tranced with the sounds. They seemed
to draw her on All the time she was
becoming drowsy
At last she stood in front OF beauti-
| full palace. Two maids advanced to
meet Brighteyes Both were dressed
in deepest black They took her by the
hands and led her into the palace. AS
the dreamy music continued Brighteyes
lost all will power, The maids led her
into beautiful apartment which they
said belonged to her, and then they left
her. The music had ceased. and grad
ually Brighteyes regained her senses.
She became alarmed, as IL was growing
dark and she was in this strange room
As she sat there wondering the door
was noiselessly opened and the maids
again entered.
They fell on their knees before her
and wept bitterly. Princess Brighteyes
asked one what the trouble was. The
maid answered that their master was
made captive in the palace by witch,
but If Brighteyes would consent to be-
come his wife. he would be freed from
the spell.
Brighteyes considered for moment
and remembered that her father wish
ed her to marry prince who was yer.r
wealthy but very cruel.
She thought she would rather MARI
this strange prince than the one her
father had chosen, so she tod the
maids that she consented to become
their masters bride.
They arose, kissed her hand and de-
parted. About an hour after the Prince
himself came. He was handsome
youth. He approached Brighteyes
and said Dear Princess, there is no
use of saying | love you, for you al
ready know it. but if you wed me you
will have to remain here always"
Brighteyes told him she would re-
main with him Prince Goldenheart
and Princess Brighteyes were married
and lived very happy afterward
The dove was restored to the Prin
cess. and she loved 1t twice as much
as she had, for through it she had met
her handsome Prince Goldenheart,

What does the phrase, "The end Of

your mind either "a the date on which

A DISAPPEARING STREAM.
The Dry Fork of Ashley Greek, in
Northwestern Utah.

Atlanta Constitution: Some curious
revelations are being made by the Unit
ed States geological survey.
A recel at report from Mr. C. T. Prall,
one Of the photographers of the sur
vey has reported the existence of
stream VIII ose water, in the summer
season, entirely vanishes midway in its
course. The river is known as the Dry
Fork. a small stream in northwestern
Utah, tributary to Ashley creek About
IA miles from its source in the Uinta
mountains this stream reaches Il large
basin or sink, whose walls are from 70
TO 100 feet nigh, except on the up-
stream side. The pool is apparently
bottomless. and the water in il revolyes
with a slow, circular motion, caused
either by the incoming waters or by
suction from below, or both The only
visible outlet to this pool is a narrow
rock channel, from which little water
flows, but is soon lost to sight few
hundred yards below. A measurement
of the main stream just above the pool
showed a volume. of SO cubic feet or
water passing each second. but this en-
tire flow disappears in the basin ana
the stream bed for miles below is per-
fectly dry. About seven miles below
this interesting pool were found several
springs. one OF them a large hole %
feet in diameter and 20 feet deep. which
at times are empty and again filed with
water 1t is thought that the water
which disappears in the upper poor
flows underground deep below in the
stream, and in times of rainfall heavier
than usual appears again in part In the
large springs below.

A PARTY TRICK.

Here is a trick which is always very
effective at a party or any gathering
of young people and sometimes with
older persons, too:
Take a tin cup, or cup of some other
metal, and fill it almost full Of spirits of
wine. into this put teaspoonful of
common table salt and stir 1t thorough
ly until the salt is dissolved Place
this upon a wire frame and Ak the
frame over a spirit lamp or dark
lantern, so that none of the light from
the lantern can shine into any part of
the ROOM This should be done in one
end of the room and the company seat
ed in a line as near the center Of the
room as possible.
AS soon as the cup gets so hot that
you cannot rest the tip Of your finger
against it, hold lighted match near
the mixture of spirits of wine and salt.
very small yellow flame will arise
from the surface and gradually increase
in size. Now put out the other light in
the room and in moment you will OBJ
serve a most peculiar effect. Every
thing in the room. whatever its pre-
vious color, will now be a most posi-
tive yellow. If the yellow light from
the cup is not quite strong enough.
throw some more salt in the mixture
and then the yellow flames Will be
still stronger in color. Reds. blues,
blacks. whites. green's. everything will
lose all its previous tint and become
CHASTITY solid yellow.
You will hardly be able to recognize
your little friends and they will scarce
~ know you Their hair. faces. clothes,
the chairs they sit on and the rest of
the furniture. Tie carpet--in fact
everything in the room-will look as il
| it had suddenly received a thick coat
! of yellow paint This is very quick
way OF changing brunettes to blondes,
and there will not be single laddie or
| lassie with raven tresses in the room.
| Now place an ordinary light at the
extreme other end of the room and the
effect will be two lights, one white and
| the other yellow. You must be careful
not to have the white light stronger
than the yellow one. and then while
one-half Of each will appear in its prop
Ell culors. the other half will still he
vivid yellow. ana the dividing lines will
be SHARPLY defined
! To get the best effect of this you and
your friends should be seated in two
| lines facing each other. with light on
each end of the lines.
A little girl with black hair and a
gray dress for instance, will present
most peculiar appearance-looking
I perfectly natural on one side while on
/ the other side she will be yellow from
