Richard Rurgdorf. a young German art
ist, whose nickname is "1'rinee Chardo,"
and his friend, Florio, a lllt-mry student,
in the course of their Wanderjuhr"
through Germany, have reached the end
ol' their resources, and lind themselves,
weary, footsore and hungry, by the way
side near a German town, itiihurd. in
whose artistic ability Florio has (trtvit
faith. Finks down and ean go no further.
Florio bestirs himself lo secure food anil
a bed fur his friend. Alter one or two
reverses, he knocks at a promising ltmking
door. A kindly old Herman woman re
ceives him, gives hlin food for himself an 1
Richard, and advises him to put on a bold
lace. He noes through the vineyards,
makes friends with an old workman, to
whom he jestingly talks about his mas
ter, "Prince fnurilo." The old man takes
the remark seriously, and Florio is In
spired with the idea of using his sup
posed master's name as a recommendation.
In tlu manner of "I'liss-ln-Boots.'' The
plan is smvessf til, and 1'Torio obtains
work and secures temporary lodgings for
himself and his friend, who Is Ignorant of
tlie subterfuge. I'Turlo also poses as a
famous concert singer In disguise. He
gives a trial before a manager, repeating u
comical 1'rog song of his boyhood days,
and Is nam d at a good salary. He per
suades a picture dealer that Itle'iard Is
Prince I'hunlo. a wealthy amateur in dl.--siilne,
and obtains painting material., for
his friend.

Armed Willi ,tlio glittering lib on
his cap. together with trusty Johannes
Mey.let's recommendation, Florin eu
Saised tin; looms Without Ultlkully.
"You are not plnyintr. arc you, old
fellow'.'" liithurd askod suddenly one
night as Florin came in. "You cannot
be."
PlnyltiK?" Florin. tirVned very red.
"How .' Whore? What in the deuc-o
do you nipanV"
"Why i-anls, of course."
"(ill, cards. Well, th;it is nn Idea.
Cards? Heaven forbid." With a
great lnug.li. "I should say not. Don't
bother, little one." Altfr awhile, with
beautiful candor: "It Is merely Home
work I am doing for a man who cannot
give It to me at any other lime. He
pavs me well, so it's) worth while."
t'lumlo, never Imiuisitive, mill weak
and Breutly preoceuiieil, troubbd his
head no more about his friend's noc
turnal ensngemeiitw, and somehow grot
the fixed impression that It was of ti
literary nature writing- tit dictation,
revision or bt.tiiethilir of the sort.
"He seems to be a rabid smoker of
vile tobacco," the invalid once mur
mured, ilrowsll:-, from Ills pillow, ami

shoes.
Again later, In the studio one day,
the painter. gluiiciiiK at a newspaper,
exclaimed, with a certain resentment:
"Why. here's a eluin protending to
Pine a fmsc song. Willy Wlnkel Is his
sweet little toiliima name. Tremen

