed atones. Meanwhile Mane la gave signal, and tbe masons began their work; , . ."Ob,? said Anna. "I am in the way here. Yen most help me, hus band, it ht so high." Andbluebmcly she extended Lcr bsiL He took it not "- , - Stay down there a lilUe longer, w eel beat t You can then see bow quickly the men weik. Besides, tLoy have a fancy that tbe glance of your lovely eyes will make tbe wall throng." Tbo stone bad reached her knees. She looked on smilingly. Kow they Were np to her waist. "Manola," she cried, "now; yea must lift merferitannotget oat of here by myself." : " "Yes, my lovo, when it is time. Just one rooro moment. " . "Manolal The stones crush me. Think of our babe, Manola !" : "Boon, Boon it will bo finished," and with his own band bh laid stone upon stone and urged the mob to work fastor. , "Manola, my breast ' hurts mo. Let not thom build any more." Bnthe answered not. "Manola, let not them cover my month and eyes. I nm so frightened. Manola, where aro yon? Why don't yon speak? Ob, jest not sercfoelly. It will cost my life. Manola, Ma nola!" Just then they laid the last stone over the pretty young head. But tho master made them work on antV on. Noonday was long past, but no one thought of food. Naught was board save impatient calls for brick and lime. Lower sank the sun, yet highor rose the wall. The master swung his trowel with feverish hand and bent forward whenever the cry, "Manola!" came fainter and fainter from below. At last the workmen throw down their tools and declared they would not raise another stone. Night fell. Manola went not home. Like a ghost be wandored to and fro upon the scaffold, wbich reared its4 black rafters to bcaven against the moonlit landscape. Then be strode through' tho fields, but a spell seoui ed to draw him back to the building place. He did not want to listen, yet he did eo, and heard her still calling. Thero,' silvery, cool and still flowed the Argiscb. .- Surely its waters ought to waah' away the sounds that tortured him so. Ho disrobed and stepped into the river, holding bis bead long beneath itu dimpled waves. The water hushed the sou n da But scarcely had he as cended tho bank ere ho board tho calling again. Months passed. The church with its five domes and richly decorated walls began to be a mru-rtl of beauty. Then the work thereon ceusod, for thero v,r.3 no nichcy at hand. Ma nola igcd. Oue passion yet lived in him, ambition, the consuming ambition to which bo bad sacrificed everything. No money. Prince Kongoocne-in bled his coun cilors and asked litem to levy addi tional taxes. Lot tbey shook their beads or.d said tbe country could bear no more. And was that struc ture, tho glory of his reign, the or nament of his kingdom, to roinain unfinished? JnSt then the door opened, and there entored in ell her grandeur and loveliness the Princess Despina, robed in wbito satin, a mautlo of blue brocede, edged with rich sable clasped around' btr snowy throat Over it rippkd her soft brown hair almcbt to her foct. TJpcn her head was a cap of table, from wbich today the diamonds were missing. No bracelets, ntckjace or earrings were visiblo, but a silken veil fell like a spider's web over her slender form. In brr bands she bcre a casket con taining all Lcr Jewels, which she emptied before the princo. Then, shyly, as though about to confess a wrong, tho said, "Take these end ; complete the church; else they shall bo bodowed with the tears of women whose children are suffering of want. " And sho was gone ero the astonished men could reply. Tho church was finished. Rightly wss it called a wonderful structure. Each stone was carved and painted to represent a flower upen a golden ground, and no L lessors was like an other. The domes, the crosses and tbe chains which held tbe orcMnee in placo gleamed with gold like tbe sun itself. Around the roof wero golden doves that held tiny-bolls in their bills, and every scphyr niadp these poal with njarvahyS swt nesa. :- - ' ' - But Prince Nea goo, who so ardent ly wished to see the church cons, pletod, and his faithful Desplna, who Lad given all her possessions for it, Lad long closed their ejee upon (his world, pud their successor, itadu, was a cruel man. All the scaffolds wore removed ex ezoept one small ladder, by wbiob tho prince asoendul to the roof to view elderly every detsil tf the superb work. Manola listened silently to the prsiso bestowed upon him. Kven (be huzzas of tbe admixing u alti tude brought no smile to his face. Hie eyes humcd and glistened from , nights of wskefolne and lever Ian ; thoughts. Prince Kadu had seen everything. "WelL Manola," said bo at last, "would you pledge yoursolf to buihl a second church like this?'' . "Certainly, "answered the master. "Tho sroend should be a thousand times more Leant if ol. Now J realise my power. Uis lace ligbted up as Le saw in LhJ mind hie next splen- . did work. - "In order that that shall sot hap pro," eakl tbe prince, "you a ball abide up here, nrr excellent muter. Your n-eo shall destroy tbe ladder m soon aa I descend. I would sot part tbe master from his work." - 'Manola stood speechless upon tho"! shining roaf ; From the vast multi tudo that afew momeatango shout ed his prnisps arose no word of re monstrance. No band was raised to rescue him. On the contrary, they began , to mutter: "Tho prinoo is right The master is in league with the 'devil. He walled up his wife vritl) bis own band. He deserves the punish mont." Even his own workmen bhid : "We would not have done it. He forcod us to take an oath. He helped wall her in, the poor woman. And she oried to him so piteously. He ia a ornel, wicked man. Has be given us a