I "THE QUEEN REGENT," I By BEATRICE HERON-MAXWELL, Author of The Adventures of a Lady Pearl Broker," What May Happen," Ac. I CHAPTER III.—Continued. I A Loyal Subject. Take care, Archie; if you defy me you 11 find me dangerous." I do." Defy me?" No—the other thing." And, indeed, playing with Fenella. was rather like the proverbial playing with fire; she flashed so suddenly, and the flame was not always lambent. The dusk had deepened round us while we talked, and now it was almost dark. Mrs. Vanrenen and Beecher had finished their talk and were sauntering towards us. Fenella gave a little exclamation and touched my arm, bidding me look round. We are close to Sealand," she said, and you can almost grasp your heart's desire." The hills were ablaze with bonfires; and the pier to which we were directing our course was a double line of flickering red stars, while in the distance a square of blackness outlined against the lighter darkness of the sky, and with yellow gleams shining at regular intervals along its length was the Castle. "Your kingdom looks picturesque," said Beecher, and I think you are going to have a demonstration of loyalty when you take possession of it, Mrs. Vanrenen. The islanders —are they crofters, or burghers, or what?- seem to be mustering in force." Mrs. Vanrenen was silent. I could just see her eyes where a ray of light slanted across them, and they seemed to be glowing with vivid excitement. She stood gazing intently at the long irregular line of coast growing more distinct every moment as we approached; and some- thing in the expectation of her attitude, and in the imperial way she held herself, brought to my mind the White Qu-een when she was approaching the shores of her new realm. Certainly even Mary of Scotland, whose loveliness has outlived the centuries, could scarcely have possessed a more royal beauty than this modern self-created ruler, though it remained yet to be seen whether the fascina- tion which gave Mary so sure an empire in the hearts of her adherents would be at once the dower and the doom of this latter-day queenhood1. Countess Fenella and Royal, who had ran up to her, cla-6ped hands and stood together, gaily discussing the island and its festive preparations, while Beecher had gone forward to give some orders about landing. I moved nearer to Mrs. Vanrenen, some touch of loneliness about her, even at this moment of realised ambition, appealing to me. One was accustomed to think of her I dignity, her right of precedence, her maturity of person and purpose. But just then, for what reason I could not tell. it occurred to me to remember that she was little more than a girl, with a girl's enthusiasm, and faith, and eagerness, and all a girl's real dependence on the goodwill of the world not to disappoint her. Her widowhood, her son, her wealth and its responsibilities, while they seemed to add to her years, in reality only emphasised her youth, and therefore of necessity her com- parative inexperience. How strange it is," she murmured, as I leant against the rail at her side. Do you think the people will be really pleased to see us? That they like to feel some one is going to take a personal interest in them and represent them to the outer world?" "It looks as if their welcome is going to 15e warm and sincere," I said. Do they under- stand all that you have in view on their behalf?" Not all," she answered softly. I have communicated with one or two of the principal men. but I have only given the vaguest outline of what I intend to do. It has seemed so difficult until now—now it seems suddenly possible." Yet she had never expressed any doubt or misgiving before. But I think, though she ignored obstacles to other people when she made her plans, she was very sensible of them herself. We were close enough now to see that there was a crowd of people on the pier, and a flight of rockets that -@hot up into the sky at either sire of as showed that we had passed the sentinel boats at the entrance of the harbour. In another live minutes the pier was touched, the ropes were Bung and made !aøt,'1 and a cheer from many throats rent the air- while down the steps that led to the landing- stage descended a deputation of some twenty men in greeting. "You will land with 118, Lord Beecher, and stay to-night at the Castle?" Thank you, no, Mrs. Vanrenen. I will reserve my invasion until a little later. I think it would be more decorous for you to I make your entry accomplished only by your personal suite." He was resolute in declining, even when she still pressed him, and finally we all took leave of him and disembarked. Mrs. Vanrenen, as she stepped from the gangway holding Royal by the hand, was received with another ringing shout of welcome, and a short address was read to her by one, Daniel Lafarne, acknowledging her as the supreme and lawful possessor of the island principality of Sealand, and tendering to her the respectful allegiance of its inhabitants. The Oountefis's face expressed such mis- chicvous enjoyment of this that I suspeoted her of having contrived it with a view to making our arrival sufficiently dramalio. I could not help thinking that she brought it about indirectly. However, to my inquiring look she turned an expression of surprised innocence, and remarked demurely: Very right-minded and proper of them; don't you think so, Mr. Merivale?" It was a singular scene, this one in which we were assisting, and made one feel suddenly transported back to mediaeval times when courts and courtesies were more primitive. The pier, with its flaring lights and crowds of seafaring people, the wet, uncarpeted steps, the little group of farmers headed by the innkeeper, Lafarne, a rough-and-ready ambassador in his frieze and homespun; and, facing these, Mrs. Vanrenen and her boy—a striking pair. The child's beautiful, earnest face was so far above the common that if one judged by looks he might have been descended from a hundred earls or kings; and Mrs. Vanrenen in herself was a picture that one could not easily forget. She wore, as usual, a black dress, but she had thrown round her a. long white cloak embroidered with sparkling jet, having a wide collar of ermine that extended in two long stoles to her feet. I had not realised before how tall she