I A RUNAWAY
v PRINCESS !>
\! By Curnn !
T Richard Greer. Icy Vy>
(">>.•:,-Tifftf. 'J7 C. McHur, O
"It Is useless, your highness, to pro- j
test against the things that are." The .
baroness smoothed down her laces :
with plump little bands upon which !
gleamed innumerable rings. Marie
Amalie Constantia Louise "and all
the rest of it," as she said to herself,
Princess of Doldrums, arose from her
low chair with a most unroyal impa
tience. Swish, swish, went the silken
skirts over the polished floor, and the
Baroness von Griefenstein wisely kept
silence.
Marie Amalie stood at the window
and drummed a tattoo upon the pane.
Below, the little fountain tossed its
laughing waters and the cuirassiers'
band poured forth the national air.
Marie Amalie was tired of fountains
thnt played in the 6unlight, tired of the
national hymn, sick to the soul of the
duchy of Doldrums and all it contain
ed—all because a few short weeks be
fore the baroness had taken her young
charge with her train to the hunting
schloss and then spent a glad, never
to be forgotten day.
Somehow—nobody knows, for such
things have a way of managing thein
solvea— the equerries and the princess'
maids drifted two by two down the
forest alleys in the languorous after
noon. The baroness nodded in her
chair, and Marie Amalie found herself
alone.
When Marr Davent rode from the
gasthaus that morning he drew long
breaths of the forest freshness. For
miles beneath the arching lindens of
the duke'* forest he rode at a walk, the
reins hanging loose on the bay's neck,
singing snatches of college glees and
thinking of tho farofT country whither
he would soon be going.
He raised his eyes and looked down
the linden reaches—looked and woke,
so near that the bay reared in sudden
fright. Then Davent slipped from the
saddle and stood, hat In hand, as Marie
Amnile came toward liim through the
green twilight.
Bhe did not attempt to excuse herself
to herself, and to no one else did Uiat
imperious young woman vouchsafe
rhyme or reasou for her deeds. It was
temptation, pure and simple, at a time
when the girl was sore Imblttered
against tho toadltlonal shackles. A
prisoned thing, bound and dumb in her
Jewels and laces, she had known the
shame of the old roue's approval when
be came to view her, lis one would the
points of a prize mare, and pronounced
her fit to be Duchess of Grafsland.
"Fit!" Marie Amalie ground her white
teeth together at the remembrance of
it But she smiled with level brows In
to the brown eyes of Davent as the
handsome bead was bowed before her,
and then trouble began for the Baron
ess Griefenstein.
Two hours later they parted under
tho lindens, he l>elleving her some no
bleman's daughter in the train of tho
young princess; si*; knowing all the
facts about him. Marie Amalie came
up the linden walk, thinking deeply.
An American, it suited iier exuctly.
Him thought of the Jumlay
PTTTJ TTOTT ftt Hnrro; tnought, too, of
the d'xidering old Duke of Grafsland,
who had buried his second wife not a
year before, tho pale, pretty princess
out of the north, who bad been sold to
him, as they wero selling her.
Marie Aniallo went softly up the
marble steps, through the portico and
down tho hall, her footsteps making
no sound In the thick carpcL Hho
drew back the portiere that hung in
straight, heavy folds. There was a
smothered cry from within, a rusllo
of paper, but before the baroness could
close tho drawer a white hand closed
firtnly upon her wrists.
"What are you doing hero among
the private papers of Duke Fritz?"
The baroness sank down, gasping,
speechless, as Marie Amalie towered
over her. Then the girl made a hasty
examination of tho drawer. Tlie key
wu* in the lock. A fragment of wox
that adhered to Uie keyhole told the se
cret of the baroness' uccess to the pa
per* of the young duke who had killed
himself In that very room years before,
when the Baroness Griefenstein had
been a famous court beauty and Marie
Amalie but a child in tho cradle.
Only a bundle of yellowed letters,
written in tho delicate Italian script
affected by tho women of that genera
tion. Marie held them thoughtfully,
then, with sudden Impulse, retled the
faded ribbon about them, locked the
drawer and placed the key in her
bosom. The letters she kept in her
band. With a slow smile around tho
mischievous red mouth, she pa**ed
through the [>ortlero out Into the sun
light Hhe held the key to tho situa
tion.
T!ie ltaroness Griefenstein win u sen
sible woman. Hhe knew herself at tho
mercy of the girl whom heretofore sho
bad ruled relentlessly. Therefore, !
through the weeks that followed she j
temporized, telling herself that It was ;
only for a time. In a month tho girl
would be safely married. There were
various expeditions to tho forest, even
ing walks, when only the baroness
guarded the pretty princess. The
young American still lingered at tho
gnsthnus and rode his bay through tho
duke'* forest.
Meanwhile tho women came and
went. Intent upon the preparations for
the marriage. All around the luxuri
ous room were scattered the silks and
laces, Jewls strewed tho tables. And
in their midst Marie Amalie at tlie
window, her tys upon the forest, herd-
It!** of It all. A horseman '"d» down
the winding road and turned In the
suddle for a long look at tho palace.
Home day he would ride from her for
ever to hi* land of "hearts content
over the sea, leaving her to tlm deso
late pomp of tho Dtwhes* of Graf*
land. Hhe turned to the baroness, and
their eye* met 'I he baroness shivered.
The crisis that she had been dreading j
had come. Marie Amalie leaned down, i
hushing her voice to a whisper, "I will 1
do 11 ri'l you must help me." And the I
bar I.new that she would keep
tluii -viiii!
The Old ilulje, her father, could hard
Jy believe hi - eyes and ear* when Ma
rio Allliille i.olirull, accepted her In

