2 TIME DIiEEEMEISEi OF THE ffiflOCLLE® ®F K](o)[F®MDo o Bv Anthony Hope, Author of “Tlie Prisoner of Zenda,” "The Dolly Dialogues, Etc. (Copyright, 1895, by A. H. Hawkins.) There is a swift little river running by the village of Hofbau, and on the river ii a mill, kept, in the days of King Hu dolf 111., by a sturdy fellow who lived there all alone. The King knew him. having alighted at his house for a draught of beer as he rode hunting: and it was of him the King spoke when he said to the Queen, “There is, I believe, but one man in the country whom Osra could not move, and that is the miller of Hos bau." But, though he addressed the Queen, it was his sister at whom he aimed the speech. The Princess herself was sitting by, and when she heard the King, she sai*": “In truth, I do not desire to move any man. What but troubles come of it ? Yet who is this millei ?” The King to!d her where the miller urght be found, and he added: “Ii you Convert him to the love of wom .r, you shall have the finest bracelet iu Btre sau. ” “There is nothing, sire, so remnb from my thoughts or desire as to convert your miller,” said Owa, scornfully. And iu this, at the moment, she spoke truthfully; but being left alone f some days at the Castle of Zenda, whies is but a few miles from Hofbau, she found time hang very heavy on In t hands; indeed she did not know whai to do with herself for wearine s; and so for this reason and none other at all one day she ordered her horse and rc<U off with a single groom into the forest. ComiDg, as the morning went on, to wide road, she asked the groom when it led. “To Hos bau, madame,” he an swered. “It is not more than a mile further on.” Osra waited for a few mo ments ; then she said: “I will ride on and see the village, for I have been told that it is pretty. Wait here till I re turn,” and she rode on, smiling a little and with a delicate tint of color in her cheeks. Before long she saw the river and t lb mill on the river: and, coming to th" mill, she saw the miller sitting before his door, smoking a long pipe, and she called out to him, asking him to sell her a glass of milk. “You can have it for the asking,” said thß miller. He was a good looking, fair fellow, and wore a scarlet cap. “Ther is a pail of it just inside the door behiin me.” Yet he did not rise, but lay there, lolling luxuriously in the sun. For he did not know Osra, never ban g b en tc Strelsau in his life, aDd to Zenda three or four times only, and that when the Princess was not there. Moreover— though this, as must be allowed, is not to the purpose—be had sworn never again to go so far afield Being ar swered in this manner, and a the same time desiring t e milk, the Princess had no choice but to dismount. This she did, and passed by the miller. Eausing a moment to look at him with right, curious eyes that flashed from under the br'm of her wide-rimmed feathered hat; but the miller blinked lazily up at the sun, and took no hesd of her. Osra passed on, found the pail, poured out a cup of milk and drank it. Then, refilling the cup, she carried it to the miller. “Will yon not have some?” said she, a sterile. too lazy to get it,” said the miller; and he held out his hand, but did not otherwise eba ge his position. Osra’s brow was puckered and her cheek flushed as she knelt down, holding the cup of milk so that the miller could reach it. He took and drained it, gave it back to her, and put his pipe in his mouth again. Osra sat down by him and watched hi m. He puffed and blinked away, never so much as looking at her. “What have you for dinner?” asked she presently. “A piece of cold pie,” said he. “There’s enough for two, if you’re hungry.” “Would you not like it better hot?” 4 Oh, aye, but I cannot weary myself with heating it.” “I will heat it,” said the Princess; and, rising, she went into the house and made up the fire, which was almost burst out; then she heated the pie, and set the room in order, and laid the table, and drew a large jug of beer from the cask. Next she placed an arm-chair ready for the miller, and put the jug by it; then she filled a pipe from the bowl of tobacco, and set a cushion in the chair. And all this while she hummed a tunc and from time to time smiled gaily. Lastly she arranged a chair by the elbow of the miller’s chair; then she went out and told him that his dinner was reaily; and he stumbled to his feet with a sigh of laziness and walked before hor into the house. “May 1 come?” cried she. “Aye, there is enough for two,” said the miller of Hofbau, without looking round. So she followed him in. He sank into the arm chair and sat there, for a mo znent, surveying the room which was so neat, and the table so daintily laid, and the pie so steaming hot. And he sighed, saying: “It was like this before poor mother died;” and he fell to on a great p- rtion of pie with which Osra piled his plate j When he had finished eating—wnich thing did not happen for some time--she held the jug while he took a long draught; then she brought a coal in the tongs am held it while he lit his nine from i ; then Hhe sat down by him F»- -evirai mo menta he puff d, and th--n at laa. he turned his h .cl and 1 >uk \ ■■a Prince* Osra; and »he droo»>ed h-r long Same and cast down her eyes. a ,j n x sat lifted her eyes and glanced for an astuut at the m d r, and finally s o dropped her eyes again and murmured shjH: *■ .Chat is ft, sir?

