Our Daily $bort Story

There was nothing like 1t in the lines he recited nightly and yet twas deliv- cred with strange dramatic power. As the princess looked at the fcol, who was a man. and at the courier, who was not. her color came and went and the fine blue eyes glowed with some thing akin to pride.
 Get out of here!" roared the noble man.
 The fool had meekly obeyed far less lusty tones, and 1t seemed odd this menace did not move him now.
 You will not kneel? Then sec"
 Down to this hour the prince could not give you veracious account of how it all happened, but he recalls that when his eyes opened he was lying in the corner of the room and that there seemed to be funny little specks danc- ing mockingly in front of him. He did not want to die in the presence of the lady. so he told her he was truly re- pentant that business troubles had so engrossed him for the instant he had failed to realize he was of high degree, and had acted the knave; with her kind permission he would now withdraw and worry her no further.
 That was the abdication of the prince.
 When he was gone Yaco told the princess that out of his savings he had paid the DlIlS OI iIle TelIuu6 OI lHS footlight kingdom and had furnished them tickets for their homeward jour ney Would she deign to suffer a like consideration at his plebian hand?
 "Yaco," said the princess, as she walked toward him and gave him a grateful little hand. thou art the real prince"
 q would 'twere so, lady" said the jester, flor then I might dare to tell thee a long-cherish secret of mine."
 She ran to her trunk and took out a paper crown. which she placed upon his head
 Now tell 1t, your highness."
 The dancing blue eyes invited dis closures.
 "Why-why-!n truth I've heard them say it oft enough, but just now my dull head fails to serve me. and I cannot rightly choose my words-but- but"
 She looked up into the honest face and understood.
 T know" she said. simply. and l love you, too. Yaco, my king"
