his attention at the moment was one of pressing and vital importance. He had just returned from an official visit to
Windsor, where a document upon which bung the fate of a EKuropéan nation had received the sanction and signature of ber majesty:
Upon reaching the foreign office he en- countered the secretary on the stairs, and they proceeded together te the private room of the latter. Depositing the treaty cn the table, the premier inquired:
“Is the messenger ready?”
“He is waiting here. When must he start?”
“This evening. The treaty must reach the emperor in the morning, for war may be declared at any moment.”
“It has received her majesty’s sanc- tion, then?”
“It has. It will come as a surprise to
Gerinany, no doubt, when it is made known, but we are bound by motives of nterest and policy alike to support the I ich in this struggle. Backed up by England, Franee can searcely fail to be victorious, and then we can dictate terms to Europe.”
“But Bismarck—does he suspect?”
The premier paused before replying. It was the one point upon which be did not

“No,” he said at length; “though he is ever on the alert, on the watch. I think we have effectually blinded him on this move. But this messenger, can we rely upon him?”
I think I can answer for Mr. Whar- ton, a man of tact and resource.”
“Very well. I will write a dispatch at once. Meanwhile we must communicate
with the emperor by wire, informing him ir mes r leaves for Paris to- night with the treaty. He will then feel his position secure and can act accord-

ence,
Wharton,” he said, “that this is a matter requiring the utmost secrecy and dis- patch, This: document must be placed in t emperor’s ieaiiie tomorrow mi orning
or the conse que neces may be fatal.’
Having seen the treaty safely sealed up in the messenger’s dispatch bag, the premier went home, not a little relieved at having got this weighty matter off his nind. Added to this there was the pleas- ing consciousness of having overreached the wily Bismarck, who had been making strenuous efforts to secure the neutrality of England.
Meanwhile Mr. Spencer Wharton lin- gered at the foreign office, never trusting his precious dispatch bag out of sight.
This hasty journey to Paris was n»t al- together without its attractions for' him. In fact, he was yr Am to be off, to get this state mission over, so that he might have a day or two in the French capital, which he intended te devote to purely personal affairs.

Just as he alighted from his cab at the station his attention was attracted to a group of loungers and one or two grin- ning porters. In the center stood a lady who was being subjecied to the abuse of a drunken cabman. Just then Mr. Spen- cer Wharton caught sight of her face. He started and the next moment was el- bowing his way vigorously through the
crowd. “Mme. Vincent!” he cried in amaze- ment. “You in England! I thought”—

“A dear friend of mine we: ill here in London—dangerously ill,”’ she replied. “IT hastened across a week ago to see her. But you?” she added, raising her beauti- ful eyes to lus face again. “I have not seen you for a month at least. I thought you had quite forgotten me.”
“Forgotten you!” he said ardently. “1! assure you I welcomed this journey to Paris, as | hoped;it would afford me an opportunity of seeing you again.”

On the journey down an exiravidinary and somewhat ludi¢rous incident occur: red. The two gentleme: reigners evi dently—were (‘discussing Ut: burning question of the hour—the p: t of hos

This incident, joined to the scene at tie station, was evidently too much for Mme Vineent’s nerves. Upon reaching Dover
she declared that she felt too weak and ill to proceed farther and would remain at a hotel for the night.
“TI wish I could stay and see you safely across in the morning,” whispered Whar- ton as he lingered by her side. “It is really too bad, but unfortunately there is no help for it. Duty renders it impera- tive that I should reach Paris early in the morning; otherwise’’—

~~ * . > >. . *
The following morning the secretary for foreign affairs reached his office rath- er earlier than usual, for the papers had announced to him that war had already been declared. The French emperor, re lying upon the telegraphic communica- tion which had reached him the evening before from the prime minister of Eng- land, had taken that decisive step. To the general public the announcement was startling, for many thought that actual hostilities were yet far distant.
The foreign minister was engrossed in a copy of The Times when he was inter- rupted by the hurried entrance of the premier himself.
“We have been either tricked or be trayed!” said the premier excitedly. Read this. It has just reached me from the emperor of France,”
He laid a telegram on the table. The communication was in cipher, but the rendering of it was written underneath. It contained the startling announcement, “Messenger has not arrived.”
Consternation reigned in the foreign of- fice that morning. Messages were flash- ed to Dover, to Calais, making anxious inquiries for the missing messenger. It was found that he had reached the latter port in safety, but there all trace of him was lost.
It was too late, however, to remedy the evil, war having actually been declared. England was foreed to withdraw from the position which she proposed to take with regard to France. She was com- pelled to remain neutral, which was pre- cisely what Prince Bismarck desired.

Not for many years afterward was it discovered how or under what circum- stances the messenger had disappeared. Then, strangely enough, news came of him from America.
It appears that he had’ been living there under an assumed name and upon his deathbed told his story to a friend. Briefly it was this:
Upon reaching Calais it had occurred to him to examine his bag in order to as- certain if the treaty was safe. He open- ed it and, to his horror, found—blank pa- pers!
Looking at the bag more carefully, he saw that it was not really his, but one closely resembling it, even to the many half torn labels which eovered it. pe

An Egyptian Stern Wheeler,
An Egyptian stern wheeler is built to float over the shoals and rapids of the Nile. There is no going down long, slip- pery iron ladders to her engine room, for she has no hold, everything being carried above water line—cabins, stores and en- gines. Indeed the steam cylinders lie exposed, one on either side and a little forward of the very primitive looking stern paddie wheel, which looks more as if it belonged to some agricultural imple- ment than a steamship. The reason for this is that, although nearly a hundred feet long, she only draws about 1 foot 9 inches of water, consequently she has no down stairs.
Probably those engaged in the engine rooms of some of the great liners which ply to the far east would be only too glad if when going through the Red sea they could bring their engine room on deck too, instead of seething below in a temperature which sometimes exceeds 130 degrees. What wonder they at such times faint away and are brought up and laid on deck, where they are brought round roughly but effectively by the free application of pails of water drawn from the tepid sea.—Chambers’ Journal.
Every Kind of Backache
Yields to Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, Because They Act Directly on the Liver as Well as the Kidneys.
Pains in the small of the back, over the kidneys, are usually due to de- rangements of the kidneys,. and dis- appear when the kidneys are set right.
But there are other kinds of back- ache, by far the greater proportion, that can never be reached by treating the kidneys. Pains in the shoulders, through the centre of the back, and in the sides are caused by a torpid ac- tion of the liver, and can only be driv- en out when tne liver is made healthy and active
To reach the liver, as well as the kid- neys, to set the filtering organs in working order and to cure every kind of backache, there is but one unfailing remedy, and that is Dr. Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver Pills. It fs the only treat- ment that has this direct and combined action on both liver and kidneys, and the only one that positively and per- manently cures backache, whether caused by liver or kidreys.