But just as he reached the door he turned his head and asked, “Are you sturdy ?” “lam strong enough, I think,” said she. “A sack of flour is a heavy thing for a man to lift by himself,” remarked the miller, and with that he passed through the door and left her alone. Then she cleared the table, put the pie—or what little was left—in the larder, set the room in order, refilled the pipe, stood the jug handy by the cask, and, with a look of gr at satisfaction on her face, tripped out to where her horse was, mounted, and rode away. The next week—and the interval had seemed long to her, and no less long to the miller of Ho!bau —she came again, and so the week after; and in the week following that, she came twice; and on the second of these two days, after din ner, the miller did not go off to hi, sacks, but be followed her out of the house, pipe in baud, when she went to mount her horst; and, as she was abou to mount, he said: ‘ Indeed, you are a handy wench.” “You say much of my hands, but nothing of my sane,” re.u- .ked Princess Osra. “Os your face?” repoato l the miller in some surprise. “Writ should I say of your face?” “Well, is it not a com-sly ficc?” asked Osra, turning town ds han that he might bo better able s o answer hor question. The miller regarded her for some mo ments, then a slow sin le spread on his lip 3. “Oh ay, it is well eaougM” said he Then he laid a floury fi .ger « n her arm, and he continued: “If you c >me next week—why, it is but half a mile to church! I’ll have the cart ready and bid the priest be there. 'What is your nam< ?” For ha had not hitherto asked o„*ra’s name. “Koea Schwar z.” said she, and her face was all alight with t iu-nph and amusement. “Yes, I shall be very comfortable with you,” said the miller. “We will beat the church an hour before noon, so that there may be ti.na after wards for the preparation of dinner.” “That will be on Thursday in next week?” asked Os* a. “Ay, on Thursday,” said the miller, and he turned on his heel. Bur in a minute he turned again, saying: “Give me a kiss, then, since we are to be m m and wife.” and he came slowly towards her, holding his arms open. “N ;y, the kiss will wait till Thursday Maybe there will be Less flour n you: face then.” And with a laugh she c'ivei under his ou’srrefched arms and mvL her escape. And, the day being wtrrn the millet’ did not; u hi usolf ou by pur suing her, but sto d where he w :s, with i broad, comfortable smile on his lip-; an-t s > he watched her ride a vay.

It chanced that the King also came to Zenda that n’ght, to spend a week hunt ing the boar in the forest; and when Osra, all blushing and laughing, told him of her success with the miller of Hofbau. he was greatly amused, and swore that no such girl ever lived and applauded her, renewing his promise of the bracelet; and he declared that he would himself ride with her to Hofbau on the wedding day, and see how the poor miller bore his disappoint ment. “Indeed, Ido not see how yon are going to excuse yourself to him,” he laughed. “A purse of five hundred crowns must do that office for me,” said she. “What, will crowns patch a br< ken heart ?” “His broken heart must heal itself, a* men’s broken hearts do, brother.” “In truth, sister, I have known them cure themselves. Let us hope it may be so with the miller of Hofbau.” “At the worst, 1 have revenged the wrongs of women on him. It is mien durable th. t any man should scorn us, be he King or miller.” “It is indeed very proper that lie should suffer great pangs,” agreed the King, “in spite of his plaster of crowns 1 shall love to see the stolid fellow sigh ir.g and moaning like a love sick cour tier ” So they agreed to ride together *o the miller’s at Hofbau on the day appointed for the wedding, and both of them wait ed with impatience for it But, with the bad luck that pursues mortals (even though they be Princes) in this poor world, it happened that early in the morning of the Thursday a great officer came, riding post haste from Strelsau, tc take the King’s commands on high mat ters of state; and although Rudolf war. sorely jut out of temper by this unto ward interruption, yet ho bad no alter native but to transact the business be fore he rode to the miller’s at Hofbau So he sat fretting and furnii g while long papers were read to him,and the Princess walked up and down the length of the draw-bridge, fret'ing also; for before the King could escape from his affairs, the hour of the wedding wa3 already come, and doubtless the miller of Hofbau was waiting with the priest in the church. And indeed it was 1 o’clock or more be fore Osra and the King set out from