he can hold a candle to you. Let's so

"I DON' T BELIEVE HE CAN' IIOT.n A CANDLE TO YOU.
AND 11 KA H HI.M."
LET'S GO
T'nder the pledge, of secrecy he con
fided Prince Churdo's name, even the
long Latin one, to the .gardener, and
urged tht necessity of leaving the
lilgh-biini Reiitlemnn entirely to his
own devices, for, although of winning
mid unliable character, he was singu
larly eccentric, anil, partleuftit ly to
preserve Ills incognito, would hesitate
at nothing.
The gardener sagely replied that sov
ereigns nml such had mostly nowa
days a screw loose In the upper story.
All hi; and his old woman cared about
was steady pay anil n uuiet tenant on
the premises, for a carousing painter,
Fuch they'd last hud, they could not
abide.
Florio found Richard doubled up In
a state of concentrated gloom.
"Here, little one! Now show the stuff
you're made of."
Chimin sprang up glorified.
"I don't ask you where you got it.
1 tlon't much care If you stole it. Look!
Just look lit them," thrusting under
his friend's nose some maniacal black
streaks which to the artist meant two
bare-logged urchins bathed in spring
sunshine ami tishin;: In a brook.
"Aren't they beauties!" Ke smiled
ecstatically. "I'm fairly m-liinn to get
lit them. If you coubl have seen the
light this; morning. They are coming
tomorrow'. 'Ill be there waiting on the
opposite bank. And you've got me all
these things'.' oh. Florin, I was just
ready to curse Ood and die. 1 cannot
live unless 1 paint."
"Live and paint, Chardo! Taint v.ime
Sketchy little things and I swear I'll
pell them for you, every one. Then
you can paint the great one. Now you
anil 1 are going to have a good hot
Christian supper and some beer. Hear
the chink-chink! 1 earned it."
"Hut howV"
"it's all right, I tell you. Just give
me your head for a little while. Some
day I'll tell you some things that will
make your toes curl. You slick to your
lust. If ut how long do you want to
paint the beggars? of course you can't
tell how long they'll come. Will a
week do? Well, we'll stay here a week.
Then we will honorably pay our bill
and move on to better things. Stopping
heavenwards, you know. Don't look
incredulous. You pain me, my son. It
is almost as If you were aspersing my
commercial Integrity."
Willy Wlnkel was a "screaming suc
cess." The public said the best thing
about him was that he never wus at a
loss for a new gag. In his speckled
green mummery he warbled and
croaked nnd Hopped several months
with unabated vigor, before he felt
that he had amassed sulllcient ill-gotten
gains to permit him to retire from
those giltled halls and tread the hum
ble and less remunerative path of lit
erature. Hut beyond question the hull
frog gallantly filled the breach. He
enabled Florin to meet decently and in
order the manifold Indebtedness he
had assumed with such temerity, to
nourish Prince Chardo with blood-producing
vlunds, to clothe him In suitable
raiment, to lavish upon angel-granny
kerchiefs, sugar loaves, snuff and caps
against the time when he could more
substantially respond to her gracious
hospitality. One dav. Indeed, moved
doubtless by pangs of' conscience, he
hunted in) his surly vintner and pre
sented him with a portly pipe und some
tobacco, yet could not resist the temp
tation -to wear, even upon his quasi
penitential pilgrimage, the coronet of
princely ifervice. It seemed to com
plete the episode, he assured himself.
One must ulways dot one's l's In short,
1 the frog paid their bills, gratilled all
their simple tastes, and fairly started
them on the road to prosperity, but,
ah, how Florin loathed htm.
Chardo looked anxiously at his friend
when regularly about yawning time he
began to mumble that he'd got to meet
a man, absent himself about an hour or
two, and reappear, somewhat Hushed,
lung after midnight.

nnd replied, with ills head out of the
window:
"We cannot afford luxuries, just yet,
can we. littlt one? Hesides, the man is
probably a blank. Idiot."
"No doubt." acquiesced his Serene
Highness,
Sometimes all things work together

amit'inic contributions. lie wns of a
robust and t-anguine temperament, nntl
his young colleague lloundered in pes

