All four of the actors on the little

grand duchess eyes been younger she
might have been still further puzzle1
by the varying and vivid expression
of their faces But she saw only that
the dark browed peasant man who ha 1
glared so haughtily at poor Frau Yor

baste and roughness
I do hope he hasnt already stolen

Get at the root of the trouble
Rubbing an aching back may re

But it wont cure it
You must reach the root of it
the kidneys
Doans Kidney Pills go right at it
Reach the cause relieve the pain
Mrs Eva Hobbs living on North
Seminary street Madisonville Ky
sayshI have no hesitancy in re
endorsing the claims made for
Doans Kidney Pills as they are
without doubt the best kidney
medicine in the world When they
permanently cured me of my trouble
in the summer of 1903 I allowed my
experience to be published in our
local papers so that others who suf
fer as I did might know what course
to pursue to get relief I was a suf
ferer for years with terrible pains
through my kidneys and down
through my loins There were such
bearing duwn pains at times that I
actually had to give up and lie down
until the pain subsided The se
cretions from the kidneys were ir
regular in action and painful in
passing I tried remedy after
remedy rubbed my back with lini
ment and wore plasters but received
little or no relief Doans Kidney
Pills made a complete and perma
nent cure four years ago and it only
required two boxes to do it I have
been perfectly free from any kidney
complaint ever since

