"Well, don't have to pay. Sec2 r

Writer in Leeds Mercury. His royal
highncss arrived little before all tho

daylight was fading into dark. Sud-
denly trim servant maid bounced out
OF the house and ran up to the prince,
to whom she handed parcel contain.
ing, as it afterward turned out, a largo
piece Qf sausage and some money, and
exclaimed under her breath:
You won't have to come to-day:

moment later he perceived q SOL
der in his cloak, who was casting visit
full glances ut the lighted windows of
the house, and asked him IL his sweet
heart lived there, and on the mans re-
plying in the affirmative the prince con-
tinued:
.Ss"Then this parcel must he intended

"She gave me something besides"
the prince went on to say, but can't

"Oh, you may lseepit and welcome"
