Io pro test against the things that are " The baroness smoothed down her laces with plump little hands upon which gleamed Innumerable rings. Marie Amalie Constantia Louise - "and all the rest of it." as she said to herself. Princess; of Doldrums, arose from her low chair with a most unroyal lui pa tience. Swish, swish, went the si.ken skirts over the polished Boor, and the Baroness von Griefensteiu wisely kept silence. Marie Amalie stood at the window und drummed :i tatton upon th:' pane. Below, the lillie fountain tossed ?ts laughing waters and the cuirassiers' j band poured forth the national air ? Marie Amallo was tired of fountains that played in the sunlight, tired cfdie j national hymn, siefc to the soul the duchy (?f Doldrums and nil ii eyiitaln i'd-all because ii few shari weeks h?- , fore the baroness had ;akeu her young charge with her train to the hunting schloss and then spent a glad, never to be forgotten day. Somehow-nobody knows, for such . things have a way of managing them selves-the equerries and the princess' maids drifted two liv two down the forest alleys In the languorous after noon. The baroness nodded in her chair, and Marie Amalle found herself | alone. When Marr Da vent rode from the gasthaus that morning he drew long breaths of the forest freshness. For miles beneath the arching lindens of the duke's forest he rode at a walk, the reins hanging loose on the bay's neck. ' singing snatches of college glees and thinking of the fnroff country whither he would s:>on bc going. He raised his eyes and looked down the linden roaehes-looked and woke, so near that the Iwy roared in Budden fright. Then Da vent slipped from the saddle and stood, hat in hand, as Mario Amalie came toward him through tho green twilight. She did not Attempt to exense herself to herself.-and to no one else did that imperious young woman vouchsafe rhyme or reason for lier deeds, lt was temptation, pure and simple, at a time when the girl w^-is sore hnblttored against the* traditional shackles. A prisoned thing, hound and dumb in her jewels and laces, she had known Hiv shame of the old roue's approval when he came to view her. as one would the points of a prize mare, mid pronounced j her ht to be Duchess of (? raf sin nd. "Fit!" Marie Amalie ground her white teeth together at the remembrance of lt. But she smiled with level brows in to the brown eyes of Da vent as the handsome head was bowed before ber. and then trouble began for thc Baron ess Griefeustein. Two hours later they parted under the lindens, he believing her some no bleman's daughter In the train of the young princess; she knowing all the facts about him. Marie Amalie came up the linden walk, thinking deeply. An American, it suited her exactly. Bhe thought of the yacht that lay even now at Havre; thought, too. of the doddering old Duke of Grafsland, who had buried bis second wife not a year before, the pale, pretty princess out of the north, who had been sold to him, as they were selling her. Marie Amalie went softly up the marble steps, through the portico and down the ball, her footsteps making no sound In the thick carpet. She drew back the portiere that hung in DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.

C. straight, heavy folds. There waa a smothered cry from within, u rustle of paper, hut before the baroness could close the drawer a white band closed firmly upon her wrists. "What are yon doing here among the private papers of Duke Fritz?" Tlie baroness . sank down, gasping, speechless, as Mari" Amalle towered over her. Then the girl made a hasty examination of the drawer. The key was in the lock. A fragment of. wax that adhered to the keyhole told the se cret of the baroness' access to the pa pers of the young duke who had killed himself In that very room years before, when the Baroness G riefenstein bad been a famous court beauty and Marie Amalie but a child in the cradle. Only a bundle of yellowed letters, written in the delicate Italian script affected by the women of that genera tion. Marie held them thoughtfully: then, with sudden impulse, retied the faded ribbon about them, locked the drawer and placed the Jjey in her bosom. The letters she kept in her band. With a slow smile around the mischievous red mouth, she passed througli the portiere ont into the sun light. She held the key to the situa tion. The Baroness Grlcfensteln was a sen sible woman. She knew hersr/f at the mercy of the girl whom heretofore she had ruled relentlessly. Therefore, through the weeks that followed she temporized, telling herself that it was only for a time. In a 'month the girl would be safely married. There were various expeditions to the forest, even ing walks, when only the baroness guarded tho pretty princess. The young -American still lingered at the gasthaus and rode his bay through the duke's forest. Meanwhile tho women .esme -rind went, intent upon the preparations for the marriage. Ail around the luxuri ous room were scattered the silks and laces, jewels strewed the tables. And in their midst Marie Amalie at the window, her eyes upon the forest, heed less of it all. A horseman rode down the winding road and turned in the saddle for a long look at the palace Some day he would ride from her for ever to his land of "hearts content" over the sea, leaving her to the deso late pomp of the Duchess of Grafs land. She turned to the baroness, and their eyes met. The baroness shivered. The crisis that she had been dreading had come. Marie Amalie leaned down, hushing her voice to a whisper, "I will do it, and you must help me." And the baroness knew that she would keep that word. The old duke, her father, could hard ly believe his eyes and ears when Ma rie Amalie dutifully accepted her be trothal presents from the old Duke of Grafsland and even bent her white brow to Iiis kiss. Through ail /the fes tivities that followed she moved, a queenly figure, but there was a wick ed light in the brown eyes, a mutinous curve to life red lips, and the days of the Baroness Gricfcnstoin were not days of pleasure. The Princess Marie Amalie lay In her darkened room. Once the doctor would have let In the light, but she protested, and finally he left her alone with a sleeping draft. Ai he meas ured^ it, going to the winde^v with his back to the bed, a white hand flashed out toward the little case that held his drugs. Only an Instant, but as the door closed behind him Marie Amalie laughed low to herself^ The baroness was on the point of re bellion, when Marie Amalie before her protesting eyes poured a generous dose Into the chocolate and bade