back to the bed. a white baud flashed j
out toward the little case tluit held his | I
drugs. Only an instant, but as the |
door closed behind him Marie Ainalle i |
laughed low to herself. :
The baroness was on the point of re
bellion, when Marie Amalie before her
protesting eyes poured a generous dose
Into the chocolate and bade her swal
low It.
"I am afraid. It will mean lmprls-
ODment, banishment."
"Take It" (the sweet voice was like
Bteol); "take it quietly. The letters {
shall be yours when I am safe." The (
baroness drained the chocolate with g
quivering lips.
Davent waiting with a closed car- {
riage at the postern gate heard the (
click of the sentry's heels as the bar
oness came through the gateway. A j
long black cloak came down to her f
feet, but the tawny gray hair and the (
password were sufficient for the sen
try. (
Without a word they entered the
carriage and were driven through the
night, past the gates, where the bar
oness gave the word, aboard the ex
press, by grace of the promptly pro
duced passports. When the morning
broke they were well away to Havre.
The princess had Issued orders that
on no account were her maids to en
ter her room until summoned. But as
the morning wore away and no sound
came from beyond the closed doors
they braved her anger and entered to
find the princess' bed empty, unused,
and in a chair by the window the Bar
oness Grlefenstein, with an empty
chocolate cup at her elbow, lost In a
drugged stupor.
There was much hurrying to and
fro in the duchy of Doldrums, but of
their Princess Marie Amalie there was
never a trace.
The little Lutheran minister blinked
and hesitated. But In the state of
New York there Is no Alamancha de
Gotha, and, although Marie Amalie
von Ilalsburg awakened an old sound
In his ears of the fatherland, the sus
picion seemed too utterly impossible
to be entertained for a moment. Bo
he went on with the ceremony, and
Marie Amalie Davent passed from the
shadow of the quaint little church out
Into the free sunlight of a land that
knoweth neither princess nor princi
palities.
A Mean Trick.
A lawyer defending a promissory i
note went to lunch, leaving his books t
and citations on the table In the court
room. The opposing counsel 'il I
back Into the room and changed The ]
places of all his bookmarks. In the I
afternoon the lawyer, taking up his !
books, referred the court to his author- |
itles. His lordship noted every volume ]
and page carefully and took the case i
under consideration. In rendering his
opinion he said:
"I was inclined after hearing argu
ment of counsel for defendant to uon
snlt plaintiff, bnt I find, after referring
to the authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case, and I
am led to think that the gentleman has
been willfully trying to Insult the
court He has referred me to an ac
tion of au Irishman who sued the pro
prietor of a monkey for damages for
biting him, to a ease of arson, ono of
burglary, two of petty larceny and
three divorce cases, none of which
bears on an action to recover on a
promissory note. Perhaps the grossest
Insult to thu court Is referring to
'Duckworth versus Boozyman,' an ae
tlon cl.~rnlai( dfc" '.villi breach
of promls'- Tadgment lor pMiimtrr
With costs."
The lawyer never knew what the
matter was and to this dtiy thinks the
judge was out of his mind.—-Pearson's
Weekly.

