A Royal Change
of Mind
By ARTHUR \V. BREWSTER
'v
The kiug of Aurania bad asked the
king of Wortenberg for the hand of
the letter's oldest daughter, Anialia,
for the former's son. Prince Carl. The
matter having been satisfactorily ar
ranged so far as diplomacy was con
cerned, the prince set out for the capi
tal of Aurania to make the acquaint
ance of his Qancee. Being averse to
display of any kind, he traveled in
cognito and arrived at the palace with
out being heralded.
Passing along a corridor 011 his way
to his room, be met a young girl who
from her costume might have been
a governess, a' reader or have occu
pied any of the lesser duties of one
belonging to the palace. Never had
the prince seen a woman who so com
pletely struck his fancy. Princes need
to be more careful of their doings In
some respects, but may take greater
liberties in others. Prince Carl pur
posely stumbled and. falling toward
the girl, ki«sed her.
She passed on without making any
protest, though tier cheeks turned crim
son. The prince as soon as his atten
tion could be diverted from her saw
a man standing at the other end of the
corridor, looking at him with fire In
his eye. Carl took no notice of this
person, but entered the suit of apart
ments that had been nssigned htm.
The royal family and guests met for
dinner, and Prince Carl was then for
mally welcomed and Introduced to his
fiancee, the Princess Amalia. He was
also introduced to her younger sister,
the Princess i.onise, and was aston
ished to recognize in her the girl whom
he had kissed in the corridor. A third
introduction was to I>anilo, crown
prince of Kndlmia. who he was told
was a suitor for the hand of I.onise.
ile was the man who had witnessed
the kiss.
Neither Louise nor Danlio made
the sllghest reference to Prince Carl's
trausgvessicn, nor Old they ever show
by their manner that they were con
scious of it. This was not a matter
of surprise to Carl, who was used to
conrfc ceremonial and the treatment of
enemies with a studied politeness. Rut
he knew well that he would have to
answer for his bold net IIow he would
be punished he did not kuow. but since
that was an age when men fought per
sonal combats he expected a challenge.
The only person whose manner was
not satisfactory to Prince Carl was the
Princess Amalia. She treated him with
such scrupulous politeness that it was
evident she had been informed of his
transgression. The day after his ar
rival the king, her father, sent his
prime minister to say that since the
marriage with the Princess Amalia
had been arranged political compli
tions had arisen that would render the
match undesirable.
Upon receiving this Information
Prince Carl made preparations to leave
the capital. On the evening before his
departure an officer of the household
guards called upon him to ask satis
faction on the part of Prince Panllo
for an iusult offered the Princess Lou
ise. Carl referred him to a friend, and
it was arranged that a meeting should
take place the next mowing at sun
rise in an open space surrounded by
trees in the royal park.
On the evening of his arrival Prince
Carl had sent a courier back to his
father, the king of Aurania, to say
that the match with the Princess
Amalia was impossible and to send
posthaste a request for the hand of
the Princess Louise. The reply to
this, a formal demand for the hand
of the younger princess, was bauded
the king of Wortenberg at the same
time that Carl received Danllo's chal
lenge. The king, knowing of Carl's
expected departure the next day, at
once called a family conclave to de
cide upon whether t<T*give the prince
encouragement to remain or to permit
him to depart After discussing the
matter before arriving at a decision
the Princess Louise was called in and
the case stated-to her. Should the af
fair with Danilo, which was being
considered by the council of state, be
allowed to go through, or should It be
broken off and consideration be given
to the demand of the king of Aura
nia?
"I will not marry Prince Danilo,"
she said. "And if Prince CarJ pro
poses to me I will marry him, no mat
ter what action the council may take."
Now, the princess was a young wo
man of considerable firmness. She
laid out duties for herself to perform
daily, and it was in working costume
that Carl had mistaken her identity.
Her father well knew that when she
took a position all the king's horses
and all the kind's men couldn't make
her change it. Without waiting to
hear what he had to say further she
went to her apartments for considera
tion. for she had got wind of the duel
to take place in the morning and
wished to prevent it. The result of
her deliberation was a note to Danilo
saying that though she had been high
ly honored by hl3 proposition, she
would decline it
This was tantamount to an order for
him to withdraw his challenge, for, ex
cept for being considered an appli
cant for her band, he was not called
upon to protect her. Carl went to the
grounds in the ruorrlng, where he re
ceived the withdrawal of the chal
lenge.
And this is how a prince of the
blood went courting a princess and
married her sister.
A THIEVING
MYSTERY
By EDITH V. ROSS
"Mr. Murtaugh," suid Andrews, chief
officer of the postofflce detective bu
reau, "more thievery has been going
ou at Trlmminghnm. This is the
fourth time stamps have been missed
In that quarter, and 1 wish you to go
there and get on to the thief."
"I've been there twice already," re
plied Murtaugh, "without finding any
thing wrong. The people of the town
nil have the most perfect confidence In
Miss Griggs, the postmistress, and her
only clerk is her younger sister, aged
sixteen. ' Miss Griggs has appeared to
be as much puzzled as any one as to
what becomes of the missing stamps."
"I'm afraid, Murtaugh, you're too
gallant to spy on n woman."