her swal low it. "I am afraid. It will mean impris onment, banishment." "Take it" (the sweet voice was like steel); "take it quietly. The letters shall be yours when I am safe." The baroness drained the chocolate with quivering lips. Davent waiting with a closed car riage at the postern gate heard the click of the sentry's heels as the bar oness came through the gateway. A long black doa ?i came down to her feet, but the tawny gray hair and the password were sufficient for the sen try. Without a word they entered the carriage and were driven through the night, past the gates, where the bar oness gave the word, aboard the ex press, by grace of the promptly pro duced passports. When the morning broke they were well away to Havre. The princess had Issued orders that on no account were her rapids to en ter her room until summoned. But as the morning wore away and no sound came from beyond the closed doors they braved her anger and entered to find the princess' bed empty, unused, and in a chair by the window the Bar oness Griefenstein, with an empty chocolate cup at her elbow, lost In a drugged stupor. There was much hurrying to and fro in the duchy of Doldrums, but of their Princess Marie Amalie there was never a trace. The little Lutheran minister blinked and hesitated.

MARRYING A TITLE By Frank Leslie Bowen >? Copiirighi, 1909, by T. C. McClure I? Gerald Elkins wns seriously disturb ed over bis mother's cold blooded pur pose to secure a titled son-in-law. He loved his sparkling, vivacious, warm hearted sister, and his soul was In re volt at the idea of forcing her to make a loveless marriage. He was still pondering over the ques tion in the lobby of /the Breslau hotel when inspiration came to him in the person of Tom Carrington, a former college chum. After the first greetings Gerald dragged his friend into a quiet corner and Immediately began to unfold his brilliant scheme. "Tom, old mau, you are still single and heart free, aren't you?" The other nodded In mild surprise. "Good! I didn't know but that you had met your fate during the three years you've spent in England. Do you know, the sight of you put a queer idea into my head. You remember my little sister, Elnore? You saw her once about six years ago. She was only a little girl of fifteen then, but I remem ber you said you thought her deucedly pretty." The other's brown syes kindled at the recollection. "Well, of course she ls a young lady now and, if I do say lt, one of the loveliest girls that you'll meet in many a day's travel. Most unfortunately, mother has determined to marry El nore off to some duffer with a title, and she's badgering the life out of the poor girl about it. So far Elnore has turned down all the lords, counts, et cetera, for, though she says, she ls willing to marry one provided she loves him, she draws the line at the half baked speci mens of nobility that the mater bas sprung on bor. I want you to come to the rescue, Tom. Go In and win the little sister yourself and save her from the titled fortune hunters. You'll fail in love with her. I'll wager my bead My plan is to introduce you to mother and Elnore as an English nobleman whom I met a couple of years ago In England. I remember you once told me your father was an Englishman and distantly related to the Earl of Wei don. That's what made me think of the plan. Of course, bating only seen you once for a few minutes years ago, Elnore won't remember you. Join our party for the next two months while we are doing Germany and Austria. What 'do you think of It?" "For heaven's sake. Elkins, are you serious'/" the other gasped. "Never more so In my life." "But your sister! You are not con sldering whether she will like me or not. Then think of the position lt would put me In. She would despise me when she discovered what a trick I had played on her." "Oh, she'll like you all right, and you can tell her the truth when you pro pose. You need not care what the oth ers think so long as dad and I are sat isfied, and I can vouch for the gov ernor's views. At any rate, as long as you are In the party mother won't be inflicting any more of these fossilized and impecunious nobles on the poor girl." There was a peculiar twinkle In Car -eingtnn's eyes, and he gazed medita tively at the opposite wall a full min ute before answering. "I'll do It," he said briefly as he swung around. "You may introduce me as Lord Carnleigh, the courtesy title of the heir apparent of the Earl of Weldon." Tom Carrington was tall and broad shouldered, with polished manners of a man of the world. Mrs. Elkins was in a flutter of ecstasy that evening as her son presented to her "my Lord Carnleigh, heir apparent of the Earl j of Weldon, Castle Weldon, Sussex, Eng land, a gentleman whom I met two years ago in England," the last state ment, at least, being a literal truth. Elnore's face bore a look of doubting surprise us her eyes first rested on the clear cut features of "my lord," and the latter's quick glance caught it. It worried him a blt, but he soon forgot lt in blissful enjoyment of her so ciety. "By George!" he exclaimed as ho paced up and down his own room later in the evening. "Gerald was not a bit too partial in his praise of her. She's the handsomest, brightest, most adorable little girl I've ever met. I'm not sorry I entered into his plot now. I'll carry it through and win her if I can." Carrington's courtship of Elnore dur ing the next few weeks was of the most Industrious and persistent char acter. Gerald smiled contentedly as he watched the couple so absorbed In themselves, so oblivious to externals. Mamma Elkins, too, was complacent. True, "Lord Carnleigh" found no easy victim to his noble charms. "She's a girl of the most distracting ly variable moods," he declared in half despair one day to Gerald. "I believe she likes me. At times I almost think I've won her, she is so sweet and gra cious to me, and then just ns I am getting my courage up to the proposal pitch she'll suddenly turu cool as an Iceberg." Taking consolation from Gerald's wise commonplace, "That's a woman's way, my lord," he kept up the siege most valiantly. Finally one day his eager eye saw a signal of distress in her mantling cheeks and drooping eyes. Then he boldly demanded a capitula tion. When she whispered, "I love you, Tom." be took her lu his arms and shamefacedly acknowledged the deceit There will be perfect newspapers when there ls a perfect world.-Balti more Herald. have been grown by thousands of sat lisficd customers for over fifty years I 'I hey are as ?ootl as can be procured any " herc in tlir world.