overtaken Florin, but in this instance
was unpunciuul. The classic dame

WAY.
rles seemed on the point of being found
out, some fresh burst of inspired im
pudence would rescue him. His pro
geny of fibs prospered amazingly well,
never Jostling one another rudely and
putting their progenitor to shame.
His most precarious task was to
manage the prince, who, as his health
Improved, nnd his spirits rose, would
persist In slapping Florio on the back
at Inopportune moments, throwing an
affectionate arm across) his shoulders,
as the friends strolled toward evening
in the garden, even condescending to
call him "old hoy" or- "Dumpling" a
nursery name resulting from certain
quondam contours which the years had
kindly obliterated when Florio would
shoot a-sneaklmr glance at the worthy
old couple in their cottage porch, as
much as to sav: "It's only his little
eccentric way!" and they would nod
astutely. x
Hut Florio enjoyed exquisite mo
ments of compensation. He liked to
stand at an open window, the cigarette
box in his hand, and Inquire in the
must solicitous and devoted manner
conceivable:
"Does your Highness deign to
smoke?"
His Highness, working away as usual
at a picture, would rarely turn his
head, but merely say, In his pleasant,
low voice:
"What an Incorrigible ass you
are!" "Quite prince like," the gard
ener told his- wife.
PART VI.
Chardo,' not lielnj an Infant, a con
vict or a maniac, could hardly be
Incited up for safe keeping. Like other
young men, he had the Inveterate habit
of going where lie pleased. Whenever
Florio found the rooms deserted he
would pace them restlessly until he
saw Itiebaid striding In with still un
clouded brow. He not unnaturally
strayed inlo picture exhibitions, chat
ted with palmers, now and again, to
Florio's grlr.i despair, went of an even
ing to drink a glass ,t beer in a cheer
ful place frequented by the fraternity.
If a stray artist chanced to walk into
the studio he always found that other
fellow unsocial, if not surly. Police
men and po.stnicn. In the innocent dis
charge of their duties, occasioned Florio
many not insignificant flights,
in every reasonable and unreasonable.
way ditl he sock to avert the ever im
pending disastrous carambolage of
liurgdorf und Prince Chardo, ut least
until the f irmer young gentleman had
built ut) a reputation upon legitimate
foundations. Jiuf, the conoid rc.tor
fared better than his deserts, and es
caped with his fears and forebodings.
Luckily for him, Kichard, for the most
part, desired nothing better than to
liluin mankind and paint. lleserved,
sensitive, moody, inspired by lurga
holies, and dialing at the prolonged de
lay in tlvdr fruit ion, prom) of Florio's
success, yet longing to bear his own
shares of their burdens, he worked un
ceasingly, bided his lime, lived the life
of a hermit, aril cared for no society
but Inat of l.is friend.
Yet If the painter so much as stopped
to look at sointthli.g in Johanncz Mez
ler's window, Florio shivered with ap
prehension, and would resort to the
meanest Inventions, nnd the longest
way around to uvoid that street.
"I saw Prince Chardo yesterday."
Mtzlcr announced one morning with
some complacency. "1 had a good stare
at dim."
"Oh, did you?"
"Handsome fellow, Isn't he? No end
aristocratic. So pale and a bit haughty.
Wouldn't do for you and me, eh? but
just suits him. ll'j stood a long time at
my window. Ho almost came in. Then
he changed his mind."
"Oh, did he?"
"I was just about to run and open
the door for hlm when he went on."
lteeoverin;r from his alarm Florio re
plied, with singular vehemence:
"It is lucky tor you that you did not.
Mczler. He dues nut like that sort of
thing at nil. Never open doors for hlin,
novel ! The prince likes to open his
own doors. Never take any notice of
him. If he should come in here be as
Indifferent as you can. Never on any
account say Your Highness. If you
should make any such slip, he would
never enter your place ugain or let me.
I told you he was eccentric. He In
sists upon the strictest incognito. Do
you ever hop me in livery?"
"Oh, I understand all that. I wasn't
born yesterday. I'll be very careful,
you may be sure. I must sav I like his
appearance, nntl I believe you've pot an
awfully good berth. He seems rather
fond of you. do you know? I notle.d
his smiling and gracious manner as
you were walking by last week. After
all. it's no wonder."
"Do you think so?" Florio returned,
modestly. "You see we are about the
same age antl grew up together as It
were. That is to say, I was permitted
to play with His Highness when we
wore boys."
"Oh, anybody can see with half an
eye tha you have enjoyed unusual ad
vantages," retorted Mczler, encourag
ingly; "I noticed that the tiny we met."

stretch the 'MJoys Fishing" fearing

Mczler might have some occult method
of recognizing his own wares Florio
brought it down, antl saitl amiably:
"I thought perhaps you might like to
see this. It Is one of Richard Llurs
dorf's sketches. The prince has several
at his rooms just now."
"Oh, that Is a good thing, I like that.
I wish I could exhibit it in my win
dow." "Well, I don't know. I must ask the
prince, of course. I suppose I can leave
it an hour or so."
Alezler met him unnn his return
with the somewhat embarrassed an
nouncement that a rich customtr had
taken a fancy to the little painting
particularly when Informed it wns by
u young painter of note, a protege of
His Highness, Prince Chardo.
"J hardly know what to say. I sug
gested a pretty big price. Just as a
damper, you know. She Instantly de
clared she'd pay It. She's a person
I don't like to disappoint. I explained
It was not put into my hands to sell,
nnd the decision rested entirely with
Prince Chardo, but that only made her
wiltl."
"Well," said Florio, dispassionately,
"I suppose all I can do is lo go anil ask
him."
Off he went at a great pace two miles
straight up a hill and two miles down
again, and exercised heroic self-control
not to break in a war dunce In the pub
lic thoroughfares, for beyond all things
he longed that Chardo, after his strug
gles, his long Illness, helplessness, en
forced restraint and champing of the
bit, should have the joy of selling a
picture and feelintr his own strength.
"His Highness has not the least ob
jection," Florio In due time an
nounced, blandly. "He might perhaps
have kept the sketch himself, but that
is no matter. No price is intimated,
and the artist is not at the moment ac
cessible. Of course. It's a slight thing.
Still, It's a liurgdorf. The prince thinks,
under the circumstances, you ought to
set rather a fancy value on It, with
a handsome commission for yourself,
of course." 1
"Hurrah! Won't t! And if by hook
or crook you can gt ma another little
liurgriorf, you'll be doing n.e Ihe great
est possible service, for I know a wom
an who will neither eat nor sleep until
she has one of a size larcer than the
Hoys Fishing.'"
"Count upon me. Meiler." ,
The twain concocted a prise which
the lady proudly paid in solid coin of
the 1 calm. Two more charming little
Hurgtlorfs the delighted Mesler sold at
romantic rates. Discreet, but strongly
commendatory paragraphs about the
young artist now began to appear sim
ultaneously in many papers, and were
largely copied by exchanges. Mesler
kindly showed them to Florio, but those
journals never lay about the studio.
From the day the "Uoys Fishing" was
sold. Chardo seemed to take a new lease
of life. His a ley became 4uoy ant, his

