. member or an old I'rn551an family long
sotUed at Pomerania and t.llo Mark or ;
' Brandenburg. and or LouleaVflhelinlna von I
Menlten. Blmarck was born at Ills Cather's
I estate or Schonhausen on April 1 , 1815. To
distinguish hImself from other branches or
:
his numerous family he called himself ( after
1819) : ; ) "lIlsmarcl.Schonhausen. " In 1821 he
I was sent to school at the , Plamann academy
In Berlin , and In 1821 entered tim FrClerlck ! '
William gymnasium. In the spring or 1832

. where It was Intended that ho shonld study
jurlsprndenco But neither at school nor at
the university did he dleplay much aptltudc'I I
for study but that of history. For the ! [ rest
he was chlelly remarl11blo [ In these early :
years for hIs good temper , his delight In
amusements of all kinds and his phyalcalca
strength and courage.
. It Is recorded of Dlsmarck that In throoq
. "semesters" at Gollingen be fought and can-
'quered In seven and twenty duels. In 1835
1 bit entered the publ.c service as "auscul:1tDr" ( :
at l3eriin. and In the fol1owng : year obtained
a Imalll1l.polntment . ( that or "rclcrendarius" )

, III an opponent of the parliamentary lll > eras ,
wbo were seeking to transform the Prussian :
n . monarchy into a Itrlctly constitutional re-
gIme. Thq Derlln revolution of 1848 awoke
In Dlsmarck sentiments or extreme Indigna-
than , and during this eventful year he was
one of the most active leaders of the conm
. sorvatlvo party , which was seeking by means
of the press , public meetings and representa-
Ions to tim kIng to oppose the further proP
. gross or the revolutlontsts. In 1849 ho took !

between the prInciples of order and disorder
-a contest whIch was not to be decided
, . by debates and maJorllles. "Sooner or later
the God of battles must cast the die "
The princiPles which Bismarck enounced
at thIs stage of his career are substantially
these which have guided him throughout.
Prussia was to bo IItrengthel1et1 by n good

The center oC the state was the llohenzollerll

fairies , elves , sprites , gods and goddesses ,
and kIngs and . Queens , who consider t.10 larth
ft holy allli beautiful Jllace , were very InlIg-
flOut , anel assembled to decide what shoult1
ho done to thIs presumptuous Ilerson who
scorned it.
"l.t me have control of her , " saul ths
earth kIng , "I wi subdue her stilt-necked
pride , " amI he spqko wIth such positive con-
notion that nil present were content to let
him \ assume the resllcnllblty of this dim-
cult task.
IV.
Two days afterward . during which the
earth kIng had considrr.d the case and formed
hla Jllllns , ho dispatched a messenger to tht
princess-and thls'messenger
messenger was none other
than the Goddess Night . The Princess can-
11escent1ed to receive her wIth pale cordiality.
. -
"l'ut on yoVir thrkest gown , " said Night ,
"Cor I am to tale OU to visit the earth king ,
and r1 will ' JIOt' ' receive , ycu J you wear
brIght cole J.\ " ' ) ,
"I never walk' on the earth , " said the
IJrlncess. " 1 ca\10t \ go. "
"Yes , I know l / ' replied Night , "I have pro- ,
vided for you. I have rolled In n soft evening
mist along thi way that we must take , and
wo wi glilo 'upon-It. ' until we reach the en-
trance to the hall1 of the eal.tl'1ng , which
Is a cave neart'tM ' : gates of sunset. "
f , ) V
The prlncem qm led and trembled as she
entered the earth-kIng's dwellIng . for Ightt
had left her ' time door oC the dark caveril.
She passed dQwr 1 : rock-hewn pathway , forgetting -
getting that'shovahked . , .
gcttng ysho"valke upon.the'earth as
she followed some-'mysterlous force that
seemed to 10 drawIng her along. With each
step she Celt less contmand of herself and
I at . lust she reached the grotto hardly know-
ling what to make of herself. The earth-
king was sealed upon n curIous chair , carved
out of the stalactItes that hung Cram the
roof. Rubles , diamonds , sapphires , emeralds
and other precious stones , highly polished
and brilliantly cut , were glittering from the
rocky walls , and a brazier , In which amethysts -
thysts were burning In , hIgh purple ' daisies .
stood In tbo' center ot the floor , that was
paved wit sold slabs of gold and silver. i
A hundred lte gnomes , In queer ( brown
tunics and leather leggings , and with pointed
caps some blue , some red , and come yellow
and green-were the only creatures In the
hall. A few held flaming torches ; the others
waited the behests of their master. These ltle
gnomes started In surprise and admiration
when the princess approached for they had
never seen any one so beautiful us this lovely
woman In her robe or dark brown velvet
without a jowel' or' bit of lace. She advanced
and stood In front of the earth-Idng.
" 'Vo have beard proud princess. " began
the earth-kIn g , and Instantly the Itt
gnomes picked up their cars and listened
attentively , as If they thought , "ncar , dear , a
princess , how very exciting. Whatever Is
going to happen ! "
" 'Ve have heard , " continued the earth-
king "that you scorn the earth-Is that
true ? "
"She scorns the earth " thought the little
gnomes and whispqrcd to each other. "How
very dreadfui ! "
"Do you know what my kIngdom repre-
seats ? " asked the earth-king very sternly.
"I knownot . neither do I care , " replied the
prlnces.
The little gnomes were astonIshed ' at any
one giving sucl a saucy answer to their
kin . , . Hurplv h'n wnuld "hliln her-hut , nn-

