A Royal Romance.

The second son Of Prince Oscar II.

while at Bournemouth. She was one
OF the ladies in waiting to the Swedish
crown princess, and King Oscar wished
his son to make an alliance with one
OF the royal houses of Europe. The
difficulty seemed one to be met only
by drastic steps on the part of the
lovers, but Queen Sophie's heart was
won, and she 1t was who obtained the
kings consent. She was very i'll, and
a dangerous operation was the only
chance of saving her life. IF under

she asked the king, and of course the
king promised. A year later the queen
was quite well again. The lovers were
in her room when the king approached.
At the door he stood and listened.
Miss Munck was singing to the queen,
and he waited until it was over. Then
he advanced, held out one hlnd to his
son and gave his other to Miss Munck,
and so his pledge was fulfilled and the
couple came into their happiness.

escape. 1t was when he was running

One day a mild hammered Russian

a valise In his hand. He was heavily

and arms like George Esau. He hunt

quietly, almost bashfully. "Fm to be

burdened only with absolute necessi-

Cutting Down Weight.
Because of the Importance of a light
and efficient equipment much care was
taken TO eliminate every ounce of
weight. The sleds were made of hick-
ory. the lightest wood consistent with
great endurance. but every needless
fiber was gouged out. The iron shoes
were ground thin and in every way the
weight of nearly everything was re-
duced even after leaving headquar-
tiers.
The little train. therefore, which fol-
lowed me into the farther mystery
was composed of two sleds. each

The ice in Eureka and Nansen

Willing Savage Hands.
Thus we managed TO keep in game

the end of known lands. Camping In
the chill of the frowning cliffs of the
northernmost coast tSvartevogl, we
looked out over the heavy ice of the
polar seas through eyes which had
been hardened to the worst of polar
