THE VIOLET ISLAND.
ERNEST H. HEINRICHS.
WRITTEN FOR THE DrsrAroH.l

"All right, 1 accept you as my cham
pion." the Princess said, ''then listen to
me. 1 will place you in q boat which will
carry YOU directly to the whale island. The
boat is drawn by four young whales, who
are all devoted to me, and ii you are sue
cessiul in. your task, they will take you
back to your home on the Violet Island. 1t
is fortunate, that it is now winter and by
the time you arrive st your destination. the
whale-king viii have about sent all the
whales away into the ocean, because you
will not get there until spring. I
will also give you q sword, which was
presented me q few days ago, by
the nymph of the ocean. This sword makes
YOU invincible, and If you strike anyone
with IL death is sure to follow. As regards
the whale-king you must be careful OF one
thing. OF course you must attack him with
This sword. but be careful that he does not
get away and gain access to the sea. As
soon as he does that, your power is vanished
and he will then surely kill you. On land,
however, believe you are able to vanquish
| him, and with this sword you have great
advantage. -.
master from the Violet Island, get the
boat ready, give me the SWORD and Will
start. /,
All preparations were soon completed, and
| within Eve minutes the four whales skinned
through the waves with the Prince and the
boat at lightning speed. The journey con-
tinued uninterruptedly, and the young
whales must have been instructed as to the
object of their journey, because they never
stopped in their travels until they arrived
at the Whsle-king's island.
Here the Prince at once jumped ashore,
| drew his sword and began to look around
for the monster-the whale-king. His
search was not very long. Soon the gigan-
tic form of a monstrous beast, half whale
and half man, came forward and in an i'm
perious manner asked the Prince what he
wanted on his island. The arduous young
man, however, did not leave him in doubt
very long, because he at once began to at
| tack the whaIe-king. The latter was Sc
much taken by surprise that he did not
| know what to do for moment or two. But
he must have realized that he had met foe
not to be trifed with, so he thought it wisest
to escape into the water. With one immense
bound he gained the shore, and in the next
| instant he would have disappeared under
the surging waves had not the Prince been
watching him. As the young man knew
what he might expect be jumped after the
| whale-king as fast as he could. He Just
reached the monster in time. and at the very
moment when the whale-king meant K
lump into the ocean the wonderful SWORD
from the ocean nymph pierced his heart, anc
in the next second the inhuman monster anc
whale-king was rolling in a pool OF Dlooc
and breathing his last.
When the Prince saw that be had come
out of the combat Eictoriously, be re-em
barked in his boat and the four young

whale and half human. When l grew up
the Ehsle-king took 1t into his head to
marry me and he frequently came to our
court TO importune me with his to me de-
testabIe protestations of affection. OF course
ali his pleadlngs had no effect upon me. L
remained obdurate even when he swore that
he would Danish me away from home, friends
and the world. I never thought that he
would keen his word, but he did, and the
result is that am now here imprisoned for
life"
iBut is there no way to Iiberate you from
the terrible spell of this fendish monster OF
the deep?' hotly asked the Prince, who at
once felt that he could lay down his very
life to please this lovely woman.
ssThere is one way, of course, answered
the Princess, "but it is very hazardous
one"
s'Tell me-" quickly replied the Prince,
sand whatever it might be 1 viii venture
to surmount all difficulties. even ii my life
should be the penalty"
aBelieye me, I admire your chivalrous
nature" the Princess now said. but am
afraid the task would be too much for you.
However, will tell you what would give
me back life and liberty. It is simply this:
The death of the whale-king. That monster
lives on the Whale Island, which is cy-
olopean rock in the Southern Seas close to
the South Pole This whale-king rules all
the whales of the ocean from his castle,
where he can be found nesrl- all the year.
But in the spring OF the year he is alone on
the island, and if anybody would like TO &c
and see him that would be the best time 70

from the Violet Island the lady, 'teli me

whales retraced their way through the
ocean towards the Violet Island. He had
just arrived within a few hours of his own
country when he suddenly noticed most
wonderful ship coming directly towards
him. The vessel looked milk-white in the
distance and the Prince looked at it in
amazement and curiosity. Now the ship
came, closer and he recognized it as ship
made out of ivory. He now understood why
it looked SO white in the distance. At last
he got alongside of it and he Immediately
recognized the Princess from the castle be-
meath the ocean waves. She beckoned him
and wished him welcome from his journey.
Then the Prince went aboard the ivory YES
sci.
The ship went to the Violet Island and
when the Princess arrived on that beautiful
land, she grew SO fond of the delicious per-
fume, that she resolved to stay there, especi-
ally when the Prince offered her his hand
and his throne.
Here the two lived in the future In great
happiness and contentment

1t was at one of the Salvini matinees, and
the play was "Othello." Two girls to
whom not only the acting but the play
itself was evidently novelty, sat in the
balcony. They giggled more or less during
the early portions Of the play, but grsdu-
ally they fell under the spell Of genius, and
their laughter gave place to the closest at
tention. As the last act proceeded it was
noticed by one who had observed
them curiously during the after
noon, that they were full of excitement and
sympathy, end sighs took the place OF the
giggle of the opening scenes. When at
length 0tbello has slain the hapless Desde-
mona, and quick remorse makes itself felt,
one Of the girls turns to the other, and
with tears in her eyes remarks;
"He feels kind o. sorry he done 1t, now,
don't he?'
And the indication Of her uncouth phrase
was a. true applause a. the actor won that
day.

Things Immortal.

The pure. the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse of a. .wordless prayer,
The dream Of love and truth.
The longing OF after something lost,
The restless spirits cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
The kindly word in griefs dark hour,
That proves friend indeed;
The plea of mercy softly breathed
When Justice threatened high,
The sorrow of 8 contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory OF clasping hand,
The pressure of kiss,
And all the trifies sweet and frail,
That make up life's first bliss;
II with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
We feel and act the better part
These things can never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Can find some work TO do;
Lose not a chance TO awaken love,
Be firm and just and true.
So shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on the form on high.
And angel voices whisper thee:
These things shall never die.
