gray mountains, and green plains, running
without once stopping for three days and
three nights till she at length saw a great
castle painted with blood. and here she
stopped, and the bull turned himself into
a man, and there she beheld the prince
who had gone away from her mothers
castle in wrath not long before.
Fair princess" said he. you may re-
member that when l quilted your mothers
castle my last words were that when
came again you would come with me with
out my asking YOU Haven't l kept my
word?'
Ti.en he led her into the castle and told
her she would be mistress Of 1t: and If she
so willed 1T. might be as happy as the day
was long, for he would permit her the en-
Joyment of every pleasure, and put every
pleasure in her way-only let her beware
not TO disobey any of his orders, else the
fate of many predecessors of hers, whose
blood now colored the walls of his castle
would be hers.
Next morning he called her, and telling
her he was going to be absent for two
days, gave her the keys of all the rooms
in the castle. telling her she might amuse
herself looking through them, and behold
ing their magnificence. till he returned
But he pointed out one and warned her on
her peril not to open the room of which
that was the key.
The prince departed, and the young prin-
cess Immediately set about going through
the many magnificent rooms which the
ttiStit Noitalleu, ana ner amaZSment at
their grandeur was great. She had opened
and entered every room but the forbidden
one, and coming to that door and cXamin-
Ing 1t, she began debating with herself why
II was he had ordered her not to enter It
and came to the conclusion that 1t must
contain some wonderful secret when he
was so strict in excluding her from it, At
length she resolved to just open 1t and
peep in. saying that 1t would be impossible
for the prince to ever find out her dis
obedience. So she turned the key in the
door. and, opening it, she saw something
red on the floor to which She put her foot
and found II was blood. Then, looking
round the room. she saw the horrible sight
of many bodies of beautiful ladies' and her
owr lost sister amongst them, hung by the
walls She quickly closed the door and
locked it. But she found her foot was covered
with blood. and when she went to the
stream that flowed by the castle to wash
1t. though she rubbed and rubbed ever so
hard, she could not get any of the blood off
her foot. Then she gave it up, saying to
herself that she would manage to conceal
1t from her lord
That evening as she sat under the trees
In the garden eating bread and drinking
milk Tor supper, cat crept up to lick
some drops of milk that had fallen on the
ground. She kicked away the cat.

when he couldn't have his desire granted
at once he would not delay, but went away
from the queens court in great wrath, say
ing angrily that the next time he came for
them they would come with him without
the asking.
1t wasn't long after he went away, when
one morning the queen and her three
daughters, sitting by window, chatting,
and looking out on the lovely grounds. saw
q great black bull tramping among and
roofing UP their flower beds. They We're
greatly annoyed at this, and the eldest
daughter jumped up and ran out, Selling
bit of stick by the way to drive the bull
from the garden, but when she reached the
bull and struck him with the stick, the
stick stuck to the bull, and her hand stuck
to the stick. so that she couldn't let 1t 60
Then the bull started away, dragging her
after him, and over high hills and low hills,
great mountains and green plains he ran,
with the lady still drawn after him. very
soon disappearing from view of the queens
castle, and for three days and three nights
he never stopped running so. till he reached
another great castle painted all over with
blood. Here the bull changed into the
shape of a man, and the frightened young
princess that he was no other than the
naughty prince they had short time be-
fore rejected.
Now, lady" said he ct was my last
warning. when leaving your castle, that

fortunate ones who went before you and

The princess resigned herself to her fate
ana. making herself as comfortable as she
could that night, and in the morning the
prince came to her with a great bunch of
keyes. which ne gave into her possession,
saying:
Nov. since you are to be mistress of
my castle, | give you charge of all the
keys Of it l go away to remain away for
a day. and you can pass your time pleas

one key, and do not use 1t, nor enter the
room it opens. If you dare to do so, you will
surely suffer for your idle curiosity
Then he went away, and the princess at
her leisure went through the rooms of the
castle one after another admiring their
beauty and gorgeousness, until she had
seen all but the forbidden room. And when
che came to it she looked long at the door
and
We'll, now she said. II wonder what

turn the key and peep in? Who shall

So she put the key in the door and turn
ed II, and seeing the floor covered with
some red matter, she put her foot in 1t
and found 1t was blood. TIL she was hor-
rified on looking round tie walls to see
that II was hung all round with the bodies
of beautiful ladies, whom she then knew
the prince must have murdered. Then she
quickly closed the room again and locked
II. She then went to wash the blood from
her foot. but found that no matter how much
she tried, though she rubbed 1t and scrub
bed IT in running stream by the castle
that she could not get even the smallest
drop Of the blood to wash out. But she
thought she could easily conceal it from
her lord. and went about her business IN

understanding that the Boer side should be
represented from his own viewpoint, first
iruuiring If l were spy from Cecil
Rhodes. On being assured to the contrary
by a number of raad members who were
present he followed it up by another GUS
tcmary question. turning on me suddenly
and asking: What is your religions?
These two inquiries give an insight into
Krugers life. His first duty, he believes, Is
to God, and his second to Rhodes, whom he
detests like a poisonous reptile. But for
Rhodes. Mr.. Kruger says, all would be
peace and quietness in the Transvaal. So
long as this man is in South Africa there
is no rest for the Beers. and their secret
service agents may be found on every
street in Johannesburg on the lookout for
Uitlander conspiracies.
From all outward appearances, Dom Paul
is intensely pious. and though the English
insist that 1t is all hypocrisy, there is no
proof that Kruger does not live in strict
accordance with his preaching. He was
confirmed in 1872 by Rev. Daniel Lindlay.

HOW SOLDIERS SHOOT.
A Matter Of Systematic Training In
Smallest Details.

How Soldiers Shoot" in Pearson's s
for July, contains some interesting de-
tails of the process of making crack
army shots, who are expected in war
time to play havoc with the enemy's
officers and men at long range.
Doubtless more successful attention
is paid to such shooting in England
and the United States than in any
other country. Special instruction is
given to our navy and army and money
is not spared to give the men all the
advantages of target practice. Steady,
systematic training makes the accur-
ate shooting. The greenhorn must be
taught how to hold his rifle first and
then successfully how to stand, how
to kneel, how to lie, how to aim, how to
fire and how to take. care of his rifle
and its cartridge magazine, II maga-
zine is used.
The Lee Enfield rife of the British.
service weighs nine pounds and is four
feet one inch in length, the bayonet
adding another foot. It is a fve-
grooved rifle, with a Inuzzle velocity Of
1000 feet per second. The bullet IS
made of copper and nickel, with lead
core. The recruit is taught that the
bullet travels through the air in
curved line called the trajectory sub
ject to the explosive force which starts
1T, the force of gravity pulling 1t down
and the resistance of the air. Such
bullet falls two feet in 200 yards, trav-
cling 1000 feet second. The mean
extreme range of the bullet is $500
yards, with penetrating power accord
ing to the substance struck. Recruits
are taught to fire in any position. Our
army regulations give the men rules
for judging the distance OF objects from
thirty yards to 1000 yards. There are
moving targets representing infantry
and cavalry to shoot at. There is prac-
tice in rapid volley firing, Independent
firing, running and firing. Modern
methods require many changes in fir
ing drill

The New Man-Spiritual loves all
who love truth. Truth is his meat and
his drink and In the strength of 1t he
goes forward. He binds none. He
forces none. Neither will he be bound
nor forced. For all men of all minds he
hopes all things and is serene.