Zmda, and they had then a ride of an hour and a half—and all this when Osra should have been at the miller’s at 11 o’clock. “Poor man, he will be half mad with waiting and with anxiety form.!” cried Osra. “I must give him another hun dred crowns on account of it.” And she added, after a pause, • 1 pray he may not take it too much to hear-, Rudolf.” “We must try io prevent him doing himseif any mischief in his despair,” smiled the King. “Indeed, it is a serious matter,” pout ed the Princess, who thought the King’s smiles out of place. “It was not so when you began it,” said her brother; and Osra was silent Then about half past two they came it. sight of the mill. Now, the King dis mounted while they were still s*v. ral hundred yards away, and tying his horse to a tree in a clump by ihe mill, he made a circuit and approached from the side, and, creeping along the house, hid him self behind a large water butt which stood just under the wiudow; and from that spot he could bear what passed in side the house, although he could not see. But O-ra rode up to the front of the mid. as she had been accustomed to do, and, getting down from her horse, walked up to the door. Ths miller’s cart stood in the yard of the mill, but the horse was noi in ihe shafts, and neither the miller nor anybody else was to be seen about; and the of 'he house was shut. L.Z " -* o 00 o <, - « “Have you no eyes ?” “He must be waiting at the church,” said she. “Bat I will look iu and m.*ke ; sure; indeed, I feel half afraid to meet him. ” And her heart was beating rapid-! ly and her face was rather pale, as she walked up to the door ; for she feared what the miller might go in the passion of his disappointment on learning who she was and that she could not be his wife. “I hope the six hundred crowns wi-l comfort him,” she said, as she laid h< r hand ou the latch of the door; and she sighed—her heart being heavy for the miller, and ma>bea little heavy also for the guilt, that lay on her conscience for having deceived him. Now, when she lifted the latch and opened the door, the sight that, m< t her eyes wao thi •. The table was strewn w>th ihe remains of a brave dinner; two burnt-out pipes lay beside the plates. A mailer table was in front of ihe fire; ou it stool :a very large jug. entirely empty, but beating signs of having been full not so long ag -; and on either side of it, each in an arm chair, sat the priest of she village and the millerof Hofbau, and >oi • • ..j were sleeping very content edly, and snoring somewhat as they .slept fbe Princess, smitten by minor,-e at this spectacle, said softly: “Poor ellow, he grew weary of w itt ing, and was hungry and v.as compelled to take his dinner; and, like the man he is, he has entertained the priest and kept him here, so that no time should be lost when 1 arrived. Indeed, lam afraid the poor iumu loves me very much. Well, milLr, or lord, or princf—they are all Ihe sHta*. Hek h bo! Why did Ide oeive him ?” And she walked up to the miller’s chair aud leant over the back of it, and lightly touched his red cap with her fingers, and he put up his hand and | brushed with it as though he brushed I away a fl* - , but gave no oh r sign of ! awakening. Then the King softly c: 11; d fr m be ! hind the waver-butt under the v iodow: “Is he there, Osra? Is he ther»'?” “The p or man has taHen asleep i « weariness,” che answered. “But the priest is here, ready to marry us. Oh, Rudolf, I am sorry for what 1 have done!” “Girls aro always mighty sorry as er it. is done,” remarked tm Kuig. “Wake him up, Osra.” At this moment the miller of Hofbau sat up in his chair and gave a great sneeze, and by this sound the priest also was awakened. Osra came forward and stood between them. The miller looked at her, and tilted his red cap forward, in order that he might scratch his head Then he looked across to the priest, and said : “It is she. father. She has come.” The priest rtibb-d his hands together, and smiled uncomfortably. “We waited two hours,” said he glancing at the clock. “See, it is 3 o’clock now.” “I am s rry you waited so long,” said Osra, “but l could not come before And—and now that I am come, I cannot distress and confusion, not knowing how to break her sad tidings to the miller of Hofbau. The miller drew his legs up under his chair and regarded Osra with a grave air. “You should have been here at 11,” said he. “I went to the church at 11, and the priest was there, and my cousin Hans to act as my groom, and my cousin Gertrude to be your maid. And there we waited hard on two hours, and you did not come.” “1 am very sorry,” pleaded Princess Osra; and the King