Itagle a UTOi Hearts
There were once a king and queen
who had three beautiful daughters,
and the organism of these three
princesses was remarkable for their
each being furnished with a heart
of glass.
“Children, children,” said the
queen when the princesses were still
quite small, “whatever you do, take
care of your hearts, for they are of
fragile The make.”
children therefore tried to
oe very careiui, and lT>r some time
all went well and the hearts re¬
mained unbroken.
But one day the eldest girl, who
was leaning out of the window,
looking down into the garden be¬
low, noticed a little bee which was
buzzing busily around some flowers.
The little creature interested her
so much that she leaned out far¬
ther, so as to he able to watcli it
more closely, when suddenly, smash !
Jhere came a sound of broken glass.
The young princess had crushed her
heart against the window sill, and
so, alas, the poor girl expired.
After this exceedingly sad acci¬
dent the other two sisters were still
more careful about their hearts.
Some time after the death of the
princess the second daughter very
thoughtlessly drank a cup of rather
hot colfee, and when she had it fin¬
ished something was suddenly heard
to crack, and she fell back fainting
into an armchair. The sound on
this occasion, however, was not so
loud as on the first. The queen
rushed to where the princess lay
and on examining her found, to her
great delight, that the heart was
only slightly cracked and not bro¬
ken and that her daughter was still
alive.
“What are we to do with our
daughter?” said the king to the
queen “For, although the injury
to her heart amounts only to a
cruel, at present, this may increase
to a decided fracture.”
But the princess begged them uot
to worry themselves about her.
“For you know,” said she, “it’s
the cracked pitcher that goes often-
est to the well.”
Meanwhile the youngest daughter
grew up and became a most beauti¬
ful as well as a most remarkably
clever girl, and many a handsome
and wealthy prince from distant
lands came to ask for her fair hand.
But the old king did not forget the
bitter experiences lie had had with
his two elder girls.
*T have only one daughter left
with a whole heart, and hers is also
of glass. Therefore if I give her
in marriage to any one it must b&to
a king who is at the same time a
glazier and who understands how
to treat an article so fragile, so
that in case of accidents he would
know how to rivet the cracks.”
Unfortunately none of the young
princes and nobles who had come
as suitors to the princess knew any¬
thing at ali about how to rivet bro¬
ken glass and were none of them
glaziers by profession, so they had
to return to their native lands mis-
erable and disappointed lovers.
Among the royal pages iu the pal¬
ace was one w hose term as page was

as their eyes met she blushed. When

unfortunate youth was unable to

sequence.
The third time when the young
fellow bore the princess’ train the
king came forward to meet them
half way and dismissed the page,
saying:

walked away, while the princess
bent forward to where the page
stood and said:
“Yon carried my train so beauti¬
fully, better than any one else, Oh,
why are you not a king and a gla¬
zier V’
The unfortunate young man felt
so that confused as well as delighted
he was unable to utter a word
in reply. He managed, however,
to make a very graceful and polite
bow. When the princess had left
him, he ran as hard as ever he could
to the nearest glazier and asked
him whether he was in need of a
foreman.
“Yes,” replied the other, “but you
will have to work four years with
me before you can be foreman. At
first you must be a sort of errand
hoy and go to the baker’s to fetch
me my bread and also to look after
my children, wash them and dress
them; secondly, you must learn to
putty the cracks; thirdly, you will
have to learn how to cut the glass
and fix in windows, and after that,
in the fourth year, you shalf be my
foreman.”
The page thought this would take
rather too long, so he asked the
glazier whether he could not possi¬
bly begin with cutting the glass
and fixing windows and leave out
the rest so as to get on quicker. But
the glazier shook his head and as¬
sured the young fellow that every
good glazier had to begin his career
from the beginning or he could nev¬
er be clever. So the page was
obliged to reconcile himself to his
fate.
The whole of the first year the
unfortunate young courtier spent
his time in running to the baker’s
for bread for his master and in
washing and dressing the children,
In the second year he did nothing
but stop cracks with putty. In the
third year he learned how to cut
glass and fix windows, and at last,
at the commencement of the fourth
year, he was made foreman.
After having been foreman for a
whole year he took leave of his mas-
ter. and, dressing himself up once
more in court dress, he walked
along the roads it) deep thought,
wondering how he could possibly
become a king. As he was walking

