The high-well-born Erederica, daugh- ter of His Gracious Highness, the Holburg-Brandenstein, certainly ought to have found agree able employment for her fancy; for the sufficiently high-well-born Hilar- lus, heir-presumptive of the Duke of Stresault, was expected to arrive w* hin a few hours and the prime min- ister had been rubbing his hands all the moming--it was such a match! Or, as the prime minister was pleased to express it: "The al liance was. most gratifying to con template, allke for reasons of state and matters of sentiment", which, beim; translated, meant that the young people were likely to be fond of each other and that the Duke of Steesault would--eventually--pay the hills. Meanwhile, that rogue of a Prince Hilarius had slipped away from his aides de-camp, equerries' and the du- tul guard, resplendent in shining cuirasses and helmets with streaming plumes, and was flirting contentedly enough with a pleasant, flaxen-hafred fravelein, who, had given him a nog- gin of milk from her bucket and was now listening to him, not ungre- ciously, although with a certain air of protest. "But ff it is as ks highness says. and he has not seen the gracious Princess Frederica," she ventured at length, in the respectful third person, "how can he be sure that my eyes are brighter and my cheeks _ fairer anl"'--she blushed--"'my lips sweeter than those of the high-well-born and Leracious, Princess Frederica, sole child and heiress of his most gracious high- n ss, Karl, Hereditary Grand Duke of Holburg-Brandenstein 7' Prince Hilarius looked the least bit hored. "Surely," he said dryly, "no mortal can be all that and charming into the bargain. Besides," he went on more gallantly, "one does nt look to find perfection duplicated, and perfection cannot be ¢ Yulled, that is clearly against Jo- gi?" --~for the prince, though frivolous, had the philosophic mind of the Ger- man race. "That is all very pretty," rejoined his charmer, with a pout. *Yet his highuess is about to wed the high- well-born and"«but thé prince check- ed that portentous flow of titles and dignities, swiftly but gallantly. There really is some use in kisses !| Then he heaved a little sigh; it was full of profound resignation. *'Ah, welll" he said, "'one must accept fate. You see, tiebchen, here is a ring--my ring. I had thought to 'place it upon nA finger of the Princess Frederica, in be trothal; send it to me when you will, it shall be a token calling me to Jou tide from council chamber or roin closet, even though 1 were about to be proclaimed Duke of Stresault-- long may 'my father live!" and slipped the ring upon the girlish fin ger and stepped forward as if to take a parting salute, but the girl retreat cd hastily, with an expressive gesture to look behind him. The prince glanetl around and saw his escort galloping up, while the girl had dis appeared. He pulled himself together and rode on with his escort, watching the grand ducal palace of Holburg- Brandenstein loom larger and grimmer as they went their way. The prime minister, the lord high chiimberlain, - the itary gr groom of the chambers, the exalted master of the robes, and the eminent chief steward of the grand ducal powder box, together with a number of less celebrated personages, wel comed the prince upon his arrival. They proferred him wine that had come to perfection in the dim re cesses of cellarage known only to the hereditary chief butler, and the prime minister and the lord high chamber- lain having taking his opinion on all the - present questions of state, began to look at each other in a hesita- ting fashion and seemed disposed to stray into the somewhat threadbare theme of the weather, when the prince, hored past all endurance, took his courage in both hands and in- quired for the Pniicess Frederica. The Dita minister and the lord high chamberlain exchanged glances that said as plainly as words that on that subject silence was more grateful than speech. "Your gracious highness will doubt- | -- "Her gracious highness will with- out doubt----"" ventured both digni- aries. at once, but just then the gold stick in waiting ontered, and sum- moned the prince into ap ante-room. There bt Karl, hereditary grand duke of Holburg-Brandenstein, and his face was grim. "Your highness," he said in a vote like the roll oi thunder in the Black Forest, "you are summoned by this token." e held out to Prince Hil arius a well-known ring. "Your high- ness knows to what it calls you." The. prince bowed. "1 do," he re plied coldly. "'Pertiit me to con gtatulete Jou, grand duke, upon the efliciancy of your spies." 