Princess Susette
And the Sentry
By HARRY C. CARR
Copyright, 100'J, by the
S. S. MoClure Company
There was a vivid flash In the sun
shine as the sentry by the palace gate
raised his saber in salute to the Prin
cess Susette.
Her highness had run away from her
nurse and stood peeking out curiously
into the great world beyond the gates.
The children of the lodgekeeper were
making mud pies in the creek that
skirted the palace grounds. The Prin
cess Susette wished that she, too,
might make mud pies.
The flash from the sentry's saber
caught her eye. The Princess Susette
meditatively sucked one little pink
thumb and surveyed liim with round
eyed wonder. He looked big and ter
rible on his great gray troop horse.
"What makes you do that?" inquired
Princess Susette plaintively, for the
long saber at "present arms" was glim
mering with little hot flashes of light.
"Because you are a princess," said
the sentry briefly.
A wave of discontent swept over the
fnco of the Princcss'Susctte.
"I don't want to be a princess," she
wailed. "They won't let you do uossin'
when you are a princess."
The sentry sat in frozen silence.
The eye of the princess wandered
back to the lodgekeeper's children
making mud pies by the creek.
"I wish I could make mud pies," said
her highness wistfully.
The Princess Susette came timidly
out from the gateway and touched the
sentry's huzzar boot with a tiny dim
pled hand.
"Mr. Soldier," she said softly, "I
wish I could make mud pies."
"The orders are that nobody can pass
the gate." growled the sentry.
The sweet lips of the Princess Su
sette quivered, and the big blue eyes
of the Princess Susette filled with
tears.
"Oh, Mr. Soldier," she sobbed, "I'm
such a lonely little girl! I wish 1 had
some one to play wiz."
The heart of the Princess Susette
overflowed with woe. Her highness
leaned heavily against the shoulder of
the big war horse and wept bitter tears
on the saber taelie of tlie sentry. The
boot of tlie sentry was streaked with
royal tears, and tlie black from tlie sen
try's stirrup strap begrimed the fuce of
the princess.
The sentry glared straight out to the
front and center through a strange mist
that dimmed the outlines of the gate
post opposite.
The gray troop liorse bent his head
and softly nozzled the plump, heaving
shoulders of the unhappy little Prin
cess Susette.
The light of an inspiration came into
the tear stained face of the princess.
She sat down in the middle of tlie road
and peeled off her shoes and stockings.
Tlie little barelegged maid in stiff
white lawn presented a queer figure
of a princess as her highness paddled
back to tlie sentry.
"Mr. Soldier," she began tentatively,
but the speech died on her lips. She
had just discovered that making fig
ures in the dust with one's bare toe is
the most fascinating amusement in
the world. She was recalled from her
absorbing occupation by the distant
rattle of pony hoofs. Her nurse was
in pursuit.
The princess looked up eagerly at the
sentry.
"Mr. Soldier," she said.
The sentry looked straight out to the
front and center and paid no heed.
"Mr. Soldier!" this in a breathless
panic.
Still the sentry would not look, so she
gave his leg a vicious pinch.
The sentry's saber flashed again to
"present arms."'
"Can I go now?" asked the Princess
Susette.
"Nobody can pass," said the sentry
gruffly.
The princess looked up at him slyly.
"Mr. Soldier, nut'sy wouldn't let mo
go barefooted because she said only
little nobodies went barefoot. I'm no
body now."
And the Princess Susette held up hei
shoes and stockings for him to see.
On one side tlie sentry could hear
the hoofbeats growing louder, and
through the shrubbery lie caught a
glimpse of a pony cart driven hard. On
the other side he heard tlie spiasli of
water and the happy shout of the
lodgekeeper's children. The lips of
tlie lonely little princess were begin
ning to quiver again when tlie sentry's
sillier flashed a deilunt gleam as it rose
In salute.
"Pass!" said the sentry shortly.
