The Obstinacy
<br />Of the Princess.
<br />By Troy AIlfron.
<br />Copyrighted, 190e, by C. 11. Sutcliffe.
<br />The princess stamped her foot as en-
<br />ergetically as any ordinary person
<br />would have done. "There's no earthly
<br />use being born a princess," she said.
<br />"I want my own way occasiotaally, and
<br />1 never get it."
<br />The minister raised both eyebrows.
<br />"But, your highness, I was sent to rea-
<br />son with you."
<br />"There's no reason in it," she flashed
<br />back. "There's anything but reason in
<br />my being trotted out like a horse to be
<br />Inspected by this conceited person
<br />merely because he's decided to marry!"
<br />"To think of the son of so powerful
<br />a throne being called a person!" The
<br />minister's eyes shone through his glass-
<br />es, blankly dismayed.
<br />The princess shrugged her shoulders
<br />Ln a noncommittal way; then she seized
<br />the minister by both lapels and contin-
<br />ued her argument. "0 minister who
<br />Is not plenipotentiary, if you feel too
<br />badly about not being able to reason
<br />with me remember even Napoleon fall -
<br />ed once, and maybe you two will go
<br />down into history together. As for
<br />reason"— The princess snapped her
<br />slender fingers disrespectfully close to
<br />the minister's nose and left the room
<br />and the man.
<br />The sudden indisposition of the prin-
<br />cess was au unexpected detail in the
<br />preparations for recNing the royal
<br />visitor, who arrived the next day.
<br />She awoke when the first sunrise
<br />crept over the sky, yawning from the
<br />weariness of having spent twenty-four
<br />hours trying to be still. The gilt clock
<br />showed that there were at least two
<br />hours before the palace would awake.
<br />She crept out of bed and dressed
<br />stealthily, threw a light wrap over her
<br />shoulders and went through the door
<br />that led from her apartments to the
<br />rose garden. She went swiftly toward
<br />the summer house that was her favor-
<br />ite retreat. She stopped on the thresh-
<br />old and stared at the young man com-
<br />placently smoking a cigar on her own
<br />pet bench.
<br />He hurriedly threw away the cigar
<br />and bowed low before her. "Good
<br />morning," he said, and the princess
<br />noticed the charm of his voice. "I
<br />scarcely expected any one else to be
<br />awake so early in the day. I hope I'm
<br />not trespassing."
<br />The princess was startled, but deter-
<br />mined at the expense of veracity to
<br />keep the household from learning that
<br />the condition of her throat was not so
<br />serious as the physician had vouched
<br />for.
<br />"I didn't—er—expect to find any one
<br />here myself," hedging for time to cre-
<br />ate ideas. "The fact is I have been
<br />awake almost all night attending the—
<br />er—princess, and when she at last slept
<br />I slipped into the rose garden to be
<br />refreshed by the early morning air."
<br />She looked charmingly confused, and
<br />the man, evidently a most polite young
<br />fellow, declared his intention to leave
<br />her in undisputed possession of the
<br />rose garden. But the princess was
<br />fond enough of an adventure to sweep
<br />away a few conventionalities in order
<br />to experience the unusual.
<br />"No, no; by all means remain seated,
<br />sir," she said, seating herself on a
<br />neighboring bench. "I am not so self-
<br />ish nor, indeed, so unsociable. I judge,
<br />sir, that you are connected with our
<br />royal visitor's retinue?"
<br />The man hesitated, then smiled geni-
<br />ally,
<br />"Yes, you are right. I generally—al-
<br />ways, in fact—accompany the prince
<br />In his travels."
<br />"Then tell me about him," she broke
<br />In eagerly, "I shall not be able to get
<br />a glimpse of him while he is here, and
<br />I must own to a certain amount of
<br />curiosity concerning him."
<br />"Upon one condition"—he leaned to-
<br />ward her, evidently struck with an
<br />idea—"that you tell me about the Prin-
<br />cess Constancia."
<br />"A bargain!" she cried, and her eyes
<br />smiled again. "You take first turn.
<br />You are a visitor, you know."
<br />He puckered his forehead In a
<br />thoughtful frown. "He's rather a good
<br />natured chap," he said at Last doubt-
<br />fully.
<br />"Pooh: Of course he is—always has
<br />his own way and is never crossed in 1t,
<br />I haven't a doubt," she scoffed.
