THE MANAGERS WIFE

THE PRIZE CONTEST story in Our
next SUNDAY MAGAZINE is very fine
tale, intensely modern, written with great
sincerity and skill by Princess Troubetz-
koy, whom most of us know better as
Amelie Rives. because her first story, "The
Quick or the Dead" published more than
twenty years ago,-it was in 1888, to be
exact established her reputation for all
time. That tale made one of the great
story sensations of the century,. And, I'M
like most books that make sensation, its
vogue had an unusually long life. 1t was
not only the daring and the passionate sim
cerity of the tale, the brilliant warmth of its
description, the romanticism born in the
imagination of a young girl without expert
ence, but the admirable literary quality of
the story, that made it great success.
Then too, the authors own personality
had something to do with it. Portraits of
the young woman with her flowing hair,
the classic profile of her beautiful face, be-
came familiar everywhere. When the young
woman came to New York from her native
Virginia was born in Richmond and
reared in great seclusion, being educated
wholly by private tutors made social
sensation as well. The year her literary

ment here-ours, all ours, so long as it may
last! And if you find this quite beyond
your pardon, nevertheless my love shall
live; for none save God could make it die!
And yet | hope for your pardon"
She had closed her eyes and leaned a little
back, in the sweetness and marvellous &c
stasy she had no power at that moment to
deny her heart, which had yearned and
ached for his words.
After moment of silence and intensity he
added, u am not to be forgiven"
ooh, don't say that she begged him sud-
denly. at is IL who must beg forgive
ness. But came to tell you all-every little
thing,-that am not Princess | am
nothing in the world but just"
mot a Princess!" he interrupted sud-
denly, catching at her hand, which he held
with pressure that hurt and crushed, yet
sent mad gladness to her heart. "Not Prin-
cess Thirvinia? Not"
ooh, no, no, mol" she cried "But never
claimed was! Alice never claimed it! We
just-let the rumor go. l don't know why
we did it! We never realized what serious
consequences
"Thurley! Thurley! Thank God!" he
broke in, wildly joyous, unspeakably re-
lieved. II have right to love you then-to
love you and love you and love you'll
She suddenly sprang to her feet, to avoid
the madness of his wooing. "But-wait!"
she cried. owe got to tell you all! am no
one-no one-no one in the world! l don't
belong in your social sphere. I'm only what
Alice has made me. Now-now- can
take it all back if you hke!" She had never
been Drawer, never more beautiful, honest,
splendid, in all her changeful career. She
faced him frankly, her wonderful courage
and candor shining in her eyes, with a light
of love she feared at that moment must be
forever hopeless.
Little hearth he said, his utterance sin
gularly soft and charged with tenderness.
you are my little Princess, my glorious lit
tie Queen! You are what the gods have
made you-rny Thurley-the noblest, sweet
est little woman in the world"
She sank on the bench weakly, her eyes
abruptly filled. ooh, Robley-don't say it,
please" she begged, "if you ever want to
take it back again!"
He sank on his knee, despite all sense of
the time or place, and kissed her hand.
"Comrade!" he said. Beloved"
HE drove the car when at last they knew
= they must return to her avenue home.
They were alone at last in the room wherein
so many emotions had run their course. She
came to him simply, such a wealth of love
overbrimming her eyes that Robley's senses
lifted away from all the things of earth.
He held her passionately in his arms,
while her own arms stole about his neck.
Then they took and gave the wondrous kiss
of glory.
Chapter L. Princess Thur1ey
THE social triumph of Alice Van Kirk was
in no wise diminished when at length
the truth concerning Princess Thirvinia was
known throughout the length and breadth
of Swelldom. Thurley had gained, rather
than lost, admiring hosts, and the natural
interest excited was increased.

was the seasons social masterpiece The
holidays were spent away from town, where
Robley and Thurley, like two Young strip
lngs from the Pantheon, before the pagan
gods and goddesses had lost their pristine
charm, found new delights and new relations
with the earth and stars in the wonder of
their love.
A brilliant procession of social events
marched through the weeks as they sped
The recent past, with its doubts and fears.
its excitementS, intrigues, and startling evo-
lutions, was gliding away on the placid sea
of memory, when one more echo rolled across
from far Hertzegotha, where the young
Grand Duke with bride resembling Thur
ley Ruxton had succeeded to the throne.
1t came in the name of their Majesties,
but bore the signature of Baron Won Hoch-
haus, whose personal letter was attached.

Princess Thirvinia, to the Kingdom of Hertze-
gotha and to Karl Wilhelm Herman, King

with the love of an appreciative and per-
petually grateful people" was the reading
of part of the message which described a
modest, but glorious girl as defender of her
Majesty the Queen and a "PrincesS by
special appointment of Heaven"
1t was triple recognition" There was
first the scroll, gold laid, massive, and i'm
pressive document denoting the "extraor-
binary" service rendered; then, "in partial
liquidation of the States Indebtedness"
gift of two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars; and finally medal and full decoration
of the Royal Legion of Courage.
But the last little contribution, which Sue
ceeded in quite overwhelming the heart of
the princess by appointment of Heaven"
was the merest unofficial scrawl from the
f1o
love of an old man, fond in his own poor
personal capacity, may likewise be ac-
cepted."
THERE was much that was golden and
marvelously sweet to gaze back upon
in wonder as Thurley and Robley, at the
stern of the great Atlantic liner, watched all
America, green with coming spring. dip
slowly down in the purple sea and disappear
behind the earth's rotundity. There was
much that was splendid and dream fulfilling
for them both to contemplate, far out to the
east, where an older world would rise from
the sea, above the rounded bulk of ocean.
But most of all and greater than all was the
world of limitless space and inexpreSsible
splendor that the two beheld when they
looked again in each others eyes. A honey
moon day from the tropics, spiced with the
fragrances of far-off Yucatan, was waiting
lazily by.
Thurley smiled as she gazed at the sun
splash in the water. as it too soon yet" she
said ito ask where I'm going to be taken?"
"To motor through Egypt first" he an
swered happily, "then all about the Cont
nent, and perhaps to Herzegovina"
She chung to his arm and leaned upon his
shoulder, closing her eyes in the sheer de-
light she had no words to express.
Like the Prince in the tale, he leaned in
rapture and kissed her on the lips.
But to all the world of love and ecstasy
the Princess was already wide awake.

there was a large acreage of winter wheat

Some uneasiness was felt in labor circles

does not understand the workings of a

In correspondence made public to-day. It
is stated by the Attorney General that he

of any such pool and requests Mr.. Aiken

II the court shall decide the essential
question involved and not let the case go
off on n technical matter of pleading, we
may have some light which will be Of aid
in the enforcement OF the law against other
combinations of a like character.
Mr. Aiken asserts that if the govern

il has the same legal right TO prosecute

II is certain that bear pressure on

8 cents pound in the present market,

Spinners. This decline has been brought
about by the bear element overselling
