A ROYAL DISAPPOINTMENT
"The carrlaae la waiting. Princess."
"I will walk this morning," ths
princess Ilosatie answered graciously.
Then to her lsdles-ln-waitlng with a
sweet winning smile, "I wish to be
nlnne."
The royal wish constituted a com
mand, and the malas-of-honor soon
dispersed to their several diversions.
Left alone, the Princess waadered
thro'h her beautiful gardens, and at
length tnnlto her war to her favorite
arbor, a little retreat tucked away
under a huge bowlder, where the
roses grew In riotous profusion, and
the branches of the trees heavy with
folliiKo Interlaced, forming a canopy,
that the golden sunlight tried to pene
trate, but that only a few shafts of
gold could pierce. The birds flew In
snd out at . will, and their strange
sweet chorus, together with the song
of the gentle south wind and rustling
lr-ivea, formed a delightful symphony
jf .formi by that most wonderful
r.nist. Mother Nature. It was alto
reiher a charming nook, and well
i n ".led the title of "Her Majesty's
Uov.er."
The Princess threw herself careless
ly on the little rustic bench that or
lamented the arbor and closed her
ovs. A strange thing had happened
last night nt the court reception. K
was her 21st birthday, and -the eastl
as filled with guests, many of them
American tourists. Even at the re
ce" ion Inst night many Americans
h.-ui been presented to her, and there
had been one In particular on whom
s'-'v had smiled with more than ordi
nary favor when be kissed her hand.
He was so different from hr own peo
ple; he was so strong and handsome,
with a boyish carelesB grace that
rjttl to won the little Princess' heart
AcJ all the evening be had roamed
through the rooms as If looking for
no: '.o one. Perhaps, and here a sweet
flurh roe to the clear ivory of her
face, perhaps it was herself he was
looklUK for; for after the reception
was over she bad mingled with the
guests and had danced Quite like the
other ladies present.
She hoped he would be at court
again that evening, and if he were,
perhaps she would dance with, him aa
a mark of her special favor.
The Princess' reverie was rudely
disturbed by the sound of voices ap
proaching the arbor. With a fright-en-d
gasp, she slipped behind the big
rock. There were many strangers at
the castlo, and It would be a most un
conventional thing to find the Prin
cess Rosalie alone In the arbor unat
tended by her malds-of-henor.
'h Agnln the little Princess gasped as
h recognized the Intruders, for they
entered the arbor and sat on the Prin
ce .' own bench. The man was no
other than the handsome American
the Princess had spent the morning
dreaming of; and the girl? Well, her
Mtijesty did not care to know Just who
the girl was, but that she was very
young and pretty even the Princess
could not deny.
"You were at the court reception
last night," the girl was saying. The
Princess Rosalie Is very pretty, la she
not?" -
"is she?" her companion returned
Indifferently. "I didn't notice. I was
looking everywhere for you, dear. I
would not have gone had I not thought
you were going to be there."
The girl laughed softly and hap
pily, as she broke a rose from lta
(item and carelessly pulled the petals
apart, watching them fall through her
fingers to the ground. Still laughing
happUy, they left the arbor and wan
dered off to enjoy the beautiful
grounds surrounding the palace.
The Prlncefis came forth from her
hiding place with a flush of real anger
on ner lace. Tearing up her beloved
roses rigtit before her very eyes, and
then walking off with the handsome
American with whom she had already
fallen In love. It was ulte a few
minutes before she sufficiently recov
ered her Jmperlal dignity to present
lorself at the castle, and then her
niHlds-of-honor wondered at the silent
hanKuty bearing of their royal mis
tress, who was usually so sweet and
winning.
"I will rldenow; you may all ac
company me, she said quietly.
In less than half an hour the horses
were brought around and the Princess
and her maids were ready to start on
their morning ride. The usual stay
chatter was absent this mornlnf, as
her Majesty showed a desire for
silence. Suddenly she reined (n her
horse and called quickly to the
groom. Her companions woadered at
their royal mistress' flushed and dis
turbed face, for all they could see
were two inoffensive foreigners en
Joying the beauty of the grounds.
"Henri." the Princess' voice shook
a little as If In anger, "you see that
lady and gentleman by the shrub
bery?" . "Yes, your Majesty," the groom an
wered. "Kindly Inform them that these are
the Princess Rosalie's private
groundB."
"Yes, your Majesty."
"And, Henri, tell them they are
trespassing, and that the Princess re
quests they leave the park at once."