There was a hidden meaning In the
words, for Andrews was not above
spying on the members of his force
and had learned that Detective Mur
taugh, who had been several times to
Trlmmlngham to ferret out the source
of the trouble, had been making love
to the postmistress. Indeed, he would
have sent some oue else this time, but
he suspected Murtaugh of shielding
Miss Griggs, and if he was doing this
he was recreant to his duties as a
postofflce olilcial Murtaugh made no
reply to Andrews' lust remark, and
the latter added:
"Well, try it once more. If you don't
get ou to the thief this time I'll try
some one else."
This was spoken iu a tone to give
Murtaugh a warning. He was one of
the best men on the force, and An
drews didn't wish him to get into
trouble by shielding a thief.
Murtaugh had thoroughly convinced
himself of Miss Griggs' honesty, and
her sterling worth was apparent to
every one. He knew it would be folly
for him to spy on her, and, acting on
his own Judgment, be went openly to
Trimmlngham and told her that be
had come to help her find who was
stealing her stamps.
The postofflce was a little one story
frame building, all of which was occu
pied for mail purposes. One night
Murtaugh stole unobserved Into the
postofflce, climbed up under the roof
and. bored a peep hole in the celling
th&ugh which he could look down Into
the postofflce. A few stamps had
been left In the postmistress' desk.
The detective kept awake all nigbt.
but heard not the slightest sound be
low. saw 110 light—indeed, no sign of
any one coming to steal stamps. But
-in tbe morning the stamps left in the
desk were gone.
Since the thievery was perpetrated
at night there was no need to watch
In tbe daytime. Indeed, no stamps
bad ever been missed in the day. They
were counted In tbe morning and at'
night. IIow the thief managed to
get into the house after dark without
being detected Murtaugh could not
conceive.
When sure that no one was near to
see him he examined every part of
the little building, especially the cellar,
for a subterranean passage, but could
find 110 passable Ingress. That Miss
Griggs or her sister could so far out
wit him as to get into the house while
he was there without his knowing it
he felt sure was impossible. The
stealing must be committed by some
one else—some one who managed to
conceal himself or herself in the build
ing. This person must be able to work
quite noiselessly. Wlietlier the exit
was made In the daytime or not was
like nil the rest of It—unknown. In
deed. Murtaugh could not find any
possible way any one could got Into
the building unless by going down the
chimney, and to do this without be
ing beard would be very difficult
During tbe time of his operations his
love affair with Miss Griggs was being
brought to a head, and when he re
turned to his chief the only thing he
had to report was that he was engaged
to the person whom he had been sent
to spy on. This he kept to himself,
though Andrews knew of his lovemak
Ing, for he had sent a detective to spy
on his spy.
Andrews astonished Murtaugh by dis
charging him. Fie also transmitted an
order written nt his suggestion from
Washington to Miss Griggs that she
was required to make good all the
stamps that had been purloined. Since
from the first more than $100 worth
was unaccounted for an<\ the salary at
Trimmlngham was fct:t MOO a year
Miss Griggs found herself unable to
comply with the order, for she and her
mother and sister needed every cent
of her Income.
Murtaugh found another job. Miss
Griggs was permitted to retain her
place till an enlargement of the post
office building which was intended
could be made. In taking-jut a side of
the house the workmen wfcl bare
space that was filled witR ti-«y>rmeDts
of postage stamps. Miss Grigs3' desk
had stood against this wall. MK-c had
gnawed a hole from the wall hvto the
back of the desk, which gave theiri ac
cess to the drawer In which she kept
the stamps. The tiny thieves, attracted
by the gum arable on the back of the
stamps, had carried them where th?y
could feast on It at leisure.
A great deal of sympathy had been
manifested for Miss Griggs by the
townspeople, who all signed a petition
that she should be retained in her po
sition This was now not necessary.
She would have retained her position,
but Murtaugh established a detective
agency of his own and wanted her to
attend to his house and home.
! COURSE OF THE STARS.
Measuring How Fast and Far They Ga
Whirling Through Space.
Away out In space millions of miles
distant Is a star. To the eye it re
mains. year In, year out. a fixed point
V light. Even through the telescope
it does not appear to move, so slight Is
Its orbit compared with the enormous
distance that separates It from ub.
Yet It Is whirling through space as
we are about some sun which It obeys,
as we do ours. How do the astron
omers learn this? Through the spec
troscope.
Every one Is familiar with the fact
that when a whistling locomotive Is ap
proaching the pitch of the whistle
rises and as the engine recedes it falls.
This is because the sound waves are
crowded together by the onrushlng en
gine and shortened as it approaches
and are drawn out longer as it goes the
other way.
The same thing happens to the light
of an onrushlng star. The eye cannot
detect it. but the spectroscopy does.
The astronomer allows the light of
the star to come through a silt and be
broken up by the Instrument. He se
lects a single line of the spectrum of
the star, chooses a guide line beside it
aud watches it
if the star Is approaching the light
waves will be shortened and the light
will become slightly nearer the violet
if it is receding the waves will bft
longer and the light will approach the
red.
Red is low pitch in light and blue is
high pitch. As the star swings about
the curve at tills end of Its orbit the
light gradually returns to normal, be
cause the star, while- moving just as
fast Is not approaching us as much.
As the star turns back the line goes the
other side of the normal.
By continued observation the astron
omer finds how fast and how far the
star goes each way and how often it
does so. In the case of some stars he
discovers that what appears to be one
star Is really two, which is shown by
the fact that a line will divide into
two and one part move up and the oth
er down the spectrum at the same
time. Such stars are known as spec
troscopic doubles.—New York Sun.
