They persuaded and scolded bet in ti,:n; they talked of his wealth, bis position anil his blue lilood, but they dared not mention his faee, for in their hearts they knew he was hide ous to look upon he was old and iwrinkled, with hardly a tooth left in Ills tend. The Trinecss was quite detorn-ined. however, so she merely shook her liead in reply to their appeals. At last tie Kins completely lost his temper. "In sooth," ho erisd, "you are no daughter of mine. Xcver has such (wilfulness been known in my family before. I chose a worthy, kind hearted man who is fit for you to marry, and you scora him. For shame!" "He shall never bo my husband," de clared the obstinate Princess. "I shall know the man I am going to marry directly I meet him," she added. "What do yon mean?" demanded the King indigrantly. "Last night when I was asleep," aid the I'rlncess, "a handsome young Prince came to me in my droams, and be was. oh, so fair to look upon! He (was tall and straight and young, r.lboit that his h.-.ir was tinged with gray. And if I wait fifty, sixty or seventy years, I shall be content if he claims me at the end cf that time. But me thinks an evil spell lies heavily upon bim, otherwise ho would ccmc for ward uov." Then the King grew simply infuri ated with his daughter. Ho stormed and raved at her, and at lust, as a punisbmc.it for her disobedience, he condemned her to live all alone on a little island that could just be dis armed from the roof of the palace. But the Il-incess Uarelln mudo no injections. When the time came for ber to leave her home she stepped in to the boat c,uite willingly. She chatted gayly to the cre-v as they bore her out to sea, aud she guzed undauntedly at the little island on which she would probably be starved to d?ath. When they left her on the beach, with her 4nndle of things lying at her feet, fthj still seemed quite content with her fate, and she waved her handkerchief to ithe boat as long as she could see It " The first thing Darella Aid was to wander round the island in search, of a nice dry eav. to live in; and when she had found it she spread her few be longings about, and tried to make it look as comfortable and hnmniiL-n possible, and then, of course, she felt .hungry. When she set out to gather serself some fruit and some berries to eat she was surprised to find that somebody had already placed a pile of delicious fruit in readiness for her. "This is very nice." said the Prin cess, as she dug her little white teeth into a juicy pear. "I wonder who has been good enough to do this for me. think I shall be very happy here." And so she was. Although she never met any .human being upon the island, an Jier wants were attended to iu a most marvelous manner. A little he.in of fruit was always placed outside the floor of her cave every morning be fore she awoke, and when she went on for her daily walk round the island the LECEND OF THE RED ROSE. One day within a garden fair Love found a maiden sleeping; June sunbeams tangled in her hair; The sentry lilies keeping With rival purity and grace Their .oving watch above her; While o'er the happy dream r's face The whispering zephj : i hover. Love tin-cd an arrow w;th a kiss And sent it iiassion la.'n. With cunning hands thrt could not miss, To wake the sleeping maiden. It pierced her heart, she woke and smiled, With glances sweet and tender; It mr.de a woman of .;e child; Love', morning dawned i- splendor. She felt the arrow in her breast, She s.-.v love's empty quiver. The slender shaft she deeper pressed And smiled upon the giver. Love beckoned her, she rose ruth pride, To fly with her bold wooer; lie pledged her she should be his bride, No lover would be truer. A voice i. .one the dreamy air, A feeble father sought her; She turned from love in deep despair, To prove a faithful uaughter. "O come," cri.d love, "thy life, shall be Kncrmvned with joy and beauty;" "Takj up thy cross and follow me,'' Commanded stern-eyed duty. She wrenched the arrow lrom her breast, Her heart clung to it broken ; She laid them at his teet and blessed iler tirst and last love token. A glory shone within hrr eyes. She clasped the hand of duty; Heaven saw the noble tin rilice And tilled, her totil with beauty.

But one night, as she slept, she heard a voice crying out loudly to her to awake. "Oh, what is it?" cried the fright ened Trincess, leaping off her couch nnd running from the cave. But she could see nothing, except one large bat that wns circling over her head, and she kuew well enough that bats could not talk. "Listen," said the mysterious voice. "Your father has given his sanction to a plot that has been made to carry you off. He promises to give a bag of gold to the Prince who first reaches this island to-night. A few hours ago a fleet of boats left his palace and set sail for here. Each boat contains a Prince nnd several trusty men, and they are now racing, oue against the other, to see who shall arrive first. What do you wish to do? Shall the Princes land and claim you for their bride;, or shall we defend our island against them all? But the Trlncess Darella was so be wildered that she could do nothiug but cry. "I don't like talking to a voice with out an owner," she sobbed plaintively. It gives me the creeps." "I am very sorry," was the reply, "for I am afraid it cannot be altered. I have not the power to appear be fore you in my own shape yet. At present I am disguised as a bat, nnd if you will look up steadily you will be able to see me flying about." So the Princess glauced up nnd saw the bat darting in and out of the trees, and it comforted her. She felt quite willing to stay with him. for he had such a nice voice. "I think," she said, after a few min utes' consideration, "that I would pre- ler to remain on this island. I am very happy here, and I shall be more so now that I have found somebody who enn talk to me. You see, I don't wish to marry unless I meet my Dream Prince, and there really seems to be no chance of that But can you defend the lslsnd?" "Certainly I can," replied the voice eagerly. "But you must help me,' too." -res, I will," said Darella promptly, If you will tell me what to do." "I want you to sit upon that high piece of rock," explained the voice. ana comb your hair until the fight Is over. I will go down to the water's edge with my men and try to prevent the Princess landing." "With your men?" echoed the Prin cess. "Have you an army