to the princess. K i n g Rudolf had re­ceived h i m w i t h the u tmos t f r iendship and was, for reasons of s ta te then of great moment , but now of vanished in­terest, as eager for the ma tch as was the k ing of Glot tenberg himself, a n d he grew very impa t i en t wi th h is sister when she hes i ta ted to accept L u d w i g ' s hand, a l leging t h a t she fel t for h i m no more than a k indly esteem, and, w h a t was as much to the. p^rpose^ t h a t he felt n o more for her , for, a l though the pr ince possessed most courteous and w i n n i n g m a n n e r s and was very accom­plished both in learn ing and in exer­cises, yet he -was a grave, and pensive young man, r a t h e r s ta te ly than jovial , and seemed in the. pr incess ' eyes (accus­tomed as they were to catch and check ardent glance?) to perform his wooing more as a du ty of h i s stat ion than on the impulse, of any passion. F i n d i n g in herself also no such sweet ashamed emotions as had before now crossed her hear t on account of lesser men, she grew grave and troubled, and she said to the k ing:

"Bro ther , is t h i s love? f o r I had as lief ho were away as here, and when he is here and kisses m y hand as though i t were a s ta tue ' s hand, and—I feel as though i t were. They say you kflow wha t love is. Is th is love?"

" T h e r e are many forms of l ove , " smiled the king. " T h i s is such lovo as a pr iuce and a princess m a y most prop­erly f ee l . "

" I do no t cal l i t love, a t all, " s a i d Osra w i t h a pout.

When P r ince L n d w i g came nex t day to see he r and told he r w i t h grave cour­tesy tha t h is pleasure lay in doing her wi l l , she broke o u t :

" I h a d r a t h e r i t l ay in w a t c h i n g m y face , " and then, ashamed, she turned away from h im.

He seemed gr ieved and h u r t at her words, and i t was w i t h a sigh tha t he said, " M y life shal l be given to g iv ing you j o y . "

Sho tu rned round on h im w i t h flush­ed cheek and t rembl ing lips.

"Yes , b u t I had ra the r i t were spent in ge t t ing j o y from me. "

Ho cast down h i s eyes for a moment and then, t ak ing her hand, kissed it, hut sho d rew i t a w a y sharply, and so t h a t afternoon they par ted, ho hack to his palace, she to her chamber, where she sat asking again, " I s th is love?" and crying, " H e does not know love , " and paus ing now and again before her mi r ro r to ask her p ic tured face w h y i t wou ld no t unlock t he door of lovo.

On another day sho would bo merry or feign mer r imen t , r a l ly ing h im on his somber air and formal compliments , professing t h a t for her par t sho soon grew weary of such wooing and loved to bo easy and merry, for thus she hoped to s t ing him, so t h a t ho would ei ther disclose more w a r m t h or forsake al to­gether h i s pursui ts . B u t h e m a d e m a n y apologies, b laming na tu re t h a t had made h im grave, b u t assur ing her of his deep affection and respect.

"Affect ion and respect !" m u r m u r e d Osra, w i t h a l i t t l e toss of her head. " O h , tha t I had no t been born a pr in­cess!" And yet, though she did not love h im, she- thought h i m a very uohle gen­t l eman and trusted to his honor and sinceri ty in everything. Therefore w h e n ho st i l l persisted and Rudolf and thu queen urged her, te l l ing her {the k ing mockingly, the queen w i t h a touch of sadness) tha t the roust not look to find in this world such love as romant ic g i r l s dreamed of, a t las t sho yielded, and she told her brother t h a t she would mar ry Pr ince Ludwig , ye t for a l i t t l e wh i l e sho would no t have the news pro­claimed. So Rudolf went , alone and privately, to the Whi te palace and said to L n d w i g :

"Cousin , yon have won the fairest ladj- in the world. Behold, her brother says i t ! "

Pr ince L n d w i g bowed low, and tak­ing the k ing ' s hand pressed it, t hank ing h im for his help and approval and ex-presbing himself as most grateful for the boon of the princess ' favor.

