He flattered the weak, good, shallow man by encouraging him to draw up some plans for a new association, although he had given his pledge to the old society, whose manager, Kirby, had taught the young king per- spective. Kirby, in his inaugural speech, assured his colleagues of the king's indifference to the seceders. He little knew the thunderbolt that was forging for him by the quiet, smooth-tongued, respectable intriguer. One day West is painting on ^^Regulus," the king and queen looking on,... smiling their royal approval. Mr. Kirby is announced.

Kirby, half-alarmed, and affecting an air of patronage and indifference, turned to the king, and said, " Why, your Majesty never mentioned this work to me. Who made the frame?
