= rr Bevin Bellefonte, Pa., Jujy 3, 1908. vee By... MARTHA COBB SANFORD. Copyrighted, 1908, by Literary Associated How Katherine Searle came to be Jack Carrington’s ward belongs to the early chapters of a long story. It dates back, in fact, fifteen years, when Kath- erine was a three-year-old baby and Carrington a young man of twenty. But at the beginning of the present chapter, after having been “finished off” at a very proper boarding school, Katherine had just returned from a winter in Europe with Carrington’s married sister. And Carrington as he sat in the twi- light on the luxuriously appointed porch of his out of town house was ex- pectantly awaiting a promised after dinner talk with her. In accordance with a long and care- fully formulated plan he felt that the time had now come for him to take Katherine seriously in hand and to prepare her for the prominent part she was sure to play in a world of admir- Ing but, alas, inconstant men. Katherine, radiant in a fluffy glory of some soft, delicate stuff beyond man’s comprehension, at lengii tripped out through the casement door and perched herself affectionately on the arm of her guardian's easy chair. He took her little white hand in his and patted it gently as he would a child's. “l suppose you haven't begun to think about marriage yet, little girl?’ he asked by way of tactful beginning. “Begun to think about it?" echoed Katherine. “Why, I've always thought about it—always and always.” Carrington looked up in amazement. “H'm,” he mused. “I haven't begun a moment too soon, it seems.” Then aloud he added: “So you've always thought about marriage, mw dear? Well, well! And what have you thought about it?” Katherine threw her arms about his neck and gave him an energetic hug. Then she placed a cushion at his feet and settled herself comfortably. “I'll tell you,” she began confidential- ly. “I've always adored fairy stories, and of course there's a glorious young prince in every fairy story, you know. Well, it was always fun when I was a little girl to imagine myself the beau- tiful princess whom the prince was looking for—and now I'm grown up, guardy, dear, it's just as much fun,” she finished naively. Carrington laughed heartily. He was greatly relieved. “Imaginary princes are all very harmless and proper, little Kit,” he commented Induigently, “but pretty soon you'll begin to think about real everyday men.” “Pretty soon?’ she queried teasingly. “Dear me!” exclaimed Carrington, with an unconcern he was far from feeling. “You've not thought about real men already?’ “You'd call Harvey Dunton a real man, wouldn't you?’ Katherine asked, looking at him roguishly. Carrington’'s jesting mood passed in a flash. He shut his teeth with sud- den vexation. “Where did you meet Harvey Dun- ton?’ he inquired searchingly. “On the steamer coming back,” an- swered Katherine. “Your sister intro- duced him. He's really very devoted to me. He's coming around later this evening. He sings, you know, and I've promised to play his accompani- ments. Don't you like him, guardy? You don’t look as though you do.” “Oh, Dunton’s all right,” he answer- ed good naturedly, suddenly alive to the fact that he must play his hand cautiously. “You evidently like him, little girl?” he parried. “I don’t know really, guardy. But he likes me. That's as far as we've got.” was Katherine's ingenuous reply. “I'm not taking him very seriously because, sou see, somehow he isn't exactly like the prince I've been expecting.” “I should hope not,” muttered Car- rington. “What did you say?” “1 said he's coming across the lawn now,” evaded Carrington, “I'll stay out here and listen to the musie if you don't mind, Kit.” “Just as you like, guardy, dear,” Colleges & Schools. laughed Kitty. “I'll come out again after he's gone and tell you how we got on.” “Well?” asked Carrington an hour or so later as Katherine appeared sud- denly in the doorway. She did not answer, but stood as if spellbound. This was a bad sign—a very bad sign, as Carrington interpret- ed it. “Well? he ventured again, this time a trifle peremptorily. “Guardy,” exclaimed Katherine, her rapt expression breaking into the mer- riest of smiles, “I'd forgotten you were out here.” “That's the way it seemed to me,” re- turned Carrington dryly. “Dunton has a very alluring voice, hasn't he? Come over here, you mischievous kitten, and confess, as you promised.” Katherine came slowly. “I'l tell you. guardy,” she began hesitatingly, perching herself, as usual, on the arm of his chair—*“that is, if | can. [ hardly know myself how I feel. You see, when Mr. Dunton isn’t sing- ing I don't like him any better than | do lots of other men, not nearly as well as some, but"— “Lots of other men, did 1 under- stand you to say?” interrupted Carring- ton. “Oh. well, three or four, guardy! What do a half dozen, more or