The Princess Susette. barelegged, ran
down the road and shyly made her
way Into the bakery business with the
lodgekeeper's children. The sentry
glanced out of the corner of his eye to
the right of him, to the left of him.
No one was nigh.
Then he called cautiously after the
Princess Susette: "Build a dam across
the creek. That's more fun than mak
ing mud pies."
When tlie pony cart came dashing up
In hot haste, with a groom and a fright
ened nurse, the sentry, without a trace
of expression in ills face, was staring
at the gatepost opposite.
"Where is the Princess Susette?"
gasped the white faced nurse.
The sentry sat in stern silence. It
was against his orders to talk.
"Where is the Princess Susette?" de
manded the nurse in sudden terror.
The sentry Stared on at the gatepost
opposite, but beyond the gate came a
childish treble thut the aurse knew.
The Princess Susette was shrieking
with delight over her first mud pie.
The nurse grabbed the lines from the
groom and urged the pony forward by
Jerking the lines backward after the
manner of women. The sentry's horse
moved majestically out from the gate
post and blocked the way.
"Get out of the way!" ordered the
nurse furiously.
"You cannot pass!" said the sentry
coldly.
"I want the Princess Susette!" cried
the nurse wildly.
She jerked the pony's head and tried
to turn by the sentry, but a great
gauntlet caught the pony's bridle and
held It in a vise. The pony, bewildered
by the whip behind, began to plunge,
and the groom had to run'to his head.
The distracted nurse scrambled from
the cart and rau with flying skirts to
ward the gate, but the gray troop
horse felt the dig of sharp spurs and
plunged desperately out to head her
off. Crowded into a corner by the pal
ace gate, the nurse called to the groom
to drive on and get the rrincess Su
sette.
The troop horse wheeled, and the
sentry whipped out a gleaming pistol
from his saddle holster.
"Halt!" he thundered, nnd the order
rang ill the ears of the groom like a
pistol shot. The pistol looked big and
black, and the gaunt soldier by the gate
with his bearskin huzzar cap and the
scarlet dolman over his shoulder was
terrible to look upon.
The groom slunk hack, and the nurse
wept in despair.
It was the best time the Princess
Susette ever had in her whole life.
When she came back, the hair had
straggled down into nor highness' face
and there was a smudge of blue black
mud across the tip of her highness'
little snub nose. Her highness' stock
ings, wet as a dishrag, were slung
around her highness' neck in a lovely
way that the lodgekeeper's children
had shown her. The princess carried
one shoe in her hand; the other had
tloated ofT down the stream after a
tempestuous career as an ocean liner,
plying across the creek and carrying
pebbles. The princess sniffled with a
cold in her head, but the heart of the
princess was glad.
The nurse, ou the verge of hysterics,
waited on the other side of the sentry
line, like a football player ready to
tackle.
But the Princess Susette turned back
to tlie sentry.
"Mr. Soldier," she said.
The sentry was staring fixedly at the
gatepost.
"Mr. Soldier," she said, tugging at
his boot, "Mr. Soldier, 1 fink I would
like to kiss you."
The sentry looked down out of the
corner of his eye at the sweet little
flushed face. The sentry sheathed his
drawn saber with a clang. The sentry
reached down bis two big gauntlets to
the Princess Susette. • • *
The nurse and the groom were horri
fied at the spectacle.

Discussing the differences between
Washington and other American cities
In an article on "The Capital of Our
Democracy" In The Century, Henry
Lootnis Nelson says:
"If Washington is not like the typ
ical American city, how, then, can it
he ttie city of America, the one city
nbove all others in the land where the
stranger can most satisfactorily study
national traits? If Its people are not
bubbling over with boiling energy; if
it Is not shuken with the national fever
and ague, one day burning with thq
heat of a 'boom' and another day shak
ing with tlie chill of a panic; if most
of Its men are not struggling for mon
ey all day and rushing home to slip
pers and rest at evening; if the wives
and daughters of many of the more
successful of these hunters Mr wealth
are not vain seekers after social dis
tinction; if the idle American nobility
is not dominating in its society, as it
is in our other American cities, why is
life In Washington characteristically
American? Because It Is all America
on an even footing and all America in
repose, with time to be idle. It is
America not engaged in making its liv
ing or its fortune."
