One afternoon, as the golden sun cast
ils rays for that day on the ealtn hluc
waters of the Ray of Naples, a little hoat
glided ii ron tul a bond in the bay. On its
prow was seated a beautiful girl of six
teen summers; golden curls clustered
around her fair brow, arid looking into
her eyes one was reminded of a pair of
brilliant sapphires. She was clothed in
homespun, but this did not detract from
r beauty. The little boat was rowed
deftly to the shore and she alighted bo-
fore a fisherman's outlaw. As she ad.
vaneed toward the cottage two little boys
came running out, crying gleefully, "Come,
sister Catharine; supper is ready," and
taking a hand of each child she entered
the cottage. A womau of forty years, who
was occupied in pouring out tea for her
husband, a mean looking m m, as Cath
arine and the two boys entered, raised
her head and said, sternly: "Catharine,
uever stay out as late as this agaiu." With
out replying, Catharine iuietly took her
seat at (he table.
Antonia Lavretta, for such was the
fisherman's name, was a pool but hard
working man; often he returned home
with a sad heart, for he did not always
find ready sale for his fish.
II.
One moruing in July, a gentleman,
clad in a black velvet suit of clothes,
wearing a velvet hat trimmed with white
ostrich plumes, sprang lightly from his
horse in front of the castle of Charles V
of Spain. He asked the chamberlain,
who had come to the door in response to
his knock, if Dou Carlos could see his
majesty the king; the chamberlain with
a polite bow conducted him into the pres
ence of the king. As Don Carlos enter
ed, Charles arose from his throne, and,
advuueing toward him with great eager
ness, said, as his black eyes danced with
joy: "I am so glad to see you, Don Car
los; do you bring mo good news?" "Yes,"
said Carlos, "I have news that will mako
your heart beat with delight." As he p jk ;
those words, he looked suspiciously at
Alfoiiio do Cerda, the king'a brother,
who stood by the throne with several oili
er lords. Charles saw this, and waved
his hand lo them and they retired. As
soon as the lords had iiuitte 1 the room,
Don Carlos proceeded lo tell the kiug of
the discoveries he had made. "As I was
sitting," ho said, "in a cafe one night
last week iu Naples, taking a bottle of
wine, two lough-looking men entered
and ;it down at the table next to me,
and after drinkin g a great many hollies
of wine, they became very much intoxi
cated. The s)berer o:ie said to the others,
An'onio, how do you make enough
money to keep from suffering? 1 ou

port, an I I, who have only myself lo
ike care for, have to struggle fur the
bare necessities of life.' Antonio, laugh
ing loudly, replied: 'Alfonso de Cerdi,
the brother of Charles V ol Spain, stole
his daughter, the little Princess Catha
rine, so that after the death of Charles he
could take possession of the throne iu
place of her. This All'ouso caine to It
ly to get a fisherman lo adopt the lilt'e
princess as his child. He offered to pay
me one hundred and fifty pieces a year
I would take care of her and
uever let her father know that she lived.
accepted the offer without hesitation '
After he had finished speaking, the two
men tell the caie. i tollowtu them
long tho streets; at last we reached the
shore of the bay where a little boat lay
anchored; the men sprang into and be
gan rowing across the Btreaiu. I secur. d
a boat which lay near by and rowed after
them. When turived on the opposite
side they alighted quickly and made
their way toward a cottage, Antonio en
tered here, but the other man went iutj
a cottage near by."
Wheu Carlos had concluded his alory,
Charles uttered an exclamation of de
ght. "Oh! Carlos," he exclaimed
"words canuot express my gratitude; it
fills me with inexpressible delight to learn
that my dear daughter still lives."

On a txautiful bright afternoon, th

boat, painting. He watched her until
the boat disappeared, and then resumed
his work with such inteut that he did
not talehiseycs up for fully thirty niiuutei.
When he raised his head, he uttered an
exclamation of surprise, for the clouds