1 am well served," growled the grand duke in ly. "As for this matter, my grandiather would have laughed at St, and have wedded you do 'his daughter out of hand. © My father--had and I both been young in his ¥ there would have been blood spilt between wus. But now----" he paused and looked so ie oe a me gth : oy "Have we become so virtuous now: adays," he said with a little sneer, "thet a man is i io vow Perhaps : | her position, 'you gave the ring fs here. may prove the best way of sett this afiair." Prince Haring bowed : "Leaving my- joel out of the question, does your highness propose rather a bad quarter of an hour for the Princess Frederica ¥' he queried. ; The grand duke waved the question psicle ©: "The Princess Frederica been educated for the exi i of " he- replied. "*You will ficd her equal to the situation." The prince looked desperately un- comfortable; he fidgeted about and finally mansged to stammer : "But-- but the girl, vour highness?" "One would think," responded the grand duke, coldly, "that, after hav- {nz dared so much, Prince Hilarfey is --afraid 17° : At this thrust the prince drew him- self ups be would not reply directly, but turned to the gold stitk in wait- ing:"'I await the pleasure of his high- ness," he said. 7 The grand duke motioned towards wy good | the door, the Prince Hilarius, accom- panied by the gold stick in waiting, left the room. "As they throu the long corridors of the patace, t prince wished himself well out of the affair. When the gold stick in wait- ing finally ushered him into a small boudoir and Teft him there it 'was almost with a sense of relief that he heard the rustle of approaching draperies. Presently, although he daved mot look up into her face, he was aware that a young woman stood confronting him. This, no doubt, (was the Princess Frederica ! Well, she had the floor, why did she not say Somatiing-+anything | She was welting, perhaps, the girl. And what would the girl say ? Would she throw 'him: over and hurt his ide, or defy the princess, and thus further co! nratters ® 0, but it was a | pretty pickle that he was in, just from a bit of a flirtation. 0, to get it over ! : "Where is the other one?" he mut- tered aloud, absentmindedly. * "There is no other one," replied a voice that had. a strangely familiar sound, . He looked np. hat face ! Where had he seen it ? Those eyes ! Surely he bad looked into them! Those irs! Yes he had kissed them by the roadside--! 'And now," went on the same voice that had ensnared 'him in a careless hour, wifle a bewitohi pout made the rosy lips more kissak than ever, *'if the Prince Hilarius will find sufficient gallantry to offer me his arm, perhaps we may as well present ourselves to the assembled guests; they may be tired of waiting.' So Prince Hilarius, heir-presumptive to the Duchy of Stresault, and the Princess Frederica, daughter of his most gracious highness, the heredi- tary grand duke of Holburg-Branden- stein, went arm' in arm to their be trothal, that was followed, after some weeks of feasting and merriment wy" their marriage, dnd never was known a more attentive lover thai the Prince Hilarius, nor a more de- voted husband, His Confused View. Boston Herald. Henry E. Dixey, at a dinner at the Lambs', said of an actor who had fail ed in a new part: - "His idea of the part was so con- fed and wrong that it reminded me of Ferguson. erguson, you know, awoke one morning after a studio he supper--you know what studio suppers are--and groaned and muttered : " 'Dear me, what a headache !' "He screwed up his lips in disgust. The taste in his mouth was horrible. He thought he'd have a look at his tongue, and, veaching out for the hand glass, he took up by mistake a silver-backed hair brush. He stared at the bristles a lo while, then he shook his head and said : " 'Fergy, my boy, you certainly do need a shave." "' Worth a Dollar More. Utica Gloke.

Mr. Walter Runciman, who delivered a trenchant speech on "Temperance" at Burnley recently, is not likely to forget an amusing election trick which was played on him some years ago. He was contesting a seat in a by- election at Gravesend at- the time, and his father, Bir Walter Runciman, lent him his yacht to aid him in the fight, He had the vessel moored in the Thames right opposite the town he was contesting, but what was his horror one morning when he discover- ed that some Tory wit had plastered every available portion of the vessel with Conservative posters. Let No Man Put Asunder. M. A. P, London. In Dr. Moule animals of all sorts with. this, the Bishop tells a good story of an occasion when he examined a not ; London Daily News. 3 i village of Brightling (sbout nine miles inland from Hastings) pos- sesses probably the most novel collec- tion of strange buildings in England. 'About half a century agova certain Squire Fuller, the chief resident, who was possessed of great riches, spent money lavishly in the erection of nu- merous quaint buildings, with the idea 'ol rendering his memory imperishable in the Httle village. Squire Fuller's eccentricity earned him the sobriquet of "Mad Jack." > Perhaps the most remarkable of the (buildings is the Sugar Loal house, in which the "Mad Squire" was anxious to immure a man far seven years-- during which time the victim was neither to shave, wash nor hold any communication with the outer world. His food was to be passed in through a window, There were several pln. dates for the experiment, but the au- thorities intervened and forbade the execution of the wild scheme. . The observatory contains in - the dome a camera obscura, which the squire placed there so that his tenants could keep observation on their cattle without going into the fields. "Solomon's Temple," built in the style of an eastern mosque, with mas- sive marble pillars, was used by "Mad Jack" as a card room. _ The squire's tomb, built to resemble the pyramids, has a beautifully de- corated interior, and bears