laughed low to him self behind the water-butt, being much amused at her distress and her humility. “And now that you are come,” pur sued the miller, scratching his head again, “I do not know what we are to do.” And he looked again at tire priest, seeking counsel. At this the Princess Osra, thinking that an opportunity had come, took the purse of 600 crowus from under her cloak and laid it on the table. “What is this?” said the miller, for the first time showing some eagerness. ‘ They are for you,” said Osra, and she watched him while he unfastened the purse. Then he poured the crowns out on the table and counted them one by one, till he had told all the 600. Then he raised his hands above his head, let them fad again, sighed slightly, and looked across at tire Princess. “I warned you not to be in such a hurry, triend miller,” remarked the priest. | “I waited two hours,” said the miller, ! plaintively, “and you know that she is a ; handy wench and very fond of me. ” I And he began to gather up the crowns and return Them to the purse. “I trust I am a handy wench,” said Osra, smiling, yet still very nervous, “and indeed I have a great regard for the miller, but ” “Nay, he does not mean you,” inter rupted the priest. “Six hundred,” sighed the miller, “and Gertrude has but 200! Still she is a handy wench and very sturdy. I doubt if you could lift a sack by your seif, as s ; e can,” and he looked doubt fully at o‘ra’s slender figure. “I do not know why you talk of Ger trade,” s id the Princess, petulantly. “What is Gertrude to me ?” “Why, I take it that she is nothing at all to you,” answered the priest, folding his hands on his lap and smiling placid ly. ‘ Still for my part, I bade h ; m wait a little longer ” “I waited two hou*'s,” said the miller “And Gertrude urged me, saying that you would not come, and that she would look after me better than y u, being one of the family Ai d she aid that it wa* hard that she should have no husband, while her own cousin married a strai ger V since it wax all the same to me. provided I got a handy aud sturdy weic 1, ” “What!” cried the Princess Osra; and j iho King was so interested, that he rose up from behind the water butt, and. leaning his elbows on the window sill, looked in and saw all that happened “It being,” pursued the miller of Hof bau, “all the same to me so that I got what I wanted, why, when you did not come ” “He married his cou-in,” said the priest. A sudden, loud burst of laugh er came from the window. All three turned round; bur the King ducked his head and crouched again behind the water but before they saw him. “Who was that?” cried the priest. “A lad that came to hold ray horse,” answered O ra hastily, and th. n she turned fiercely on the miller. “And that,” she slid, “was all you wanted! I thought you loved mo.” “Ay, I liked you very well,” said ihe miller. “You aro a handy ” A stamp of her foot drowned the rest. “But you should h?ive come in time,” he went on. “And this Gertrude—is she pretty?" demanded Osra. “Gertrude is veil enough,” said the miller. “But she has only 300 crowus.” And he put the purse, now full again, on the table, with a resigued sigh. “Aud you shall have no more,” cried Osra, snatching up her purse in great rage. “Aud yon and Gertrude may ” “What of Gertrude?” came at ibis moment from the door of the room where the sacks were. The Princess turned round swift as the wind, aud saw in the doorway a short and very broad girl, with a very wide face and strag gling hair; the girl’s nose was very fiat, and her eyes were small; but her great mouth smiled good-humoredly, and, as the Princess looked, she let slip to the ground a sack of flour that she ! ad teen carrying on her sturdy back. “Ay, Gertrude is well enough," said th miller, looking at her contentedly. “She is very strong and willing.” Then, while Gertrude stood wonder ling and staring with wide eyes in the doorway, the Princess stepped up to th<' miller and leant over him and cried: “Look at niy face, look at my face ! What manner of face is it ?” “It is well enough,” said the miller. “But Gertrude is ” There was a crash upon the floor, and six hundred crowns rolled out of the purse, aed scattered, spinning and roll ing hither and thither, all over the floor, and into every corner of the rcom Anil Princess Osra cried: “Have you no eyes?” and then turned away, for her lip was quivering, and she would not have the miller see it But she turned from the miller only to face Gertrude, his wife; and Gertrude’s small face brigh f enod with sudden in telligence. “Ah, you are the other girl!” said Gertrude, with much amusement And was that