THE CAPTIVE PRINCESS.
Part I.
On the top oT ii very high niouu
tain stood n resile.
The guard hv the gate was ft glnnt,
aud lie had three heads.
In the castle lived a princess nil
i alone, excepting for the servants nnd
all (he servants were (leaf and dumb.
The little ftrlneess was a captive In
the castle and an old witch had car
ried her off when she was very young
umi hidden her here with this strange
company of servants and guards
around her.
All this was done becAuae the soa 1
of the old witch, who was the thfee
-1 l eaded giant at the gate, wanted to
heroine a prince am! the witch had
a. ked thn king for the hand of his
daughter when she grew up
Of course the king Indignantly re
fused. and the old witch became ao
angry that she stole the little prln
cess one day when she waa out walk
ing with her attendants and carried
,||Pn
her off to thin caxtle on top of the
mountain
On., day while the prinoees wse
looking out of the window »0e saw
a bird Tlying ground In a circle over
the castle, and by and by the prin
v<«s was surprised to see the bird
slowly circle lower and lower until it
dime so near sh,- saw a tiny hit of
tluead in Its month. This thread the
bird dropped on the slil of her wiu
THE REAL PROBLEM

end the bird flew away.
The next day the bird came again,
and agal't It dropped a thread on the
window hill and tlew away.
The third day it came, and every
day until the princess had eight
pieces of thread, and then the bird
came no more.
What could it roean% the princess
wondered, and she counted over and
over the pieces of thread, until one
day one piece caught on her linger
as s le lifted her hand to her eye to
t l)ru*U away a tear, and to her sur

Taking another piece of thread she
laid it across her eyes and found she
■could not open them until she had
touched both eyes with her finger

That night when the house was
quiet and the servants were asleep—
you remember they were deaf, so no
noise could Mw'tkcn thorn the prin
ceha got out of her bed and looked
out of her window, hut nothing was
to he seen.
She determined to try tho threats
on thoteyes of the sleeping servants,
and one by one she placed the
threads across the lids of each
Then she began to tremble, for she
thought of the three-headed giant .it
the gate and knew she could never
escape him
She went to the door of the castle
with feni and trembling.
She opened It and looked out. The
giant was sleeving on the ground be
side the gate hut as soon as the prin
cess put her foot on the top step she
Jumped trom the ground and ran to
ward the castle.
The little princess ran bnck and (lid
In a closet in the ball, and the giant
ran up the stairs taking all his ser
vants by the shoulder and trying to
arouse them, hut they all fell back
upon tho floor as though they were
dead
The giant luslievl alon- till he came
to the princess' room, and seeing her
door open he looked on, and when ho
found ner gone ho screamed out his
snger with all three mouths, which
made s sound like thunder over the
mountains.

