proclaimed the passing of another
day, and the quiet lay over the city
like a pail; only, here in the palace
were flashing lights and anxious
faces lingering in the corridors to
know how Jared the little prince. A
long time, the blue eyes of the duke
held the brown ones of Princess Val
erie with that proud reproach; then,
woman-like, she fell to sobbing upon
his breast, knowing, without a word,
that the wrong was right; and the
duke asked no questions, but present
the Countess Isobel, who had laughed
down love and many suitors. was at
last caught in the web Of her own de-
vising, and that the matter was q
difficult one, as the man in question
was mere officer in the guards, the
bare mention of whom as a husband
for their imperious beauty had set
the whole Hohenhauffen clan by the
ears. In desperate case, the lovers
had appealed to no less person than
the hereditary duke, and, though
hereditary dukes are mighty in their
small worlds, there are some things
in which it is not safe to meddle,
hence, all the walks and talks, in
which the young officer had formed
an anxious third, and which the little
De Graffenried had forgotten to mer-
tion when relating the story to tie
princess.
"Why didn't they come to me?" de-
manded Valerie. There is nothing so
provoking to the average woman
than to find out that an interesting
love affair, with all Of its proper
complications, has been going for
ward under her very nose and she not
aware Of it.
The duke pulled his long, fair
mustache helplessly. "The truth is,
the countess tried to tell you, but
after you had left the terrace the lit
tie De Graffenreid came back and
told her that you did not approve of
her choice; in fact, desired that the
subject should not be alluded to in
your presence, and, naturally, she
could not expect any sympathy from
you"
"Oh!" said Valerie.
Ten minutes later, in the presence
of the court that was still assembled
in the audience chamber, Princess
Valerie summoned Fraulein De Graf
fenried and babe her return at the
earliest possible moment to her faith

Duke Fritz stood at her side until
the tedious ceremony was ended;
then he made his way to the Countess

the eyes of Katherine de Graffenreid

would claim his protection. Then

Gossin From Tien.tsin.

A traveller in. Tien-tsin, mentioning
the razing of the walls of the ancient
city, relates that the work was done
chiefly by former boxers, hired for the
purpose. Even the children on the
streets made life unpleasant for these
turncoats by haunting them with a
two-line doggerel running as follows
From our cakes you ate up all;
Now you've come to spoil our wall.
The reference in the first line is to
the large fiat cakes of unleavened
-four, mixed with brown sugar, upon
which the boxers were fed by the
patrons of the movement in Tien-tsin.
To many of them boxer1sm was mere
ly a means of earning living.

"Valeriei"

and the people of Auerstadt would
never suffer their little prince to be
raised in another land. No, she must
stay and bear her martyrdom. Ru-
dolph would be the first to bid her
return, and Princess Valerie could
have risen then and there, and beat
her hands against the wall in sheer
despair. Across the room, she could
see the dukes fair head bent low
above Countess Isobel it was mad
dening
A little page came hurrying down
the long room and bowed before her,
his face white and anxious. High
ness, the little prince is i'll, and
should have the Herr doctor immedi-
ately."
Valerie sprang to her feet, and an
instant hush fell over the audience
chamber, as she swept past the little
knots of courtiers and laughing wom-
en-, a princess, but yet a woman, who
has heard the cry of her child in need
of her.
A group of frightened attendants
made way for her. as she fell on her
knees beside the low, white bed. The
rosy limbs, that she had kissed so
short time before, were rigid, and
a blue shadow grew around the tight
ly drawn lips, as the child lay locked
in one convulsion after another. To
the end of her life she never knew
whence came the strength that en-
abled her. when the doctor called for
assistance, to brush aside the panic
stricken nurses, and herself force the
clenched mouth open, while he pour
ed the medicine down. What mat
ter that the little white teeth ground
upon her delicate fingers until the
blood trickled down, the child had
ceased to struggle, and the warm
pink came back to the little face, and
the tense limbs relaxed. With a
burst of tears, she gathered the
sleeping baby to her breast, and the
old Doctors eyes we're misty, as he
laid a kindly hand upon the rebel
lious curls that had somehow slipped
their fastening and tumbled in head
long beauty to her waist.
The minutes slipped by, as Valerie
knelt with the child's cheek pressed
against her own, then someone enter.

Valerie never stirred, scarcely con-

the child was given back to her arms
"a thankfulness that almost blotted
out the other great sorrow for time.

wife, and drew the DARK head to his
breast. For a moment she yielded to
the sense of rest and peace, then
pride awoke, and she drew haughtily
away from him. why come to me?
Where is the Countess Isobel? Is she
indisposed that you should turn to
me and the child?"