<br />"There's where you are wrong," he
<br />said energetically. "The king has as
<br />strong a will as—er—as the prince has,
<br />and they are eternally clashing."
<br />She traded her first bit of informa-
<br />tion with every indication of pride in
<br />"Strong will! The combined powers
<br />of both your king and your prince
<br />couldn't equal that of our princess.
<br />And temper! You never saw any one
<br />with such a fiendish temper," she whis-
<br />pered confidentially.
<br />"So bad as that?" feebly. "I—we
<br />heard that she was quite charming."
<br />"Oh, I don't deny that she is rather
<br />nice to look at, but she—she has boxed
<br />my ears several times," beginning to
<br />take a delight in her creative imagina-
<br />tion.
<br />He leaned forward and grasped the
<br />arms of the bench, tense with indigna-
<br />tion.
<br />"And you have to submit to it! You
<br />poor little thing!" his eyes full of com-
<br />miseration and admiration.
<br />The princess put on the first meekly
<br />submissive air mortal man had ever
<br />seen her wear.
<br />"What could I do?" plaintively.
<br />"There are times when she is really
<br />nice to me."
<br />"There's one thing certain," he broke
<br />in vehemently, "such a vixen would not
<br />make a desirable wife for the prince."
<br />"I don't know that he's too gond for
<br />her," she said defensively. "I don't
<br />care much for the prince. He's too con.
<br />ceited-"
<br />"I beg your pardon!" he exclaimed in
<br />astonishment, "I never heard— How
<br />on earth could you get such an idea
<br />into your head?" he demanded.
<br />"Doesn't he go from one country to
<br />another, expecting all girls of suitable
<br />age and birth to be trotted out for his
<br />inspection, just like selecting a neck-
<br />tie?" Indignantly. "If I were a prin-
<br />. ,11111111

<br />cess I would positively enjoy havin
<br />g
<br />him ask me to merry- him!"
<br />IIe could not take Ills gaze from the
<br />flushed, piquant face.
<br />"If I were a prince I should be
<br />broken hearted If you treated my pro-
<br />posal with such scorn," he said fer-
<br />vently.
<br />The princess rose hurriedly.
<br />"I think I must see if the princess
<br />needs Ale."
<br />"Won't you tell me your name," he
<br />asked, standing with his head uncov-
<br />ered, "and that I am to have the pleas-
<br />ure of seeing you later fn the day?"
<br />"I am afraid—I must not," she fal-
<br />tered, "and please, please do not men-
<br />tion that you have (net any one here -
<br />I want to be free to come here again,"
<br />she added innocently.
<br />His face suddenly lost its doleful
<br />look.
<br />"Would I be much iu the way if I
<br />happened to be smoking my cigar here
<br />when you come?" he suggested boy-
<br />ishly.
<br />"Not in the least—if you can get
<br />away from the prince," she said as
<br />she started down the path.
<br />On the last day or the prince's visit
<br />she came into the rose garden a trifle
<br />earlier, but he was there, Just as she
<br />had found him for the last three morn-
<br />ings.
<br />"You are leaving this afternoon, I
<br />hear," she said in greeting.
<br />"And I am to leave without knowing
<br />your name?" he asked gloomily.
<br />The princess' eyes were wistful.
<br />"It's best to let it remain simply—an
<br />episode," she answered, with a reflec-
<br />tion of his despondency.
<br />"But I must know—I will know!" He
<br />seized both her hands and held them
<br />firmly.
<br />"I can't tell you—now," she gasped,
<br />"but if the prince is to be at the regat-
<br />ta next mouth, perhaps I'll be able to
<br />see you then. I know our princess is
<br />going."
<br />The gloominess lifted from his face.
<br />"I'll see you—I'll find you—I'll defy
<br />all the powers that be—for you!" And
<br />he suddenly took her in his arms and
<br />kissed her.
<br />For a moment the princess did not
<br />stir; then she gave a startled exclama-
<br />tion and slipped from his embrace.
<br />Two days after the departure of the
<br />prince and his retinue she found her-
<br />self well enough to go to the room
<br />that the minister considered his own
<br />special den. IIer curiosity could no
<br />longer be restrained, and the minister,
<br />having always proved wax In her
<br />hands, could surely be induced to tell
<br />all he knew about the late visitors.
<br />While talking her glance fell upon a
<br />small photograph lying on the table
<br />before her. IIer eyes widened and her
<br />breath came faster.
<br />"Who's that?" she demanded eagerly,
<br />stopping the minister In the middle of
<br />what he considered a well chosen re-
<br />mark.
