"My queen!" It was young Mr. Kilduff who spoke, and ie addressed Miss Mullios, ie the same ;ime placing his arm around her waist and ittempting to deposit a kiss upon ber lips. This was all proper enough, for the two urere engaged and had been betrothed for a pear, but the girl evaded the salute, dU;:n Saged herself fi-om his embrace and stood erect. "I am not, your queen!" she replied with stately if not regal dignity. "Wby, what's up, Carrie?" asked the yoving rnan in surprise. "You cali me yoUr queen. You have often called me that, but 1 am not. I htive read that when Queen Victoria appears in the drawing room it isno uncommon thinji to see her display $750,000 worth of jewelry. How much jevvelry do I display? Not even an engagement ring!" And she held out her ringless fingers for inspection. Mr. Kilduff caught hold of the extended hand, and this time he got his kiss, for he replied: "I can't give you as many jewels as Queen Victoria wears, but my queen shall have a diamond ring tomorrow.'