"When we were poor," remarked tho
prosperous man reflectively, "we looked
forward to llio time when we could
have a summer home.
"Well?"
"Well, when wo got rich enough to
have one, we didn't like going to the
same place every summer because it
*v<.s monotonous, and wu looked for
warrt to tho time when we could liuve
another for variety."
"Wciir
"Well, we got another, and then we
began to long for a winter place, so
that we wouldu't have to be so much
In the big house In the city."
"Well?"
"W«'ll, we've got them all now."
"And are you happy?"
"I suppose so. At least, I suppose
my wife Is. Hhe keeps thwn all shut
up and spends most of her time In Ku

Barbarous kings used to swear and

THE CORN KERNEL.
It* Structure and the Composition j
of Ita Different I'arta.
An lowa experiment station has
made a thorough study of the structure
of the corn kernel and has advocated ,
the possibility of selecting seed corn I
for improved chemical composition by
a simple mechanical examination of j
sections of kernels (which one can eas- j
ily make with a pocketknife). To Its 1
former reports on this topic the follow- j
ing is now added:
There are six distinctly different parts ,
in a kernel of corn, as will be readily ■
seen by reference to the accompanying
cuts:
1. Tip Cap.—This is a small cap cov
ering the tip end of the kernel and

serves as a protection to the end of the
germ. It consists of material some
what resembling the cob. and occasion
ally in shelling corn the tip cap re
mains attached to the cob, leaving the
tip end of the germ uncovered, but
nearly always It remains on the kernel.
2. Hull.—This Is a very thiu outer
covering of the kernel. It consists
largely of carbohydrates, especially
fiber or cellulose, although It also con
tains a small percentage of other con
stituents.
3. Horny, Glutinous Part.—This part
lies Immediately underneath the hull.
It constitutes a second covering of the
kernel, usually much thicker than the
hull. For short it is called lioruy
gluten, although it Is, of course, not
pure gluten. However, It Is the rich
est iu protein of any part of the corn
kernel.
4. Horny, Starchy Tart.—'This part
lies next to the horny gluten, ou the
back and sides of the kernel. For
short It Is called "horny" starch, al
though It is not pure starch, as It con
tains considerable amounts of other
constituents, especially of protein. In
an examination of the kernel with the
unaided eye the horny, glutinous part
and tho horny, starchy part are not
readily distinguished from each other,
the line between them being somewhat
Indefinite and Indistinct. Considered
both together, these two parts consti
tute the horny part of the kernel.
5. White, Starchy Part.—This part
occupies the crown end of the kernel
above the grain, and It also nearly sur
rounds the germ toward tho tip end
of Uie kernel. For convenience this
material Is called vfhlte starch, al
though It Is not pure starch. In some
kernels the horny starch extends near
ly or quite to the germ (near the mid
dle of the kernel) and thus separates,
more or less completely, the while
starch Into two parts, which we call
crown starch and tip starch.
0. Germ.—The germ occupies the cen
ter of the part of the kernel towanrl
RJOII l-tIOTKIN OOftX KRIINII..
tho tip end and usually extends about
one half or two-thirds of the length
of the kernel. Within the Isidy of the
germ are the embryo stem, pointing
upwsrd toward the crown end and
the embryo root, pointing downward
toward the Up of the kernel, Im»IIi of
which are, of course, parts of the germ.
These embryo parts within the germ
may be easily seen by any one who
will carefully shave off the front side
of the germ from a kernel of corn.
A Komi of ll ok Cholera.
"A form of hog cholera not caused by
the hog cholera bacillus" and "appar
ontly Identical In ail particulars with
the acute type of hog Cholera" Is being
Investigated by the United States bu

