THE PRINCE'S RETURN.
A CHKI'-TMAsl SkETCIt.
A ft-w small Jead leaves came rustling
down Happy Court ; the wind had blown
tLeai o!T the iop'.ar tree in the corner
!y the pump.
i; jbhie counted them, for he stood at
the window of the shabbiest house in
the court with his nose flattened against
the window pane.
"One, two, three, four, five.'" he said,
counting thedad leaves.
I'reseritlv lie put bis hand in his pock
et, aa l began jingling the pennies there.
"one, to, three, four," he said, oh,
dear, bat there ought to be five. For a
In-wiper costs live, and the old lady
wcu't take any less '."
The boose opposite had a tall green
bar-h showing at the window, and the
three liitie Smiths were danrinj around
it, n.H king faces, and beckoning across to
r.obbie,
-No, I won't," said B ibbie, as though
they could hear hi in. "I ain't going to
come over. I'm going to stay bene till
r-istcr Mary comes."
Jut then a tall girl turned the corner
of the street and came merrily op the
cjurt. She bad hair as yellow as Bob
bie's, and the same eyes of startled
brown. IJ.ibbie rushed down the rickety
stairs and ojened the door for her.
I'.d you seethe butcher man, round
tic corner, and the little pis with the
holly in hVir tnmiths? And the candy
store with pink and whit Krit
Krionles, ant trie grocery "
"Yes yes, B-ibbie." she s-id, patting
b;s -a,;"r head ; "now let me sit down a
while and rest myself, and then I will
tell you of ail the tine sights I've seen
to day."
So Bobbie pulled out the big chair by
the window, and ran to bang up her hat
and coat. .Staying in the lonesome house
alt day long by himself, had made him
as tidy and thoughtful as a girl.
Then Mary sat down in the chair with
l'.jbbie at her feet, and told him of all
the wonderful things in the op-town
shop windows.
Bobbie's eyes grew like stars ; he sigh
ed softly to himself, and in bis excite
ment pulled out the pennies from his
pocket, and began counting them over
once more.
It was a poor little room ; the carpet
was so patched that it looked like a coat
of many colors, and the curtains w ere
threadbare. The paper on the wall that
had once been full of jay-colored boughs
and blossoius, now showed only a few
sickly leaves sprawling against a dingy
white.
But the rosy little fire flickered and
fluttered, and the eun failing in a patch
upon the floor brought the poplar shad
ows with it; and Bobbie's yellow hair
and Mary's together, made warmth and
colvr for w hat would else have been a
dull picture.
So Mary came to the end of the sights
she had seen, and Bobbie asked :
'Is that all ? It's most like the Trince,
ain't it, Mary T'
"A little," said Mary, smiling to her
self, for she knew wh8t as coming next.
"Once there was a Prince," began Bob
bie ; "was it a very long time ago, Mary T
He always asked this question here,
and Mary always gave him the same an
swer, and sighed :
"A long time ago, Bobbie."
"And he was tall and handsome and
your.g, and he dearly loved the Trin
ces "
"And he was going to marry her," said
Mary, "and give her everything she
wanted, and then "
"And then he went away," interrupt
ed l'. jbbie, "and never came back any
more."
-Though as long as she lived, the Frin
cess thought he would, and waited for
him," said Mary.
Bobbie a! ways looked solemn when they
csme to this part of the story. In some
inexplicable way he thought he could
remember the Princess, and that he had
known her. And had not her eyes been
brown like Mary's?"
"1 leel sorry for the Princess he said.
Then Mary kissed hitn?
He juigled his pennies once more.
"Do yoa think pen-wipers are nice
Ma-7 7"
"Very nice," said his sisler; "and those
lit le red and black ones around the cor
ner are ja-t beautiful."
"Aren't they?' cried the delighted
Bobl ie. "To little black blocks and
one little red one. Oil, Mary, but they
re five cents, and I have only got four."
She held out the covtrteJ pennv.
"I think Katie Smith might like one
for a Caristuias gift."
"0.1, no, no. no!" slion'o.! r-,kk;
bit!
JUUH ,
it is not fur Katie Smith ; it is
Tfcen he pat both hands over his fool
ish little mouth and chuckled noftlr.