" A n d wi l l you not come w i t h me and find h e r ? " cried t he k ing , w i t h a merry look.

" I have u rgen t business n o w , " an­swered Ludwig . ' 'Beg the princess to forgive me. This afternoon I w i l l crave the honor of wa i t i ng on her w i t h m y humble g r a t i t u d e . "

K i n g Rudolf looked a t h im, a smile cur l ing on his lips, and he said in one of his gusts of imxiatience:

" B y heaven, is there another m a n in the world who would talk of gra t i tudo aud business and tho afternoon w h e n Osra of Strelsau sat wa i t ing for h i m ? "

" I mean no discour tesy ," protested Ludwig , taking the k ing ' s arm and g lanc ing a t h im v u t h mos t fr iendly eyes. " Indeed , dear friend, I am re­joiced and honored. Bnt this business of m i n e w i l l no t w a i t . "

So the king, f rowning and grum­bl ing aud laughing , wen t back alone a n d told the princess tha t the happy wooer w a s mos t grateful and would come after h i s business was transacted t h a t afternoon. B u t Osra, having giveti ber hand , -would now admi t no ia t i l t in tho m a n she had chosen, and thanked the k i n g for tho message wi th great dig­ni ty. Then tho k i n g came to her, and, s i t t ing clown by her, stroked her hair . Haying softly:

" Y o u havo h a d m a n y lovers. Sister Osra, and now comes a h u s b a n d . "

"Yes , now a h u s b a n d , " she m u r m u r ­ed, ca tching swif t ly a t h i s hand , and her voice w a s half caugh t in a sudden sob.

At this moment thousands of men are standing at the cross-roads of life. Death in the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes them to take one toad, while health and happiness in the form of wife and babies coax them, to take the other. For the sake of a few added dollars will they continue to over-work and neglect the commonest pre­cautions for the preservation of health, or will they listen to love and reason and draw back before it i s too late? A man may do almost any amount of good, hard work if he will take care of his health and when he feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.

" I am f r i gh t ened , " she whispered. " S h o u l d I be fright*nod if I loved h i m ? "

" I have been told s o , " said the king, srniliiig again. " B u t the fear has a w a y of being mastered t h e n . " And he drew h< r t<i him and gave her a hear ty broth­er ' s kiss, u l l i n g her to take heart . " Y o u ' l l thaw (he fellow o u t , " said the king , " t h o u g h 1 g r a n t you he is icy e n o u g h , " fer the k ing himself had been by no means w h a t he called an icy man .

Bnt Osra v. as not satisfied and sought to assuage the pain of her hear t by adorn ing herself most carefully for the pr ince 's coming, hoping to fire h im to love, for she thought t h a t if he loved she might , a l though since he did not she oquld not. And surely he did not, or al l the tales of love were false. Thus she came to receive h im very magnifi­cently arrayed. There was a flush on her cheek and an uncer ta in , expectant, fearful look in he r eyes, and thus she stood before him as he fell on his knee and kissed her hand. Then he rose and declared his thanks and promised his devotion, bu t iis he spoke the flush faded, and the l igh t died from her eyes, and j when a t last he drew near to he r and offered to kiss her cheek her eyes were dead aud her face pale aud cold as she-suffered him to touch it. He was con­ten t to touch i t bu t once and seemed no t to know how cold i t was, and so, after m6re ta lk of h is fa ther ' s pleasure and his pr ide, he took his leave, prom­ising to come again the nex t day. She r a n to the window when the door was closed on h im, and thence watched h i m moun t h i s horse and r ide away slowly, w i t h h i s head bent and his eyes down­cast, ye t he was a noblo gent leman, s ta te ly and handsome, k ind and truo. The tears camo suddenly into her eyes and blurred her s ight as she leaned wa tch ing from behind the h a n g i n g cur­ta ins of the window. Though she dash­ed them angr i ly away, they came again and r a n down her pale, cold cheeks, mourn ing tho golden vision t h a t seem­ed gone w i t h o u t fulfillment.