‘'well, i don t it have
exactly lost any ut ci an y
rate I cannot find what I want.”
“And what is that?”
“A kingdom. 1 am wondering
how on earth 1 can become a king.”
“Well, if you had been a glazier,”
said the stranger, “I might have
helped yon.”
“That is just exactly what 1 am!”
exclaimed the other “I have only
lately been foreman to a glazier.”
“Then you have nothing to fear.
You are no doubt aware that our
king decided some time ago to give
his youngest daughter in marriage
to a glazier who was to be at the
same time a king or at any rate a
prince; hut as they have been un¬
su ^ essfu! ending such a person
th C king inis been reluctantly
obliged to modi y his demands by
adding two other conditions. The
bridegroom must in any case he a
glazier; that, of eourso, goes with¬
out saying.”
“But what are the two condi¬
tions?” asked the young courtier
excitedly.
- “The first condition is that he
should please the princess, and the
second is that he should he a noble¬
man bv birth. There have already
been a great number of glaziers ap¬
plying at the palace, but not one of
them took the piiucess’ fancy, and
all of them had coarse, rough hands
like those of the commonest gla-
zier.
When our young courtier heard
these words, lie jumped three times
about a yard above the road for
very joy and thou, l truing a round,
ran belter skelter back to the town
and presented himself at the palace
in less than no time.
The king at once ordered the
princess to be called, and when she
arrived he asked her whether this
young gla . ,v look her fancy,
The princess glanced at the young
man, and, recognizing him, at once,
she blushed and said, “Oh, yes.”
The king ordered the young fel¬
low io take J off his gloves and show
his hand-, so that they might know
whether he was of noble birth. Flow-
ever, the princes said that it was
quite uni C( ry for the young
man to do' *nvthing of the kind, as
she felt j ^rfeeth certain that there
was no doubt whatever of liis being
of noble I rtis and that his hands,
she was sure, would be as white as
those of a prince.
So they were married, and as the
young pru cess ? husband was a gla-
zier by professipn as well as a no-
bleman by birth lie understood how
to treat a heart so delicate and frag-
ile as hei : therefore she lived bliss-
fully to the end of her days without
any accident happening.

had been set for stray prowlers.
Some were placed along paths which
were used by coons and foxes un-
der ti e overhanging cliffs. Others
were cleverly hidden in the edge of
the water for muskrats and mink.
Next morning as 1 passed along
one of the paths I saw how a cap¬
tured animal had shown his hrav-
ery, for in a trap in the watei; were
a foot and part of a leg of a large
muskrat. What courage it must
have taken to deliberately gnaw off
his foot and leg!
At first I thought that perhaps
the trap had broken the hone and
the animal had simply cut the flesh
and tendons away, but on close in-
spection I saw that the hone had
not been broken. 1 could shut my
eyes and almost see the frightened
little animal work and pull at the
steel chain as the cool stars winked
and blinked.
All night long probably he had
worked about the place where the
short chain was fastened, but it
held fast. As the gray of the day
showed faint in the east he knew he
must do something desperate, so he
went to work on his own flesh and
bone. Can one think of anything
more courageous than slowly cut¬
ting through one’s o\yn flesh with
liberty the reward for the pain?
Then, when the hard bone is
reached and the animal is weak and
spent with suffering, think what
courage it must have taken for the
final work!—Turf, Field and Farm.
A Night In a Haunted Room.
A contemporary tells a very
amusing story of a well known man
about town who was recently spend¬
ing a week end in the country. The
house being full, he was offeied the

ghosts quite contentedly. But at
breakfast next morning he was fain
to confess that the spirits had
shamefully misused him by remov¬

him uncovered at 2 a. in. But, most
peculiar of all, the blankets had
really vanished into thin air. Pres¬

* ZAP'S SLOW FEVER.
“Sunday Morning" Simpson and How
He Cat Nickname.
Few old New England towns are
without their traditions of eccen¬
tric characters, whose renown often
remains locally fresh for genera¬
tions. One such oddity was Zaptieh
Simpson, of whom it used to be
said even before he earned his nick¬
name that if Zap Simpson liked to
do anything it was nothing, and if
p e } iac i an y strong feelings about
anything it was that he trongly ob-
j ec f e( ] to having his feelings stirred
up.
When Zaptieh was in the prime
of life he had a fever—a slow fever.
It was so very slow that at last the
old family physician became skep¬
tical and made up his mind that
there had long ceased to he any¬
thing the matter with his patient
except that he was too lazy to admit
he was well.
“l call you well now,” said Dr.
Pedbury, “but I'll let you laze in
bed three more days if you want to.
This is Wednesday. 1 give you fair
warning, Zaptieh, you’ll be down-
stairs on tlie sofa Sunday morning
and ^ ara}l Maria off to church the
first time in nine weeks. On Sun-
day morning, sir!”
The next night the house caught

fighting, with the help of half the
village, to extinguish the flames,
At the first alarm Zaptieh’s daugh¬
ter Sally ran to his room to help
him dress and escape from the burn¬
ing house, of which the ell where he
lay had not yet caught, but was ob-
viously J endangered. ° He refused to