Payne's Verse and the Rejoinder.
There are many anecdotes and rem
iniscences of the author of "Home,
Sweet Iloine," hut perhaps nothing
better than the following, says the
Philadelphia Times. In 1835 Payne
spent some time in the south and form
ed the acquaintance of a daughter of
Judge Samuel Goode of Montgomery.
The woman, like others of her sex
about that time, kept an "album." to
which her friends were, of course, ask
ed to contribute. Payne was applied
to, and this is what be wrote:
Lady, your name. If understood,
Explains your nature to a letter:
And may you never change from Goode
Unless If possible to better.
The man who was asked to fill the
opposite page happened to be Mirn
beau of Lamar, afterward president of
the Lone Star Republic of Texas. And
this was his response:
I am content with being Goode.
To aim at better would be vain:
But If I do 'tis understood,
Whate'er the cause, It Is not Payne.
An Old Iden.
Macaulay was not the first man to
frame the famous image of the man of
a new civilization standing amid the
ruins of that which we know today.
Long before he wrote of his traveler
from New Zealand meditating upon
London bridge Mrs. Barbauld had used
the same Image, with the difference
that she applied it to Blackfriars
bridge. An earlier reviewer had used
It in an article published in 17(37, we
are told by an English commentator,
und Horace Walpole says in one of bis
letters, "At last some curious traveler
from Lima will visit England and give
a description of the ruius of 6t, Paul's."
MAN BEFORE BREAKFAST.
More 111 Naturcd Than Woman, Says
an Obaervant Restaurateur.
"Of course," said an avenue restau
rant keeper, "I think my business gives
me the best opportunities in the world
for judging human nature. My obser
vations have led me to the conclusion
that women, as nervous as they are
supposed to be, are more good natured
than men. The test for this trait comes
at breakfast time. Now, I suppose
that my customers are about as cheery
a lot as frequent any restaurant in the
city. A good many of them are news
paper men, who, as a usual thing, take
life as it comes without much com
plaint. If you take them in the even
ing or late at night, you will tind them
the most companionable lot imaginable.
But let me tell you there is a difference
in the morning.
"As friendly as lam with most of the
men who come in here, there is not
one whom I would care to provoke be
fore he gets his breakfast. Most of the
'kicks' are made concerning the first
meal of the day. The waiter is too
slow; the steak is too rare; the steak is
too well done; the eggs are not fried
properly or are boiled too little or too
much. But by the time the average
man has had a good meal und a cup
of hot coffee 'Richard is himself again.'
"Now, with women it is different. I
don't know whether it is because they
wake up less hungry than men or
whether an empty stomach affects their
nerves to a less degree, but those who
get their breakfast here seldom annoy
us with complaints."—Washington Post.
Don't* For Literary Bcfflnnerii.
Don't tell the editor what your fam
ily or friends or literary acquaintances
say of your manuscript.
Don't urge the editor to buy your
manuscript because you need the mon
ey to help you in contributing to the
support of your family or in making
your way through college.
Don't assume a jaunty, sarcastic or
insistent tone with tlie editor. Don't
coyly ask him to "permit this literary
dove to nest in your olive tree or else
return it to the ark at the above ad
dress."
Don't try to temper the severity of
his judgment by sending him pressed
flowers with your manuscript or to
impress him with your literary power
and experience by telling him that you
"write on the spur of the moment and
never correct."
Bear in mind, in short, that the best
way to submit a manuscript is simply
to submit it and lot it speak for Itself.—

Snow In Venice.