T h a t evening there came a gen t l eman from the Pr inco of Grlottcnberg, carry­ing most humblo excuses from his mas­ter, who, so he said, was prevented from wait ing-"on tho princess t h e n e s t day by a very u rgen t affair t h a t took h im from Strelsau and would keep h im absent from the ci ty al l day long, and the gen t leman delivered to Osra a le t ter from the prince, full of graceful and profound apologies, and p lead ing an en­gagement t h a t his honor would not let h im break, for no th ing short of tha t , said he, should have kept h im from her side. There followed some lover 's phrases, scant i ly worded and frigid in an assumed passion. B u t Osra smiled graciously and sent back a message, readi ly accepting al l t h a t the pr ince urged in excuse, and she told w h a t had passed to the k ing w i t h her head high in tho a i r and a careless haught iness , so t h a t even the k ing did not ra l ly her nor ye t venture to comfort her, but urgod her to spend the day in r id ing w i t h t he queen and h im, for they were sot t ing ou t for Zenda, where the k ing was to h u n t in the forest, and she could r ide some pa r t of the way wi th thern and re tu rn in tho evening. And she, wish ing tha t she had sent first to the prince to bid him not come, agreed to go w i t h her brother. I t was het ter far to go than to wa i t a t home for a lover who would not coiuo.

Thus the next morning they rode out, the k ing and queen w i t h the i r ret inue, tho princess a t tended by one of her guard, named Chris t ian l'Lmlz, who was great ly at tached (o her and mo.^t jealous in praise and admira t ion of her. This fellow had taken on himself to be very angry w i t h Pr ince L u d w i g ' s cold­ness, but dared say nothing of it, yel, impelled by his anger, he had set him­self to watch the prince very closely, and thus he had, as he conceived, dis­covered something tha t b rought a twin­kle into his eye anel a t r i umphan t smile to his lips as he rode behind the prin­cess. Some. 15 miles she accompanied h im and her brother, and then, tu rn ing w i t h Chr is t ian , took another road back to the city. Alone she rode, her mind full of sad thoughts , wh i l e Chris t ian behind s t i l l wore h i s mal ic ious smile. Bu t presently, a l though sho had not commanded him, he quickened his pace and came u p to her side, re ly ing on the favor which she a lways showed him for excuse.

" W e l l . C h r i s t i a n , " said she, " h a v e yon something to say to m e ? "

For answer he pointed to a smal l house tha t stood among the. trees some w a y from the road, and ho said:

'"If I were L u d w i g and not Chris­t ian, ye t I would be here where Chris­t ian is and not there , where Ludwig i s , " and ho pointed s t i l l a t the houso.

She faced round on h im in anger a t bis dar ing to speak to her of the prince, but he was a bold fellow and would not be silenced now t h a t he had begun to speak. Ho knew also t h a t sho wou ld bear much from him. So he leaned over toward her, saying:

" B y your bounty, madamc, I have money, and he w h o has money can get knowledge. So I know t h a t the prince is there. F o r £50 I gained a servant of his, aud he told m e . ' '

" I do not know w h y you should spy on t he p r i n c e , " said Osra, " a n d I do not care to know where the prince i s , " and she touched her horse wi th the spur, and ho cantered fast forward, leaving the l i t t l e houso behind. B u t Chr is t ian persisted, par t ly in a foolish grudgo against any m a n w h o should w i n w h a t was above his reach, pa r t ly in an honest anger tha t she, whom he worshiped, should bo treated l ight ly by another , a n d he forced he r to hear What he had learned from the gossip of the pr ince 's groom, te l l ing i t to her in h in t s and half spoken sentences, ye t so p la in ­ly t h a t she could not miss tho drif t of it . She rode the faster toward Strelsan, a t first answer ing nothing, bu t a t las t i he turned upon h im fiercely, saying t h a t he told a l ie, and t h a t she knew i t was a lie, since she knew where tho pr ince was aud w h a t business had taken h i m away, and she commanded Chris­t i an to be s i lent and to speak ne i the r to be r nor to any one else of h i s false sus­picions, and she bade h im very harshly to fal l back and rido behind her again, wh ich h e did, sullen, ye t satisfied," for he knew t h a t h is arrow bad gone home. On she rode, w i t h her cheeks aflame and her h e a r t beat ing, un t i l she came to Strelsau, aud hav ing arr ived a t the pal­ace r an to her own bedroom and flung herself on t he bed.

