She uttered the words carelessly, as If she wasn't at all Interested. The stranger stuffed his cap Into a pocket. She was glad that she had chosen the new saddle. The crest and coat of arms had not yet been burned upon the leather nor engraved upon the silver ornaments, and there was no blanket under the English saddle. There might be an adventure; one could not always tell. She must hide her Identity. If the Btranger knew that she belonged to the House of Barschelt, possibly he would be frightened and take to his heels. But the Princess HUdcgarde did not know that this stranger never took to his heels; he wasn't that kind. Princess or peasant, It would have been all the same to him. Only his tone might have lost half a key. Bauer called to his assistant, and the girl stepped out Into the road. The stranger followed, as she knew he would.

CHAPTER VI. aceom-inmlrftjo- Hilda-trard- liar-chol- s. . The princess rose at dawn the following day. Bhe routed ou( Hans, tho lead groom, and told him to saddle Artemis, the filly which an English nobleman had given her. Ten minutes later she was In the saddle, and the heaviness on her heart seemed to rise and vanish like the opal mists on the bosom of the motionless lake. A pale star blinked at her, and the day, flushed like the cheek of a waking Infant, began drowsily to creep over the rolling mountains. How silent all the city was! Only here and there above the chimneys rose a languid film of smoke. The gates of the park ehut behind with clang, and so for a time she was alone and free. She touched Artemis with a spur, and the Ally broke Into a canter toward the lake road. The girl's nostrils dilated. Every flower, the thou-sanresinous saps of the forest, the earth Itself, yielded up a cool sweet perfume that was to the mind what glass of wine is to the blood, exhll ration. She would never marry Doppelklnn never. That horrible Stelnbock! She was glad, glad that she had struck him, again and again, across hla lying yee and evil mouth. She had believed that she knew the world; it was all yet a mystery; the older she grew the less she understood. Wasn't anybody good? Was everybody to be distrust d? Which way should she turn now? The world was beautiful enough; It was the people In it. Poor Betty! She had her troubles, too; but somehow ahe refused to conflde them. She acted very much as If she were In love. She would never marry Doppelklnn never. But how should she escape how? On Wednesday night she would be given her quarterly allowance of a thousand crowns, and on Thursday she must act, . . . Yes, yes, that was It! How simple! She would slip over Into never would Doppelklnn, where-thethink to search for her. She knew a place In which to hide. From Doppel klnn she would go straight to Dresden and seek the protection of her old gov ernesa, who would hide her till the duke came to hla senses. If only she had an Independent fortune, how she would snap her fingers at them all! She was distracted by the sound of jangling steel. Artemis had cast a shoe. Ho annoying! It would take ten minutes to reach old Bauer's smithy, and ten minutes more to put on a shoe. She brought the filly down to a walk. If only she were Betty, free to do what she pleased, to go and come at will! She wasnt born to be a prinshe wasn't common-placcess; enough; she enjoyed life too well. Ah, if only she might live and act like those English cousins of hers with whom she went to school! They could sllm-llmbe- seal-brow- y e ride roan-fashion- , hunt man-fashio- shoot, play cards and bet at the races and nobody threatened them wltl.Doppelklnns. They might dance, too, till the sun came into the windows and the rouge on their faces cracked. But she I (I use the emphasis to lliustratq the decided nods of her pretty head.) thy, every sweet had to be stolen! Presently the smithy came Into view, emerging from a cluster of poplars. She rode up to the doors, dismounted and entered. Old Bauer himself was at the bellows, and the weird blue light hissing up from the blown coals discovered another customer. She turned and met his frank glance of admiration. (If she hadn't turned! If his admiration hadn't been entirely frank!) Instantly she sent Bauer a warning glance which that old worthy seemed Immediately to understand. The stranger was tall man-fashio- well-mad- man si e had eye was roving. He became susplc-loua- .

One pound of the arsenate of lead to each 25 gallons of water, or one pound of the parls green to 100 gallons of water, will make a preparation of sufficient strength to promptly destroy this Insect. Sometimes It Is necessary to make an application when cherries or plums are nearly grown when It Is not advisable to cover the fruit with an arsenical poison. In this case one can use white hellebore In water In the proportion of one ounce to three gallons. If the hellebore is used, it is a little better to apply towards evening. Try to distribute the spray as evenly and thoroughly as possible to all the leaves of the tree without using enough to cause It to run off to any great extent Where only a few trees are to be treated, one may use lime or fine road dust throwing the dust very freely over the surface of the leaves.

That was the official comment made by Lord Lichfield, postmaster general of England, on Rowland Hill's proposal to establish a uniform postal rate of a penny throughout the United Kingdom. And that was at a time within the memory of some men still living, only 71 years ago. Despite Lord Lichfields condemnation of it, the scheme was within three years an established fact And men who In their childhood might have seen and read the first letters ever sent from one part of England to another for a penny may this year see and read letters sent around the globe and practically to every part of the English-speakinworld for the same small fee.
