CopyrlBhtod, 1903, by Awtoolntod
Literary !'rex,
How Knthcrlne Henrle enine to lie
Jack Carrlnglnn's ward belongs to tho
enrly chapters of a long story. It dntt
back, In fact, fifteen years, when Kath
orlnc was u three-year-old hahy and
Carrlngtou u young man of twenty.
Hut nt the beginning of the present
chapter, nftcr having Ix-on "finished
off" nt a very proper Inmrdlng school,
Knthcrlno had Just returned from
wlntor In Huropo with Cnrrlugton's
married sister.
And Carrlngtou as he sat In the twl
light on tho luxuriously appointed
porch of his out of town houso was ox
pectantly awaiting n promised after
dinner talk with her.
In accordance with a long and cam
fully formulated plan ho felt that tho
tlino had now como for lilin to tnko
Knthcrlno norlously In hand nnd to
prepnro hor for tho prominent part sho
was sure to play In n world of admir
ing but, nlas, Inconstant men.
Knthcrlno, radiant In n Huffy glory
of somo soft, delicate stuff beyond
mnn'fl comprehension, nt longth tripped
out through tho casement door nnd
perched horsolf nffcctlonntely on tho
arm of hor guordlnn'K easy chair. Ho
took hor little white hand in his and
pnttcd It gently as he would a child's.
"I suppose you hnvon't begun to
think about marriage yet, llttlo glr!7"
he asked by way of tactful beginning.
"Begun to think nbout It?' echoed
Knthorlno. "Why, I've always thought
nlxnit It always and always,"
Cnrrlngton looked up In amazement.
"H'iii," lie mused. "I haven't begun
n moment too soon, It seems." Then
nlotid he ndded: "So you've always
thought about marriage, my dear?
Well, welll And wlint have you thought
about It?"
Knthorlno threw her arms nbout hH
neck and gave lilin an energetic hug.
Then t-he placed a cushion at his feet
and fettled herself comfortably.
"I'll tell you," she began confidential
ly. "I've always adored fairy stories,
nnd of course there's a glorious young
prince In every fnlry story, you know
Well, It was always fun when I wns a
little girl to Imagine myself the beau
tlful princess whom the prince was
looking for and now I'm grown up,
gunrdy, denr, It's Just ns much fun,"
she finished naively.
Carrlngtou laughed heartily. IIo
waa greatly relieved.
"Imnglnnry princes nro nil very
harmless and proper, llttlo Kit," ho
commented Indulgently, "but protty
soon you'll begin to think nbout real
overydny men." , .
"Pretty soou?" Bho queried tenslngly,
"Denr mol" oxclnlmed Carrlngton.i
with nn unconcern ho waa far from
feeling. "Yott'vo not thought nbout;
real men nlready?"
"You'd call Harvey Dunton n renl
man, wouldn't you?" Knthcrlno nskod,
looking nt him roguishly.
Cnrrlngton'H Jesting mood passed In
n Hash. Ho shut his teeth with mid-
don vexation,
Where did you meet Harvey Dun-
ton?" ho Inquired scnrchlngly.
"On tho steamer coining back," an-
swered Kntherlne. "Your sister Intro
duced him. He's renlly very devoted
to mo. He's coming around later thlH
evening. IIo slugs, you know, nnd
I've promised to play his accompani
ments. Don't you like 111 in. gunrdy?
You don't look ns though you do."
"Oh, Dunton's nil right," ho answer
ed good naturally, suddenly nllvo to
tho fact that ho must play his hand
cautiously. "You ovldontly llko lilin,
llttlo girl?" ho pnrried.
"I don't know renlly, guardy. But ho
likes mo. That's as far as we've got."
was Kathcrlno's Ingenuous reply. "I'm
not taking hltn very seriously becnusc,
you see, somehow ho lsu't exactly llko
tho prlnco I've been expecting."
"I should hopo not," muttered Cur-
rlngtou.
"What did you Bay?"'
"I said ho'n coming across tho lawn
now," ovadeil Carrlngtou. "I'll stay
out hero and listen to tho music If you
don't mind, Kit."
"Just us you like, gunrdy, dear,"
laughed Kitty. "I'll como out again
after he's gone nnd tell you bow wo
got on."
"Well?" naked Carrlngtou tut hour or
so later as Katucrliio appeared sud
denly In tho doorway.
Hho did not answer, but stood ns If
spollbound. This was a bad sign n
very bad sign, ns Carrlngtou Interpret
ed It.
"Well?" ho ventured agalni this time
it trltle peremptorily,
"Cunrdy." exclnlnied Kntherlne, her
rapt expression breaking Into tho mer
riest of smiles, "I'd forgotten you wore
out here,"
"That'H the way It seemed to me," re
turn I ('niTlngton dr:.ly. "Dunton hart
it very alluring voice, huHii't he? Como
over here, you mischievous kitten, nnd
i oufeKs, as you promised."
Katharine came slowly,
"I'll tell you. guardy," sho began
hesitatingly, perching horsolf, us usual,
on the arm of his ehnlr "that Is, If I
can, I hardly know myself how 1 feel

Immediately Kathcrlno dropped her
frivolous mood nnd became thoughtful.
"When ho'H talking, guardy, ho
might Just ns well bo any mnn, as I
told you, but when ho sings, well"
"Well?"
"I almost fool that my prince hns

and may some good fairy tell you how
to know tho real prlnco when ho
coiuos.
V week later to a night Carrlngtou
ngaln sat listening to Dunton'B full
magnetic voice as, with seductive ease,
It glided through one love sing after
another to Kathorlno's sympathetic ac
companiment.
Suddenly there camo a pnuso In tho
singing a long pause. Carrlngtou
waited for the sound of talking, but
the silence was unbroken.
Without stopping to weigh tho Jus
tice of motive or consequences, ho
Jumped up determinedly and made u
drnmntle entree Into the music room.
Dunton, stnrtled, straightened him
self stlllly. He had been lennlng over
Kntherlne, looking Into her eyes with
pnKslonnte plendlng.
"This business must stop right horo,"
commanded Cnrrlngton, looking Dun
ton squarely In the eye.
"I do not understand you, Mr. nr-
rlngton," replied Dunton haughtily.
"If you have been eavesdropping you
could have heard nothing, for nothing
han boon said."
"No; that's Just the trouble." retort
ed Carrlngtou hotly. "Nothluir hni
been said. Miss Searlo Is my ward, as
you know, and It Is my duty to pro
tect her frem such sorcerers us you. I
happen to know that, llko tho carofully
guarded ladles lit the fairy tales, sho
Is watting for her prlnco to como"
Hero Cnriiiigton smiled down upon
Katherlno gently nnd placed his arm
ttbotit her "n renl prince. Mr. Dun
ton. They wear many disguises, vou
know, nnd tho lady's protector has to
lie on the ulei t."
Dunton turned nshy whlto.
"I trust that she may find her real
prince," he unsworn! scornfully nnd
walked angrily troin tho room.
When the sound of his footsteps had
died away Katherlno Hung liotlt hor
warm white arms around Cnrrlugton's
neck. Her eyes were full of shining
tears, but her Hps were Binlllng.
"Otiardy," sho said softly, "1 havo
found my prince!"
"Katherlno, you don't mean" begun
Cnrrlngton Joyfully.
"Yes -Jack I do."
'""And bo," said Jack lovingly, after
he had kissed her until she protested,
"this Is thu end of the fnlry story?"
"Oh, no!" laughed Kntherlne softly.
"Thoy lived hnpplly ever after, you
know."