Here for an hour she lay ; then, i t be­ing about 6 o'clock, she sa t np , push ing her disordered h a i r back from he r hot, a ch ing brow, for a n agony of humi l i a ­t ion came upon her and a fury of re­sen tmen t aga ins t the pr ince , whose coldness seemed h o w to need h o inoro explanat ion. Ye t she could ha rd ly be­lieve w h a t she had been told of h i m , for though she bad no t loved h i m she b a d accorded to h i m her full t r u s t Ris ­ing , she paced in pain about t h e room-She could no t re**, and sho cried ou t i n longing t h a t her brother were there to aid he r and find ou t the t ru th for her. B u t bo was away, and sho bad none t o -whom she cou ld tu rn . So she strovo to mas te r ber anger and endure her sus-peuse t i l l the nex t day, b u t they were too s t rong t o t ber , and. abe cr ied; ' T w i l l go myaelf.

"Well, Chrlst'uin," said she, "have ymi something to f-uy to mc?"

leaving her to prepare herself, b e s o u g h t Chr is t ian H a n t z and charged h im to br ing three horses to tbe most private gate of the palace, tha t opened in a lit­t le bystreet. Here Chris t ian wai ted for them wi th the horses, aud they came presently, the bishop wear ing a grea t slouched h a t and swagger ing l ike a roist­er ing trooper, whi le Osra was closely veiled. The bishop again imposed secre­cy on Chr is t ian , aud then they both, be­ing mounted, said to Osra, " I f you wil l , then , madame , come, " a n d thus they rode secretly out of the city about 7 o'clock in the evening, the gate ward­ens opening the ga te a t sight; of royal a rms on Osra 's r ing , which she gave to the bishop in order t h a t he m i g h t show it.

In silence they rode a long way , go­ing a t n great speed. 'Osra ' s face was set and r igid, for sho felt now no shame a t herself for going or any fear of w h a t she m i g h t find, bu t the injury to her | , r ide swallowed every other feeling, a n d a t last she said in short, sharp

words to the bishop of Modenstein, hav ing suddenly thrown the veil back from her face:

" H e shal l not l ive if i t prove t r u e . " Tbe bishop shook bis head. His pro­

fession was peace, ye t h is blood also was hot agains t the man who had pu t a s l ight on Princess Osra.

" T h e k ing mus t know of i t , " he said. " T h e k ing ! The k ing is ne t here to­

n i g h t , " said Osra, and sho pricked her horse and set h i m at a gal lop. The moon, breaking suddenly in br ightness from behind a cloud, showed the bishop her face. Then she pu t out her hand and caugh t h im by the arm, whisper­ing, " A r e you my f r iend?"

" Y e s , m a d a m e , " said he. She knew we l l t h a t be was her friend.

" K i l l h im for me, then 1 Ki l l h im for­m e ! "

" I cannot k i l l h i m , " said the.bishop. " I p ray God i t m a y prove u n t r u e . "

" Y o u aro not m y friend if you wi l l uot k i l l h i m , ' ' said Osra, and she turn­ed her face away and rode ye t more quickly.

A t las t t hey came in s ight of the l i t­t le house t h a t stood back from tho road, and there was a l igh t in one of the up­per windows. The bishop heard a short gasp break from Osra 's lips, and she pointed w i t h ber w h i p to the window. Now his own breath came quick and fast, and he prayed to God t h a t he m i g h t remember h is sacred character and h i s vows, and not bo led in to grea t and deadly s in a t tho b idd ing of t h a t proud, b i t te r face, and ho clinched his left hand and struck his forehead w i t h it .