The groom went on his errand,
vaguely wondering, for although the
grounds belonged exclusively to the
r as tie, the Princess graciously al
lowed the tourists to enjoy her beau
tiful gardens.
The Princess suddenly became her
bright happy self again as they turned
Into a. different path. After all Prin
cesses are very much like other girla
UENEVIEVK MARIE BQYCE.
Almost as Good.
' Little Ikey came up to bis father
with a very solemn face.
'Is It true, father," be asked, "that
marriage is a failure?"
, His father surveyed him thought
fully for a moment.
"Well, Ikey," he finally replied, "If
you get a rich wife it's 'almost as gopd
as a failure."
CAP, THE
FIR.E. DOG
Cap bad lived with the flremea
ver since he could remember. He
had been brought to the statloa when
he wss only a little puppy, and every
fireman loved him and declared that
Cap was the wisest dog that he had
eve. seen.
One fireman had taught Cap to
stand on his back feet and say,
"Bow-wow!" whenever he was hun
gry. Another fireman had taught
him to scratch the floor below the
water faucet and bark whenever he
was thirsty.
He could walk on bis back feet,
drink from the Are hose, and drag
the hose about whenever he was
told to do so.
The chief of the Are department
said that Cap could do more "tricks"
thaa any dog he had ever seen, and
the beat one of all he had learned
to do without ever having been told
how to do it.
The. firemen alept upstairs over
the station in long rows of white
beds, and, whenever the fire bell
rang In the night, the firemen would
spring from their beds, dress before
you could say "Jack Robinson," run
to the four large holes In the floor,
and come sliding down tbe poles one
after another; then they wonld run
to the horses, which at tbe sound of
the bell had found their places In
front of the engine, the bose-cart,
the hook-end-ladder wagon, and the
chief's cart, buckle on the harness,'
and each fireman would spring Into
place ready to drive away to the fire.
Cap longed to slide . down tbe
poles- as the firemen did, but of
course that was something no dog
could do. 80, If he happened to be
upstairs, as he often was, when the
fire bell rang in the daytime, he
would run to tbe stairway, clear the
steps at three bounds, and spring to
his place on the seat beside the
chief.
But at night Cap stayed down
stairs, sleeping very near tbe tele
phone and fire bell; and, when the
alarm sounded, the firemen would
hear Cap's loud "Bow-wow!" almost
as soon as they heard the bell, and,
no matter bow quickly they dressed,
they would always find Cap In his
place ahead of them.
"He Is the best fireman In the
station," the chief would sometimes
say. "He Is always dressed and
ready for work." And. the firemen
would laugh and pat Cap's bead,
snd say that, if they slept in their
clothes as Cap did, they, too, would
be ready and In their places In one
minute.
But no fireman ever alept aftecthe
bell rang, and not one of them was
ever known to say, "Walt a minute,"
or, "I am too sleepy to go." Even
the horses would run to their places
the Instant they heard the bell, so
Cap thought it his place to do tbe
same.
One night there was a great storm.
and something happened to the tele,
phone and fire bells, so that they
could not ring; and, In the night
time, when all was dark and still
and all the firemen' and the fire
Worses, were sound asleep, a house
caught fire, and the policeman on
the street corner ran to the telephone
to call the firemen out.
.The fire bell tried lta beat to ring;
but. Instead of a loud "Dlng-a-llng,'
it could say nothing more than
"Bs-s."
Not a fireman heard It.
Not even a fire horse mdved.
"Di-i-i!" said the bell again, 'and
suddenly Cap opened his eyea, and
with a loud "Bow-wow-wow!
sprang to his place In the chief's
cart.
The fireman rolled out of their
beds, and each one .asked:- "Did
you hear that? Did the fire bell
ring?" And the answer came: "No,
It waa only Cap barking; but he la
certainly saying 'fire.' We had bet
ter dress and slide down and see
about It."
"Bow-wow! bow-wow-wow!" bark
ed Cap.
"B-s-s-s!" said the bell Just as
the first fireman came sliding dewa
the pole.
"Fire!" shouted the fireman. "Cap
waa rigni. come on! And In a
moment there was a clattering of
many hoofs aa the fire horses dashed
to their places, the Jingling of har
ness as it dropped Into place on the
horses' backs, shouts of "Fire, keep
out of the street!" from the police
man In front of the . station, - and
"ciang, clang, clang!" from ; the
gongs of the engine, the hose cart,
the hook-and-ladder wagon, and the
chiefs cart as they dashed away
down the street..
