dragged Hamilton UP to the table that
the light might fall on the violets and
on the ribbon which tied them.

The big, dark man looked at Hamil-

sald, Tor Hamilton kept tight grasp
on the flowers.
WELL" said Hamilton, until have
some explanation of your very unus-
ual conduct, l must naturally stand in
an attitude of Defense"
IF we tell you that this ribbon is
the first trace we have had of one who
IS sought eagerly, will it not induce
you to give us any information in your
power?"
L think not said Hamilton calm
ly, until know your purpose in seek

There can surely be no harm in
that" said the short. gray man, pro
Vided that we have your word that
what we say shall go no further"
All right" said Hamilton, and sat
down with Crook between his knees.
We look for the princess of a small
kingdom which shall go unnamed.
Whatever your surmises may be they
cannot reach the facts and we desire
secrecy in the matter" said the dark
may. ut is enough that you should
know that, by a series of tragic deaths,
this princess has become next in sue
cession to the crown and that she has
run away"
For what reason?" asked Hamilton.
There were two mistakes made in
her training" He hesitated.
And those mistakes?" asked Hamil-
ton with interest.
"She was allowed almost unlimited
freedom, and her governess was an
American.
"Ah!" AS Hamilton uttered the lit
tie exclamation, Crook raised his head
quickly. He knew that tense express
sion and the sparkle of the eyes-he
had seen that look in the hunting sea-
son and on the race course and it
promised good things. exciting things.
Hamilton threw back his head and
laughed gayly.

IF you hurt me you will be sorry"
he hurled his defiance at them. MY
dog is now half home with a note
which tells of my danger. He will
bring help"
Let him CO." said the little, fair
man, nervously, and the three sat
down, dark with defeat.
Hamilton Strengthened himself and
smoothed his rough hair.
And all this about bunch of vio-

he said.

found them?"

Hamilton, framing his answer so that
it was literally true. "On my honor
as a gentleman-and an American"
he added, as an aggravating after
thought.
BAH" said the big. dark man.
''Furst, you are a fool he said to the
little, fair man. 1--WE must let him
go"
And if I-might suggest-soor," said
Hamilton placidly. Help will I'm
to head it off,"
When Hamilton reached the corner
he found Crook sitting stolidly under
the shadow of a mail box.
Good dog, Crooksie." said Hamil-
ton, as the two plodded homeward, 1--WE

And Crook wagged his tail at the
tone of appreciation.
At five o'clock in the morning they
were out again. AS the sun rose. the
whole world seemed to swim in golden
light The spires were bathed in rose
color, the trees were shimmering green
and the dew washed roofs were opales-

"a fairy city for my princess,
thought Hamilton whimsically.
The ladv of the Violets opened the
door before Hamilton could ring.
Come in," she commanded, and leo
them to a back room, lighted by q
pink-shaded lamp. Then Hamilton
saw her face. He had been prepared
for beauty-for are not all princesses
like those of the fairy tales ?-but he
had not thought to find such youthful
loneliness.

caught the culver of fear in her voice.

THE LOST PRINCESS
BY TEMPLE BAILEY.
Copyright, 1904, by Temple Bailey

AS Hamilton stopped to light cigar
,he flame illumined his tall. loosely
built figure, and brought out the strong
lines of his face. At the same moment
he was struck sharply OH the cheek by
something soft and perfumed, which
slipped to his shoulder and thence TO
the ground, leaving behind in the I'M
savory city streets the fragrance of the
spring woods.
Before he stopped to find the unusual
missile, Hamilton involuntarily looked
nm In the open window Of the dark
house in front of which he stood he
could just discern a blur of white. Sud-
denly a broad band of light struck
across the darkness-as if somewhere
in the background door had been
opened. The blur resolved itself into
the slender form of a girl, her blonde
head carried high as she stood for a
moment revealed; then she drew the
curtain quickly.
He bent to pick up the thing that
had struck him and discovered that
Crook was holding it patiently in his
mouth. OGOOk was I1dIIllllOIl uOS,
Boston terrier, squat of form and stur-
DIV of leg. He was his masters insep-
arabic companion when the big man
took walks in the city streets that were
the unsatisfying substitutes for the
long tramps over wooded land on his
estate in the lumber region of the far
north.
Come under the lamp, Crook" COM
manded Hamilton, and the dog trotted
obediently to the corner, where his
master took from him a bunch of vio-
lets tied with ribbon of the same color
and Unfolding a bit of crisp paper.
He read the hurried words:
II don't know who you are, but you
are an American, and 1 believe you are
a gentleman. Two nights you have
passed the house, you and your dog
and 1 have heard your voice as you

mat was all. On the surface it look
ed like the rambling of an insane per-
son or the effusion of d romantic girl,
put in spite of his thirty-five years
Hamilton retained some of the illusions
OF his early youth.
He resolved to take the chances, for
al any rate it was no ordinary adven-
lure upon which he was embarking--
me set of the girls blond head the
eXquAsiteness of the violets, the quail