THE FADED ROSE LEAF
“I Do Wish That When My Little Wife Wears This
Bracelet It Must Be the Only Faded Rose Leaf in Her
Happiness-- The Only Serpent in Our Paradise!” Said
Harry.
It was a fine day down in Algiers,
and the bay lay bathel in sunshine.
The young couple who were sitting
on board the steam yacht eating their
breakfast enjoyed the fine weather —
both were looking at a small boat
loaded with flowers which was ap
iroaching the yacht.
"To think that soda ft is just a
month since our wedding, HarryV
said the young lady. "Ii was lovely
of you to buy all those beautiful
flowers with which to decorate the
ship tonight. We will start to do so
£s soon as the flowers are on hoard,"'
“Oh. I think wo had better wait
till we have finished our breakfast
and read our letters," answered ter
husband laughingly.
After a little while the small boat
reached the ship and the baskets fill
ed wkii flowers -were brought on
beard Molly—it was the young
wife's name —was very enthusiastic
and found it very difficult to leave
the flowers vnd return to the br-ak
fast at hie to f.nish the meal and read
her letters.
Soon, however, both of them were
occupied rending the post. Molly
opened her letters, the tirst she had
got iioui her home since sae left it,
and Harry looked turough the i>a, ers.
"But you don t look quite happy.
my dear!" Harry said. He had been
looking at his wife for a t-me and he
added: You haven’t had bad news
I hope.”
"Oh. no," answered Molly. "But
her* is a latter from Olga, and she is
so peculiar. She writes: "1 suppose
you are very happy. Blit do tell me
what is the faded rose leaf In all this
happines-s, for there must be such a
thing. And 1 thought that there
never should come such a 'faded
rose leaf between you and me.
"No. it shall never come," answer
ed Harry—ho stooped down and kiss
ed r.er hand " There is no serpent in
our - aradise."
Soou both or them were toad ng
again. Toe servants were downstairs
and nobody noticed the small black
anake which had crept in out of one
o’, the flower baskets and now was
Ivins in the sunshine just behind
Molly's chair. In tha hot sunshine it
became quite lively—it began to
creep forward and soon It disappear
ed under tier chair.
Suddenly Molly jumped up from her
chair with a shriek. “Oh, Harry,
something bit me in my-loot', she
exclaim-<1 And as they tried to Ttn.i
out what It was they saw tile small
black snake. It hud colled around
her ankle. .
Harry gave a cry of horror, caught
hold of t.ie snake and tlung it- '“ lo
the sea. Through her thin silk stock
ings, three red spots were visible on
Molly's loot.
Harry Aatley rushed downstairs
like a mailman. 'Williams! Wil
liams!" he shouted. "You must go
ashore In the boat Immediately—do
you bear? Mrs Astley hu* been bit
ten by a snake! Get bold o! & phy
sician’ as quickly as possible!"
After ft s he took all the floware
and threw them into the water. Then
st» took poor Molly into his arms &uu
curried her downstairs where the
mold bathed her fool. It grew thicker
and thicker, hut she lid not leel any
pain in it. . .
"1 want to sit up In the Tresn air
until the p’oystclan arrhes. ntrry.
she said. Iton'l worry, dear. I dou t
think it was a very piosonous snake.
Hut the physician looked very
grave when lie came on board an
hour olterwarda.
“1 can't say an' thing definite about
It now, be *»id. after haring; looked
at the foot ury carefully But I
don’t like that you don t feel any
lain Can’t you describe to me how
the snake looked?"
Hußt Harry had thrown t sway end
he was so nervous and confused that
he could not remember anythiug
Meanwhile Molly grew worse and
worse The foot kept on swelling
and she became dixxv and stiff. The
physician stayed on the ship but
couldn’t do anything fc'ne lay qule:
in « slate of unconsciousness from
which mv.iln* could awake her. \t
six o'clock in the even ng she woke
t’P, how-ever, and asked in a low voice
tor her husband.
“Dearest," she soid, and put her
arms around his neck. "Try not to
he too s id if I—” But Harry rushed
away trom her, upstairs.
"Good (tod. Wilson, can’t you do
anything at all then?" he said in des
pair to the jgiysiclan. "Let us get
somebody else along, let us" —nis
yes fell upon the native who had
brought the flowers in the morning
who was now talking to onb of the
servants, Williams. And in his des
pair he turned towards him.
"You black rascal, do you know
(hat it is yo*.who have killed my wife
with your vlarelessness?" he cried.
"If she dies-Tou shall be thrown into
the sea."
"Mr. Harry,” said Williams —he
had known his master from the time
he was a hoy— don't make an enemy
of thia man. He is a native and
those people are sometimes very
clever in using medicine. Perhaps
he may cure your w.fe."
“God bless you. Williams, that you
thought of that.” said Astley. "But i
as you-,know his language you had!
better talk to him about It." And ■
he went downstairs to Molly.
As well as he could. Williams told |
(he native what had happened, and i
he undei stood aud asked to see the
foot so lie might be able to tell what I
sort of a snake it had been He was [
taken down to the young lady and as I
soon as he saw the spots on the foot |
he hurried away. He would fetefi i
some medicine he had. But to Wil
liams he coqflded his fear that
it would be too late.
At last—the desperate Harry |
thought it was a century since he left |
- the native returned. All he did was
to rub the spots with some kind of \
salve, but to the surprise of every
body, Molly fell soundly asleep halt
an hour later, and the swelling began
to go down. Mohomed Nani left the
vacht considerably richer than he
had hoarded It.
It was a very pale little Molly who
was sitting at the same breakfast
table a week afterwards unwrapping
a parcel which her husband "has just
given her. It contained a bracelet
shaped like a small golden snake with
glittering eyes of emeralds and on its
tongue lay a small faded rose leaf of
1)6(1 enamel.
*"Oh, how beautiful, Harry!” she
exclaimed. “Thank you so much.”
I do wish that when my little wife
wears this bracelet It must be the
only faded rose lest in her happi
ness—the only serpent in our para
dise!" said Harry.
