"Oh! deax me, I forgot to give TUDOR WIL- LIAMS' BALSAM OF HONEY to my children before they retired to bed. I am certain tkey will COUGH ALL NIGHT WITHOUT rr. There is nothing on the face of the earth equal to it; thoroughly up-to-date." In this damp and changeable climate Coughs ai-j. Colds are almost certain at some time I during the winter to visit every household in I the land. It would, therefore, seem only a wise precaution to keep on hand a bottle of TUDOR WILLIAMS' BALSAM OF HONEY ready for immediate use. Pleasant, soothing, healing, and a splendid tonic, it is certainly without any equal for the prevention and cure of troublesome coughs and in all throat and lung affections. Moreover, it does what no simple cough remedy will do-it promotes appetite, aide digestion, increases weight, and l builds up the bealth-aud strength generally. It contains no opiate or other narcotic, and -is-perfcrrry ^Te mnTorTneTy&aag^rififafltfi. I am constantly receiving reports from all parts of the kingdom attesting its remarkable power to relieve and cure troublesome coughs. IT IS PRESCRIBED BY THE MEDICAL PRO- FESSION, and USED in the LEADING HOS- PITALS THRONGHOtJT THE WORLD. BALSAM OF HONEY Contains PURE WELSH HONEY and an essence of the purest and most efficacious Herbs on the Hills of Wales, being gathered in the proper season, when their virtues are in full perfec- tion. tioA n. STIPENDIARY AND A MAGISTRATE IN THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN REMARKS:- "I feel it my duty to inform you that I have been using your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey in my family, which is a large one, for many years, and kave proved its great value, having used nothing else for Cough during Measles. Whooping Cough, and Bronchitis, and can highly recommend it to all parents for such oomplaints." Try it: you will not regret 1t. it. BD YOU GET THE GENUINE ERTICLE.

THE RED CHANCELLOR.
THE RED CHANCELLOR. I A ROMANCE, By SIR WILLIAM MAGNAY, Bart., i Author of The Heiress of the Season," The Man-Trap," The Pride of Life," &c. CHAPTER I. Duke Johann's Chapel, "Von Orsova is playing a dangerous game." "He takes the risk." "Of what?" It was I who asked the qnes- tion, curious to hear what penalty attached ta the handsome Rittmeister's temerity. The three men gave glances at each other, as though inquiring which of them could answer. My friend Von Lindheim broke the pau'!e, replying with a shrug- "He is a captain of cavalry, Master of the ] Forse; a gentleman, noble, no doubt, by birth, but a simple, if magnificent, Eitt- i meister. The lady"-he glanced round toward the dark shadows of the trees, gave another shrug of caution and lowered his voice—"is what we all know. To couple their names is high treason; and, a fortiori, it is treason in a higher degree tor the Bursche to aspire." "Is there—is there no other way jI" "We have not forgotten," another said, "the case of poor Steiner." I saw they were not inclined to run risks by discussing State secrets under the very walls of the palace, so postponed the grati- fication of my. curiosity until I should get Von Lindheim alone in my rooms or his house. We four had slipped out into the gardens, to snatch ten minutes for a cigarette from the rather dreary formality of a State Ball at the Palaoe of Buy da. My three companions were guests in their official capacities, being attached to the bureau of the world-known Chancellor Rallenstein; I, Jasper Tyrrell, a mere traveller, through the friendly offices of Von Lindheim, to whom I had an introduc- tion. I had gone abroad in a restless, roving frame of mind, ready for any adventure and heartily sick of the monotony of inaction, forced inaction, very slightly relieved by the problematical fun of entertaining big shooting parties at my place in Norfolk. That seemed all I had to look forward to in the year, and the more I thought of my autumn programme the more restless and discontented had I grown. Even the temporary diversion of marriage, strenuously commended to me by certain not altogether disinterested friends, had failed to take hold on my fancy; amuse- pients of that sort can be arranged at any time and at comparatively short notice, and perhaps it is not unreasonable in the man who is led to sacrifice himself to make a society holiday to wish to postpone the inevitable on the chance of accepting his fate with a better grace later on. So one night at dinner, dur- ing which several friends and relations were good enough to map out a very pretty six months' programme for me—and themselves, my resolution was taken, and before I had got into bed that night my kit for an extended solitary ramble was packed. Next day I made a bolt of it, leaving to an aetute aunt full authority, by letter, to carry on Sharnstone in my absence, and after a month's desultory progress found myself at Buyda. A generation ago there were, as every student of European diplomacy knows, some very curious political intrigues (we know more about them now) in several of the Courts of Europe. More or less secret acts of aggressive statesmanship were perpetrated which, had they not been diplomatically covered up or explained away, would have seemed to set the forces of civilisation to right-about-face. But the press, like speech, often serves, in some countries at any rate, to withhold rather than to give out information, while special corres- pondents are mostly acclimatised and often merely human. oull there wae somewhere, in east central Europe for choice, a chance of seeing some- thing of life a little more adventurous than the cricket field or the covert at home had to offer, and with young blood in one's veins, a perfect digestion, a muscular system second to none at Angelo's, the idea of a possible running into adventures is not displeasing. The dull smoothness and security of a well- polioed continuity is monotonous to a man of spirit. Such were the vague anticipations with which I set forth, but my imagination