"I saw Venice once under unusual
circumstances," said a traveler. "At
the time of which I speak that sunny,
smiling land was wrapped in snow.
Our folks were a bit surprised, but the
natives were amazed. To the real Ve
netians snow is a thing they do not
know how to deal with. Many persons
remain all day in bed indulging in hot
drinks and pass their time in doing
nothing. The children, to their extreme
satisfaction, are not sent to school, as
the streets and squares are covered
with snow. Those courageous persons
who venture abroad only walk at the
slowest pace. To cross a bridge is con
sidered hazardous, if not foolhardy. St.
Mark's square is entirely deserted.
Even the pigeons are invisible."
Miipah.
llow many people know that the
monument that I.aban and Jacob set
up near the borders of Canaan and
called "Mizpah," or a lookout, was
erected in suspicion rather than love?
The literal meaning was this: "The
Lord watch between thee and me
when we are absent one from the oth
er, and see that you are not up to some
new trick as soon as my back is turn
ed."
So when it is inscribed in an engage
ment ring it might mean, "The Lord
watch and see that you do not flirt
when we are absent one from the oth
er."
Those who use the text are some
times wiser than they know.
Strong Even In Death.
A yew tree almost destitute of branch
es or bark grows abundantly in the
Caucasus to a height of from fifty to
sixty feet and a diameter of a little
over two feet. It grows slowly, but its
timber is almost indestructible except
by tire. It is considered superior in
durability, appearance and toughness
to mahogany, which it otherwise some
what resembles. In some large forests
of this tree it is very difficult to distin
guisli the live trees from the dead ones,
the latter being very numerous and
said to stand for 100 years after death
without exhibiting decay.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Posnlbllities In a Roy.
I have a profound respect lor boys.
Grimy, ragged, tousled boys In the
street often attract me strangely. A
boy is a man In the cocoon. You do
not know what it is going to become.
His life is big with possibilities. He
may make or unmake kings, change
boundary lines between states, write
books that will mold characters or in
vent machines that will revolutionize
the commerce of the world. Every
nian was a boy. It seems strange, but
it is really so. Wouldn't you like to
turn time backward and see Abraham
Lincoln at twelve, when he had never
worn a pair of boots, the lank, lean,
yellow, hungry boy—hungry for love,
hungry for learning—tramping off
through the woods for twenty miles to
borrow a hook and spelling it out
crouching before the glare of the burn
ing logs?
Then there was that C'orsican boy,
one of a goodly brood, who weighed
only fifty pounds when ten years old.
who was thin and pale and perverse
and had tantrums and had to be set
supperless to bed or locked In a dark
closet because he wouldn't "mind!"
Who would have thought that he would
have mastered every phase of warfare
at twenty-six and when the exchequer
of France was in dire confusion would
say: "The iiuauces? 1 will arrange
them."
Distinctly and vividly I remember a
squat, freckled boy who was born in
the "Patch" and used to pick up coal
along railroad tracks in Buffalo. A few
months ago I had a motion to make
before the court of appeals at Roches
ter. That boy from the "Patch" was
the judge who wrote the opinion grant
ing my petition.
Be patient with the hoys. You are
dealing with soul stuff. Destiny waits

Big FIHII Fat Little Flati.
It is not an uncommon thing for
trees to be torn lip by the great storms
that break over tropical countries and
swept out to sen. One time while a
vessel was Ij'ing In the bay of Bengal
waiting for a breeze to fill its sails the
sailors spent their time in studying the
wonders of the deep. An object float
ing at some distance from the ship was
thought to be a turtle. When they
rowed lip to it, however, it turned out
to be a tree upside down in the water.
Swimming in and about the leafless
branches were fishes of every descrip
tion from three to nine inches long,
many beautifully colored. Outside the
branches a ring of dolphins were keep
ing watch in the hope of gobbling up
any fishes foolish enough to leave their
harbor of refuge, while a wider circle
was composed of sharks waiting for
their chances.

