And on his high seat the States
Councillor, Leopold Won Dessauer,
smiled we'll pleased
After the tourray of the Black
Eagle Leopold Won Dessauer had gone
to bed early feeling younger and
lighter than he had done for years
Part of his scheme for these northern
provinces of his fatheTland consisted
in gradual substitution of a few strong
states for many weak ones. For this
reason he smiled when he saw the
eyes of his secretary shining like
stars
Won Dessauer was lying awake and
thinking of the strange chances which
help or mar the lives of men and
women, when a sudden sense of
shock, a numbness spreading upward
through his limbs, the rising of rheum
to his eyes, and humming in his
ears announced the approach of one
of those attacks to which he had been
subject ever since he had been
wounded in a duel some years before
"a duel in which his present Prince
and his late master, Karl, the Miller's
son, had both been engaged.

PIumaae of the Bluebird.

OF the male bluebird Thoreau said:
HE carries the sky on his back. To
this John Burroughs added, and the
earth on his breast" The birds back,
wings and tail, chin and throat are
vivid blue, while his breast and Hanks
are a chestnut brown and his abdomen
a dirty white. The female is very
much duller in coloring, often having
q reddish tone that extends from the
middle of the back over the shoulder.
The Seminole Indians say that the
male bluebird once flew so high that
his back rubbed against the sky,
which impaired to him its own azure
tint. Returning to earth, his wife SO
admired his new coat that she deter
mined to have like one for herself
and the next morning flew away to
get it; but the day proving somewhat
cloudy, the color given to her dress
was not SO brilliant as was that re-
ceived by her mate.

Practiced What He Preached.

Rev. Denis p O'Flynn, of New York
city, used to say that priests ought to
die poor and he practiced what he
preached. Aside from a valuable IL
brary given to the Paulist fathers he
has left no discoverable estate-no
money in bank, no money in the rec
tory. HE died as poor as the proverb-
ial church mouse" says his assistant,
Father Corrigan. What little insur-
ance he carried will barely cover the
funeral expenses. He never saved
penny for himself. After keeping the
house on his meager salary he gave
away all he had"

He made a wry face as twinge Of
pain caught him. 1t passed and he
resumed.
GO, Jorian," he said, tap light
upon his chamber door. There is
much to order ere at nine o'clock he
must adjourn to the summer palace
to meet the Prince"
Jorian raped low, with more rever-
ence than is common from captains to
secretaries of legations. At the sound
Johann Pyrmont clapped his hand to
the hip where his sword should have
been.

about with keen alertness, and in
voice which seemed at once sweeter
and more commanding than even the
most imperious master-builder would
naturally use to his underlings.
"I-Jorianl His Excellency is taken
suddenly ill and babe me come for
you"
Immediately the secretary opened
the door, and in a few seconds stood
at the old mans bedside.
Here they talked low to each other,
the young man with his hand laid ten
Derby on the forehead of his elder.
Only their last words concern us at
present.
This will serve to begin my bust
ness and to finish yours. Thereafter
the sooner you Aeturn to Kernsberg

The young man took the Ambassa-
doris papers and went out. Dessauer
took a composing draught and lay
back with sigh.

"that to compose your wits you must
do it through the heart, but in the
case of the old through the stomach.
"'Tis a strange draught he hath
gotten" said the soldier, indicating
the door by which the secretary had
gone forth. eff l be not mistaken,
much water shall flow under bridge
ere his sickness be cured"
AS soon as he had reached his own
chamber Johann laid the papers upon
the table without glancing at them.
He went again to the window and
looked across the city.
To-day I shall see the Prince!" he
said.
It was exactly nine of the clock
when he set out for the palace. He
was attired in the plain black dress
Of a secretary, with only the narrow
est corded edge and collar OF rough
scrolled gold.
At the great door of the outer pa
vilion he intimated his desire to the
officer in charge OF the guard.

CHAPTER v.

Ten miles outside the boundary OF
the little hill state of Kernsmerg, the
embassage of Plassenburg was met by
another cavalcade bearing additional
instructions from the Princess Hell
enc. The leader was a slender youth
of middle height, the accuracy OF
whose form gave evidence of much
agility. He was dark-skinned, of an
olive complexion, and with black hair
which curled crisply about his small
head. His eyes were dark and fine,
looking straight and boldly out upon
all corners.
Your Excellency," he said to the
Ambassador, Il bring you the most
recent instructions from their High
nesses Hugo and Helene of Plassen-
burg. They sojourn for the time be-
Ing in the city of Thorn, where they
build new palace for themselves. l