TOBACCO BILLS
Washington March 17 Another
chapter in the interest of the Ken
tucky tobacco growers was recorded
when Senators McCreary and Payn
ter both introduced bills for the re
lief of tobacco men The enthusi
asm over the prospect of securing a
repeal of this obnoxious tax is now
running at high tide and the Ken
tucky Senators are confident of fav
orable action at this sessionI
her guosts supposed and feared Ics
thd brigand porhnps equally Wall in
strwctod might seek Immediate ro
vottgo Ills bare knees alone won
evldonco against hIs character In tin
eyes of tho grainj duchess Thoy gave
him a brazen lUmndonod air and n
young man who cultivated so long a
space hotwoon stockings and trousers
might be capable of any crime
1 Oh mother youre very much mis
taken Virginia was protesting This
man Is a groat friend of mine find has
saved my life You must thank him
J If It wore not for him I might novel
have come back to you
youI of her words
penetrated to the intelligence of the
grand duchess through an armor of
misapprehension
He saved your life she echoed
Oh then you have been In danger
Heaven be thanked for your safety
and also that the mans not likely to
know English or I should never for
give myself for what Ive said Here
Is my purse dearest Catch it as I
throw and give it to him Just as it is
There Is at least 20 In it and I
only wish I could afford more But
what Is thp matter my child You
look ready to faint
As she began to speak she snatched
from a desk at which she had been
writing a netted sliver purse But
while she paused waiting for Virginia
to hold out her hands the girl forbade
the contemplated act of generosity
with an imploring gesture
He will accept no reward for what
he has done except our thanks and
those I give him once again the girl
answered She then turned to the
chamois hunter and made him a pres
ent of her hand over which he bowed
with the air of a courtier rather than
the rough manner of a peasant And
the grand duchess still hoped that the
emperor might be at the window as
really it was a pretty picture and it
seemed to her presented a pleasing
phase of Virginias character
She eagerly awaited her daughters
coming and having lingered at the
window to watch with impatience the
rather ceremonious leave taking she
hastened to the door of the improvised
sitting room to weome the moun
taineers as they returned to tell their
adventures
My darling who do you think was
listening and looking from the win
dow next ours she breathlessly In
quired when she had embraced her
newly restored treasure for the secret
of the adjoining room was too good to
keep until questions had been put
Cant you guess Im surprised at
that since you were so sure last night
of a certain persons presence not far
away Why who but your emperor
himselfThe
The princess laughed happily and
kissed her mothers pink cheek Then
he must have an astral body said
she since one or the other has been
with me all day and it was to him
or his doppelganger that you offered
your purse to make up for accusing
him of stealing
The grand duchess sat down not so
much because she wished to assume a
sitting position as because she experi
enced a sudden uncontrollable weakness
of the knees For a moment she was
unable to speak or even to speculate
but one vague thought did trail dimly
across her brain Heavens what
have I done to him And maybe some
Jay he will be my son Inlaw
Meanwhile Frau Yorvan a strange
ly subdued Frau Yorvan had droop
Ingly followed the chamois hunter into
the inn
innMy
My dear old friend you must learn
not to lose that well meaning head of
yours said he in the hall
Oh but your majesty
Now now must I remind you again
that his majesty is at Kronburg or
Petersbruck or some other of his resi
dences when I am at Allehelligen This
time I believe hes at the baths of Me
ling If you cant remember these
things I fear I shall be driven away
from here to look for chamois else
where than on the Schneehorn
Indeed I will not be so stupid
again yourI mean I will do my very
best not to forget But never before
have I been so tried to see your high
born imperial shoulders loaded down
as Ifas if you had been a common
gopacktrager for tourists Instead of
A chamois hunter Dont distress
yourself good friend Ive had a day
of excellent sport
For that I am thankful But to see
your to see you coming back in such
an unsuitable way has given me a
weakness of the heart How can I or
der myself civilly to those ladles who
have
haveWho have given peasant Leopold
some hours of amusement Bo more
civil than ever for my sake And by
tho way can you tell me the names of
the ladles That one of themn com
panion I judgeIs a Miss Manchester
1 have heard in conversation but the
others They are mother and daughter sir
The elder who in her ignorance cried
out such treasonable abominations
from tho window as I could tell oven
with the little English I havo picked
up is Lady Mowbray I have seen the
name written down and I know how
to speak It because I havo heard it
pronounced by the companion the
Moos Manchester The younger the
beautiful one Is also a mees and the
mother calls her Helene They talk
together In English also in French
and though I have so few words of
either language I could tell that Lou
don was mentioned between them moro
than once while I waited on tho table
Besides it is painted in black letters
on their traveling boxes
You did not expect their arrival 1
Ob no sir Had they written be
forehand at this season when I gen
erally expect to be honored by your
presence I should have answered that
the house was full or closed or any
excuso which occurred to me to keep
n
n p
t strangers away But none haye over
beforo arrived BO hUt In the year nUd
I was tak ii All unawares when mr
t son Alois diM them up lad flight
I Ho did not know you had arrlted as
the papers spoke so positively of your
visit to tho baths and I Could not send
travelers away You have bidden me
not to do so once they are in till
house But theso Indies nrolMioro but
for a day or two more on their way to
Kronburg for ft visit and I thought
You did quito right Frau Yorvan
Has my messenger come tip with lot
tersYes
1 Yes your yes sir Just now also
a telegram was brought by another
messenger who camo and loft in a
great hurry
The chamois hunter shrugged his
shoulders and sighed an Impatient
sigh Its too much to expect that l
should be left In peace for a single
day even here he muttered ns he
went toward the stnlrsI
To reach Frau Yorvans best sitting I
room selfishly occupied according to
one opinion by four men absent all
day on a mountain he was obliged to
pass by a door through which issued
unusual sounds So unusual were they
that the emperor paused
Some one was striking the prelim
inary chords of a volkslled of his fa
vorite Instrument a Rhaetian varia
tion of the zither As ho lingered lis
tening a voice began to sing Ah what
a voice
voiceSoftly
Softly seductive it was as the cooing
of a dove In the spring to its mate
pure as the purling of a brook among
Shes an English girl yet she sings our
Jlhnctlan music
meadow flowers rich as the deep notes
of a nightingale in his passion for the
moon And for the song it was the
heartbreaking cry of a young Rhaetlan
peasant who lying near death In a
strange land longs for one ray of sun
rise light on the bare mountain tops of
the homeland more earnestly than for
his first sight of an unknown heaven
The man outside the door did not
move until the voice was still He
knew well though he could not HeI
who the singer had been It was Im
possible for the plump lady at the
window or the thin lady with the
glasses to own a voice like that It
was the girls She only of the trio
could so exhale her soul in the very
perfume of sound for to his fancy it
was like hearing the fragrance of a
rose breathed aloud I have heard an
angel he said to himself but in
reality he had heard Princess VIrI
ginia of BaumenburgDrlppe showing
off her very prettiest accomplishment
in the childish hopo that the man she
loved might hearI
Leopold of Rhaetia had heard mnnyt
golden voices golden In more senses
of the word than one but never be
fore it seemed to him a voice which
so stirred his spirit with pain that
was bittersweet pleasure as blinding
as pain and a vague yearning for
something beautiful which he had nevI
er known
knownIf
If he had been asked what thatI
something was he could not If he
would have told for a man cannot ex
plain that part of himself which he
has never even tried to understand
Before he had moved many paces
from the door the lovely voice no
longer plaintive but swelling to brit
liant triumph broke into the national
anthem of Rhaetia warlike Inspiring
as the Marseillaise but wider call
Ing her sons to face death singing In
the defense
defenseShes
Shes an English girl yet she sings
our Rhaetian music as no Rhaetlan
woman I have ever heard can sing
It he told himself slowly passing
on to his own door She Is a new
type to mo I dont think there can be
many like her A pity that she Is not
a princess or else that Leopold the
emperor and Leo the chamois hunter
are not two mon Still the chamois
hunter of Rhaetia would be no match
for Miss Mowbray of London so the
weights would balance in the scales
as unevenly ns now
Ho gave a sigh and a smile that
lifted his eyebrows Then he opened
the door of his sitting room to forget
among certain documents which urged
the importance of an immediate return
to duty the difference between Leo
pold and Leo the difference between
women and a woman
Goodby to our mountains tomorrow
morning ho said to his three chosen
companions Hey for work and Kron
burg Sho was going to Kronburg in a few
days according to Frau Yorvan But
Kronburg wns not Allehelligen and
Leopold the emperor was not at his
palace In tho way of meeting tourists
or oven explorers
Shell never know to whom she
gave her ring ho thought with the
dense innocence of a man who has
studIed nil booku save womens looks
And Ill never know who gives her nI
plain gold one for the finger on vfhlcl
she once wore thin
But in the next room divided from
him by a single wall sat PrlacoSfl Vir
ginia of BautncnburgDrlppo
When we moot again at Kronburg
he mustnt dream that I know all the
time she was saying to herself What
would spoil evcrythlngJust at flrstj
Yet oh some day how I should low
to confess all alii Only I couldnt pos
sibly confess except to a man who
would excuse or perhaps even approve
because ho had learned to love me I
well And what shall I do how 8hl111II