"You'd better go away, or you might
tell me secrei," laugheJ Mary.
And libhi, chuckling harder than
ver, ran out into the street.
The l.f.ie old lady who kept the little
old fchop where he had spied the pen
wipers, was very busy that afternoon.
The tiny p'.a,-e wa foil of old-fhioned
people who were buying her scarlet niit
t ns, or Ler dainty ta-!ed hoods and
jackets, or, even the glus-eyed canton
flannel elephants that stood iu her win
dows and e-ared tut at the naught?
world.
Bobbie slipped ;bto
corner, a war
from the crowd of bustling peopj,,
looked on.
Presently the door bell tinkled, anj
another customer came in. He was a
tall man with a very browo face, and he
wore a very shaggy coat that fell down
o his heels. He stood there at the door
and scanned the faces of the bnyers, one
.y one. Then he caught sight of Ib
fcie's eyes, and emilrd down at him.
Tm looking for oaie4jy," Le said,
'but I can't nd her after all," Sow the
guile died out of hia face and a sad look
came instead.
A queer idea was in Bobbie's head.
He looked op at the ehagjy maa and
sai i, wistfully :
"Are yoa the princ7 Are yoa look
ing for the princess ? Did yoa go away,
and never come sack any more, till
now?"
"Who told yoa H that?" asked the
a'lMitv "nan
M . ' B -;; ''T' r
Ouoe mere pr uo? au i lie loved the
princess ; but he went away and never
came back any more."
"Ttiit a i I "rTt id the sha.'gy
mo
4 It's gol enough for Happy CVurt,"
said Bobbie; and oh, bat that was a wise
thing for him to say
- "Ther's i.oly Mary and me," he be
gin, nt ju-t tht-u the old lad) called..
"And what can I do I. you, air?" and
be went forward to buy Lis little pen
wiper. He locked very important as he trotted
out into the street, with his precious
present tied op carefully in pink blot
ting paper. He opened a corner of the
tiny package, and let the man w ho bad
followed him t ke a teepat it.
"It's for my sister. Ain't it beautiful
for only five cents?"
"Very," said the man gravely. "Will
she use it often does she write a gTeat
deal!"
"Well, no," said Bobbie, looking a
shadow less happy, "but," and his face
lit op again "she used to, w hen we
didn't live In Happy Court; letter and
letters, and they went out to a big ship
in the water way off over the water."
Now they had reached the corner of
Happy Court
"Good-bye," said Bobbie blithely But
the shaggy man caught him fast by the
arm. I
"Little boy," he said "haven't I seen
yoa somewhere before? Now tell me
true."
"So, you haven't," said Bobbie prompt
ly ; "and I never saw yon either."
'Well," said the shaggy man, "I guess
I am a fool. Merry Christmas, laddie!
Down the Court through the windy
yellow light and the falling dead leaves,
ran Bobbie as fast as he could. But the
man followed him. He followed him op
the rickety stairs and to the very door of
the shabby llttie room. .
' Ob, Mary." cried Bobbie, "it t just
beautiful!"
Mary 'a bead jame out of the darkness
by the cupboard door.
"Well, Bobbie," she began bnt there
she stopped and stood still as a stone.
"And the prince came back gain,"
said the shaggy man from the doorway.
Then something wonderful happened.
Bobbie saw it with hisowr two beauti
ful eyes. The shaggy man -o Mary ip
his arms, and she put her bead down on
his shoulder and cried as Bobbie ha 1
never heard her cry before. And the
ehatzgy man kisrd her, and kept on
kissing her, and be 'old the Strang' e.
story to Bobbie and her.
It was a:l about a ship, and a storm
and an island all alone in the sea. It
was about letters unanswered, and a long
spell of sickness and weary months of
seeking. It was all about the prince
who came back once more to the beauti
ful, faithful princess. "So they married
and were happv ever after." 6. Louis
Believed in Fair Play.
