Passion urged hill) for ward, bill pride held him buck, for Leopold was a proud man, IIml to have bis love thrown in his lace was to re CClVO an ley douche with (lie blood at fever boat. Kor this girl's sake hu had In (i few days changed tho habits of a lifetime. Pride, reserve, self control, tho wish not only to appear but to bo a man nbovo the frailties of common men, tho ambition to bo placed and worthily placed on a pedestal by his subjects - nil these he bad thrown away for Helen Mowhray. He was >o just a man not to admit that If one of his royal cousins of younger branches had contemplated such folly as this he would have done Ids best to nip that folly while It was In bud. "lie jests at sears who never felt a wound," and until Leopold had learned by his own uillooked for ex perience what love can nn an, what men will do for love while the sweet madness Is oil them, he would have bceu Utterly unable to understand the state of mind. A cousin Inclined to net as bo was now belli on acting would but n month ago have found all the emperor's Influ ence, even force perhaps, brought to bear in restraining him, Leopold saw the CbnilgO in himself, was startled nnd shamed by it. Nevertheless lit) , would have persevered, trampling down every obstacle that roso in his way, if only the girl had seen things . with his eyes. She had accused him of Insulting her, not stopping to consider that even to make her lliorgfl na l lea lly his WlfO I be must give great cause for com- l plaint not only to his ministers, but to bis peoplo, for bo was expected to marry a girl of royal blood that the country might have an heir. If Helen 1 Mow bray bad accepted tho position ho Offered her, he could never have, bro- : ken her heart by making another mar riage, j Not only would it be difficult In these days to lind a princess willing to toler ate such a rival, but It would have been impossible for him to desecrate the bond between himself and the one adored woman. Tliis being the ease, with Helen Mowbray as ins morganatic wife, there could be no direct heir to tho throne. At his death the son of his uncle, the Archduke Joseph, would succeed, and during his life the popu larity which was dear to him would be hopelessiy forfeited. Khaotla would never forgive him for selfishly prefer ring his own private happiness to the good of the nation. He could fancy how old Iron Heart von Breltstein WOllld present this point of view to him with fierce cloqtioticc, temples throbbing like tin? ticking of n watch, eyes netted with bloodshot veins. Mut, on the other band, he could picture himsolf landing calmly to faco tho storm, steadfast In his own indomitable will, happy with love to uphold him. But now tho will Which had borne dim through life In a triumphal march had been powerless against that of this young girl. She would have none of him. A woman whoso face was her fortune, whose place In life was hard ly as high as the fust step of a throne, bad refused- tin Olliporor! Hardly COUld Leopold believe the thing that had happened to him. Ho find spoken of doubting that he had won her love, and ho bad doubted. Hut he had allowed himsolf to hope, becauso he had COllfldonco In his star and because perhaps It bad scarcely been known in the annals of history that an emperor's suit should be ro pnlsed. BOSldOS, he had loved the girl so pas slonately that It seemed sin; could not remain cold. And he hoped still that when she had passed a long night in reflection, in thinking over the situa tion, perhaps taking counsel with that comparatively commonplace yet prac tical little lady, her mother, she might be ready to change her mind. For the first few moments after the Btluglng rebuff he had endured Leo pold felt that if she did It would be her turn to suffer, for lie could never hum ble himself to Implore for (he second time. Hut as he stood in flic soft silli ness of the uiglit, gazing toward the lights of the house, thoughts of Vir ginia- her youth, her sweetness, her beauty dimmed with grief overwhelm < d him. COUld he have reached her he would bftVS fallen on bis knees and kissed her gown. By ami by a vast tenderness breath ed its cnbn over the thwarted passion in his breast, and (dans to win her back came w hispering In his ear. He would wrlto a letter and send It to her room. Hot. no; perhaps It WOUld l>e wise to give her n longer Interval for roflectlOU and, It might be, regret. To morrow he would see her and Khow nil the depths of that great love which she bed thought to throw away. She could not go on withstanding htm for ever, and, now that he had burned his boats behind blm, he would never think of turning back. He would per severe till she should yield. Meanwhile Virginia had hurried blindly toward the house, and It was Instinct rather than intention that led her to the open window of the music room, by which she had come out. Tears burned her eyelids, but they did not fall until she stood once more In tin? room where she and Leopold had been happy togethor. There she had sat at the piano, and he had bent over her lOVC In Ids eves?honest love, she had thought, her heart full of thanksgiving. How little she had guessed then the humiliation In store for her and the end of all her hopes! How could she bear her pain, and how. could she go on living out her life? She paused In the window niche, looking lido the room through n mist of tears, and a sob choked her. "Cruel, cruel!" she whispered. "What agony, what an Insult!" 'then, dashing nwny her tears, slio pushed back the dark curtains and would have passed on Into the room had not the quick gesture brought her arm Into contact with the buttons and gold braid on a man's breast. Instantly she realized that some one was hiding there, some one dressed In a military coat, and her first linpulso was for (light, anything to escape un recognized. But on second thoughts she changed her mind. Whoever It was had In all probabili ty hidden himself for the purpose of spying and was already nwnre that Miss Mowbray had rushed into the house weeping after a tete-a-tete with the emperor In the garden. Perhaps ho had even caught a word or two of her Robbing ejaculation. No; she must not run away and leavo the outcome of this affair to chance. She must seo with whom sbo had to deal that she might know what was best to do. SllO had taken a step Into the room, but quick ns light she turned, pulled away the screen of curtains and faced Captain von Hreltsteln. It was a trying moment for him, and the girl's look stripped him of all his light audacity. She had come to the window by a different path from the one be had watched; therefore she had taken him unawares