Well, there was nothing remarkable in this, at least to Chips, as be was often hungry. .His bill, of fare for the day ran thus : For break fa9t one bone, with crusts; dinner, nothing; supper, ditto j dessert, moralising reflec tions. Tou see, the remarkable tact would have chanced had he not been hungry. When Chips was thus carnivorously, disposed he became exalted in rank, the height of bis position depending upon the keenness of bis appetite. If he was mod erately hungry, he was a lord ; if hungrier, be became a duke ; at the very hungriest -; a prince. At this epoch be was a prince. j When in this state Prince Chips often held imaginary conversations with invisible individuals, wherein be was expected te be answering such queetions as "Will your lordship deign to partake of this salad X or, "Will your royal highness condescend to accept this mutton f" with the genera answer, spoken in ail complaisance, "Nd, thank you, ntf good fellow, I have snfi .:nAH AIkiaAV -- i " .. ... . .

" And again "Afler might growl, but Old Jacl wouldn't let up on bis toes all the same.". In addition to being a prince Chips was ulso a philosopher. Every morning his( royal highness emerged from bis palace with his implements of trade bis box aud brushes. "A prince blacking boots !' J you exclaim, in wonaer. vveii, way not r. When it pleases our noble lords of the present day to metamorphose themselves into staeendrivers cannot a prince, with equal right.be a bootblack ? Kvery evening be returned to his palace and bed of straw. "Straw !" you cry. Well, why not again T A few centuries ago royal personages received visitors of state sitting upon rushes. It was merely a revival of ancient customs. Chips was not "to the manor born," that is, be bad not always rejoiced in a title. He could remtm'ber a time once when be had slept under a roof and washed his face. Far off? Ob, very far off ; down among the shadows of that strange distant past he could dimly trace a ray of light. It was the thought of a gentle face that bad once bent over him eyes within their light of love shining into bis ; lips with a tender curving whispering low, "My son." He fancied that be remembered some times, how a strange white pain had set tled upon the face, bow the brightness io the eves had been but the gleam of tears, and ths smile upon the lips became sadder than any sight ' He was act quite sure of this, however. Jt might have been but a fancy , of bis, but there was one thing that he remembered well : A picture of a dar kened raom, and a face resting upon pil lows whose whiteness was not Rnrer, and a voice crying out, Taint yet strong In its iote'mity of emotion .: "11 y boy, prcCpjise me-me, your mother dying that you will never, never take what is not yours!" And seeing dimly the clouds that rested above him, and awed by the shadow wings that covered near, he had promised. The vow stood out amid the bewildering chaos like a star that shines among the suniber clouds of a oitdjuigfcl sky, and be had kept it ever. Now to-day jt was not alpne the bill of fare that troubled Cbipa.

So we will if we do not make baste. What can be the-matter with Mr.. Christopher 5! em jus? Chips does not sit long on the old stone steps. Somehow he seems growing reck He thinks he will go "home." Alas, the pitiful word ! There--no. He wiJl go j-back down Broadway, be thinks, and so he comes now down the street. Here is the restaurant at whose window he stood an hour ago.

The man with his back to him seems com fortable. "He's a swell un," mutters the prince to himself ; "he's" with a sudden thought of happy compromise "et two dinners." The man turns about. Chips sees his face and recoils. What sadder sight does the world hold than the despair of a human face.

' Oaly a ftiw weeks," muttered the man 'but a few more weeks and I could safe ly tide It over, but now" Something comes to him j'ust here, something that causes him to start and recoil with a shiver of horror, but some thing that keeps coming and coming and coming.