kind word since that day? And it is to lis that Le owes the comple tion of this building. Lot him starvo up there. He deserves nothing bet ter." Not one pleaded for him. All gazed up with abhorrence at Ibq man who bad begun bis great work In sin that would now be punished with death.' But he stood with fold ed arms and raw the ladder removed, saw ' tho people follow the prince, who mocked him asholefttbeplaoo. He stood thus when night fell and thought of his whole life; his bound' less ambition, to which he bad saori floed his happiness, his lovo, the only boing in this wide unfriendly world that ho. could call his own. Then there seemed to ring faintly from below tbe voice of his beauti ful wife, "Manola, Manola!" Btill - &6game 80ald that ha haunted him sa many nights and robbed him uf sleep. The night was sultry and there was no dew. Liko a flaming disk tbe sun aroso and poured glow ing rays upon the golden roof.' All around the grass withered. Over tho marsh hung a bluisb, ehostlv light. The Argesoh seemed to have ceased to flow. Not oven a gnat stirred in tbo hot air.. Hunger be gan to gnaw at tbo bowels of tho lonoly tun, and thirst, consuming thirst, parrhed lips,- throat and breast Tho next night thero was again no dew. Net the slightest moisture lay upon tho roof. A mar bio stillness was upon everything. On the second day Manola's brain grew giddier and giddier, and he beard Anna's voice louder and clear er calling him as sho did in lifo and as if sho would appear before hiui the next moment Another long night, during which his mind was darkened by fever. He totterod to and fro ppon tbo roof, and wherever he glanced bo beheld Anna beckoning to him. At dawn a soft wind arose and all tho bells began to peal. To the starving man they sounded liko tho voice of his wife. Ho reeled to the roof's odgo, and with tho cry, "I'm com ing; yes, I am coming to youl" oast himself off. Where befell thero sprang up a fountain, but the water was stilly like endlessly flowing tears. Translated From tho Gor man of Carmen eylva, Uuoon of Boumania, For Hbort titorics.

It is hard ly credible that they can do so, as a "water boatman" does, without breaking tho "snrfaco film," but thoy certainly can make a dash for a short distance with their feet on tho water and the wholo of tboir body out of it. In catching insects on the water they rival the dexteri ty of a young partridge on an ant hill.

Costumes they Wear Mow and Couldn't Have Worn Ten Tears ago. - New York has reaohed that degree of cosmopolitaniani at which the most extraordinary of foreign garbs attract little attontion in its streets. Eyen tbe picturesque and onoe abus ed Chinaman can go forth in all his glory without much oomment One of tho most., picturesque of ' this raoe went tip feroadway a few days ago in a manner whipb, ten years back, would have created n small riot of interest and curiosity. He lounged baok in the corner of a brougham with a fat cigar poised at a graceful angle in bis face. . His garments were of the most flowing style and amazing pattern. The ma terial was elegant flowered silk and tbe color dazzling blue. On his head was some sort of ?ar that could hardly bo called either a hat oap or bonnet This also was blue, and be tweep balancing it properly on top of bis curled np cue and keeping the fat oigar tilted at tho proper an glo tho attention of the gorgeous Celestial was pretty well occupied. On the opposite seat sat two Amer icanized Chinamen, short haired, cor rectly clothed and duly ornamented with large watch chains and scarf-1 pins. They appeared to be listening reverontfy to- the remarks wbiob from time to timo tboir companion trilled out in ground and lofty oa denoos. At that particular hour Broadway was busy getting book to business from its lunch and that oarriago loud of Cclostials didn't evon line up people on the curbs to see it go by. Tho only porsons who took more interest in the brilliantly dressed Cbinnraar than was express ed in a brief glance were tho women, A number of them halted and com pared admiring notes as to the silk of his apparel. Tho consensus of opinion was that tbey all would like, some off tho same piece, but that its liko couldn't be found in this ooun try. Very different was tho dres of a Chinaman who paraded on tbe Bow: ery on last Burnley. He, too, bad he appeared ton or even five years ago as he was on Sunday, would have needed police protection. He was a big fellow, over 0 feet tall, a most unusual thing for a Chinaman of low casto, as roost of tbo New York Chinese aro, and his stature was made more imposing by a silk bat of a forgotten style. Furthermore, be worn n long cutaway coat, a fan cy' waistcoat, striped trousers, and patent leather shoes, and his mien was that of a domigod as ho saunter ed along tbe well filled thorough. fare. Imagination pauses powerloss before tbe thought of what would have happened to that hat and its wearer in tbe times wben the Bow. ery was tbo subject of song and sto ry, in Its roformotl state of ths present day it treated that China man almost with deference One might have supposed he owned the place. His fellow countrymen ai ' they passed bowed low, receiving patronizing nods in return. One of thorn, in handsome silk attire, stop pod and fingered tbe big fellow's coat and hat a pparon tly compliment. ing hint upon the beautiful shine on the diagonal of the one and tbs fine furry appearanoe of the other, for he looked much pleased. Even the policemen on tbe corners nodded affably as he passed, and one of them said to an inqairer: "Him? W'y, be's one of tbo biggest politi cians in Chinatown."- T Od -1 Bvwrd Cera. .
