Hedwig's New Costume

Il tnlnK Ill tell you, II you don't nina.
And bought a fig lady. I've saved the legs
for you"
Hedwig's New Costume
Fortune smiled on Milky that day. Had.
indeed. been smiling daily for some three
weeks. Singularly enough. the Princess He'd

early age of two, and who had been wont
to boast that she could ride any horse in her
grandfather's stables. was taking riding les
sons, From IL to (which was. also sim
gularly, the time Prince Ferdinand William

cess Hedwig rode also. Rode diviney Rode
saucly. Rode. when Milky was ahead. ten
derby.
To tell the truth. Prince Ferdinand Will
lam Otto rather hoped this morning that
Hedwig would not be there. There was
difference in Milky when Hedwig was around,
When she was not there he would do all
sorts of things. like jumping on his horse
while II was going and riding backward in
the saddle, and SO on. He had once even
tried jumping on his horse as 1t galloped past
him. and missed, and had been awfuly
ashamed about 1t. But when Hedwig was
there there was no skylarking' They rode
around and the riding master put up jumps
and they took them. And finally Hedwig
would get tired and ask Milky please to be
amusing while she rested. And he would
not be amusing at all. The Crown Prince
felt that she never really saw Milky at his
best.
Hedwig was there She had a new
habit and a gardenia in her buttonhole and
she gave Milky her hand to kiss. but only
nodded to the Crown Prince.
Hello, Otto I" she said. II thought you'd
have ball and chain on your leg today"
There's nothing wrong with my legs" said
Prince Ferdinand William Otto, staring at
the new habit. But yours look rather queer"
Hedwig flushed The truth was that she
was wearing for the nrst time a cross-saddle
habit OF coat and trousers. And coat and
trousers were forbidden to the royal women.
She eyed Otto with defiance and turned an
appealing glance to Milky. But her voice
was very dignihed.
II bought them myself" she said. II
consider It a perfectly modest costume and
much safer than the other"
1T is quite iovely--on you. Highness," said
Milky.
In a stin chair at the edge of the rims
Hedwgs lady In waiting sat resignedly. She
was an elderly woman and did not ride. Just
now she was absorbed In wondering what
would happen to her when the Archduchess
discovered this new freak Of Hedwig's Per-
haps she would better ask permission to go
into retreat for q time. The Archduchess.
who had no religion herself. approved of II
In others. She took a soft rubber from her
pocket and tried to erase spot from her
white kid gloves.
The discovery that Hedwig had two per-
fectly good legs rather astonished Prince
Ferdinand william Otto. He felt something
like CONSERVATION.
I've meyer seen any one else dressed like
| that" he observed as the horses were brought
up.
Hedwis colored again She looked like an
absurdly pretty boy. Don't be a silly" she
replied rather sharply. Every one does It.

doors. A stray dog that had wandered into
the courtyard watched them gravely.
IT WISH" said Prince Ferdinand William
Otto. that might have dog"
"A dog! Why?'
well, It would be company. Dogs are
very friendly. Yesterday ! met boy who
has a dog II sleeps on his bed at night"
''You have a good many things, you

But a dogs different" He felt the differ.
ence but he could not put It into words. And
I'd rather have only one horse. I'd get better
acquainted with It,"
Milky looked back Although II had been
the boast Of the royal family for century
that It could go about unattended that Its
only danger was from the overZeal OF the
people in showing their loyalty, not since
the death of Prince Hubert had this been true
In fact. No guards or soldiers accompanied
them. but the secret police were always near
at hand. So Milky looked, made sure that
man In civilian clothing was close at their
heels, and led the way across the Square to
the riding school.
A small crowd lined up and watched the
passing Of the little Prince. As he passed,
men lifted their hats and women bowed. He
smiled right and left. and took two short
steps to one of Nikky's long ones
81 have a great many friends" he said
with a sigh Of content as they nearsd the
riding school, II suppose don't really need
a dog"
Look here" said Milky, after a pause. He
was not very quick In thinking things out. He
placed. as a fact. more reliance on his right
arm than on his brain But once he had
thought a thing out. 1t stuck. Look here,
Highness. you didn't treat your friends very
well yesterday"
IT know" said Prince Ferdinand william
Otto meekly But Prince Ferdinand william
Otto had thought out a defense. II got back

worth It. A policeman shook ms!'
