were they permitted outside the big front gate.
So Emily, during the awful three days when she
felt herself at the helm of irresponsible ship
that refused to obey the touch of her weak
and trembling but ever-courageous hand upon the
rudder, took them walking continually. She was
out walking with the other children-now 1.-THE
children" simply to the Importantly conscientious
and conscientiously important older sister-when
the formal, or informal, meeting with the Prince
took place.
1t Sunday evening, .the last day OF
troubled dispensation. Tea was over and riotous-
ly merry meal it had BEEN meal the joyous sounds
of which travelled up to the darkened in which
the governess lay trying to sleep and made her
solve to rise the morrow, well or ILL., Tea like
wise had been carried upstairs to the governess
and Nurse Martha-so many children fighting and
squabbling for the honor that the doubtfuly
grateful recipients prayed only for quiet and a
temporary cessation of hostilities. Three family
fights had occurred in the short space of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-03-12

but Emily never yet had been able to walk on
any surface without growing dizzy She
loudly called the fleeing children to return
at least to return long enough to help her
over.
The fleeing children unable to imagine or appre-
cate case of dizziness with such slight foundation
only jeered her from distance. They utterly de-
cned to render the slightest degree of assistance
Duty, always paramount with the conscientious
Emily, decreed that she go to them; the flesh, de-
cidedly weak in the dizzy direction, hung back
from the willing spirit, Pale and puzzled, gddy
but determined, Emily stepped out over the water,
hestated, stood motionless, afraid to eyelash
muscle.
The younger children, unconscious1y brutal came
closer jeered loudly but still refused to return
or convoy her across the stream.
Then out of the dizzy darkness, rapidly bearing
down the heroic little figure perched there in
absurd determination, the sound of a
voice, CHEEKY and pleasant.
Whats the matter children?" Emily started to

The imaginative child, however, found unendng
delight in wondering how and when this meeting
was to be accomplished. Perhaps the Prince would
her. the distressed damsel from some strange
and unknown peril some charge of a mad dog or
attack of base robber; perhaps Mr.. Arthur Durham,
coming step nearer to modern Technology, would
find Miss Emily Wheaton overcome by a sprained
ankle the roadside and would lift her to his horse
and bear her home in triumph. Perhaps-but
why multiply examples since there could be hope
Of completing the list in this day and generation?
All June July and August little Emily, thirteen
years old and romantic, dreamed and imagined,
with a dream and for almost
every hour of the perfect season, just how it
would be.
And in the end-poor, poor little Emy!-the
end of the dream was so far from her mind

had succunbed to one of her periodical attacks of
dyspepsia. In this situation it behooved Emily
as the Oldest of the family and the next in the line
OF governmental succession, to take charge of
affairs.
She assumed, naturally, the sternest of semi
maternal manners and aspects The younger
children, equally naturally assumed and felt
an unprecedented and startling degree of scorn
and characterization. There was only one thing
they would do at Emilys behest and command: go
out walking. An invitation to walk abroad always
pleased them, because only comparatively seldom

ticularly if, as happened to Emily
Wheaton, her parents are in Europe, her
old nurse and governess alike much occupied with
the younger children, and she has just begun to
read, in strictest privacy, "grown-up' novels and
stories IN which exciting things take place
Also, under such circumstances she dreams much
about the Prince soon due to make his appear
ance. Not about the possible husband-his dav
comes much later-but about the Prince He
wears the guise of the latest nove1-hero to whom
she has lost her childish heart-between the thir-
teenth and fourteenth birthday-or perchance

pecting of any cause for childish

been reduced to tears
Lets go for walk suggested Emily,
who, though not of the combatants had been one
of the weepers. "We1l have plenty of time before
dark"
The idea was received with loud accamation
The governess and nurse, being consulted declared
each her entire willingness to be left alone and
unattended, if by the means silence might be
enjoyed for the briefest interval. Favorite dolls
and toys were snatched up hastily The cohort

was Emilys second suggestion. Privately she

once more the crew loudly
proclaimed satisfaction. They left
the road in a body and plunged
into the cool, understanding dusk
of the forest.
Again, poor Emily! She little
knew that she strolled to meet her
Fate.
The younger children tore on be-
fore her, shouting, laughing, bick-
ering, altogether enjoying them
selves hugely. In their wake the
quieter head of the family also
yielded herself to deepest enjoy
ment. With slow steps, 1anguid
eyelids and gaze half smiling, half
wistful, she dreamed of her coming
Prince.
Tonight, she felt, would be such
an ideal time to meet him. Her
best white dress, coming almost
down to her ankles, hungin grace
full folds about her, as it would
not have hung had either the gov
erness or Nurse Martha been well
enough to take notice" The
clustering curls had been dragged
from their usual resting-p1ace at
the nape of her neck to be confined
with harsh pins in a wonderful
structure several inches higher.
And the lovely, new, bronze
dancing-slippers, SO conspicuously
out of place in the forest, really
hurt her little when she was care
ful where she stepped.
Emily's mental conception of
herself was many inches taller than
her physical actuality; she moved
with melting grace and grandeur
iii her mind and imagination.
What more fitting than that the
Prince should tread stately down
the dim shady aisles of the wood
to meet her?
And presently, though not en-
tirely in the way she pictured, the
Prince really came.
The shouting group of younger
children got some distance in adj
vance of her as she dreamed and
wandered. By and by she came
upon a little forest stream that ran,
purling and ripping, in low bed
some distance beneath the grassy
bank from which she surveyed
it. A fallen tree-trunk showed
clearly the manner of crossing;
r yet had been able to walk on
face without growing dizzy. She

herO-WOTSmp.
And the Prince, be he living or
literary. well might rejoice humbly
in the pure and passionate homage
of the tilirteen-year-old adorer.
Never again, in all probability,
will he be blessed with regard so
tenderly true
The Prince, for Emily Wheaton,
bore the semblance of Arthur
Durham. a young man of the fam
lily living on the next summer
place" to that of the Wheatons'.
He had known Emily Wheaton by
sight when she was a baby and he
a small shaver; but he had not now
the faintest idea of her existence,
having passed the intervening sum-
mers IN far-distant quarters. He
never dreamed that when he rode
by on an ordinary old horse, the
strong summer sunshine blistering
his nose and bringing out all the
tired wrinkles about his eyes and
forehead, an eager-faced little
girl of thirteen, watching him
through the hedge, endowed him
with a dream-halo that made of
him a knightly Prince in shining
armor, and a prancing charger of
the grave old bay. If he noticed
Emily at all, when as occasionally
happened they met on the pleasant
road running between the summer
cottages and the village, it was
only as one of the NOISY brood of
children that seemed bent on dis
turbing his morning slumbers with
ill-timed shouts and cries.
He could not well have noticed
her as the largest of these children
alas for poor Emily's pride
and desire for superabundant
inchesl Marcella, a good two years
younger, was far more lengthy
of limb.
But it troubled sunny-souled
Emily no whit that the Prince
failed to doff his cleaning helmet

riding-cap-When he came into her
presence. Sufficient for the mo-
ment the dream thereof, surely; for
the present the dream was all
sufficient. The time and place of
formal meeting might safely be
left with Fate.