wkSIX
i ETTEUS of Introduction for
Lady Mowbray and her
idaughter to luiluen
Q tlal and Interesting per
a sons attached to the
Rhactlan court were
necessarily a part of the wonderf
plan concocted In the English garden
though they were among the details
thought out afterward
The widow of the hereditary Gran
Duke of BaumenburgDrlppe was re
ported in the Journals of various coun
tries to be traveling with the Prince
Virginia and a small suit through Can
ada and the United States and fortu
nately for the success of the innocent
plot the grand duchess had spent so
many years of seclusion in England
and had even in her youth met so few
Rhaetlans that there was little fear or
detection Her objections to Vlrgiular
scheme for winning a lover Instead of
thanking heaven quietly for a mere
husband were based on other grounds
but Virginia had overcome them and
eventually the grand duchess had prov
ed not only docile but positively fertile
In expedient
expedientThe
The choosing of the borrowed flay
under which to sail had at first been
a difficulty It was pointed out by a
friend taken into their confidence i >
lady whose husband had been ambas
sador to Rhaetla that a real name
and a name of some dignity must be
adopted if proper Introductions were
to be given And It was the grand
duchess who suggested the name of
Mowbray on the plea that she had In
a way the right to annex It
The mother of the late Duke of
Northmoreland had been a Miss Mow
bray and there were still several eml
nently respectable Inconspicuous Mow
bray cousins Among these couslnu
was a certain Lady Mowbray widow
of a baron of that ilk and possessing
a daughter some years older and in
numerable degrees plainer than the
Princess Virginia
To this Lady Mowbray the grand
duchess had gone out of her way to be
kind In Germany long years ago when
she was a very grand personage In
deed and Lady Mowbray comparative
ly a nobody The humble connection
had expressed herself as unspeakably
grateful and the two had kept up a
friendship ever since Therefore when
the difficulty of realism in a name pre
sented itself the grand duchess thought
of Lady Mowbray and Miss Helen
Mowbray They were about to leave
England for India but had not yet
left and the widow of the baron wan
Battered ns well as amused by the ro
mantic confidence reposed in her by
the widow of the grand duke She was
delighted to lend her name and h < > r
daughters name and who could blame
the lady if her mind rushed forward to
the time when she should have earned
gratitude from the young empress of
lhaetia For of course she had no
doubt of the way In which the aden
ture would end
As for the wife of the late British
ambassador to the Rhaetian court she
was not sentimental and therefore was
not quite as comfortably sure of they
sequel As far as concerned her owu
part In the plot however she felt safe
enough for though she was after a
fashion deceiving her old acquaint
antes at Kronburg she was not foist
Ing adventuresses upon them On
the contrary she was giving them a
chance of entertaining angels un
awares by sending them letters to
IndIes who were In reality the Graud
Duchess of BaumenburgDrlppe and
the Princess Virginia
The four mysterious gentlemen left
tUlehelligen the day after Virginias
encounter with the chamois hunter
But tho Mowbrnys lingered on The
adventure had begun so gloriously that
the girl feared an anticlimax for tho
next step Though she longed for the
second meeting she dreaded It as well
and put off the chance of It from day
to day The stay of the Mowbrays at
Uleholllgen lengthened into a week
and when they left at last It was only
just in time for the great festivities
it Kronburg which were to cele
brato the emperors thirtyfirst birth
day an event enhanced In national
Importance by the fact that the eighth
anniversary of his coronation would
rail on the same date
On the morning of the journey tho
grand duchess had neuralgia and was
frankly cross
I dont see after all what youve
accomplished so far by this mad freak
which has dragged us across Europe
she said fretfully in tho train which
they had taken at a town twenty miles
from Allehelligen Weve perched on
R mountain top like the ark ou Ara
rat for a week freezing The adven
ture you bad there Is only a complica
tion What have wo to show for our
troubleunless Incipient rheumatism 1
Virginia had nothing to show for It
at least nothing that she meant to
show oven to her mother but In a
little scented bag of silk which lay
next her heart was folded a bit of
blotting paper If you looked at its
reflection In a mrror you saw written