beforo he had time to escape, as lie had planned. He was caught fairly nod must savo him self ns best ho could without prepara tion. If her reproach forestalled his ex cuse he was lost. lie must step Into the breach at whatever risk. There was no time to weigh words. lie must let looso the first that sprang to his lips. "I see what you think of me," ho said. "1 see you think I was watching you. I swear I wasn't, though I knew you were In the garden with?the em peror. Wait?you must listen. You must hear my Justification. I was sent to this room to fetch you. For your sake, how could I go back and Bay you bud disappeared- together? I looked out into the garden and saw you with him. I saw from J(pur man ner that- he had made yon suffer. I was half mad with rage, guessing - guessing something which one word you let drop ns you cany; In told me had happened, lie Is my sovereign, but-he has Insulted you. Let me bo your knight, as In days of old. J.ot nie defend you, for I love you. 1 waited here to tell you this as you came, so that If you would wo might announce an engagement"? If Virginia's eyes had l>een daggers he would have fallen at her feet pierc ed to the henrt. For one loug second Mic looked at him without speaking, her face eloquent. Then she went by him with the proud bearing of a queen. Rgon was stricken dumb. Dully he watched her move across the room to a door which led into a corridor. He heard the whisper of her satin dress and saw the changing lights and shad ows ou its creamy folds under the crystal chandeliers; ho saw the white reflection, like a spirit, mirrored deep linder the polished surface of the floor. Never had she been more beautiful, but she was beautiful In his eyes no longer. lie had hurt her pride, but sho had stabbed his vanity, and to wound Egon VOO DroltStoln'8 vanity was to strike nt his life. He hated the girl, hated her so sharply that his nerves j ached with the Intensity of his hatred, I and the only relief tie could have would bo through reprisal. He had not been able to deceive her. She knew that he had l>cen spying, and It v as fortunate for his future, ho realized already, that sho had broken with the emperor, He must do all ho could, and do it quickly, to prevent a reconciliation lest sho should work him Injury. As for his hastily stammered pro posal, it was a good thing that the girl had not taken him nt his word, for tho ehnncellor hnd not given him permission to speak, and If she hnd accepted him he might have had to WrlgglO, out of Ids engagement.

CHARGE TO JURY BY NOTED JUDGE Emminent Representative of Judiciary Assigns Whisky as Cause of Crime. Tulsa, I. T., Dec. 12.- Judge Louis Sulzbacher, presiding in the Western district of the United States court for Indian Territory, held court last week at Sapulpa for the first time since his appointment. His charge to the grand jury is considered as one of the most remarkable documents overissued from the bench of the territory. The charge is extraordinary because of his striking dramatic manner in which it was deliv ered and the great scope of crimes specified in its text. The court called especial attention to the increase in crime, and especially did he show the terrors done while per sons were under the influence of liquor The following is the temperance lecture delivered in the charge: "Intemperance is one of the most de testable vices cast upon the human family, and any law prohibiting the use of intoxicants should be welcomed and supported in a community of peaceful citizens to their utmost. Crimes have been committed by these excesses, and the annals of statistics establish the la mentable certainty that* the origin of crime in most casts was caused by the turbulence of inebriation. "Homes were made destitute; life became unbearable to the faithful wife and to the devoted mother, and children were given a horrid example. Prison cells were filled and the gallows exhib ited its most terrific spectacle. Carry out and apply this law to its farthest and you will be considered as benefac tors of this commonwealth. "At the recent term of court at Mus kogee I was present at a murder trial which exhibited a crime of which hu manity at this age should be Spared. The times of torturo or torment, to which we, at the present stage of civil ization and enlightenment look back with horror and consternation were re produced. "A man a human being - returned to his home, to his fireside, at a late hour; to the place where love and kind ness and affection should dwell. He beat his defenseless wife and struck his harmless children. Their screams, their tears, their entreaties but increased his anger. "He seized a can filled with coal oil, saturated the clothes and the person of the companion of his life with that combustible substance, the body of the person to whom he swore before the I altar of his Cod to love and to defend ' and protect, nnd in a manner that deli-1 cacy causes me to refrain from depict ing, that monster ignited that holpl IS human creature. "Imagine the despair, the shrieks of that suffering woman ; the grief and the distiess of tlie powerless babes, who had to witness that brutality. "The very fire would have relented ' its terror had not superior laws of ma ture controlled its course. Tito very flashes had they possessed voice woul i have implored that monster to <? gutsh their fury, but there stood wretch enraged and infuriated holding that helpless woman's frame until tho last glimmerings died out, leaving one of God Almighty's creatures with its flesh parched, charred and black. As. black as the heart and soul of the mon ster who committed that diabolical ac! of cruelty. "To kill, to torture one who received his caresses, one who bore the childr? n to whom he gave existence, i-i more than mortal man can reconcile. "The woman died after several days of endurance of anguish and excrucia ting pain. Whiskey, drink and intoxi cation was the sole factor of this horrid crime. There was no doubl the man was drunk. He was ably defended, and rarely during a long life of experience did I listen to a more ardent plea for a client, and his plea was that the stafc of his intoxication was to such an ex traordinary degree that he had lost all reason. Such conditions are to some extent a defense, but, be this as it may, banish liquor, prevent its sale and in troduction, and no such pleas need lie made and your criminal dockets will bo reduced. "Recall this dream of reality when you go to your jury room and when cases incidental to the offense are pre sented to you bear in mind thai it was not fiction what I have told you; not even realistic fiction, but reality."

