1t was said at the recent marriage
IF Princess Margaret of Connaught to
Prince Gustavus of Sweden that it was
one of those rare exceptions-a royal
love match. Perhaps SO, but there is
no such proof of it as was furnished
by the marriage of another Swedish
prince in England seventeen years
ago and under very different circum-
stances. Just because that was moth
ing but a love match, entirely of
Cupid's making, no ceremonious fuss
was made over it, and the European
sovereigns ali held aloof from it and
did not even send wedding presents to
the bride and bridegroom. Prince Os-
car Carl Auguste, Duke of Gotland,
second son of the king and queen of
Sweden, was 25 years old when he fell
in love with his mothers prettiest and
favorite maid of honor, Miss Ebba de
Munck. She was scion of one of the
oldest and most distinguished of Swe-
dish families and could claim to have
more blue blood in her veins than the
descendant of the man whom Bona
parte had placed on the throne of
Sweden. Prince Oscar told his father
as much, but that did not soften the
kings opposition. He insisted that his
handsome son should wed only within
the charmed circle of royalty, and be
content with the pick of some half

Reporters Joke With Loeb.

printing funny stories about William
Loeb, private secretary to President
Roosevelt, during the last campaign
alleging that he was the champion
blame-taker in America" because he
was always so willing to assume re

wrong at the White House, Mr. Loeb
laughed with the very men who wrote
the yarns. But one day his patience
was taxed. The Presidents train had
been delayed seven hours between
Philadelphia and New York while he
was going to Oyster Bay. Next morn

these flaming headlines: presidents

dozen pretty princesses. The course
of true love never did run smooth for
many a long day. Miss Munck her
self refused to listen to the princes
suit and absolutely forbade him to
make the sacrifice for her sake. She
resigned her court appointment, and
when she found that her royal lover
was bent on following her to her faith
er's house, she left home and entered
a hospital to train as a nurse.
But Oscar would not give her up.
Rather would he lay aside all his tt
ties and privileges that his royal birth
conferred upon him. In his despair he
turned to his mother for comfort and
aid. Queen Sophie, herself princess
of Nassau, had her own prejudice to
conquer-but she was greatly attached
to her favorite maid of honor, and
still more deeply, of course, did she
love her son. He convinced her that
he could never be happy as the hus-
band of any other woman. The mother
in her triumphed over the queen. She

in the child's life he. did not stop to

He came to the little fat to see Pab-

with fear. Just before she went upon
the stage to sing on the night of her

Pab1eta sat ON the stairs and sang
The songs that she sang were ditties
of the street, or songs that she heard
at the theaters where she and her
mother went as often as they could
afford. Pableta was eight years old,
but instead of the thin and piping
treble in which most children OF that
age sing, she had a voice. Pableta's
mother, coming up the stairs with an
elderly man, paused to tilt back the
little pointed chin and kiss the child s
singing lips to silence. Pableta went
on up the stairs with her mother and
the man. In the sitting room of the
little fat she sang again, presently,
and the man took her between his
knees and pushed the hair back from
her brow and kissed her. she has the
divine gift-the little one" he said.
You really think that she will be
a singer" Pableta's mother asked
TREMENDOUSLY. And the great master
answered: 'She has the divine gift
There is song bird in the little
throat" He laid his fingers softly on
Pableta's throat as he spoke. He gave
her mother many directions before he
went away-how to care for Pableta's
voice, when the training should begin,
how she must take care of the child s
health and keep her well and strong
to stand the strain that falls upon
singer.
Pableta and her mother lived alone
in the little fiat. Of her father Pab-
leta seldom heard. Her father and
mother had first known each other at
a little lake resort in the north. Her
mother, who was only lonely girl,

eyes of Pab1eta's fathers people, bat
an added cause for infatuation on the
part of the boy himself. He was the
son of a southern planter and he mar
RED the little actress before the sum-
mer was over. But the marriage was
not a happy one and before Pableta
was born the two separated, each go
ing their different ways. Pableta's
mother and Dick Worley were di-
vorced and the child was left with the
mother. The father was not anxious
to gain possession of the baby, the
mother was, for Pableta had become
the one tie that held Mary Worley to
life and the mother loved the baby
devotedly.
So Pableta grew up hearing little of
her father Mary Worley liked to
think that the child belonged wholly
to her. And every penny of which
she stinted herself in order to give to
Pableta, every sacrifice that she made
for the child's sake made the little
daughter dearer to her.
The day that Pableta sat on the
stairs and sang, when the great mas
ter had praised her voice was years in
the past and Pableta was grown. The
song bird in the slender throat sang
more sweetly than ever for the years
had strengthened it, and careful train
ing under the best of teachers had
developed it and had taught
Pableta to use her gift wisely. And
tonight Pableta was to make her de-
but Her mother was far more excited
over the event than was Pableta, for
the girl had grown up strong y and
healthy, while the mother was old be-
fore her time.

home Pableta's father had read of his
little daughter and the future predict
ed for her. Dick Worley had married
again and he had other children He
had seldom thought of his oldest child
whom he had never seen, but as he
read of the girl whom already the crit
fcs praised, there came to him the
thought that he would go to New York
and would see her make her debut.
Then he would bring her home with
him. The years had been years of
plenty for him aud he was wealthy
He could Ave her whatever her heart
desired. OF the mother and her share