We will think it over while we have
bite, Crook" he said, and led the way
10 little out-of-the-way place, where
ne ordered a club sandwich and musty
ale.
Under the stronger light Hamilton
once more examined the violets, and
discovered that the ribbon which tied
lnem was stamped with q strange de-
vice topped with crown.
AS he looked up he met the gaze of
man seated at a table opposite,
small fair, red-cheeked individual,
win the ends of his moustache up
turned. This and his fur-trimmed
coat gave him the air of a foreigner,
an impression that was confirmed by
me slightly broken English with

over and took a seat at Hamilton's

arm But not with that ribbon, my

tory to Mr.. Hanna, but he wanted to
find out just how the money was made,
so night after night found him on
the stage talking with the carpenter,
the property man, the stage manager
and everybody else employed thereon.
AS result, he soon began making
suggestions about this piece of scenery
or the method of operating some par
ticular mechanism.
why don't you DO it this way?"
he would begin, then outline his idea,.
and close with, would that be an inn
provement?"
If the carpenter, or whoeter he
might be, thought the idea a good one,
he would say so; If not, an argument
was sure to follow until one or the
other was convinced that he was
wrong. Sometimes it would be the
carpenter, sometimes Mr.. Hanna. But
Mamma must have carried his point
a good many times, according to the
stories told of him to this day back
of the Euclid Avenue Opera House
curtain. These recitals also tell how
Mark knew just about as much about
scene shifting as the rest of US fell
lows"
Nor was Mr.. Hanna long in form
ing his ideas of the kinds of attrac-
tions that he wanted at the Opera
House. This was shown in 1882, when
his nephew thought 1t would be a good
thing to book a wrestling match be-
tween Duncan Ross. the Scotch ath-
lete, who was then touring the coun-
try, and a Detroit wrestler of the
name of Mclaughlin.
Mr.. Hanna held a different view.
IT'S not the right sort of thing for
the Opera House." he said. Don't
book it,"
The nephew ignored Mr.. Hanna's
advice. The match was booked and
pulled off. A few weeks later the
Opera House had new manager.
Senator Hanna's attitude toward his
employees is neither stand-otfish nor
off-hand.
Many a coal miner or a street rail-
way conductor can testify to the fact
that Mark Hanna has slapped him
squarely between the shoulders as he
sang out, cheerily: Good morning,
Bill" But not one has ever had the
Senator crack jokes with him. A joke
is never looked for; but when an en-
ploye meets Hanna the former knows
by experience that he will be asked
such questions as these:
We'll, is everything satisfactory"
How is the family?'
"See any way in which the services
might be improved?"
mo kick coming, eh?"
AS a result of this show of good will,
which also not infrequently makes it
self evident in the shape of comforts
and deicacies, IL the man has answer
ed that his wife or a child Is i'll, the
Senator is Familiarity known among
his thousands of employees as Uncle
Mark"
When Uncle Mark" gives succor to
any one-which is pretty often-he
does not let his left hand know what
the right doeth.'
Some years ago, when Cleveland
was experiencing particularly Sc
we're winter, one of the city's leading
charitable organizations was kept so
beautifully supplied with coal that the
poor suffered very little from lack of
fuel For a long time there was
much mystery on the part Of many of
the organizations officers as to who
was furnishing the coal, and when the
secret did leak out it was through the
over exuberant charity worker
through whom Mr.. Hanna was supply
ing fuel.

TUTORS MUST
RESIDE HERE
School Board to Adopt Rule
Forbidding Employees to
Live in Outside Cities
GUIDED BY CHARTER
Regulations Regarding Ven
tilatiOn and Sanitation Are
to Be Made Very Severe

The Board of Supervisors in its pend
ing revision of the rules governing the
conduct of the public school depart
ment is preparing to incorporate a rule
requiring principals, teachers, janitors
and, in fact, all employees under its
jurisdiction to reside in this city.
The proposed rule will affect some
fifty teachers in the local department
who live in Alameda, Oakland San
Mateo, Berkeley, Fruitvale, Sausalito
and Palo Alto. The rule to be adopted
contemplates making it prohibitory for
school employees to live anywhere else
but in San Francisco. Under the rule
such employees who live in suburban
towns must move to this city.
The board is of the opinion that the
interests of the department will be bet
ter subserved by requiring teachers to
live here. The fact that they are earn
ing their money here seems to be an
argument in favor of the new regula-
ton, regarded from the home rule point
of view.
Some inconvenience has been expe-
rienced in the past, owing to teachers
time when il is foggy or stormy on
the bay. While such experiences have
been very few, still the board reasons
that if all the teachers would conclude
TO live across the bay there would be
some days in the year when the open
! ing of school would be delayed for one
hour and sometimes more. While this
argument has not altogether been the
cause of the favoring of the proposed
new rule, it is regarded as one in it's
favor.
The charter provides that an en-
ploye of the municipal government
must be a resident of this city. While
there is a grave doubt as to whether
the charter governs the administration
of the school department, the Directors
believe that it is a good provision to
follow, and on that account, if for no
other. it will be adopted.
3 The rule on ventilation will be made
extremely rigid by the board and penal
ties will be imposed for it's violation
The Directors are of the opinion that
ventilation is one of the most impor-
tant factors in the proper education of
the pupils. The rule will require that
the temperature of a classroom shall
( be kept at a designated degree with
out variation. To that end there will
be suspended from the ceiling in the
center of each classroom a thermom
eter, so that the teacher may observe
the exact state of the temperature.
Rules affecting the sanitary condi-
tions of the school buildings will also
be adopted and principals will be held
The rules the Board of Education
has been revising for the last two
months are now in the hands of the
printer and will be formally adopted at
the next meeting of the board.
