Princess? asked the goatherd Of
Adele when the party stopped at
noon.
The princess turned her head
aside to hide the tears that weIled
UP into her eyes. ut is a great

Tam a stranger and my husband is

"But do you love another?" asked
the goatherd, coming up closely to
the princess, who hung her head
blushing. b
ooh, MOI" replied Adele, II have
no lover In my own country-no
one there love except my father"
Perhaps then in some other
place there is one for whom you
care?" ventured the goatherd with
a sigh. The princess said nothing,
but her face grew crimson.
Just then there came dashing
down the mountain path a party of
robbers. shouting at the top of their
voices and shaking their long
spears in the air. At the sound
all of the guards of the princess
vanished down the road, but the
young goatherd stood his ground.
Placing himself beside Adele. he
struck the first brigand to the earth,
then setting up loud call to the
cowardly guards. he continued to

with father under the sunlight,

cabin as that great brute paced

He tried to think, "She can't get
me-"
And indeed, she couldn't; for the
cabin was as stout as stout might
be- The door was four inches
thick. It's inside bar was of double
strength. The windows were tiny.
The wide chimney top was withed
across.
''She can't get the stock"

after them all, Dolby felt warmer.
But she might trample the corn!
Another chill shook the small cit
izen of the new state.
That precious corn! What
would they do for dodgers and hoe
cakes next winter if the bear tore
or stole the corn?
eff she had sneaked in from the
back, the way a bear is expected to
do, she would have been caught in
the big trap. If she goes into the
field from this side, she may spring
some of the coon traps or the fig

they can't hurt her much; not
enough to drive her away. Pa new

enough to come in the front way"
Then he began to hope: "P'raps
she won't go in the corn, after all"
He used his ears. There were
sounds outside which told him that
she was doing the very thing he
feared
Doby's bare feet made no patter
as he mounted the ladder to the
tiny loft above and peered from
the gable window.
There was the bear walking
along in the moonlight, standing up

Over the rail fence which almost
touched the corner of the cabin she
climbed, exactly as his mother did.

heart act would gladly share your
lot as goatherd."

goatherd. "but I wish to see you

his staff and strobe off down the
dusty road toward the castle. Just
then a royal herald came to show
the way to the apartments set apart
for the princess. On the table in
her room Adele found note say
ing she must come at moonrise to
the fountain in the garden. the goat
herd would like to see her there
for the last time.
So when the first beams trembled
on the water OF the fountain they
found the princess there, her eyes
red with weeping. Down the path
stole the goatherd In his shabby
gown. t

and he disappeared behind a large
screen of flowers. Over the gar
den came the sweet night wind,
signing amid the roses. the moon

water. but the princess hung her
head in misery.
Then suddenly the rosebushes
parted and out stepped-the goat

arrayed in suit of purple velvet,
