THE KNIGHT OF THE BLUE
FLOWEH—Part I.
Once upon a time there lived a
King who had only one child—a son
■—and before he could die in peace he
told the Prince he must see him mar
ried to the girl he had chosen for
his wife. *
“But I want to see the world before
I nettle down to married life,” said the
Prince. "Let me go away for a year
and when I return I will talk about
marrying.
So set was the Prince upon the ad
venture that he did not even ask the
name of the girl his father had chose- 1
for him to marry.
At the Palace with the Prince and
the King lived an orphan girl named
Princess Norma. Her fnther and
mother had died when she was a baby,
which left, her to the father of the
Prince to bring up. and the dearest
wish of the King's heart was that his
son should marry the Princess and
make her Queen. .
"Let him go, dear King,” said Prin
cess- Norma, trying to comfort the old
King. "A year will soon pass, and I
will be here to take care of you.”
Of course, she did not know that the
King wished the Prince to marry her;
she thought he did not wish the Prince
to run the risk of getting into danger
by roaming about the country.
So, at last, the King consented and

the Prince started off.
Just as he was leaving the castle
Princess Norma, who was really in
love with the Prince, called to him to
wait. “Will you not say farewell to me
before you go?” she asked with a
blush upon her pretty cheeks.
"mxtrmi
The Prince looked around and for
the first time he saw that Princess
Norma had very blue eyes, but his
mind was so set upon his Jouiney it
passed out of his hought in a second.
All around the castle grew the little
blue forget-me-not In abundance and
one little sprig of this pretty flower
Prince* Norma held out to the Prince.
"Take this little flower with you,” she
said. "I have dipped It in a liquid that
will preserve it as long as you wish to
keep it.
“It will remind you of your home
and friends and when you wed may
your wife have the blue of the forget
me-not in her eyes, because it is true
blue.”
The Prince laughingly accented the
flower and put it in his cap.
"Goodby, Knight of tho Blue Flow
er,” said Princess Norma as ha rode
away.
But the Prince was not thinking of
blue eyes or love; If he had been lie
would have stayed at homes and mar
ried the pretty Princess.
On and one he rode until he came to
a forest and fearing nothing, he en
tered but he had gone only a little way
when he was seized by a band of rob
bers who took away all his fine clothes
and his horse, and When, for fear he
might be found and they would be
punished, they put him in a high tower.
Here the Prince Was kept a prisoner
with only bread and water for feed un
til he lost track us time. One day he
was thinking of his home and his
father and the Princess Norma as she
looked when she gave him the little
blue flower. For the first time he
thought of the flower: he remember
ed now that the robbers had thrown
the flower In the room with him and
there It lay In the corner, still blue
and fresh as the day the Princess had
given It to him.
The Prince picked it up and held It
In his hand. As he looked st It a
shadow fell across the floor of his
prison, and, looking up, he saw a dove
sitting on the window sill. Trying not
to frighten the bird the Prince went
to the window and softly spoke to It.
for It was the first living thing ha had
seen since the day tha^robbers shut
him in the tower, his food being; put
through a trap-door in the floor with
out anyone being seen.
In his hand the Prince still held the
forget-met-not. The dove, thinking he
intended to feed it. hopped in through
the iron bars of the window and taking
the blue flower in its bill, flew away
with it over the hills. The next day
the dove came back, and again the
Prince spoke to it in soft, gentle tones,
although it had taken away from him
the only thing he had left of the past;
but as he talked to the dove he saw
about one leg a tiny thread.
Very gently the Prince reached up
and caught the bird and took off the
thread, and from the oia blue shirt
which he wore he took a tiny bit and
tied it to the leg of the dove, and away
it flew.
The next day the dove came again,
and this time tied to one leg the Prince
saw a tiny blue flower. *
Eagerly he untied the thread that
bound the flower to the little carrier.
It was a sprig of forget-me-not like
those that grew about his old home,
and again he tore a hit from his blue
shirt and tied it to the leg of the dove.