"I was new in the business and as
ambitious as C-ar. I would tackle
anything, and, tike most lawyers in
the early stages, I bad do trouble in
convincing mvself that my client was
right and the other fellow a rascal. An
old granger in the city in which I first
swung my shingle to the breeze was
always in trouble with his neighbors, and
was a rich mark for lawyers. I Ie gathered
in some cattle that had broken tinto the
highway from the field of a farmer near
bylxtabled them, and refused to give them
op unless paid au exorbitant price for
damages that were never committed. A
writ of replevin was issued. I took the
case for thelowner of the cattle, and early
one morning drove out to the office of an
old rierman If'juire, or justice of the peace.
His temple of justice was an old rattletrap
of a building w ith no ceiling bat stringers
across where the clapboards terminated
and the peaked roof ben. The occup
ants of these stringers kept all below busily
dodging tobacco juice. The jury was
made up of a lot of old sail-tillers whose
faces.were as sphynx-like as that .f a
professional gambler. I lis honor occupied
a very uncertain chair that had earned
an honorable retirement, and kept his
owl-like w isdom in activity by constantly
whittling on a hardwood broomstick.
Pitted against me were two old lawyers
and it was their pleasure to constantly
utilize my youthful ness in im paring my
standing with the jury. I was full of
fight, but what almost drove me from the
shanty was the fact that the squire ruled
dead against me every time. I argued,
pleaded, read authorities, but the w hit
tling representative of the blind goddess
never turned a hair. II woald simply
say : 'Pon't get excited, young man. I
vos der shndge. Yost go ahead mid der
case. S host ice is shastice, und don't yoa
forged t it
The two old attorneys were not slow to
citch on, and they tok the wildest
iberities, disregarding everything and
and chuckling at every objection I made.
I was on the verge of insanity, and my
client looked like a thunder cloud ram
pact Dinner time came and the squire
had a spread for jurors, lawyers, and liti
gants. My opponents were in high feath
er, w hile my food nearly choked me.
"After eating I handed the squire a
cizar, and we walk-d out into the orchard
where I opbraided him for the course he
had pursued.
" Young man,' he aald, rot U der
reason mit yoa ? I know vot vos law and
yustioe, and equity. Gif efery man der
same chance. In der forenoon I let dose
two old lawyers have der vhay. Now
it vas your darn. Gj in. I pelieve in
fair blay I don't gare how much dose
fellers object, it's your dura.'
"Did I go in? I claimed everything and
conceded nothing. I rode roughshod
over the rules of testimony and the old
lawyer. I bad them wild, pawing the
air and frothing at the mouth. The
squire was deaf to t heir appeals and blind
to their agony. 'I gif you half a day
apiece,' w as his sole justification. I w on
in a walk. The other side wanted to
appeal, but their client was so mad that
two old-timers should be si ignominioosly
beaten by a young lawyer that he settled
then and there, hired me by tie year
and gave me my first good start." hrtrJt

At a regular reesion of Sipeavilla Caile
N'o.S7S, K. G. bold December 3, 1S01,
'be followicf; resolutions, relative to tbe
ieath of Mrs. Meliasa, wife of brotber Ja
cob J. Pile, were unaninoaaly adopted
Whereas, An ali-wiee Havtnly Fa
ttier has called from the borne of Broth
er Pile his beloved and fritbful wife,
thus for tbe first time casting a glootu
tver our Castle, therefore,
Regolr, That in tbe death of Mrs. Pile

ifraot'retf, That a copy of these rt-eoio-tioDS
be sent to the bereaved family, that
they be recorded in the minutes of the
Cattle, and published in tbe county
papers. Wm. P. Sipe,
E R. Sbafck,

Committee.
H Foiled Justice.
PrrsBi aoH, Pa., Lsec It. A clever and very
simple method to escape justice was adopted
here to day by Charles Manley, charged with
robbing eighteen houses in thia city. While
tbe lawyers were dickering, Manley boldly
walked out of the court-room and has not
been seen since.
La Grippe Again.
Ihirinp the epidemic of La Grippe last
season Dr. King' New Pi.tcotrery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colda, proved
to be the best remedy. Reports from the
many who used it confirm tbe statement.
They were not only quickly relieved, but
the disease left no bad after result. We
wk you to (five this remedy a trial and we
guarantee that you will be satisfied with
results, or tbe purchase price will be re
funded. It ham no eqnal in La Grippe, or
any Throat, Chest or Lung Trouble. Trial
bottles free at J. N. Snyder's Drug Store.