your dowry? It is large. lam glad you did not came in time. But see, I’ll pick it. up for you. Nay, don’t take ou. I dare say you'll find another hus band ’ And she passed by Osra, pat ting her on the shoulder kindly as she went, ami then fell on her knees and began to pick up the c.owns, crawling after them all over the door, and hold ing up her apron to receive the recov ered treasure And Princess Osra stood looking at her. “Ay, you'll find another husband,” nodded the priest, encouragingly. “Ay you’ll find another husband,” as sented the miller, placidly. “And just as one girl is pretty nearly as good as an other, if she is handy and sturdy, so one husba dis a3 g<x>d as another, if he can keep a house over you.” Princess Osra said nothmg. But Ger trude, having picked up the crowns, came to her with a full apron and said: “Hold up your lap, and I’ll pour them in. They’ll get you a good husband.” Then Princess Osra suddenly bent and k’ssf’d Gertrude’s cheek, and she said gently: “I hope you have got a good husband, my dear; but let. him do some work for himself. And keep ts e 600 crowns as a present from me, for he will value you more with 800 than with two.” The yes of all three were fixed on her in wonder and almost in f ar; for her tone and manner now were different. Then she turned to the miller; and she bit her lip, and dashed her hand once across her eyes, and said: And you. miller, are the only sensi blc* man I have found in all the king dom. Therefore, go d luck and a good, wife to you.” And she gave a little short laugh, and turned and walked out of the cottage, leaving them all spellbound in wonder. But the miFer rose from hie chair and ran to the door, and when he reached it the King was just lifting Osra on to her hors**; and the miller knew the King, and stood there with eyes wide and cheeks bulged in wonder; and he could gasp out no more than “The King, the King!” before Rudolf and Osra had ridden away. And they could none of them, neither the miller, nor Gertrude, nor the priest, tell what the matter meant, until one day King Rudolf rode again to the miller at Hofbau, anfi, hav ing sent for the priest, told the three enough of the truth, saying that the affair was the outcome of a jest at court; and he made each of them a handsome present, and vowed them to secrecy by their fealty and attachment to his person and his honor. “Then, she would not have married me, anvhow?” asked the miller. “I think not, friend,’ ’answered Ru dolf, with a laugh. “Then we are but quits, and all is well. Gertrude, the jug, my lass!” And so, indeed, it seemed to the King that they were but quits, and he said so to the Princess Osra. But he declared that she had so far prevailed with the miller as to make him desire marriage as a wholesome and useful thing in itself although she had not persuaded him that it was of great moment whom a man married. Therefore he was very anxious to give her the bracelet which he had promised, and more than once prayed her to accept it. But Osra saw the laugh that lurked in the King’s eye, and would not consent to have the bracelet; and for a long while she did not love to speak of the miller of Hof bau. Yet once, when the King on some occasion cried out very impatiently that all men were fools, she said: “Sire, you forget the miller of Hof bau;” and she blushed and laughed and turned her eyes away. And one other thing she did which puzzled very greatly Queen Margaret and all the ladies of the court, and ail the waitiug women, and all the servant maids, and, in fine, every person, high or low, who saw or heard of it, except 'he King only. For in winter evenings she took her scissors and her needle, and she cut strips of red ribbon, each a foot long and a couple of inches broad; and she embroidered on each and every one of them a motto or legend; and she affixed the ribbons bearing the legend to each and every one of the mirrors in each of her chambers, at Strelsau, at Zenda, and all the other royal residences. And hor waiting women noticed that when ever she had looked in the mirror and smiled at her own image, or shown other signs of pleasure in it, she would then cast her eyes up to the legend and seem tc read it, and blush a little, and laugh a little, and sigh a little—the reason for which things they could by no means understand. For the legend was but this: “Remem ber the miller of Hofbau.” SLEEP & REST For Skin Tortured BABIES And Tired 7 MOTHERS Application of RreeDT Curb Treatment. —Warm bath* with Cuticura Boap, gentle application* of Cuticuka (ointment), aud mild doses of G’uti ccra Resolvent (the uew blood purifier). .