of the master builders. | have skill
in plans, and | bring you these for
your approval and in order to go over
the rates of cost with you, as Treas
urer of the Plassenburg and the
Wclfsmark."
Dessauer took, with every token
of Difference, the sheaf of papers so
carefully enwrapt and sealed with the
seal of Plassenburg.
81 thank you for your diligence,
good master architect" he said, Il
shall peruse these at my leisure, and,
I doubt not. call upon you frequently
for explanations"
The young man rode on at his side,
modestly waiting to be questioned.
What is your name, sir?' asked
Won Dessauer, so that all the escort
might hear.
81 am called Johann Pyrmont," said
the youth promptly, and with engag-
ing frankness; my father is a Ham
burg merchant, trading to the Spanish
ports for Gil and wine, but | follow

is common with the young" said the
Ambassador, smiling shrewdly. 80,

ticed yourself to an architect?"
The young man bowed.
Nay, sir" he said, 'but my good
father could deny me nothing on
which l had set my mind"

his breath; mo. nor anyone else!"
1t had been a favorite scheme OF
dead princes of CORTLAND to unite
to their fat acres and populous mer-
camille cities the hardy mountaineers
and pastoral uplands of Kernsberg.
There had come to Joan's father,
Henry, called the Lion, and the late
Prince Michael of CORTLAND, a
thought. One had a daughter, the
other a son. So with that frank care
lessness of the private feelings of the
individual which has ever distin-
guished great politicians, they decreed
that, as condition of succession,
their male and female heirs should
marry each other.

as it was called, had received the

at last be united and the long wars

The plan has taken everything into
consideration except the private char
acters of the persons principally af-
fected, Prince Louis Of CORTLAND, and
the young Duchess Joan.
It was the last day of the famous
tournament of the Black Eagle in the
princely city of CORTLAND. Prince
Louis had sent out an escort to bring
in the travellers and conduct them
with honor to the seats reserved for
them. The Ambassador and High

QUEER PUZZLE IN NUMBERS
One Com bination That Can Be Null
tiplied with But Little
Trouble.

Persons who like to puzzle their nod
dies over queer combinations of figures
will find many things to interest them
in the number 142,S57, says the Brook
Ign Eagle. If you multiply it by or
or by or by or by each answer will
contain the same digits merely trans
posed. To multiply it by 2 simply trans
poses the first two figures to the last two
places, thus: 2S5,714, while to multiply
it by 8 you transpose only the first figure
to the last place, thus, 428,571. To null
tiply it by you transpose the last two
figures to the first two places, thus,
81 ,428, while to multiply it by 5 you
transpose only the last figure to the
first place, thus, 714,2S5. To multiply it
by 6 you merely shift the cut" that is
to say, you transDose the two sets Of
triplets, placing the first three figures in
the last three places, thus, S57,142. If
you multiply it by 7 you get something
entirely new, the answer containing
not one of. the figures in the original
The Globe-republican., 1906-05-10

number. Indeed, IT VIII contain onIy
one digit. Try 1t and see how near to
100000 you can make it come.
If you wish to pursue the exercise YOU
can multiply the original 142, 1857 by s
merely by deducting / from the final
and placing it before the initial 1,
the result being 1,142,S56. And II you
don't mind little farfetching you can
multiply it by by nipping the out of
the second place, changing it to and 3
(Which make ~ and placing them at the
end, thus, 1,2S5,713.
Another little trick you can play with
this original number is to add all its
component digits together and make
", thus plus plus plus plus r,ius
equals q. The and the of this sum
added together equal 9. Now split the
original number in the middle and add
the two halves together and each col
umn foots 8, thus: 142 plus S57 equals
800. Then, If you feel inclined, you can
add those three 9's together and get your
27 again, which is the sum of all the
digits in each of the products of all the
multiplications you have made, except
ing the one, which is 10000.
There now, perhaps this thing has
gone far enough to prove that the num-
Der 1887 is very interesting one,
and II you are not by this time in
hopeless mental muddle it isn't my
fault.

Compulsory Education

Even in colonial times a law of the
general court Of Massachusetts decreed
that in every town the selectmen
should prosecute those who refused to
train their children in learning and
labor" and fine of 20 shillings was
imposed upon those who neglected to
teach their children 80 much learning
as may enable them perfectly to read
the English tongue" But it was not
until the nineteenth century that state
laws with specific penalties were
enacted In Massachusetts a truant
law was passed in 1850, and a COM
pulsory law in 1852, requiring mini
mum of IL weeks attendance on school
each year for children between the
ages of eight and fourteen. To-day in
Massachusetts child is required to at
tend the full time.