Large bottles, 50c and f 1 00.
Drove a Nail Into a Mula'a Head.
Yoac, Dec- 12 A heretofore unheard of
manifestation of revenge is reported from
New Salem. Some enemy of John Zerlant,
living near that place, has driven a twenty
penny nail into tbe head of one of Zerlant's
team of mules, midway between the eye and
the ear.
Does Protection Protect?
Certainly, in one instance, it does.
IloodVSarsaparillais the gret protection
against tbe dangers of impure blood, and
it will cure or prevent all disea s of this
vixf. It has well won its name of the
best blood purifier by its many remark
able cures.
Tbe hiebet praise has been won by
Hood's Pills for tbeir es.y yet efficient
action, bold by all druggists. Price 2j
cents per box.
May Co to the Halter.
Joh.istowx, Dec 13 At 6 o'clock last
evening Richard Cobaugh finished hauling a
load ol household goods for George Fleck
was was fitting np a new house, where he
intended to take his bride after marriage
next week.
There was a difference of half a dollar in
tbe price which he wanted for tbe job. A
few angry words passed between tbem, when
Fleck drew a revolver aod shot Cobangh in
tbe abdomen, inflicting a fatal injury.
I have been troubled with catarrh for
ten years and have tried a number of
remedies, but found no relief until I
purchased a bottle of Ely's Cream Balm.
I consider it the most reliable pieparation
for catarrh and cold in tbe bead. Geo.
E. Crandall, P. M. Quonochawntaug,
R. I.
Struck Dumb Instantly.
Oh err a. Pa , Dec. 10 It transpires that
Frederick C. Leonart of Faulk land, Del ,
was stricken dumb in an instant with bran
disease at tbe railroad station here on Tues
day, and was arrested by mistake as s
drunkard He was taken to tbe lockup, and
there did without a doctor. Since an au
topsy revealed no evidence of drink, tbe
body was sent right off to relatives at Faulk
land Now word comes that Leonart was
never known to drink.
Confidence!
Yes, public confidence, that's the key
note of our successful advertising. Tbe
day for fooling tbe public is pas', and we
wouldn't do it if we could. Consumers
are never "fooled" wbea they buy Klein's
celebrated "Silver Age" or Duquesne
Ryes." These famous brands of absolutely
pure w hisky are now known and sold
everywhere from tbe Atlantic to tbe
Pacitic slope. Every day swells tbe long
list of customers. Why? Because the
wbikkiea named stand solely on their
merits. Leading physicians all over the
land indorse and prescribe them pretty
conclusive evidence that the goods are
just as represented tbe purest and best
obtainable. A poor whisky is never
cheap, but always injurious. You take
no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or
' Du.juesue," which sell respectively at
$1.50 and $1.25 per full quart. Packages
expressed anywhere. Max Kleis, No.
How Helen saw Santa Glaus.
In tbe dining-room was a register which
opened and shut like a door, and when
it was open it made the best kind of a
place for Santa Claus to come through.
Right betide it Helen's small stocking
was bung on Cbrismas Eve, and, for
fear it might not bold all Santa would
brinir, it was put over a chair.
When the long night was at last end
ed, Helen's delight was unbounded, and
as she found the presents, she woold g
to the register and say: "Tank, tank,
Santa Claus!"
A few days afterward a plummer was
called in to repair the pipe leading to
this same regi-ter, and just as be was
drawing himself out of tbe opening
Helen co ne into the room.
The man was large and gaod natured,
with a long gray beard. He smiled at
sight of tbe litle two-year-old, who look
ed at him douMfuliy for a moment,
with her bands clasped behind her. His
smile re-a'sured her, and. pun op to
him sh, aaid: "Is va dot sny dolt
bab;-s in your po'ei ?"
With a kind reply tbe man 'o k his
departure, and to this day little Helen
is-urethat she has seen and talked
with old Santa Claus bimwslf otif.'s
I have leen troubled with chronic
catarrh for years. Elv'a Cream Balm is
the only remedy among the many that j
i nave usa that affords me relief. E.
W. WiHard, Druprist, Jolliett, III.