less, matter?” “There's safety in numbers, to be sure.” replied Carrington tritely. “But let's get back to Dunton. You were going to tell me how you feel about him.” Immediately Katherine dropped her frivolous mood and became thoughtful, “When he's talking, guardy, he might just as well be any man, as I told you, but when he sings, well”— “Well?” “l almost feel that my prince has come,” breathed Katherine ecstatically. “H'm! Very romantic,” was Carring- ton's chilling comment. “When will you see him again?” “Not for a week. He was to go up to town on important business,” sighed Katherine, “Well, off to bed with you now, my child,” ordered the stern guardian, “and may some good fairy tell you how to know the real prince when he comes.” A week later ts a night Carrington again sat listening to Dunton’s full magnetic voice as, with seductive ease, it glided through one love sing after another to Katherine's sympathetic ac- companiment, Suddenly there came a pause in the singing—a long pause. Carrington waited for the sound of talking, but the silence was unbroken. Without stopping to weigh the jus- tice of motive or consequences, he jumped up determinedly and made a dramatic entree into the music room. Dunton, startled, straightened him- self stiffly. He had been leaning over Katherine, looking into her eyes with passionate pleading. “This business must stop right here,” commanded Carrington, looking Dun- ton squarely in the eye. “I do not understand you, Mr, €ar- rington,” replied Dunton haughtily. “If you have been eavesdropping you could have hard nothing, for nothing has been said.” “No: that's just the trouble.” retort- ed Carrington hotly. “Nothing has been sald. Miss Searle is my ward, as you know, and it is my duty to pro- tect her fro such sorcerers as you. I happen to kuow that, like the carefully guarded ladies in the fairy tales, she is waiting for her prince to come”— here Carrington smiled down upon Katherine gently and placed his arm about her—“a real prince, Mr. Dun- ton. They wear many disguises, you know, and the lady's protector has to be on the alert.” Dunton turned ashy white. “1 trust that she may find her—real prince,” he answered scornfully and walked angrily froin the room. When the sound of his footsteps had died away Katherine flung both her warm white arms around Carrington’s neck. Her eyes were full of shining tears, but her lips were smiling. “Guardy,” she said softly, “1 have CASTORIA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of CHAS. H.

Pa. found my prince!” “Katherine, you don’t mean”— began Carrington joyfully. “Yes—Jack—I do.” “And so,” said Jack lovingly, after he had kissed her until she protested, “this is the end of the fairy story?” “Oh, no!” laughed Katherine softly. “They lived happily ever after, you know.” Exercise or Die. Every mau and woman must do some muscular work or take equivalent ex- ercise, else they will die long before their natural time. And If one’s voca- tion involves the use of only one set of muscles work must be found for the other muscles, else the individual be- comes disproportionate in form and eventually a prey to disease. A hodcarrier, who is required to use nearly all his muscles, exerting him- self close to the limit of his strength for many hours daily, never gives any thought to artificial exercise, for he has no need of any. But the profes- sional man, the clerk, the typist and the saleswoman-—all these find little real use for the muscles in their daily employment. and they require to take. up some system of physical exercise to maintain normal health, Then there are factory operatives and the toilers in various trades, whose work brings into play certain sets of muscles, while others are out of use. These require exercise adapted to giving employment to the neglected muscles. There is also a class of wealthy people who do no regular work of any kind, who re- quire to follow some strength giving sport in lieu of work. At the opposite extreme (8 a class of athletes who make a business of artificial exercise and build themselves up into moun- tains of muscle.

The Seven Prophets. “The late Duke of Devonshire,” said ! a diplomat at a Washington dinner, “kept a stud and took a calm and ducal | interest in the races. There was a cer- | tain sporting paper that kept a large staff of prophets and always prophesied | the outcome of important races. The duke for some reason put great rell- ance In these prophets and their proph.- ecles. He always read the paper, and | he continually recommended it to his friends. But once at Goodwood, at the day's end, a man came up to the | duke and said: “ ‘What of your paper now? Did you see it this morning? Six prophets prophesied tha. six different horses would win, and here only seven ran, and the winner was the seventh, which no prophet had selected.
