Now the princess was almost grown
up, but she had never been allowed
to wander anywhere by herself, so
afraid were the king and queen that
their lovely daughter might come to
harm.
However, the afternoon when she
was walking In the garden, under the
eyes of her mother, she managed to
slip away from her ladles-in-waiting.
She yvent off to a far part of the
great big castle and decided she'd ex
plore It all by herself The castle had
so many ronrns in It that many of
them had never been visited by any
nns*' years.
She yvent up one winding stairway
and when she came to the top she
saw a little door. She walked In and
found a queer looking old woman sit
ting beside a strange wooden machine,
"What is that?" asked the princess.
"That's a spinning wheel," an

“Steve” I’ngracionaly Hows to the
Inevitable.
The man whom my mother-in-law
had called “Steve’ wasted no acc-|
j.onds in answering the ultimatum 1
had glvei^him. He stepped hark a
i>ace or two and swept me a mock
ing bow that had in it something
! which startled me. so memory-haunt-j
ing was it. Where had I seen a sim
ilar gesture. I had no time for con
sideration of that question, however,
and I tucked it away in a mem j
tal corner from whence 1 could bring
it out later for inspertion .and crave
I my whole attention to the drawling
utterance of the man opposite me.
“Game and set, ' he said, and I also
filed away the observation that at
pomp time in the life of this tramp
| he had been familiar with the usage
and nomenclature of the tenni«
courts. But 1 whs careful that neither!
m face nor my vole® should betray
my mental comment.
“Do you know' how to get to our
home?’’ I queried.
"The Kye* of I/»ve."
“Not likely,” he retorted, “since I’ve
been stalking the mater out here. I’d
just been slipped the information that
you’d moved down east somewhere,
and hadn’t had time to make any
further inquiries when I sided my be
loved parent nut walking and hurried
to her side. The eye* of love you
know.
That hi* sneer was meant to tie
provocative, J knew by the watchful
eyes above the cynically twisted lips.
He would have given much 1 surmise,
to be able to anger me. I guessed that
be knew well how to deal with wrath
ful, emotional women, but that he had
no experience with which to meet one
who watched him -«« I was endeavor
ing to do—with cool appraisal.
“Then, will you kindly take down
these directions," I said, as if he had
uttered only the single negative mon
osyllable As I gazed placidly at him
I saw the flash of unwilling respect
and admiration In his eyes.
"Anything to please the boss," he
replied, producing the stub of a pen
cil ami a torn envelope for his dis
reputable clothing. I dictated the
directions for finding the farm, fol
lowing them hy crisp caution:
"See to it that you do not njenilon
your errand to any one. for if I find
out that you have, all possible ne
gotiations end right there."
"You Will I.eave Now."
"Sa-ay. sister-in-law," he drawled,
"don't you suppose I'm a smart enough
guy In know when I'm connected
with the business end of a buzz saw?

"That depend* entirely upon your
own behavior—and the proof that you

T retorted steadly. "Hut there's one
thing more. Before you come to the
farm, you are to telephone me from
the station, saying you are Mt-."
"How would Smith do?" he queried
with a mocking grin as I hesitated.
"Robinson." I returned sleadlv.
"An automobile agent who wishes to