gan scanning the bay to see if he could
discover her whereabouts; to his horror,
he beheld the boat in which she had been
rowing overturned and she struggling in
the waves. He eagerly scanned his eyes
along the shore, trying to sec a hoat in
which he might rescue her. He was
rewarded with the sight of one anchored
a short distance from him. Willi the
rapidly of the wind he dashed down a
little winding cliff path until he arrived
at the water's edge, leaping into ihe boat,
he seiied the oars aud began rowing with
superhuman effort toward the place of
accident; minutes seemed like hours; she
was sinking for the third and last lime
when he caught her iu his arms. Words
cannot desciibc that pathetic scene.
How noble he looked as he leaned over
her lovelv face, which he thought would
never bo lighted up with smiles agaiul
The angry waves seemed as if they were
going to destroy the frail craft. At last
they reached the shore. Cathaiino was
si ill unconscious, and had to be earned
by the young man iuto the cottage. An
tonio met them at the door with fear
written on his face; restoratives were at
once applied which proved successful.
The young man who had acted so he
roically was the son of King Henry IV
of England. Being fond of painting, he
had escaped from court disguised as a
painter. He was such a jolly young
prince that he acquired the name of Mad
cap Harry. Ilehad been absent from Eng
land for two months and would have re
turned homo in a few weeks, if the
the uccident which wo have mentioned
had not taken place. Rut the sight of
Catharine had iiispired him with love
and he could not tear himself away from
her gracious presence. They met sev
eral limes after the accident. Catharine,
who had hitherto felt like a child was
fast blooming into womanhood; all of her
instincts were aroused and she returned
his love. In the meantime Don Carlos
and several other lords of Charles' court
were prepariug to rescue her. Harry
induced Catharine to sit for her potrait
Their favoiite resort was two rocks eov
covcred with velvety moss situated ou
the top of the cliff. As she was silling
for the last time, one cool morning in the
latter part of July, a large sail boat
touched the shore, and six richly-dressed
gentlemen disembarked therefrom and
hurriedly ascended the cliff. As they
ncared Catharine she turned her head.
With a cry of delight one of the gentle
men sprang forward and caught her in
bis arm, aayiug, "Dear little Catharine, I
am so happy to find you." With a great
deal of wonder, Catharine said: "What
docs this mean?'' Then Carlos explain
ed all; told her how she had been stolen
by Alfonso and adopted by a fisherman.
When he had finished siieakini:, she
lanced around in tho direction of Harry;
there he stood, breathless with amaze
ment. The fisherman and his wife,
aroused by tho noise, came to the door
of the cottage to see the cause of it.
What was their dismay when they beheld
them talking lo Catharine. Carlos
stepped forward and said: ' We have
come for Catharine, whom we desire shall
return with us to Spain, and I am in
structed by King Charles V of Spain
lo pardon you for the anxiety you have
aused h!m." They then hastened lo
embark upon their boat and set sail for
Spain. They had a delightful and event
ful voyage. When they reached the
castle, ihey were met in the courtyard
by Charles and Isabella, his queen, and
his retinue of lords aud servants. When
Isabella and Charles saw their daughter,
ihey embraced her, saying: "My dar
ling Catharine, it has been twelve loug,
weary years since you were stolen from
us." They had been so much occupied
wilh their daughter, that they had not
uoliced she young prince. Catharine
saw his viubarrasaiucut at being left un
noticed aud went up to liiui ami said:
Come and be presented to my father and
mother " The young prince conducted
himself wilh such grace and diguity as to
excite admiration from tho king and
lueen. Catharine told iheui how he
had been instrumental iu saving her
life. Prince Harry then spoke, sating:
I love Culharine and wish to make her
my wife. I suppose you think me pre
sumptuous to ask for the hand of a
princess, while I am only a poor artist;
but I am not what I preleud Iu he. I
am Harry of England, the son of Henry
IV." Every one stood dumb with
s iisT.emeut. Charles was the first lo
break ihe silence. "You are entitled to
my daughter," he said, after having acted
so nobly in saving her life. Charles
then ordered his minister to write a let
ter lo King Henry, asking him In come
to Spain to be present at Harry aud
Catharine nuptials. Heury was very
much surprised at this announcement
tor he and Charles bad been deadly en
emits for several years. The cause of
this was, that Henry and Charles both
claimed that a small island in the Medi
terranean belonged to them. Charles
said lhat the pope had given it to him;
Hi nry cuutended lhat il had been given lo
him, and it ended by the pope keeping it
for himself. Henry was delighted with
he idea of again becoming friends with
Charles, for he was very fond of him.
Tho marriage was celebrated w'tli great
p mp and ceremony in the church of San
Isidor. Catherine looked lovely in

