there was a romantic
about her going the rounds.
It was said that no less -a. personage
than Prince Uric; the son of the great
and morning good Gustavus, had been standing win
one by one of the pahrec
dows to witness a rustic procession,
which had been gotten up in honor of
some important victory, recently won
by his famous father; and as he stood
gazing listlessly out, his eyes brighten
ed suddenly, and ho turned to an at
tendant and whispered a few words
which caused him to hasten away.
When lie returned he was not alone—
Rika was with him.
Prince Eric's beauty-loving eyes had
been attracted by her, as she had stood
amid a group of other maidens, look
ing at the gay!.'-dressed columns of
her country men tiling by.
She, too, was in holiday attire; and
the black velvet jacket, fitting closely
to her slender figure, and adorned with
silver-gilt buttons, brought out so viv
idly the exquisite fairness of her skin
with its rose-leaf tints of red upon iipt
and checks, that she looked like a be

amid her mates.