<br />"Don't you know?" he asked In aston-
<br />ishment. "I believe it is, though, the
<br />first photograph taken with a full
<br />beard. It's the prince, your highness,
<br />and he graciously put his signature on
<br />It for me."
<br />The princess took the picture in her
<br />hand, looked at it intently, then gave
<br />way to a peal of hysterical laughter
<br />which caused the old man to lean over
<br />her anxiously.
<br />"Shall I ring for one of the maids,
<br />your highness?" he asked her perplex-
<br />edly.
<br />The princess sat up and wiped her
<br />eyes on a dainty lace handkerchief.
<br />"No, no! Don't ring! I never felt bet-
<br />ter in my life. I have an inspiration.
<br />I don't want to have a marriage ar-
<br />ranged for me. There is no romance
<br />in such procedure. If you will only
<br />leave me free until after the regatta I
<br />promise to arrange for myself a mar-
<br />riage that will please every soul In the
<br />country. Give me freedom for one
<br />tie month," she coated, standing before
<br />him and placing an eloquently per-
<br />suasive hand on each shoulder.
<br />He looked into her eyes helplessly.
<br />"I shall never be able to understand
<br />the feminine mind," he said dolefully.
<br />Shooting Stars.
<br />Shooting stars are not real stars at
<br />all, but are small bodies which the
<br />earth runs into and which are made
<br />so bot by friction in the atmosphere
<br />that they are burned up. The real
<br />stars, as those of the Dipper, are very,
<br />very far away, so far that no one
<br />knows the distance. They are bright
<br />bodies like our sun, but seem like
<br />points of light because they are so far
<br />off. As the earth moves about the sun
<br />It frequently meets little bodies. It
<br />is moving so fast that when it strikes
<br />them the friction In the air is very
<br />great, and usually they are burned up.
<br />They seem like moving stars, but are
<br />really only a few miles above us in our
<br />atmosphere. Sometimes one is so large
<br />that it comes through the air without
<br />being wholly burned up and falls on
<br />the ground.—St. Nicholas.
<br />Olive 00 and Long Life.
<br />Many have wondered at the great
<br />age men attained in Biblical times. An
<br />age of 120 years was not at all un-
<br />usual in those days for men to attain
<br />in full possession of their faculties be-
<br />fore they were gathered unto their
<br />fathers. There is a cause for every-
<br />thing, and Is It unreasonable to attrib-
<br />ute this long life, in part at least, to
<br />the fact that alt these men perhaps
<br />daily freely used olive oil? They lived
<br />in the land of the olive and regarded
<br />it as one of their greatest earthly bless-
<br />ings, for it gave them health and
<br />'length of days."—Homeopathic Envoy.
<br />Very Steady.
<br />Farmer Haye —That Jones boy that
<br />used to work for you wants me to give

<br />he'd be motionless.—London Express.

<br />Hands and Feet.
<br />It is said that Disraeli was prouder
<br />of his small hands than of all his great
<br />mental accomplishments. This was
<br />presumably because they were badges
<br />of aristocracy In their evidence that
<br />he bad not beeu brought up to labor,
<br />and he worshiped aristocracy. And
<br />small feet of the same character—evi-
<br />dences that the possessor did not go
<br />barefoot when a child. Generations of
<br />carefully shad children of the nobility
<br />developed this characteristic of those
<br />of "gentle blood" as distinguished from
<br />the commonalty. But such proofs of
<br />superiority were not meekly endured.
<br />In due time brainy commoners discov-
<br />ered that the "artistic band" was not
<br />small, but long and slender, and then
<br />came the athlete multitude, who scorn
<br />small hands and feet as evidences of
<br />effeminacy.—Indianapolis Star.
<br />Gray Hairs In Wall Street.
<br />"It seemed to me down in New York
<br />the other day," remarked a Cleveland-
<br />er who bad just returned from the me'
<br />tropolis, "that one might almost rec-
<br />ognize Wall street and the financial
<br />region by the number of gray hatred
<br />young men you see. I had occasion to
<br />be in several offices on Wall street the
<br />other day. and I honesty believe more
<br />than half of the young men I caw had
<br />gray hair. I noticed the same thing
<br />along the street It may have been
<br />just a coincidence, but I couldn't help
<br />wondering if they would have been
<br />gray just as soon if they had been at
<br />some other game for the last few
<br />years."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
