The marriage of your charming
daughter to the son of such and such
a king will cement the union Of the
two nations"
Then there was perfunctory be.
,hrothal and, presto, the monarch's
charming daughter and the kings son
were married.
Not so nowadays; the princesses
are exhibiting the Independent spirit
Of the day, and each, like any daugh.
ter Of the people, IS declaring that she
will marry the man of her heart-or
no man.
One of these independent young la
dies is the Grand Duchess Olga, the
scventeen-year-old and Oldest daugh'
ter OF the Car.
When the two Caesars, the czar and
kaiser, met a few days ago in Finnish
waters, It was reported In every cap
ital of Europe that match would be
arranged between this young lady and
Prince Adalbert, the Kaisers third
son, who is twenty eight years old
Prince Adalbert accompanied his
imperial father on the yacht Hohen-
lollern to meet the czar, as cabled
to the Chicago Examiner. Such an al.
lance would be of immense political
importance; it would strengthen the
bonds between the two great EN-.
pires. France, Russia's present ally,
would regard it as most ominous.

solely political. Prince Adalbert, like
so many young sailormen, has a row
ing fancy, but it has turned rather
steadfastly toward pretty actress
To end this infatuation his father had
determined to send the prince with
the German squadron, which visited
New York recently. But the German
emperor, who has become a great
matchmaker, changed his mind and
took Prince Adalbert with him to the
Baltic port.
That much has been made public.

for Grand Duchess Olga Is her fathers
favorite child.
Blushingly the youthful grand duch-
ess confessed to her father that she
was not Indifferent to the handsome
Prince Adalbert's attentions. But she
had given her heart to her cousin,
Grand Duke DimitM Paulovitch, son
of the czar's uncle, Grand Duke Paul,
whose second marriage was the cul-
mination Of a passionate romance.
And Grand Duchess Olga confessed
that she and Paul, a fine soldier,
twenty-one years old, had spoken OF
their affection, and that she wore hid
den diamond pendant as remem-
brance Of these wards.
So the grand duchess had her way,
and Prince Adalbert went his.

his uncle.

Dangerous Exercise.

Every person who has received
gymnasium training is aware of the
fact that an exercise which calls for
painful effort on the part Of the be-
ginner is often performed almost
without any conscious effort at all
after a certain amount Of training has
been received Again, 1t is perfectly
well known that brute strength alone
does not make gymnast, and that
simple exercise may offer great diff
f,culty to muscular and we'll develop
ed individual who has not been train
ed In the gymnasium. The explana
ton for this is made plain In an ar
ticle by Prof. du Bots Raymond in Die
Umschau. who points out that one OF
the essential functions Of gymnasium
work is not so much to build up mus
Gle as to train nerves and nerve
groups to work in proper unison and
coordination.

he placed the stethoscope to her heart
and began to listen to the futtering
beats of that organ.
"Oh, wait! Stop" she cried in
laughing confusion, as she arose from
her chair. Il am not I'LL"
But" he expostulated, puzzled
pucker in his brows, didn't you come

"No!" she protested. II came with

His discontinue was soon relieved
by his boyish mirthful laugh which
rang out heartily and wholesomely.

"You see I expected no one but in

she acknowledged.
He was about to explain that he
was only substitute doctor when the
door opened and patient entered
Miss Grayson at once left the office.
Bring your aunt down at any time
this morning." he said, holding the
door for her to pass out.
For an hour and a half, he me
chanically listened to hearts and filled
out slips, while his own heart beat
quickly at each opening of the door
in expectation of seeing again his
first caller.
At II o'clock he closed the Office
and hurried to the grounds, confident
that she would be out of doors. He
finally found her sitting on the wood

hE FIXED THE DOCTOR
FINAL MESSAGE OF SPANIARO
DYING IN HOSPITAL.
Not Black Hand Letter, as Nurse
Feared, But Instructions to His
Brother Not to Pay the
Medical Man.

