The Awakening Of Princess
Valerie.

Pretty Princess Valerie, they had
called her, back in the little kingdom
of Arstadt, when Duke Fritz had
wooed and won her in the guise or ,
the Count of Neinheim, and with the |
willy old Prime Minister had plotted |
against a girls willfulness to give
her the sweetest of love marriages.
Well! That was years ago. Since
then, only yesterday, weary truth
had come to Princess Valerie-that
men may love; but men will tire, and
the newest face has ever a charm.
1t was bitter smile that curved
the proud red lips, as she watched
Duke Fritz stroll under the 1indens,
murmuring pretty speeches into the
dainty ear of the Countess lsobel.
Countess Isobel of Hohenhauffen, the
veriest f1irt ever sent to overturn the
peace of the little court OF Auer-
stadt.
Valerie rested her hot cheek in her
hand and gazed down at the sleeping
boy, heir to the duchy. child of her
love, all that was left of that love,
Valerie told herself, as the countess
gay laugh rang UP beneath the Win
dow.
She had been so happy, only last
night, when that little vixen, Kath-
crime de Graffenried, had spoken
lightly in her hearing of Countess
IsobeFs latest conquest. Katherine
had seemed properly dismayed when
the duchess angry face appeared be-

at her bidding the girl crept away,
the malice half hid in her sleepy
green eyes. Katherine hated the
duchess, as her small soul hated all
things gracious and lovely.
Poor, proud Valerie. All that night
she lay in her great state bed with
wide staring eyes facing the future,
she called it, with ali a girls high
tragedy, with all a loving woman s
pain. At breakfast, the duke came
in to Join her, with a song on his
lips, and a rose in his buttonhole;
but Valerie thought she knew whose
fingers had plucked that rose, and
she would have none of him, and the
duke went away with a scowl on his
handsome face and found the Count
