Living in my neighborhood was a man whom ' I . hadn't much use for, and it was known we were not friends, though we were on . speaking terms and had some business relations. Our town was about three miles from the railroad station, and one November evening, just about sunset, as I was coming to town afoot, I met him walk ing to the station. 1 j - v "He stopped me, much to my sur prise, (and asked me if I had any money, because if I had he would sell me his watch for almost nothing as he was going to the city unexpectedly and needed bash.

The next : move was to make a few inquiries of the stranger as to how 'he came into possession of the money.

Queen Marguerite's devotion to Wag nerian music, which '. is attributable to the fact that she received her education in GermanyL is a source of sorrow to her husband,; who, like King Leopold of Belgium, simply abominates music, for which he has no ear whatsoever, and which has the effect of putting his teeth on ledge.