holds within I useful metals : precious jewels
wOllerful stones : the history of past ages
InscrIbed In the rocks : lie mysterious secrets
or the flaming yolclosj ; nourIshment for
the life at pistils and trees ; great undeveloped
powers for the use of man , and the source
of atrength. Above inn Is a thin crust on
which wide seas toss anti roll between lands
so sublime In their beauty and of such ram
and varied life that men indeed worship na-
lure and find pl asuro In theIr felow beIngs
I have heard that you refuse to wall upon
my sacred gronnt1. I this true ? "
"Yes , I am too proud to walk on the common -
mon elrth and I will de S ( no longer , " re-
pled the prInces
"Very wel , " said the earth-ldng In a pole
but positive manner , "so bo 't ' , you dream
but little of my power , proud prIncess. I
held the king , your fpther . as 1 hold all men
In subjecl-soo Lrlor later they come to me

lowliest creattes-no that men deign to
thInk of and one that the very dogs keep I at
bay. nemomberj , proud beauty , that who-
ever scorns tho''ord shah by the world be
scorned " l' I
The black oyost of the prInces gleamed
with fire , but ahid' l tked steadily before her :
the bright Ip'wcrb ' pressed together , but
:
no word elcap T thni The graceful arms
hung lmp and Ifolols , only I nervous
twitching of lfri farr bands betokened the
ltr
agitation of thd 11rlndEomo woman whose
proud serenity had never before been dIs-
turbed
There was such profound silence In this
subterranean bail that the little gnomes
hardly dared to breathe ns they looked
with terror at the rigid taco of the enrth-
king , or when they watched wIth , amaze-
meat the transformation of the itrinceas ,
whom they had thought 10 beautiful.
"Whiati Is so growing shorter 80
. \lal l.s _ r. _ grad-
, ual ) ao qUleuY I nor nose becoming
more pointed II she losing her beauty ?
No , no , no , no ! " thought the little geOlos ,
"Iurely not. "
They turned their heads war , waite /
few moments until curiosity compelled them
to look agaIn. 10rorl ! ler nose had be-
come long and slim-almost
/nd 11m-almost a snoul And
her scarlet lips-ohm , where Were they 1 ler
eyel too , her beautiful , limped eyesl All ,
the golden light had faded from them and ,
they were now ao small , quite like little
beads of jet. j
The little guomo were almost weepID
, - ' - - ' . _ _
They lookelll\t the earth klag . but he noticed
thom not. With a cold , set face he kept
his eyes fixed upon the princess , A It his
mind controlled and willed what was now
takIng place
The little gnomes were really frlghtenll :
never In al their lives had they seen such 1\
strange sight Their respect for the outh
klng's power was increased , but theIr sympathies -
pathies for the princess were excited. Again
they looked at her-but was It the princess ! 7
Oh , dear , nol Gracious heavens I She was
now on all fourl Her velvet gown had boo
come like closely clipped sealkIn that fitted .
t/htly around her , her long dark hair had
grown all over hoe face , which had now but
two distinguishing features-a long narrow
nose and two black dots for eyes , bright but
wrhout expression Nothing romaln01 of her
former beauty but tIme dainty hands and feet.
And she was still growIng smaller.
"Oh , dearl oh , , dean Is site going to VAnIsh -

"I shall never meet this little animal wih-

the first little gnome after a long silence ,