cer- tainly never suggested such a series of adven- tures as that which I was to pass through before I got back. I had purposely left my destination un- certain, even to my own mind. In the true spirit of adventure I would be bound by no fixed route, but let my fancy and the circum- stances of the moment carry me whither they would. Only one indication of any sort of purpose did I take with me. That wae a letter of introduction from an F.O. friend to an old school-fellow of his. Gostav von Lindheim, a rich young fellow who had been educated in England, and who now held a post in the Chancellery of his native State. It wu in that corner of Europe that something of 8A adventure seemed most likely to be had. and. it was there, to pass over my earlier wander- ings, that I eventually found myself. xnrottgh the half-open windows of the great ballroom came "Amorettentanze," thundered out with military swing and insistence by the resplendent Court band. In company with my three acquaintances I had strolled away from the illuminated portion of the gardens, and we were now pacing a dark and compara- tively secluded walk. Encouraged, perhaps, by the lessened probability of eavesdropping (for methods under Rallenstein, the dread Chan- cellor's rule were mediaeval, more or less) ona- of my companions remarked: "Our Princess looked hewitehingly pretty to-night. The bold Pattnieister has, indeed. an. excuse. "And she also," Von Lindheim replied. "The fellow is the most splendid clothes-peg and wig-block combined that I know. He is mag- nificent, the sort of magnificence that doea not live to see its grandchildren." "He is a. fool," one of the others said, "to snap his fingers so close to the Jaroax's snout. "Orsova is a fool, my dear Szalay," Voa Xindheim assented, "as I have just hinted." "And the Jaguar is crouched and ready tor spring at the right moment." "Our dear chief does not make a mistake o, let another man make it against his policy." "Or woman." "Ah! He has a plan, and the Herr Ritt- meister von Orsova. forms no part of it." "No use for him. Prince Theodor-" 1 began incautiously, when I was stopped by a subdued chorus of "Hush!" r 'Secrets of state, my dear fellow, Von Lind- heim said laughing, but with a warning ges- ture. "You will get us into trouble. Yon Englishmen, with your excess of freedom, can't realise how circumspect we have to be. Yon have no Jaguar ever ready for the spring. You don't know our famous Red Chancellor- even by reputation." I apologised, and owned my insular careless- ness. "Yre British are in the habit of exer- cising our right to abuse and criticise our magnates. We don't think it worth while to I canvass meaner men. "And we criticise our rulers at our peril," Von Lindheim returned, tossing away the end of his cigarette. "Well, boys," he added to the other two, "if we don't want to fall under suspicion of Hochverrat we had better get back to the ball-room." Strolling and talking thus, we had passed through the gardens and struck into a. path. skirting a little wood beyond the pleaeaunoe of the royal grounds. My companions stopped and turneu. "1'11 just finish my cigar and follow you," I sadd. The Emperadore was too good to throw away for the sake of hurrying back to an entertainment of which, to tell the truth, the petty splendour rather bored me. Nevertheless, we all turned back together. Suddenly Szalay halted, and pointed into the wood. "What is that?" We all looked. A light was glimmering from the depth of the blackness; a light sug- gested rather than seen. "A light!" "That is Duke Johann's old chapel there. now used as a summer-house," Von Lindheim said. ics; but what can any one be doing there at this time of night?" "We ought to investigate," the third man. D'Uiban, said with official zeal. "Come, then. We can get round this way again to the terrace, and perhaps I Tligy had plunged into the wood making fop the ht. I followed them a step or two, then stopped and regained the path, not seeing how ) the question of the irregular illumination could interest me. Enjoying my cigar I strolled on. The night was pleasant enough. A slight warm breeze drove the clouds slowly I across a gibbous moon. giving a pretty play of light and shade. So I sauntered on in a frame of mind attuned to my present surroundings. I had become so far acelimatised as to take an interest in the court intrigues which I flourished in the air of that Chanoellor-ruled kingdom. I had an idea. of seeking a tem- porary commission in the State cavalry, that dazzling regiment with its picture-book cattle I and its theatrical accoutrements. I was only waiting to see whether there was any grit inside all that fur and brass and steel and I bullion, not caring to ear-mark myself with a regiment of costumiers' dummie. This doubt mn.de me take a peculiar interest in that magnificent spectacular warrior, the Ritt- me»ter von Orsova. Granted he was a fool, he might be a plncky fool (if only clever men. took up the profession of arms v. hat a reduc- tion there would be in European taxation!); or was he just a twopence-coloured popinjay who would squirm if you hit him unexpectedly between the shoulders? That the pretty Princess Casilde (and she was lovely) was in love with him, or something near it, was com- I mon gossip in the inner circle of Court official- dom. But the despotic Chancellor held other views and plans. Raving made himself the t foremost man in the State (for the King, with all his parade of authority, was notoriously under his thumb), he now nursed the De ides, of that Suite's aggrandisement as the only Way left, of increasing his own power. And it was evident that that aggrandisement could best be atta-ined by allying his master's housa with the richer and more important state to which Prince Theodor was heir-apparent. Hence the projected marriage between that Prince and the Princess easilde. Such was tba L state of Affairs when I found myself in Buyda, (To be continued on Mandar." t