Roland was five years old when he
fell ill with scarlet fever and was quar
antined in the nursery with mamma as
nurse. During his convalescence the
doctor cautioned mamma not to let
anything come into the sickroom ex
cept such articles as could either be
scalded or burned. Ronald looked very
grave when he heard this repeated sev
eral times and, looking up from the tin
and wooden soldiers which he was
marshaling on the sewing board, said,
"Mamma, these can be scalded or
burned, but what are you going to do
with me?"— Exchange.
Cleaning and Pre**lng as a Bu*ine*a.
There are hundreds of towns and
small cities where a boy or young man
can do a good business in cleaning and
pressing clothes. In Morrlstown, N.
J., Kelsey B. Gould began by circulat
ing attractive printed matter and ar
ranging to serve bis customers on
yearly contracts. After awhile be pro
vided dress suit cases for bis custom
ers, and clothes were collected and de
livered by uniformed messenger boys.
Calls were made regularly every week.
The business requires very little capi
tal, and any bright boy with push can
make a success of it.
Hart Himself on a Ran;.
One morning a lady noticed a hornet
on the window of her parlor. She
started to drive out the unwelcome
visitor, but was called away for a few
minutes, and the hornet was forgotten.
Soon little Elmer ran into the room
to look at a passing parade. He did
not see the hornet and leaned his fore
head directly upon it, whereupon it re
taliated in the usual way.
With shrieks and a rapidly swelling
forehead he ran to his mother, crying:
"Oh, mamma, I hurt myself on a
bug!"
Scantily Clad.
Little Augusta was at the window.
"Oh, come quick, or you won't see
it!" she called excitedly. "He's running

"What is it, dear?" asked her mother.
"Why, there's a horse going down
the street with nothing on but his tail."
The One Who Wan Afraid.
"I like the dark," the bat exclaimed.
"Afraid of It? Not I!
I spread my wings and flit around
lieneath a starless sky."
"And so do I," remarked the moth.
The owlet hooted: "Who—o—o—
Who fears the dark? At any rate,
They cannot say I do!"
"I wish you did!" observed the mouse.
"Now. I am very small.
And I'm afraid of many things,
But darkness? Not at all!"
The wntchdog gave a mighty yawn
And then a cheery bark;
"While I am here to guard the house
Why should folks dread the dark?"
The cat upon the roof cried: "Mew!
I'm sure I feel all right.
Give me the darkness. If you please;
One sings so well at night!"
And all this while a little boy

Curious Stone Implements of Our
Aborigines I'uzzle Scientists.
Among thousands of curious objects
of utility, weapons, etc., of the races
that peopled North America in prehis
toric times that one sees in the cases
and cabinets in the Smithsonian insti
tution are some live or more curiously
wrought stone objects from mounds in
Tennessee bearing such a close re
semblance to modern fintirons that
many people have thought that such
might have been their use among their
prehistoric makers, although it would
be hard to imagine what the primitive
aborigines of this continent bad to
iron.
The shape and appearance of these
objects in every way correspond with
n modern fi:rto>n, handle and all, and
thus fur scientific men have been un
able to discover what they were used
for. It is, however, just a little singu
lar that wrought stones, similar to the
ones from the Tennessee mounds, have
been foutid in Peru among the tombs of
the I neas und at the necropolis of An
con. The old Spanish writers, men
who accompanied Pizzaro in the con
quest of that country, state that the
ancient Peruvians, who were great
builders, used these wrought stones, or
so called flatlrons, at* trowels in plas
tering walls with mcKir.
The objects found in one of the Ten
nessee mounds are the only ones that
were ever found in the United States,
and the only way to account for their
presence in that locality is to suppose
that in pre-Columbian times a great
deal of Peruvian material reached
countries far to the north of the isth
mus by means of intertribal trade.—
