So many tale ha been told of this

true version at the outset. It reads
like a chapter from a novel, with

ONCE upon a Time two Maverick

They worked for a grinding Corpora

Often they woaM put their Feet on

Peanery thrice a Day and then back
to th Kennel wa no Life for a refined

Number One had a Theory that Two

lis looked up Into the Plpe-Smok and
rauc!-.t a Vision of a Bungalow with
Hollyhock In front and a Hammock
winging In the Hreeie. Somehow he
felt that h never would save any
Money until ha took the High Jump and
became a Family Mtn.
Number Two had a vague Teaming
to experiment with Matrimony but he
sail he would watt until he wa Fixed.
When he cou'.d open up the llttl old
Bank-Book and In plain sight th
Ice Box and th Talking Machine- and
tfc Dtnlng-Room Chair, then, and not
until then, wou.d h ask a Nice Girl
to leav a Comfertabl Home and take
a Gamble.
Number On picked out a Stenog
rapher who wa ready to retire, on
yrcount of her "pel'.lng. and then he
Tailed on the License Clerk, a Presby
srtan Minister and the Weekly Pay
he wished to have It so. Prince Albert
said ha did not wish anything of the
kind, so the strained situation remained
unaltered.

All Rom waa agog- with thl -"aristocratic

It was railed. Queen Helen nsed en
couragingly to ask th two young pso
pie how they were bearing up against
the "family." and HI Holiness th Pop
sent a discreet message- to Prince Al
bert. In which tha word "heretic" was
prominent. True, there waa no special
need to worry about the family, all the
Nievswle estates are entailed and
Prince Albert must get them, no mat
ter what ha does. He Is the sldeat son
and will on day be worth anything;
up to 150. 000. Ore. His father. Prlne
George, who la a confirmed Invalid,
cannot leave one cent of this away
from tha lawful heir. But Princess
Bichette, who knows more about busi
ness than most Princesses, has always
kept her children under the control
of allowances and told Prince Albert
that she would not Increase his Income

Then Princess Ftror.il stepped In.
This Prince Inhabited when In Roma
that beautiful Stroizt palace which Is
one of the city' greatest sights. She
Is Princess Bichette's alster; but the
two have nfver been over friendly and
rumor has It that-Princes Strozsl en
couraged the match Just to annoy her
family. Anywav. she told the young
lovers they could count upon a gen
erous allowance from her and that aha
would leave Albert her fortune said
to be worth $30,000,000. Thl sent th
family council Into an explosion of
rage, but thrlr anger waa useless for
as all tha World knows. Albert fol
lowed th Deacon to London and tha
couple were quietly married In Han
over Square. Prince Strozsl was

Years aro her great grievance against

Strange to aay, ah waa not annoyed 1
with Mis Deacon, but with hlui over

"It's not yenr fault, because you ar
so bewitching," 'she frankly told Tier
prospective daughter-in-law. "Ha
ought to have known better than to
fall In love with any but the girl I
chose for him.
She cannot understand Radslwlll
marrying anybody under a Princess. 80
far, her children had thought so, too.
but Prlnc Albert' revolt waa an aw
ful shock, especially aa ha will be tha
head of the house when hi father dies,
as he must era long.
Prince Albert mean to have his
beautiful wire all to himself, for th
present. "W are living quietly Just
now." he told a friend, "because Do
rothy and I want to be together aa
much as possible. Then, when we have
had a long, long honeymoon, I'll go
with her to all the courts In Europ If
she wlshe. But I don't think aha care
for them any more than I do."

turned out unexpectedly easy. As a

He packed up hi Banjo and th Mil

Number Two said he would swim the

-'It was over them that the great

waa another to stand by while men

In Niesxwles, the young; couple are
surrounded by the historic associations
of centuries. The estate Is so enor

the Roinanoffs were unheard of. So
sura Is their position In high places
that they treat It quite as a matter of
course. Even at tha autocratic Berlin
court they do Just aa they like. Prince
Albert's aunt. Princess Mary, recently
electrified a brilliant crowd at a court
ball there by boxing her daughter's
ears In the presence of Kaiser Wil

dare do such a thing when royalty was
near. "Royal fiddlesticks," cried the
Princess. "The Dadzlwills were mag

daughter has caught the spirit of the
times and flirts outrageously with a
beggarly commoner and I had to give
her a lesson."
Prince George, Prince Albert's
father, is Just as independent. One
day he was at the Russian court and