Mr. Robert Edwards, a salesman for

saw on July last. He is a man of about
fifty yeais of ago, well educated and
well known in Methodist circles of
this city, and is also well known as a
public lecturer. He was born in Sweden.
"It was on July 15th last," said Mr.
Edwards, "I retired at my usual li-mr.
I don't exactly know what time I awoke,
but it was suddenly. I tried to move,
but found It impossible. 1 I net! to

seemed to be a while mist before my eyes;
but this giadually cleared away, and the
ceiling was one mass of while, glistening
clouds. On top of the clouds there was
a white nierble palace. I know of no
building to which I can compare it; there
seemed to be no limit to its size. I saw
Our Saviour, dressed in white, surrounded
by multitude! of angels. They were all
praising the Saviour, but no two spoke
the same language, yet I seemed to un
derstand them all. All at once my spiiit
left my body ami seemed to float toward
them. I begtiu to pray in my native
tongue, a thing I have not done iu forty
years.

coming, but they all repeated at once, 'Olo

From Hie Kansas rily Times.
Piesident Cleveland was fond of a joke
so much so lhat he found himself com
pelled from time lo time to repress his
disposition in ibis regard. One of the
best incidents in this line occurred when
Congressman Liwlcr brought forwaid
for introduction, simply lopayhis nspeets
one of his constituents, an o!d diameter
from Chicago, ex-Alderman Pal Sands,
who had accumulated a large fortune iu
the plumbing line and loaning money at
Shvloek rates of interest.. The ex alder
man loved his hotud like a miser, and,
appreciating the situation, Mr. I.awler
called I be president aside, saying: "I
want you to have a li.tle fun with my
friend here. He is a democrat and a
very wealthy man, but holds on to it
strongly. Just ask him to loan you
?IIH,II0() aud observe the consequences."
Mr. Cleveland at once "caught on," aud
when Mr. I.awler presented Mr Sands iu
glowing rhetoric as one of the most en
terprising and patriotic adopted sons of
Chicago, the president grasped his hand
warmly. After ihe usual compliments
had passed, the president drew the cx
alilerman aside and said: "Alderman, I
am delighted to meet you, and I want
you to do me a great favor !"
"A favor is il?" innocently replied
Mr. Sands, I'll be greatly honored, Mr.
President, if you'll only name it, and
Put Sands is your man."
"Well," coutinued the president, in
the most confidential maimer, "I can't
tell my private business to everybody, but
as you are a good democrat, and the
friend of my friend Congressman I.aw
ler, I don't mind speaking freely to you.
You see I got married a few mouths ago,
and the expenses were very heavy. I
must of course, keep up appearances, be
ing the first democratic president elected
in a quarter of a century, aud the fact is
I'm hard up just at present. My salary
is $50,1111(1 a year, and it's all spent.
Now I want you to loan me SIOU.'HIO,
say for a couple of years at 7 per cent,
and help me out of my trouble. You
can spare me that small amount without
missing it.
Totally unprepared for any such de
maud, Pat Sand's jaws dropped asunder
and his eyes bulged out to the size of a
Bermuda onion. lie essayed to speak,
but in vain. He looked first one side
and then the other, and the scene be.
came so ludicrous lhat both the resi
dent and Congressman Lawlcr could
hardly ctnlain tlnuiselvis. Tie effict
was just what Lawlcr expected, for the
ex alderman was greatly shocked; the
veins of his forehead rotruded, and he
seemed to he ou tho verge of au apoplec
tic stroke at being asked to give up $10(1,
1100 even to the prcsidmt. I'mible lo
longer stand the pressure the el alderman
rushed fuiward, and seizing Mr. Lawlcr
by the coat tail, he dragged him toward
Ihe door, crying .
' Lawlcr, let's get out of this ! Ureal
(Jod, man! Did you ever hear the like
of lhat? A hundred thousaud dollai." !
Why, it would just ruin me forever!"
Mr. Lawlcr allowed himself to be
dragged away, while President Cleveland,
although keenly enjoying the joke, was
evidently alarmed at the terrible effect il
had produced. The ex aldermau never
stopped to tuke breath until he was out
of the white house grounds and safe on
Penusylvauia avenue. Hurrying to
Willard's hotel, he hastily packed his
gripsack, paid his bill, and made for the
railn ad depot, notwithstanding the J ro-
teslations of Mr. I.awler, who endeavored
vainly to explain that the whole affair
was a joke. Mr. Sands was not to be
appeased nor mollified, replying;
"I'm off' for Chicago by the first train,
mid don't you forget il. Anil I'll not
come to Washington again to pay my re
spects to all the dimocratic presidents
that ever lived. Durn them all. Why
did you tell the president thai I was a
