On hills which the high heart clomb,

they dared not mention his faee, for

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.
Love took hi" silver how a . 1 made

In it her heart and arrow laid
And le.t them ;n tune's keeping.

cave was swept and tidied before she
returned.
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

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

Perhaps the humble brown ant and
even the little black ant are benofacS

Dyspepsia
Post-mortem statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that
many cases of consumption are
clue to the uninterrupted progress
of dyspepsia.
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. We
know what they are and guarantee
them to restore health, strength
and a good digestion. Twenty
five cents will buy a box big
enough for a fifteen days' trial.