Thus when they came to the ga te of the avenue of trees t h a t led to the house. Here , hav ing dismounted and tied the i r horses to the gatepost they stood an in­stant , and Osra again veiled her face.

" L e t mo go alone, u i a d a m o , " h e im­plored.

" G i v e mo your sword, and I w i l l go a l o n e , " she answered.

" H e r e , then, is the p a t h , " s a i d the bishop, and he led tho w a y by the moon­l i gh t t h a t broko fitfully here and there th rough tbe trees.

" H e swore tha t al l h i s life should be rn ino , " she whispered. " Y e t I knew t h a t he did no t lovo m o . "

The bishop made her no answer. She looked for none and did not know that-sho spoke the bit terness of her hea r t in words t h a t ho could hoar. He bowed his head and prayed aga in for her and for himself, for he had found his hand gr ipp ing tho h i l t of h i s sword. Aud thus, side by side now, they came to the door of the house aud saw a gentle­m a n s tand ing in front of the door, sti l l , but watchful . And Osra knew t h a t he was the pr ince ' s chamber la in .

When the chamber la in saw them, he s tar ted violent ly and clapped a hand to his sword, but Osra flung her veil on tbe ground, a n d the bishop gripped h i s a rm as w i t h a vise. The chamber la in looked a t Osra and a t the bishop and half drew his sword.

" T h i s m a t t e r is too grea t for you, s i r , " said the bishop. " I t is a quarre l of princes. S tand as ide !" A n d before t he chamber la in a m i d make up his mind w h a t to do Osra had passed by h i m , and the bishop had followed her."

NEED HARD ROADS.

H o w a JDittlo T h a w Affects t h e D i r t Hif; l i-ways of C e n t r a l I l l i n o i s .

The correspondent of a St. Louis pa­per, wr i t i ng from Bloomingrun, I l l s . , says : " T h e roads of central I l l inois •are pract ical ly bottomless cpaagmires, and their condition has pu t an embargo on t rade and business of a l lkfuds . They h'ave not been in such u t te r ly impassa­ble condition in 20 years before. In places i t is impossible to move an emp­ty wagon w i t h a team of horses. F a r m ­ers who come to town come on horse­back or on foot. This condition of th ings has been brought about by the high tempera ture of tho past week, together w i t h the showers and continuously fog laden atmosphere. The net resul t of this condition of th ings is very marked, as there is depressing stagnation in mer ­cant i le business of a l l k i n d s . "

If such a s ta te of affairs is no t a suffi­cient ly forceful a rgument for better roads, a l l other appeals would be useless.

The condition of tbe road should not depend whol ly on the weather . I t is l iable to r a in mos t any t ime.

The Same Old System. We a l l of us know how l i t t l e enter­

prise there is usual ly in the country dis­t r ic ts in the way of improving the h igh­ways , ye t there is n o more impor t an t under t ak ing for the welfare of the fa rm­er and of the rura l neighborhood than first class roads, bu t these roads certain­ly wi l l never be bui l t unless i t is dono by some higher au thor i ty than the vi l ­lage or town officials. In hard ly one case out of 50 w i l l a town itself in i t i a te any enl ightened move in the w a y of improv­ing the publ ic h ighways in a first class manner . In near ly every ru r a l town i n the s ta te the old system of p lowing up the d i r t a t the side and seraping^it in the midd le of tho road and occasionally th rowing out a few stones is the only system our ru ra l roadm asters seem to unde r s t and .—Hunt ing ton Long Islander.

S e x u a r k s on Xloadnmkln , ; .

I advocate the broad tire', t rackless wagon and a road incl ined one way. Scrapo i t up in good condit ion dur­ing tho spr ing and l ight ly skim i t once or twice dur ing the summer , and 85 per cent of the roadmaking is ac­complished.

