' One day Jaharia, a little maiden of feiam, while walking in a public gar den passed a dark eyed youth. Their eyes met, and the flame of love was kindled In the maiden's breast. .. She ' was then only fifteen, but the image of the young man remained photo- graphed Indelibly upon her brain; ' The time soon came when she . should be married. But, though she ' was pretty and attractive, too suitor appeared for her hand. The truth Is 7 that she gave none of the young men any encouragement One day her fa ? ' ther, - who was a mathematician, so absorbed In his figures that he took little note of anything else, said to i. , her: 1 1 "Jaharia, how old are you?" "Nineteen." . "What! Nineteen and not married! iWhat does it mean?" "There are no suitors," said the girl. "No suitors! Surely you are-comely." i. "I am your daughter, and you see me through a father's eyes." . "I wonder if that is so. Perhaps It Is. At any rate, you must have a hus- t , band. I will attend to the matter to morrow." Now. this Is what the old man meant by "attending to the matter." In Siam ; ! every woman who has reached a cer- Ytain age without securing a husband may, If she choose, be registered one of the younger daughters of the king. This places her under the king's pro- . , tection and compels him tofind a bus- band for her. These husbands, how ever, are all lawbreakers. They are not sent to prison or fined or executed, j.fcut are condemned to marry one of 'the king's adopted younger -daughters. The condemned men are allowed to make their own selection, but with , certain limitations. Those .whose of- fenses are light are permitted to , J choose from among the better grade of r women, the most attractive in phys ical appearance and amiability, while I the grave offenders must marry the ugliest and worst tempered. j So it was that the poor girl, cherish I lng In her memory the youth she had . seen In the park, with plenty of young fellows anxious to marry her, was to i, .. be given to a malefactor.' It was her misfortune to have a father who, if far penetrating in the problem of mathe matics, on ordinary matters was in- ,, ordinately stupid. - The registry had scarcely been made when a young man who had borne an excellent character a student In the uhlversity was caught pilfering. Ev erybody was astonished..- ( He was tried, but the judge, considering that it was his first offense, gave him a fa therly admonition and let him off. To the surprise of every one, 'two hours after his discharge he was again ar rested for a similar offense, This time the Judge condemned him to marry one of the king's daughters. ' Within a few days there was'another case of a young man of good , reputa tion becoming a lawbreaker. This case was the more Temarfcable be cause he was of noble family. On ac counts of his rank he would not have been prosecuted bad he not repeated his offense a number of timles. He. too, at ' last was convicted of crime. One morning when the judge went to court he saw In the prisoners' dock no less than six young men of the best families some of them noble who were to be tried for petty offenses. "There is an epidemic of crime among our youth." said the Judge to himself. "I must stamp It out." Thereupon he convicted tevery one of the lawbreak ers of an offense of the highest grade) A. . I a . -.1 ana senreneea eacn to marry one or the ugliest and most irascible of the king's daughters. '.' Nevertheless the epidemic spread. Young men of every grade were caught openly committing offenses, and all were convicted without mercy, finally one morning when the judge took bis seat on the bench be was as tonished to see in the prisoners' dock the son of the prime minister. The young man,; whose name was Karkalo, pleaded guilty to stealing the purse of the minister of finance. The judge, not daring to sentence so high a personage, was about to dis charge the young man, but the latter said that he would prefer to suffer as a lawbreaker and should be obliged If the judge would give him an oppor tunity to expiate his offense, where upon he was sentenced as one of the better grade of malefactors. On the day when the criminals were brought forth to select their wives all these better class young men 1 were among the number. Among the wo men to be chosen was Jaharia.' Twelve of the young men of birth were obliged to select wives from among the home ly and vicious. They were all in de spair. Little Jaharia stood mute, with downcast , eyes, equally despondent. Presently an attendant told her that she had been chosen and led her to the man who had chosen her. When she stood face to face with him she looked up. It seemed to her that the people, the walls, the furniture, were swimming about her, all tinged with the colors of the rainbow, while an ecstatic hap piness welled up in her heart. She saw the young man she had several years before met in the public, garden. "I have demeaned myself," he said, "to gain you for my wife. I never ciianced to see you after the first time till I learned that a certain lovely girl had become a king's daughter and found that she was the one I had so long dreamed of." ; He was the king's son and secured pardon for the others. '-" Cure For Disconsolate' Lovers. "" Somebody has jdug out of an old book of the time of Queen Elizabeth the following advice to 'a slighted -and despondent lover:. f ' Tye one end of ' a rope right over beame ( and make a sllppe noose at tbe other ex trearae. fust under tbe beam lett a bucket, b sett; On it lett the lovler most manfullie g-ett Right over his heade be left the snlcket be gott and under . bia eare i well fastened tb knott ' rhe buckett kicked cleare, lett him takt a full swinge And leave alle the reste of the worfce t the strlngel - Trusting the Dog's Judgment. . .'