CONTENT IS tHE BEGINNING OF
DESIRE.
“You know, Margie, Dick Ims lots of
good qualities, among which is a pe
culiar kind of courage which makes
him what is coming to him.
*'l believe whatever may he his
shortcomings, ho has always loved you
and you only. Oh, don’t look incredu
lous. Didn’t you tell my once that the
woman in a man's arm was'not al
ways the woman in his heart? To a
man, Margie, marriage is no more of
a sacrament than is any other con
tract, but he does believe implicity in
the sacredneas of personal liberty—
for himself.
“Although he may never have
thought about It, in some way the
Christian idea of marriage, as it was
elaborated and its rule marie by men
who never married and who considered
marriage the least of two evils, and
the woman the devil’s special emis
sary in the moral degradation of men,
is still in his system.
“I think most men subscribe to the
tenets of Martin Luther who said that
marriage was none of the church’s
business.
“Sometimes, Margie, I think a man
does things which hurt his wife sim
ply to satisfy his Idea of the sacred
ness of personal liberty and his con
tempt for the sacredness of man-made
forms and rules.”
“Mollle,” I said, “I think you are way
off in your conclusions. If Dick and
I ever had any differences over the
sacredneas of the mTarriage vow they
were buried with poor 'Eleanor Fair
low. Since then what Dick has done
or does with that personal liberty’
which men seem to think their proud
est possession is nothing to me.”
“Then you don't love him,” said Mol
lle in a hushed voice.
"I think perhaps I care for him as
much. as most women care for their
husbands who have lived with them
as long as I have lived with Dick.
Surely you must know that marriage
becomes a matter of habit. Dick can
never hurt me again and because he
can never hurt me neither can he
thrill me with great joy. But after
all I am content. True, I sometimes
think I would again accept the hurt
thankfully if again 1 could know the
joy, but 1 expect It all comes to this -
at last we say, ‘I am content,' and we
mean by it that we have found com
parative peace.”
“Do you believe this is true of all
women, Margie?”
“Not only all women, hut all men.
Why, Mollle, f expect thut men are
just an disappointed in us as we are
in them. That is the reason they
again go hunting ’the light that was
never on land or sea.’
“No, dear Mollle, the thing that
worries me Just now is whether I shall
try to talk it all out with Dick or Just
bury the past decently and In order
and commence it all over on an en
tirely different basis.”
“J don't believe ‘confession is good
for the soul,' Margie,” Interrupted
Mollle. “Confession smacks of regret
and nothing Is so destructive as re
gret. You are always talking about
confessing to your little hook, why
don't you let It go at that? My ad
vice to you, Margie dear, is to go away
for a while with Dick, but forget be
fore you go that Dick or anyone else
has ever been In your life. You taught
me long ago that everyone’s life be
gins and closes with each day.”
“I’ll do It, Mollle,” I said, and then
as women will we began all over again
to solve the very question we thought
settled. We were Just In the midst
of It wheii the door opened and Dick
stood th it.
We both rose quickly for he seem
ed so weak vve were afraid hc would
fall. “Mr. Waverly would come,” said
the nurse. “He said he would never
get well In that bedroom of his way
at the other end of the house so I
brought him over In a wheelchair, but
he waa determined to see you first
when he waa on his feet.”
1 had run to him, little book, j while
the nurse was talking. “Lean on me,
dear,” I said.
lie threw his arms over my shoulders
and stooping brought his lean cheek
against mine. “I’m going to stay here,”
he said with his little crooked smile
turning up one corner of his mouth.
“I’m going to stay over here all the
time- I’m tired of my old place. I
hate it.”
His eyes sought mine with a kind
of doglike appeal. 1 heard a sharp In
take of breath from Mollle and 1 said,
“Well, nurse, If Mr. Waverly wishes,
I see no reason why he may not have
the room opening on mine, which Mrs.
Selw'in and I used as a sitting room.”
Dick said nothing hut pressed his
check tighter against mine and I felt
a light touch of his Ups on the tip of
my ear. •

THE RULES OF THE~GAME.
By Rev. Chat. Stelzle.
They have "studied tßfe problem of
slum-life,”
(A venture which brought them re
nown.)
Through the blood and the sweat
And the smells that they met.
Drove them balck to their homes
uptown.
They were seized with a fainting sen
sation '
As they passed us In filth without
name.
But they thought that they knew
What "the masses” pass through,
In keeping the rules of the ganfe.
Not a laugh did they hear on thelf
Journey,—
To smile had become a lost art,
But they never drew near
To help drive way a tear,
Or to cheer up a dull aching heart.
Kach soul that they met as they lin
gered.
Heemed damned to an eternal hell.
Hut the aim of our strife,
And our struggle In life,
Is always to break from our cell.
If we're judged by their rules of the
battle,
Or tried by their rules of the game,
We will ne’er win the fight
By the power of our might.
Nor be counted with those who
o'ercame.
But the Great Referee of the Contest,
Whose Judgment ne’er come with a
snap.—
For He knows the whole game,
And He knows why we're lain*
He'll give us a big handicap.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo;
If you wartt to keep your 1 hair in
good condition, be careful whit yol*
wash It with. ‘
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulslfied
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), Is much better than
tiie most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can’t possibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It In. One or two teaapoan
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanse tha hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
ly, and It leaves It fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulslfied cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It ia very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everytftie in the family for months.