I drawing in the Summer school hoi ? has prepared an interesting article f The Advertiser on the importance of! teaching drawing in our schools. She says: So many people have the wrong im pression of the uses of drawing in our i public schools. They seems to think that its only aim is to make a pretty drawing or picture and its educational value ends there. How little do i\ realize that it is one of the fundamen tal studies, and it is just as important in the development of a child's life and mind in fields of usefulness as number and language work. Drawing is one ot the oldest and plest ways of expressing thought. It. j is a language that is common to ail na tions and has been from time immemo rial. It was the principal medium used by the ancient Egyptians in handing down to tho present generation their ideas and customs. One of its chief aims in public school work is to Ii !?? the child gain and express ideas nnd thoughts through drawing as well as by language. It is much easier for a child to gel knowledge by seeing from than by !:? ar ing about it. If a toachor Iris a good knowledge of drawing and can mnko a picture of what he or she wishes to teach or represent, the child can grasp it much more readily than by tell! ? him of the same in words. 'Tis sad but true that there is a \ ful lack of skill on the side of the above average teacher of today in the use of drawing. The writer has talked with teachers throughout this fair Southland and the complaint comes from all that they cannot draw, but feel the need of same so badly in every line of their school work; all say it. would be so j much easier for them to tea h if they could only draw, What is the cause and how can '.hi;: deficiency in our education be overcome? j The principal reason is that teachers 1 have not been trained to draw as they have been trained to read and write. If the same attention had been given to their drawing as to other studies they would bo just as skillful In the one as the other, for drawing is the natural medium through which a child ex presses his ideas. The picture of tho idea appeals to all children. The r<im cdy: Let us see to it that the rein;1, generation of today does not miss nor neglect this all-important step in their education, for tho children of today will be our men and women of tomor row. Aside from the skill tho child gains in the use of his hands and mind to work simultaneously. Drawing, above all other studios, helps to develop the per ceptive quulities of the child?as to form, size, weight, color, observation and the creative faculties, as original ity, constructiveness and ideality, and last lau not least, the highest of all? the (esthetic or love of the beautiful in ai l and nature- and thereby brings one into a closer touch with Him who made all things for our pleasure and happiness. L ' us consider some of the uses of drawin, in our everyday life outside of liool room. Suppose we discard iwing from the United States. Do you realize that all manufacturing would cease, also all building, from our grcal railroads to the common little cabin? For every manufactured arti cle, and even the machinery on which they are made, must be planned and draw", ere 'tis manufactured, and the same i < true of railroads and houses be fore they are built. 'The inventor al ways oxpresses the ideas of his inven tion in drawing ere he has it patented. have often said Iiqw drawing Ipa them in the making of the plan of teeth for their patients. It is a great help '.?> nurses and doctors in studying construction of the body and also in making sketches of the fractured parts of some of their patients for fu turo reference. And things that ap peal strongly to the feminine sex styles the laiest m gown and millinery must 1k> designed and drawn ere they are given to the public. Drawing helps in every profession and walk of life and one can readily see li a knowk dge of same would open new avenues to success in a financial way which would otherwise be denied one deficient in this branch. fi Speedy Cure for Constipation, biliousness, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Liver Complaints, Tired Feeling, Had Taste in M . , Had Complexion, Nervousness and all <ii scase i f the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. ?' rjluodlnc l.lver Pills M gently, yet th iroughly upon the bowels, liver, and digestive organs, 'the pills, in old ?id uh nlcc.i cs of constipation and Indigestion, >, without griping, nor do they leave any lip] . . : after-effects, nor form a constant habit ... , produced by other cathartic remedies. ? ; l lodino Liver Pills " ? the deranged and torpid liver to its normal Icon ni nd healthful action.