carved quo: tations from the squire's favorite au- thors. The squire's coffin was placed on a stone trestle above ground and the door of the tomb locked with a key, which was afterward destroyed. Beacon tower was originally intend- ed to guide skips into Pevensey Bay, but the squire planted trees all around and thus rendered it useless to ma- riners, . Both About The Same. London Dally Mall At Trafalgar Square demonstrations Mr. H. H. Hyndman, the-British editor who has written much of the German war preparations, is a familiar figure. Indeed, it is questionable whether any man has spoken so often from the his- toric platform. At one of these gatherings, Mr. Hyndman, a month or so ago, had the uncommon experience of listening to a candid eriticism of himself, Arriying late, he stood for a few minutes in the crowd on his way to the platform. "You look something like old Hynd- man," said a neighbor te him. 'Do you know him then?' asked Mr. Hyndman, "I've seen him once or twice," plied the other. "I've seen him too" said Hyndman, "but I am inclined be believe I am bet- ter looking than he is." i re- will never take a prize at a beauty show ; but, between you and me, | don't think you will either." Pie Or No Pie, Miss Helen Louise Johnson, former- ly head of the department of social economics at Rhode Island College, tells the mothers' clubs of Providence that "pie never developed a ndble character, and poor bread will some times drive one to dreadful needs." Well, of course, comments the Bos- ton Globe philosopher, she is half right. But in New England, if the bread is poor we generally say nothing about it, but turn rapidly to the pie. Her slander on pie 'needs no refuta- tion; any New England Hall of Fame contains the answer: Webster, Hoar, Moody, Wolcott, Taft, Bradford (Ga- malie), Harrison--all are from the pie belt, and who shall say they are not noble characters ? It is well substantiated that just un der Dr. Eliot's five-foot bookshelf there yawns, a four-foot pie cupboard, 'with cheese on the side. A Parish of 420,000 Square Miles. If the report that Dr. Wilfrid Gren- fell is to lead the Norwegian expedi-. tion to enquire into the discovery of Andree"s grave is correct, the selec tion will be regarded with satisfac tion; for the noted missionary and ex- plorer is the most suitable man for the task. For many years thedoctor has devoted himself to the physical and spiritual needs of a parish contain- ing 420,000 square miles of territory, carrying a sparse population of Eski- mos and natives of Labrador. He has set' their broken limbs, cured the ophthalmia caused by the glare of the sun, and battled with the scourge of consumption. During fis sixteen Foe service in that bleak region he as established four hospitals, an orphanage, and many stores where the fishermen, none too worldly wise, may be assured of nol being cheated. Reasonable Compromise. In 1747 John Brown was invited to become the pastor of a church at Hingham. There was "but ¥ne oppon- ent to his settlement, a man whom Mr, Brown won over by a stroke of good humor. He asked for the grounds of his opposition. "1 like your person and your man- nec," was your have a staunch friend. In connection |*% you and me to set opin; against that of the whole par- The force of this reasoning appealed to the man, and he at once withdrew his ohjections. Regular Habits You might as well expect to find a man or woman healthy with constipated bowels as to find a city healthy when its sewers are blocked with refuse. Nature demands that the indigestible food and waste matter which collects in the lower bowels shall be got rid of at least once in twenty-four hours, If this is not done it decomposes, filling the bowels' with poison, which is taken up into the blood and carried all through the body. * Naturally, this poison affects the work of every organ, The liver is deranged, digestion is upset, and biliousmess, headaches, lassitude and dizzy spells follow. Literally" millions of people suffer these resiilts of constipation without realizing-the cause, or doing anything to remove it. Yet it can be removed, easily and with certainty, by using Dr.' Morse's indian Root Pills. " Take, for example, the case of Mr, George Andrews, Halifax, N.S., as he himself describes it: "For many years I have been troubled with chronic constipaticn. This ailment never comes single handed, and I have been a victim to the many illnesses that con- stipation briugs in its train. Medicine after medicine I have taken in order to find relief, but one and all left me in the same hopeless condition. At last I read about #hese Indian Root Pills, That was indeed a lucky ay for me, for I wis so impressed by the statements contai therein that I determined togive them a fair trial, They have regulated mv stomach and bowels. Iam cured of constipation and claim they have no ejual as a medicine." Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills were first taken to cure constipation nearly a hundred years ago, and during the last half century they have been very extensively and very successfully used throughout the world. They are entirely vegetable in 77 and donot sicken, weaken or gripe like mineral pusgatives. DR-MORSE'S "Oh," was the retort," '"Hyndthan|.