The fire waa aoon found and put
out; and, when the people who lived
In the burning house came out to
thank the firemen, -the chief patted
Cap on the head and said: "Do hot
thank us, Thank Cap. He Is the
best fireman of us all." And Cap.
who had never for one . moment
ceased his "Bow-wow-wow!" wagged
his tall and said, dog fashion, "I did
the best I could, but I am not a fire
man, I am only Cap, the fire dog."

Professional Query
Among the papers of R. H. Stoddard
that Ripley Hitchcock edited there Is
a letter which Oliver Wendell Holmes,
the poet-physlclan. is said to have re
ceived. This letter waa written- many
years ago by ' an, Ignorant country
practitioner, and it is interesting be
cause it shows the low level to which
In the early part of the last 'century.
It was possible for medical education
to fall.
The letter, verbatim, follows:
"Dear dock I have a pashunt whose

Beginning Anew
i ' J I
Pickert pulled his slouch bat still
further down over his eyea, and rook
ed stealthily at the store aa he shuf
fled past But In that glance he had
seen all that he needed to finish his
k report He bad walked this way be
fore.
The captain was' a strict mas, and
if a report did not please him. Pick
erf well knew that he waa not the
one to show any leniency In his deal
ings with the offender. But he was
confident that hl. report this time
eould not fall to please his superior.
It waa not Infrequently that Pickert
wlsbed that he could leave It all. The
desire to be honest again would al
most master him at times, but when
he had about made up his mind, the
thought wonld come to blm that there
was no other place for him In life.
Who would give employment to s
man wearing such rags as be wa9
obliged tor wear, and on whose face
the deeds of tbe last two years bad
not failed to leave their marks? No,
It was no use to try to be decent once
more. He got enough from the spoils
to keep body and soul, together, and
though that waa about all, it waa bet
ter than not being able to have even
a rrnet and shelter. '.
The captain dressed well almost
elegantly. He did not take an active
part in the affairs which his men car
ried on In the night He only super-
Intended the business It was by far
the aafer way yet to him fell the
maximum share of the ill-gotten gains.
Once Pickert had been honored and
respected, but that was before he had
left his home for the West Not find
ing the gold which tad lured him
there, be had drifted baok to an East
ern city, and had fallen In with bad
company, and eventually, not having
a penny left, he had Joined the cap
tain's band.
Since that time he had tried to
thrust all thoughts of bla old borne
from his mind, but was Impossible.
Pickert hated the small dingy room
under the eaves which he waa obliged
to call home, and to-day he dreaded
more thaa ever to return to It Just
now he could not help thinking of the
home of. his boyhood days- and his
mother who had loved and trusted
him. H had left her with the assur
ance that some day he would return
with gold enough to give her every
thing that heart could wish. And
how well he remembered her answer
"Never mind the gold, Jim. All I ask
Is that my boy shall be a good and
an honest man." . And he had told
her that he would be all that (he
wished. And now
Pickery's rough hand stole up to his
eyes, and be murmured something en-
der his breath. . . '
As he was passing a small church
In the most disreputable- part of the
city very near bis home he waa ar
rested by the sound of tinging. . Just
now waa a great revival season, and
noon services were being held In
most of tbe churches.
Some feeling which he could not
throw off Impelled him to enter, and
he sneaked- Into a seat by the. door.
He was too wicked to be here, he mut
tered to himself in a mlnut be
would be moving on but he wonld
wait until they had finished singing.
His eyes grew moist as he listened te
the hymn. How many times in tils
boyhood be had heard his mother
sing "The Ninety' and Nine." - Then
he had- been good- and honorable.
What would she say If she could see
him now? It would break ber heart
- The tears fell now 'upon the ragged
coat, and at that moment Pickert reg
istered a vow In his heart "I'll be a
man again It'a not too late." Then
swiftly tbe thought came, "What will
tbe captain aay If you back out?'
Then as quickly the answer, "It won't
make no difference what he aays or
what he does. I'm dead tired of doing
wrong." -
He started to leave tbe church, but
he stopped suddenly, petrified with
amazement The captain stood by the
door! When he had recovered him
self he walked up to him. -
"I'm through dolng your dirty
work," he whispered hoarsely In hit
ear. "You can do what you Want to
me I dont care I'm through with
this miserable kind of a life."
"Let us walk along together a little
ways," waa all the captain said In re
ply-
Pickert was astounded.- What had
happened? All the captain's bravado
waa gone, and his black eyes had soft
ened considerably.