vastly content with their lot and each
other, and listened to the throb of the
ship' bearing them onward toward their
brave hopes.
At length Florio, half laughing, yet
not quite at ease, remarked:
"Your Highness need not henceforth
be anxiouB about me. It's not a chronic
complaint, you understand. I really
don't think the dlsAe has struck In
deep. Apparently it has not yet seized
my vitals. It was only an acute attack

bearing erect, his eye calm, his laugh
Jolly and his lurge picture grew apace.
Florio, covertly watching the trans
formation, felt warm antl stout of heart,
ami lepented naught of his sins. Hut
us he was slaving much in those days
with his writing and his nauseating
night occupation, besides piloting his
libs and Chardo wus now fortuitously
Ilium lied, it happened that the star
known as Willy Wlnkel disappeared
suddcmly from the firmament, to the
chagrin of the public, still more of the
directory, who declared with pectus he
would engage him again "nt any time
antl on his own terms, for the Froa or
any new creation."
Wlily Wlnkel thanked him and bade
hltn farewell amlc.ibly as one who may

Soon he was heard In the studio Jov

Hardly a score of months from the
day the beggars were coming to town,
they sat one evening on the deck of a
Messngerie steamer bound for the Far
east, their way and work clearly ap
pointed under sufficiently liberal con
ditions. Chardo's lirst real picture hatl

occasionally confound the prudent,

together too bumptious.
it was dark and quiet Florio opened
his heart, and made clean confession.
When he had Mulshed, Chardo was
silent.
"1 thousht It might amuse you.
Somehow it doesn't sound very funny,
tine's Jokes so often fall upon the but
tered side."
He was right. It did not sound fun
ny. Still Chardo did- not speak.
At length Florifl said, with curious
shyness:
"I hope you don't mind too much,
Chardo. Of course It was awfully low
down. Hut so weie we. And, ch, didn't
the lies boom!"
Hut Chardo, viewing the long per
spective, saw neither fun nor libs.
Something of which Florio wns quite
unconscious streamed warm and ra
diant upon the vista and revealed noth
ing petty or base.
The iiainter reached over and wrung
his friend's hand abruptly, got up,
walked off and stood awhile alone, re
turned still unrhetorlcal -until finally
he muttered, much moved:
"It must have been a terribly hard
pull- anil I a thankless lump!"
"StulY!"
"Hut 1f course It's like you, Dump

Everyone knows
the biblical story
of the passovcr.
The angel of death
turned aside only
at the doors of the
chosen people.
The first-born of
all others were
slain. There is a
chosen people to
day, at whose
doors the angel of
death turns aside and whose first-born es
cape unscathed while the children of others
perish. The chosen people are the healthy
people. Nine-tenths of the deaths among
children are due to the ill-health of the
mothers during the period preceding moth
erhood. Every woman owes it to hersel f. her
husband and her childreu to keep herself
healthy in a womanly way. She should
thoroughly unrstand her own physical
make-up. She should realize the import,
tance of keeping the organs of womanhood
healthy and vigorous. She can only do this
by taking proper care of herself and using
the proper remedy for weakness or disease
of those organs.
The best remedy forweakness or disease of
the organs peculiar to women is Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It is truly wonderful
in its effects on the female organism. It
allays inflammation, soothes pain and re
stores health and vigor. Get it at the drug
gist's and take no substitute. Your health
and your children's health depend upon it.
' Since I wrote von we have had a hnby girl born

stouter, healthier child was never born. Our
chil't will lie one year of age the Mil Inst, and .lie

Every woman In America should own a
cony of Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser. In its 1,008 pages she will find plain
talks about all sorts of ailments. These talks
are made plainer by copious illustrations.