In New York hospital a cadaver-
Gus Spanard, with the aid OF oxygen
and a pump, was Etaving off the final
moment of exit.
Rallying temporarily, he stretched
out a hand and chtched at the arm
OF the nurse, motioning her to lean
over and put her ear to his mouth
My doctor go?"
Yes; he's gone"
Shut e door"
Lock him." he begged-it was the
custom to humor the dying.
He beckoned her closer and pulled
her down to him again. You make
pl lomise?"
Yes, indeed; what is IT,
Get paper. pencil. and-"hat you
call?-envelope."
Shielding his writing with one hand
he managed to scrawl a single line on
the note paper and to address the
message, but before loosening his
hold on the paper he called her TO
him once more.
Now you promise for me again!
You promise you not show this to doc
tor?-not show 1t tonight, nurse--not
to anybody? Just mail it-you prom
ise?"
She nodded
He slipped the sheet from the en-
velope once more grinning with what
had every appearance of tiendish ex-
ultation.
THAT fix him." he muttered. That
fix him."
An hour later. when the doctor re-
turned, he found the nurse crying,
He died fifteen minutes ago, and l
don't know what to do ! ought to
mail this, but I'm afraid it's some
Black Hand business or something.
Would you be willing to look It over
and see If it's all right to send? You

letter.
He glanced at the one single line
and shook his head.

whispered.

brother. He just writes, Don't pay

of the tables chatting with man
whose face seemed familiar to him.
AS he passed, he heard her explaining
to her companion that he was the doc
tor. During the meal his memory sue
ceeded in identifying the man as one
with whom he had placed a large or.
der for goods couple of weeks be-
fore.
After dinner, he was unfortunate in
not being able to get glimpse of her,
and he returned to the doctors office
from where he was summoned to the
bedsides of patients who were con-
fined to their rooms with slight all
ments. After this he strolled again
through the grounds. When near a
little vine-clad pergola, he heard her
voice. In answer thereto he heard am
other voice saying: mo, there is only
one doctor in the institution, Doctor
Morgan, a kindly elderly gentleman
with white hair"
Morgan reflected, In CONSERVATION,
that the girls companion at breakfast
had doubtless informed her that he
was manager of an automobile cons
pany, and now this person was con-
frming her suspicious. At this mo-
ment q bellboy came to inform him
he was wanted to prescribe for a new
patient.
By the time he was at liberty, it
was the dinner hour. When Miss
Grayson came into the diningroom,
she gave him an odd look, and a rath-
er distant bow. Again she finished
her meal before he had left the ROOM
AS he came out he gladly welcomed
his uncle who had returned.
"Well, Fred, how did you make it?'
Fine! Uncle, don't you want me to
remain a couple of weeks and help
you out?'
"Indeed do! I thought your love
for the profession would return. But
must go in to dinner
"Come with me moment first"
His uncle followed his swiftly strid'
Ing nephew to the veranda.
Uncle, do you know that white
haired woman, the one next to the
beautiful girl?"
"surely. She has been here all sum
mer."
Then introduce me to her and eX'
plain that you left me in charge to-
day"
Together they approached the two
women.
Mrs. Benson" said the elder physi'
clan, "let me present my nephew, DR.
Frederick Morgan. | left him In
charge today as | was called out OF
the city"
She in turn presented Miss Grayson
and then announced her intention Of
dining. She was accompanied by the
older doctor, and Morgan slipped into
the vacated chair.
"The stethoscope is wonderful in
strument," he said grayely. I'm that
half moment listened to your heart,
learned that you jumped too readily
to conclusions"
81 didn't need a stethoscope," she
smiled demurely, ito tell me that you
did the same. Think how you mis-
took me for patients"
1--WE are certainly quits" he laughed.
Then, as the notes of waltz floatod
out from the wide hall, he continued:
"The stethoscope told me something
more-that you were fond OF dancing.
And | am to be here two weeks and
help my uncle. Tomorrow, you may
bring your aunt to the office. But,
come. Can you resist that music!"
do you think" she asked sweetly'
as they went inside, "that tomorrow
you will know all of Aunt Amantha's
characteristics"
