head and assured the young fellow that
every good glazier had to begin bis
career from the beginning or he could
never be clever. So the page was obliged
to reconcile himself to his fate.
The whole of the first lear the u2-
fortunate young courtier spent his time
in running to the bakers for bread 20,
his master and in washing and dressing
the children In the second year he dig
nothing but stop cracks with putty. In
the third year he learned how to GU!
glass and fix windows, and at last at The
commencement of the fourth year he
was made foreman.
After having been foreman for
whole year he took leave of his master
and, dressing himself up once more IN
court dress, he walked along the roads
in deep thought, wondering how he
could possibly become king. AS he
was walking on man came coward
him and seeing that the young courtier
was in deep thought he stopped and
asked him whether he had lost any
thing.
We'll. | don't know that have ex-
actly lost anything, but at any rate l
cannot find what want
And what is that::'
"A kingdom. am wondering how
ON earth can become a king.
"Well. if You had been glazier,"
said the stranger. IL might have helped
you -
THAT is just exactly what am!' ex-
claimed the other. Il have only lately
been foreman to a glazier.
Then you have nothing to fear. You
are no doubt aware that our king de-
cided some time ago to give his young
est daughter in marriage to a glazler
who was to be at the same time king
or at any rate prince; but as they have
been unsuccessful in finding such per-
son, the king has been reluctantly OBJ
liged to modify his demands by adding
two other conditions The bridegroom
must in any case be glazier. that of
course goes without saying
but what are the two conditions"
asked the young conrtier excitedly.
THE first condition is that he should
please the princess. and the second is
that he should be nobleman by birth.
There have already been great num-
Der of GLACIERS applying at the palace.
but not one of them took the princess
| fancy and all of them had coarse, rough
| hands like those of the commonest gla-
| zier."
When our young courtier heard these
| words he jumped three times about a
yard above the road for very joy, and
then. turning around, ran heller SHELTER
back to the town and presented himself
at the palace in less than no time.
The king at once ordered the princess
to be called, and when she arrived he
asked her whether this young glazie1
took her fancy.
The princess glanced at the young
man, and recognizing him at once. she
blushed and said, "Oh, yes"
The king ordered the young fellow 70
| take off his gloves and show his hands,
SO that they might know whether he
was of noble birth. However, the prin-
cess said that it was quite unnecessary
for the young man to do anything OF the
kind, as she felt perfectly certain that
there was no doubt whatever of his be-
ing of noble birth, and that his hands.
she was sure, would be as white as those
| of prince.
So thew were married. and as the
young princess husband was a glazier
by profession us we'll as a nObleman
by birth, he understood how to treat a
heart so delicate and fragile as hers,
therefore she lived blissfully to the end
of her days without any accident hap
pening.
The kings second daughter, with the
cracked heart, had the pleasure of being
an aunt, and very excellent aunt she
made too! She taught the little princess
to read and write and make dresses for
her dolls; she also took great interest
in the little princes lessons, and when
he knew them we'll and had good marks,
like good little boy, then she would
praise him and make him all sorts of
pretty presents, and he would leave her
looking red and rosy and flushed with
delight. When, on the contrary, he did
not know his lessons and his marks
were anything but good, then she would
be very different, and he would leave
her looking also very red and rosy, very
flushed, but not with delight.
This princess lived to a very old age,
Notwithstanding that her heart was
cracked, and if any one marveled at her
living so long, she would answer them
as she had done her parents once before:
