hearts. and how the old king would not
hear OF his daughter marrying any one but
a glazler. AT first said the man,
there was another condition. namely,
that the glazier who was 10 have her must
also be a king, or kings soA but as
there Is no one 20 be found who Is BON
glazier and king together, he has yielded,
AS the cleverest must often do, and has
made two other condition. A glazier he
must be-in that he Is iirm.'
" And what are the other conditions "
asked the young nohlenan.
:" Firstly, the princess must like him,
and secondly, he must have yelvet-soft
hands. Ii, now. g!azier comes whom
the princess likes. and who has velyet-Soit
hands, the king Will give him his daugh-
ter, and make him king when he dies.
There has been crowd of GLACIERS already
at the castle, but theprincess does not like
any of them, and besides, none Of them
have yelvety hands, but rough ones, as. in
deed. Is only TO be expected from ordinary
glaziers.'
When the young nobleman heard this
he went To the palace and presented him
self 10 the king, and reminded him how he
had been page in his castle, and told him
that out OF love for his daughter he had
become glazier. and that he would very
much like 10 marry her now. and become
king M the kings death. Then the king
had the princess called, and asked her il
she liked the look of the young nobleman,
and as she answered es. tor she recog-
nized him directly. the king told him 10
take Off his glove, and show them If he
had velyety hands. But the princess said
that was quite unnecessary, for she knew
already that ne had real velvety hands.
She had noticed il when he had conducted
her up the stairs.
So the two conditions We're fulfilled, and
as the princess had got glazer for her
husband, and he too one with velvet-ssit
hands. he took great care OF her heart,
and ii lasted whole until her death.
And the second sister. who had the crack
in her heart, became an aunt. and one OF
the very best aunts in the world. Not only
the children OF the young nobleman and the
princess said so. bur every body else too.
She taught the little princesses to read and
say their prayers and make dolls clothes
and she used 10 look al the princes re.
ports. When one had good report, she
praised him. and gave him present: but
If he had "A bad one. she gave him slap,
and said, = Now tell me. my pretty prince,
what may be your Intentions. What dc
you hope to b. some day Out with ii,
quick.f
And then when he sobbed, "Ki-ki-ki-
king" she>voulG laugh, and say, king.
indeed kirg Midas. ! suppose. King
Midas, with a thousand peers and couple
OF donkev's ears" And then he would
be very much ashamed of himself.
And tins second princess lived to be
very old. although her heart had got a
crack init. When any one expressed sur.
prise at this, she always answered as be-
fore. ''That which gets c acked soon, hut
does not come right in two, often last 7
the longer afterward.'
And this is true know. For my moth

had crack in itas long as l remember,
and it is not broken yet; and since my
mother has had it, so many new cream