superb collection of antique relics and
objects of art. They came to a huge
golden casket inlaid -srlth precious
stones. "This Is the most beautiful
thing- I have," said His Majesty.
"Yes, my cousin," was the Prince's
retort. "I ought to know that, because
your grandfather's soldiers looted It
from my palace at Nlesxwles."
This was perfectly true, though, of
course, the Tsar did not look for such
candor from his guest.
At the Viennese court, etiquette Is
stricter even than In Berlin. Princess

been shot and thrown overboard and so
also had the third mate. Prendergast
then descended into the 'tween-decks
and with hia own bands cut the throat
of the unfortunate surgeon. There
only remained the first mate, who was
a bold and active man. When he saw
the convict approaching him with the
bloody knife in his hand, he kicked oft
his bonds, which he had somehow con
trived to loosen, and, rushing down the
deck, he plunged Into the after-hold.
A dozen convicts, who descended with
their pistols In search of him, found
him with a match-box in his hand,
seated beside an open powder barrel,
which was one of a hundred carried
on board, and swearing that he would
blow all hands up If he were in any
way molested. An Instant later the
explosion occurred, though Hudson
thought It was caused by the misdi
rected bullet of one of the convicts
rather than the mate's match. Be the
cause what it may, it was the end of
the Gloria Scott and of the rabble who
held command of her.
'Such, In a few words, my dear
boy, is the history of this terrible
business in which I was Involved. Next
day we were picked up by the brig
Hotspur, bound for Australia, whose
captain found no difficulty in believing
that we were the survivors of a pas
senger ship which had foundered. The
transport ship Gloria Scott was set
down by the Admiralty as being lost
at sea, and no word has ever leaked
out as to her true fate. After an ex
cellent vayage the Hotspur landed us
at Sydney, where Evans and I changed
our names and made our way to the
diggings, where, among the crowds
who were gathered from all nations,
we had no dificulty in losing our for
mer identities. The rest I need not
relate. Wo prospered, we traveled,
we came back as rich colonials to Eng

Bichette, who has already married one
son to a Hapsburg- Grand Duchess, is
given full freedom of expression by the
Austrian Emperor, who Is exceedingly
fond of her. It Is not overlooked by

and close connections that the Radsl

Prince or Princess of so rich a house
Is a yery good match for any of the
Grand Dukes and Di chesses, who are
not likely to come to .the throne.
Story of the Princess Bichette.
All sorts of stories about Princess
Bichette go the round of aristocratic
tea-tables. Ona of 'them may be given
as characteristic of her. One hot day
when she was sitting In her boudoir In
a very thin tea gown, without even
shoes and stockings, a certain Canon,
now a bishop, was announced. "Show
him in here," she said to the servant,
and received the Canon In this light
attire without the slightest embarrass
ment. When he had gone her sister,
who had called In the meantime with
a lady friend, said, "How can you re
ceive a man in that negligee?" The
Princess retorted: "My dear, you sure
ly don't consider the Canon Is an ordi
nary man, do youT If he Is, he ought
not to be, so It amounts to the same
thing."
80, taken all round, it is a strongr
minded and original, as well aa a
wealthy and powerful, family that
Dorothy Deacon married into when she
became an American Princess.
For more than 20 years we have led
peaceful and useful lives and we hoped
that our past was forever burled. Im
agine, then, my feelings when In the
seaman who came to us I recognized
instantly the man who had been picked
off the wreck. He had tracked us
down somehow and had eet himself to
look upon our fears. Tou will under
stand now how it was that I strove
to keep the peace with him and you
will In some measure sympathise with
me In the fears vthloh fill me now that
he has gone from me to his other vio-,
tlm with threats upon his tongue.'"
Underneath is written In a hand so
shaky as to be hardly legible, ,'Beddoes
writes In cipher to say H. has told all.
Sweet Lord, have mercy on our souls.'
"That was the narrative which I
read that night to young Trevor, and
1 think, Watson, that under the circum
stances It was a dramatic one. The
good fellow was heartbroken at It and
went out to the teral tea planting,
where I hear that he is doing well. As
to the sailor and Beddoes. neither of
them was ever heard of again after
that day on which the letter of warn- -ing
was written. , They both disap
peared utterly and completely. No
complaint had been lodged with the
police, so that Beddoes had mistaken
a threat for a deed. Hudson had been
seen working about and It was believed
by the police that he had done away
with Beddoes and had fled. For myself,
I believe that the truth was exactly
opposite. I think that it is most
probable that Beddoes, pushed to des
peration and believing- himself to have
been betrayed already, had revenged
himself upon Hudson and had fled from
the country with as much money as
he could lay his hands on. Those are
the facts of the case, doctor, and if
they are of any use to your collection,
I am sure that they are very heartily
at your service."