was; beside these islanders, who were none of them beyond a very medium average, she looked a daughter of the gods; and they seemed amazed themselves at the vision they were invoking with so much ease and fluency. She answered them in a few brief words of thanks, adding that she was merely the repre- sentative of her son until he attained to man's estate, and that on his behalf she could, promise to them the same loyalty and faithful service as they were tendering to lhim. Henceforth he was & Bealander, and the ?wan of BeabAd WM M< am Then we passed on up the steps, through the surging crowd of people, fisher-folk mostly, and so gradually to the carriage with its pair of greys waiting to convey us to the Castle. I sat with Royal on the back seat facing Mrs. Vanrenen and the Countess. The roads held scattered groups at-intervals, who cheered and ran beside the carriage. only desisting when we reached the Castle gates, and began our winding ascent under heavy arches of trees up to the Castle itself. As she descended from the carriage, Mrs. Vanrenen's ungloved hand rented for an instant on mine; it was icy cold, and she looked paler than usual, as she crossed the brilliantly lighted hall. The Oountess and Royal went down the corridor to the right which led to the draw- ing and dining rooms; the servants after a. moment or two dispersed down that to the left; Mrs. Vanrenen and I only stood together in the hall. She unfastened the collar of her cloak and asked me to take it from her, and then she sat down in a vast old chair that stood ia a recess and looked round her. Again I was struck with her youth; now that the heavy mantle was gone and she was in her simple black dress again her solitary figure seemed to express so much of the un- fulfilled promise of girlhood. She looked up to me, and smiled faintly. "It is a little oppressive-all this," she said, perhaps because of its newness. But that will wear off, Mr. Merivale. Castles are an acquired taste-to some people." I felt for the second time that this was not her usual way of talking; I understood in some vague way that she needed some one to share her sensations with her; Royal, for whom she did and felt it all, could not as yet appreciate nor enter into her feelings; the Countess shared his irresponsibility, and who else was there amongst all her numeroua dependents who could sympathise with her? Mrs. Vanrenen, therefore, turned to me in. default of any one better. A sudden impulse seized me, and without pausing to consider it, I knelt down on the step leading to the recess, and taking her hand raised it to my lips. The Castle is only an appropriate setting to the Queen-Regent," I sajd. "Let me be the first to tender my fealty to my liege lady as a loyal subject." I had never seen her blush before, and I had not imagined the extraordinary trans- formation it wrought in her. The colour that flowed into her cheeks wae like that of a. wild rose where the pink edges the pure whiteness of the petal; it was as if my words had lit a. lamp in her mind and the light was shining through her eyes and cheeks. Then the colour ebbed and left her paler than before. She rose with gentle stateliness and said softly: "I shall count on your allegiance, Mr. Merivale. One cannot have too many loyal subjects." And stepping back into the hall she went her way down the corridor, leaving me alone. "Its a mad world," I said, and yiwning, for the day had been a tiring one, followed her-at a respectful distance. lTo be continued).

THE BITERS BIT. A number of men gathered together in tha smoking room of a commercial hotel were re- counting stories of personal experiences, in which practical joking played a chief part. One of the raconteurs prefaced his story by saying the occurrence he would relate had for ever cured him of any desire to play a urao. tical joke, as, meeting the victim at a later period, the latter assured him that the jok. had nearly cost him his life. The incident oo curred in the Man and Saddle Hotel, Dews- bury. Regularly once a. year. a Mr. Mockett, a commercial traveller, visited the cities and towns in the northern counties of England. He was well liked wherever he went, and his wit and practical joking were so mirth-provoking as to disarm any resentment. So accustomed had commercial men and others become to meeting Mr. Mockett that his absence one year from the hotels he stopped at occasioned many inquiries, but none of the Bonifaces was able to give any information on the subject. The following year Mr. Mockett turned up again in Dewsbury, but, spare as he had always been, he was but a shadow of his old, self, and he had evidently been suffering- from a severe illness. A number of men, how- ever, who were also stopping at the Man and Saddle Hotel determined to treat him to a practical joke. Hiring a handsome and ex- pensive coffin on some pretext or another, they had it conveyed to Mockett's bedroom and placed in the middle of the bed. With- out giving the slightest inkling of what he thought of the trick, Mockett took his place at the breakfast table the next morning, and. except for the effects of his illness, appeared to be as bright and cheerful as usual. A hurried search of Mocket's bedroom disclosed! the fact that the coffin had disappeared. Non-plussed, and expecting every minute that the owner of the coffin would be sending for his property, one of the jokers ventured to remark, "What is this we hear, Mockett, of your having had a strange bedfellow last night?" Mockett's matter-of-fact and quiet reply acted like a bombshell. A bedfellow?" he asked. No, I did not have any bed- fellow last night. By the way," he added. I do recall that there was a very handsome coffin in my room. Such a. coffin I should think cost quite a good sum of money. As I had no use for it, I sold it this morning to aw undertaker as a misfit' for ten pounds." Later in the day the four would-be and dis- consolate practical jokers paid the original owner's bill, amounting to about thirty, pounds.

"What became of that little kitten you had here?" asked a lady visitor of the young hopeful. -Why, haven't you beudr "No; was it drowne&" N o. "Lost?" "No." .P,i""dfm "Nb." "Then whatever did become of itt" said the lady. "It growed up into a mL"