here?" "Well, not exactly tiat," replied the voice, In a rather hesitating manner. "But many of my companions are held by the same spell that I myself am, aud I know they will do their best to aid me if I ask them. But I must be going. Look out to sea, and you will be able to watch the boats as they ap proach our shore. Now. begin to comb your tresses, and do not cease until I return to you." So Darella clambered up on the rock and after (he unbraided her lovely golden hair she commenced to comb it But every time she drew the sil ver comb through, it came out in such handfuls that soon she thought she would become bald. The wind caught her beautiful curls as they fluttered from her head, and blew them toward the sea, but the Princess had no Idea what they were being' used for. In the distance she could hear the men shouting loudly, and, though she grew very nervous, she never ceased her combing; the more anxious she be came, the more vigorously she went on with her task. In the meantime the hat that bad tnlked so long to Darella was flying round the island arousing hundreds of other bats. At the sound of bis voice they all gathered around him In a dense gray cloud, and hastened down to the water's edge just as the occu pants of the boats were prepared to laud. But the moment the men placed their feet upon the bench the bats hurled themselves in their faces and beat them back. Again aud again the men struggled forward, but they could not advance at all. For not only had they to light against these vicious lit tle creatures, but they could feel at the same time something twining round their legs and holding them back. They did not kuow .that It was the golden locks of the Princess Da rella that Impeded their progress so much, for when the wind rushed away with her silken tresses It bad orders to twist tin.. a about thj enemy and hinder them as much as possible. One by oue the men were beaten back td their boats until, worn out by strug gling aud completely defeated by the bats, they decided to return to the1 palace and leave tlie Trlncess to her fate. When I he hats saw they were vic torious, they fell into line behind their leader, and In this order they sudden ly appeared before the maiden. She Jumped to her feet with fear as she saw that hundreds of these little crea tures surrounded her, but In a min ute the voice she knew spoke to her telling her not to be nfrnld. The Princess advanced a few steps and held out her hands gratefully. "Dear little bats, I thank you," she said kindly. "It is very good of you td have fought so bravely for me, nnd I wish that 1 could show you some return!" "You enn! Ton can!" they cried, be coming almost mad with excitement. "Tell nie how," cried Darella eagerly. "I will do anything for you." "Let us each kiss your hand," they entreated. "Then we shall be able to resume our natural forms." So, although the Princess did not like it at all, she held out her hands nnd allowed each bat to caress them. The bats that kissed her right hand instantly became men, while her left hand wns the means of restoring the women to their original shapes. The Princess was overjoyed nt the changes that she saw around her, but after looking about her eagerly ber face sudj denly grew very sad. "Are there no more of you?" she asked. "Where Is the hat that helped me to-dny ?" - Immediately she felt a soft touch upon her hair, but before sho had time' to object, a handsome figure, with1 gray hair, stood before her. With a1 little cry of joy the Princess Darella threw herself into his arms." "My Dream Prince!" sho said de lightedly. "I always said we should meet some day. How glad I am that I remained truo to you, although I saw yon only in my dreams!" So the Princess married the Dream Frinee, who proved to be the King of the island, and a Very wealthy one, too. He and his companions had been turned Into bats as a .punishment for teasing some fairies, nnd the spell could only be removed In tho way I have just described. Cassell's Little Folks. Tanililer Her Ways." Among tho apparently useless evils of the world, tho white man has al ways reckoned the white ant, the) greedy devourer of everything vegetn ble and animal that comes in its way, making many a region unlit for human habitation, but now Dr. Arthur J. Hayes, who has recently visited Abys sinia with the surveying party sent out to set up the marks for gaging tho annual rise of the Blue Nile, broaches another theory. Ho went through the Soudan to Lnke Tsunn, Western Abys sinia, and returned to F.gypt by the valley of the Alhbarii, nnd in his book, "The Source of tho Blue Nile," he records his opinion that it is to the white nnts that the mud spread over the Nile delta in the annual floods' owes its wonderful fertility. He docs' not say that the ants supply all thd mud that Is deposited In the delta, bui that its productive property is due to their work in the western borderland of Abyssinia. Tho discovery, if dis covery it be, is as interesting as those of the value of the earthworm, and the possibility of inoculating land for the Increase of a desired harvest Perhaps the humble brown ant and even the little black ant are benofacS tors of the human race, and the mnsori wasps and ground spider have other uses than to cause naturalists to writ delightful books.

Especially is this true in cases where the victim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Therefore the person who al lows dyspeptic conditions to pro gress unchecked is contributing toward, the development of the most fatal disease known to man kind. Dyspepsia wears out the body and the brain makes the victim thin, haggard and sallow. The stomach, unable to digest food, cannot supply nourishment. When other diseases come they enter unresisted. L. P. Turner, 209 Howard Street, Detroit, Mich., says : ' "I have suffered from dys pepsia and indigestion for several years and it reached such a stage that I could hold nothing on my stomach, and immediately after eating the lightest foods, would be taken with a violent fit of vom . iting. I tried a great many rem edies, but nothing helped me until I procured a box of Rexall Dys pepsia Tablets, when I obtained instant relief. I am now able to cat heavy foods and I gladly re commend the Rexall Tablets to anyone suffering as I did." Don't take any chances. Cure your dyspepsia at once. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will do it.