ed that "possibly In all outbreaks of
acute hog cholera there Is some other
agent Is'sldes the hog cholera bacillus
at work."
THE FARMER OF TODAY.
The "Ken fashioned" Haa ns f.'oas
pariMl Willi tlie "Old Timer."
We have all heard of, and many of
us have been personally acquainted
with, the "old fashioned fanner," who
believed that the only qualification for
Ills business thiil a farmer needed wss
, to have been Ihe son of an old fash
ioned farmer and born on a farm. As
for "issik laruin," of course teachers
ami doctors and lawyers had to have
It. I'.ut farmers didn't need anything
of the sort, except to read and write,
for lie must consult the almimac for
the pinnies of the moon and (o see If
Tho old fashioned farmer can bo
found In places even In this enlighten

teristics and opinions could not be
changifl by any array of object les
wins, lint the old fashioned farmers
are rapidly disappearing. Sisni (hey
will all be dead of old age or Inaultlou,
and In the places where they were we
will llnd the stirring, energetic, new

she is much astonished to see It roll out

Late cabbage laid in shallow trench

placed too close together In the trench.
Dig a trench about eight or ten inches
deep and two aud a half to three
feet wide, putting some crosspleces of
wood in the bottom of the trench for
some "odd und end" boards to rest
upon, making a roufth kind of plat
form, leaving a space of two or three
inches beneath. A little straw is spread
over the boards, and the cabbages are
packed In head down lu two layers, the
upper layer being placed between the
angles formed by the cuhliagos of the
lower one. A ridge or coping Is placed
over to keep them dry and attention
Kid to them so that they do not get

Paper Wrappers For Pratt.
The influence of paper wrappers on
the keeping qualities of apples in any
kind of storage is well known by all
who have kept fruit both with and
without wrappers. Expert in ants do not
indicate that any special wrapper if
superior to another, but the use of
some soft paper for the Inner wrapper

DISCREET INDIBCRETION. '
How tho Insubordination ot a Diplo
mat Averted Hostilities.
An example that can never be ovsr
looked when the right of an ambassa
dor to exercise bis own discretion Is la
question Is that which occurred in tha
career of I/jrd Lyons when he was our
nmbassador to the United States, lie
was a jiersoua grata there. "All I can
say, Ixird Lyons, Is, 'Go thou and do
likewise,'" was Abraham Lincoln's
genial method of receiving tho British
amtNissador's announcement of ths
Prince of Wales' marriage, Lyon*
did not take tho advice, but he remain
ed a very effective ambassador In
spite of his bachelorhood. When tha
grave difficulty over the Mason and
Slldcll case arose Lord Lyons wss in
structed from home to present au ulti
matum, afford twelve hours for its ac
ceptance, and, the latter not being
forthcoming, he wss to break off rela
tions and leave ths country. The
i twelfth hour expired. Slldell and Ma
l son were not surrendered and thers tfs
ma I ned uppsretitly only the dire pros
pect of war. "Give me snother twelve
t hours," said Seward, the secretary of
• state. It entire contradiction
i of official orders, but, nevertheless, "I
will," said Lyons. From « o'clock that
night until rt the next morning Howard
bstiled with the recalcitrants. Then
Lyons received an Intimation that tba
Confederal!) envoys would Ih* given up.
' So by the Insubordination of an am