If you make a stone road, m a k e i t genuine macadam and finish up the top entirely w i t h broken stone and no binding ma te r i a l of any n a m e or na tu re except the smal l pieces of broken stone.

If you .make a d i r t road, don ' t have any stone in i t ; t he d i r t road w i t h stone in i t i s a nuisance.

If you make a stone road, don ' t have any d i r t in i t ; the d i r t makes m u d when i t is w e t aud dust when i t is d ry .—Pres ­ident Sweet of New York.

Trees Preserve the Reads. I have noticed where the surface of

the stone roads was a pa r t of shaded avenues there was l i t t le or no disinte­gra t ing , thus emphasizing tho experience and practice of European roadbuilders t h a t macadamized roads should be set wi th shade or f rui t trees, thus employ­ing the silent 'forces of na tu re to stead­i ly furnish w h a t would requ i re consid­erable outlay on the pa r t of our free­holders, besides adding beauty to the landscape and pleasure and comfort to the t raveler .—Commissioner Budd of Hew Jersey.

Long Suffering from Headache Cured by ~ Miles' Restorative Nervine.

Snriusrfield, Mass., Juno n . - A lars.e part ot a drive ofloars in the Connecticut Kiver, containing 2S,Ono,000 feet, is on its wav to the Sound, the boom at Hblyuke. which'was relied upon to stop them" havhij, broken at: 6 o'clock this morniug. The bis; mass of loss first broke the boom at Bellows Falls on Wednesday uia;ht, was augmented at Turner's Falls by more logs, broke the boom there, passed the incomplete boom at Mount Tom, below Northampton aad reached llolyoke last night. There;, thev were held until" this morning and about -1,000,000 feet finally sav­ed. A temporary boom has been construct­ed at Spr'.ngdale, just below Holyoke, aud many will be caught there, but the greater part has already passed aud began to go by this city at 8 o'clock.

Some damage was done by the high water and swift current to materials aud machinery used iu building the new dam at Holyoke. Tho rise of the water was so sudden as to catch tho contractors unprepared. The clear­ing weather makes further damage along the valley unlikely.

The scene on the river this morning was decidedly wild with the. fiercely running cur­rent and the rush of the logs." At 9 o'clock the. water was at the 15-foot mark, having risen 3 feet 10 inches since yesterday noon, "and 2 feet since ti o'clock last eveuiug.

"Watermen and boat owners were out in force trying to catch some of the logs as they passed, but it was dangerous ^vol-k. I t was fortunate that tbe wincl drove the logs to the west side of tho river, otherwise the city's public bath house would have been carried away. As it was, it required the liveliest kind of work to prevent the stray logs which came down the eastern bank from cutting away the anchorage of the bath house and the pontoon bridge which extends to il 200 ft. from the shore.

T h e I r o n T r a d e .

The iron trade is still drifting, and the float­ing straws have a puzsling way of moving sluggishly iu different directions. There are faint sigus of a better movement in some quarters, but on the whole events have been unfavorable. The wire trade goes on at a very good pace. "We hear that "there is con­siderable activity in galvanized sheets. The merchant pipe trade is picking up a little, but on the whole the volume of business is not great enough to keep makers from wor­rying keeuly over their order books. There is what might almost be caliod a succession of raids ou the market. Wlien one mill re­tires, temporarily appeased, others take its place iu the ranks of savage price cutters.

One danger is looming up which our manu­facturers and their customers must guard against in their dealings, and that 'is the growing uneasiness or labor. The unparal­leled prices at which products are now selling have forced many to take the leadership in reducing wages. Others must follow in self-protection unless business improves very soon. With the approach of summer resist­ance to reductions of wages will increase and cessation of work may take place in many cases. It is believed that the bituminous coal trade in many sections of tho North and South may be the first to witness widespread strikes. That in some sections may materally influence the supply of iron and i u products, and cause troublesome delays.—Iron A</>\