"I watched you go In I wanted to
see what you waa up to," the captain
said after a while, "and I followed. 1
ain't been Inside a church before for
years. You beard that hymn, Pickert
She used to sing it when I waa a boy
my m-mother. I mean, and It made
me think of when 1 was different.
But I've been too long now In this
business to turn over a new leaf, bu'
It's not too late for you to begin anew.
You shall have a chance'. Here's
enough tin to take yon out West
When you get there go to work, and
start over again."
He had put his hand Into his pocket,
and as he finished speaking ha thrust
something Into Plckerfs hand. Be
fore the latter had 1 chance to say a
word, the captain turned on his heel
and walked away In the opoalte direc
tion. ,
For the first time In two years Pick
ert raised his head sad looked upward.
"Thank Ood for this chance to begin
again." he murmured reverently. "I ll
yet be tbe nut that I promised moth
er I'd be."
Aad this time pickert made-good.

A Telling Shot
Bradford had three weaknessea at
Lennox that summer, each one excel
lent In Its way, hut combined they
combined against him. i .
There's no harm la a camera, ex
cept to a pocketbook; there's no harm
In a bicycle; there's no harm In a girl.
But the girl had said. "Do you know,
Mr. Bradford, you look uncommonly
well on. a wheel." . That was -why
Bradford had been busy for two days
wUh his best Instantaneous shutter
and a very long string.
He chose an old road, little fre
quented by riders snd drivers, where
he would not be liable to Interruption,
and spent a great deal of time In
choosing the best point of view and
filing the tripod firmly.
The focussing was again a matter
for the nicest Judgment Then he set
the shutter lightly across the road and
fastened the string's end to s little
bush In such a way that the pressure
of the wheel across It would set the
shutter off without parrtng the cam
era. Then he gave a few touches to his
hair, mounted his Wheel and took a
short run through tbe trees, coming
back and passing neatly across the
string. He bad scowled at the cam
era! -
"I'll try again," said Bradford, set
ting the shutter and putting in an
other plnte. "I'll keep my mind on
her, and then I won't worry about the
shutter so much." . .
He thought of her aa he wheeled
off to take another start, and In think-'
Ing he leaned forward and passed the
brown string at a scorching gait "And
she hates scoring," he murmured, dls
couragedly. He set tha-camera once more. "It's
the last time I can t-y to-day," h
mused, glancing at the long shadows
and the fading sky. "I'll take a Good
long run and come back easily in a
graceful position with my face neither
turned to the lens nor quite away
from It and I won't do any thinking,
and in thut way I may get a telling
ohot." But as Bradford came along
ho saw a little basket phaeton In
front of him pass slowly across the
brown string In the roadway and dis
appear among the ahadows of the
woods. And Bradford spoke about It
feelingly.
"I'll Just see what I've got," he re
marked to the man as he went into
the dark room after, dinner, "because
I promised one to a friend, but a car
riage came along and spoiled nay only
good chance. Say, you want to come
In with me? Well." And he and an
Idler entered the stuffy little closet
"They're juat as I expected," he con
tinued, as the first two exposures
came up swiftly out of the mysterious
fog.- . . .
"The first has a beastly expression.
you'll see, snd the second Is John Oil
pin's ride to Ware. The third Is a
little slower In coming because the
light got so thin, and I don't care
about It anyway. It's a wonder that
horse cleared the string. He might
hare tangled the, string about hla foot
and brought the camera down smssh.
People oughtn't to go driving careless
ly like that along an unfrequented
road. -
"Ah, here It comes! Gsd, but It's
to be a pretty negative? As soft as
velvet; focus was, a little too sharp on
those others;' and here they've had
the brass to come along and take my
plate. It'a a man and a girl, of
course."
The dlodaln Increased rn Bradford's
tone. "I might have known It waa a
man and a girl. He's got hi .-arm
around her, too. Bah! Gad! . I be
lieve he'a kissing ber." Bradford
smote the table In delight "If It's
only someone round here, won't It be
a treasure! Yes; I'll take It out lit
my hypo In a minute. Juat pour th
developer back Into the big bottle on
your left that's It"
The sound of the bath, poured from
the tray Into the graduate, and from
the graduate Into the bottle, waa the
only sound In the dark room, except
tbe little drip of bypo Into the tray as
Bradford finally lifted the plate full to
the red light It was a beautiful pic

He gazed at It an Instant and then
aa be recognized the girl's features,

clamation of dismay, spilling develop
er over his flannels as he turned
"What a pity," said the Idler, "and you
hadn't found out who they were! Well,

you promised anyhow."
"That'a so; I have my pictures,"