"Mamma" did just what Tom antid oted when he told her of his love for icr daughter and bravely confessed hat he bad been guilty of an atrocious ?oax in passing as Lord eurnleigh, ipologles availed him naught Even vhen Gerald broke in and attempted 0 assume responsibility for the whole iffair and to explain that Carrington ivas rich and really connected with a ?oble English family, Mrs. Elkins' ivratb was not abated one jot. In a 1 torin of passion she ordered the young nan to leave her apartments and never igain to Intrude bis presence on her or 1er daughter. There was a conference that evening between Gerald and Tom at another Berlin hotel, with the result that the lext morning, long before the hour of Mrs. Elkins' awakening, Elnore stole >ut of her room. She was dressed for raveling. Gerald and Carrington met aer In the lobby, _nd all three entered i waiting cab. Two boura later Mrs. Elkins' French maid brought a large square envelope to her bedside. On both envelope and ?aper waa the Weldon crest. Her as tonished pros read the following lines: My Deai ?[adam-I humbly beseech your pardon for defying your commands, but 1 bave obeyed the dictates of my heart, and this morning ut 6:30 o'clock, In the pres ence of your son and my private secre tary, Mr. Holcomb, at the Fourth Luther in church, your daughter and I were mar ried.

With deepest regards, . WELDON. Facial Resemblance. "Physiologists tell us," observed 8 well known lawyer the other day, "that no two faces are exactly alike, and 1 think they are correct, although we of ten hear of one person being the exact Image of another. That this ls largely a matter of imagination can be proved by Investigation. For example. I have In my office a clerk who ls constantly mistaken for myself. Several people say he resembles me so closely that I must be joking when* I deny the rela tionship. In order, to ascertain bow much reason there was for these state ments I took the fellow to a photogra pher's one day last week, and we both had our pictures taken together, and I would, defy any one to point out a single point of resemblance. "My clerk, however,. regards the matter as a good jok<\ -nd I half sus poct th nt he acknowledges relationship in a good muny cuses intentionally BO as to cause complications. I have shown the photograph to several peo ple who have made the mistake, but lt bas no Influence upon them whatever, and it is impossible to convince them against their will."-New York Mail and Express. Disraeli's Lores. In his young days Disraeli fell under the spell of the "gorgeous Lady Bless ington," to whom he wrote letters breathing something more than friend ship. For example, in 1834: I was so sorry to leave London without being a moment alone with you; but, al? though I came to the opera the last night on purpose, fate waa against us. I did not reach this place untU Sunday, very ill indeed from the pangs of parting. In deed I feel as desolate as a ghost, and I* do not think that I ever shall be able to settle to anything again. It ls a great shame, when people aro happy together, that they should be ever separated, but it seems tho great object of all human legis? latlon that people should never bo happy together. "Dyspepsia," he writes a few months later, "always makes me wish for a civil war. In the meantime I amuse myself by county politics." Four years afterward "dearest Lady Blessington" had become "my dear lady," but'the friendship lasted after his marriage "with my dear Mary Anne,- who I am sure will be delighted by finding her* self under u roof that has proved to me at all times so hospitable and de voted."- Meynell's Biography of Dis raeli. She Did Not Drop. "Della!" "Yes, ma'am." "I am very tired, and I am going to lie down for an hour." "Yes, ma'am." "If I should happen to drop off call me at 5 o'clock." "Yes, ma'am." So my lady lies down, folds ber hands, closes ber eyes and ls soon in the land of dreams. She ls awakened by the' clock striking 0 and culls indig nantly: "Delia!" "Yes, ma'am." "Why didn't you call me at 5 o'dock as I ordered?" ? "Shure, ma'am, ye tould me to call ye if ye dropped off. I looked in on ye at 5, and ye hadn't dropped off at all. Ye was lyla' in the bed In the same place sound asleep." A Bachelor's Reverie. 'Twas yesterday, it seems to me, I held a tot upon my knee. A round faced, blue eyed baby girl With gold enmeshed in every curl.
