The country round about was, tendants, were beautiful women. Ber. thinly settled. though a village had grown up near the farm. The people had their own customs, which had been handed down to them through many generations. Some of these cus- toms were very quaint. My father had left a brother and a sister in Russia. The brother had died unmarried, but the sister. a wid- ow, still lived. She had but one child, a daughter, who jointly with me would inberit the farm. She was a very odd. though a very pretty, little damsel about seventeen years old. I could not talk with my aunt or my cousin be- cause they spoke no English and 1 no Russian, but we found an interpreter who served our purpose fairly well, . There was no hotel in the place, and 1 was obliged to set up a dwelling of my own. This 1 did in a small house which had been vacated. A middle aged woman who spoke a little Eng- lish consented to be my housekeeper and do my cooking. My aunt did not invite me to stay at her house. Why I knew not. The business that brought me to Russia was very slow in working itselt out, and the prospect of my getting away was not propitious. 1 had been in the village several weeks when one tha had charged Catberine to treat her with some severity lest by ber ac- customed deference she betray the se- cret. During the first interview Cath erine spoke to Bertha somewhat sharp- ly, and the king's notice was turned from the spurious to the real queen. who bore the reproof with becoming meekness. Indeed, King Caspar was charmed that the maid showed no temper whatever, while the reproof, which seemed to be uncalled for, prej udiced him against her supposed mis tress. Queen Bertha had gone to the meet ing with no other object than to over- look ber future husband incognita. But { from the moment she saw him she was much smitten with him and resolved to win bim if possible. She directed Catherine to lose no opportunity to show her severity while in the king's presence. Catherine, who was an ex- cellent actress, played ber part remark- ably well. Did she order the queen to do her any service, no matter how speedily the duty was performed, the spurious queen would reprimand her. At such times the real queen would cast down her eyes, bearing the injus- tice with angelic sweetness. One morning Catherine sent Bertha ; l i morning 1 was surprised by a visit to the royal garden for some flowers from my Cousin Lisa.

Little xy_llt- | le"T drew” fronT my Informier that in this region of Russia when a woman wished to marry a man she went to his house and remained there, uwait- Ing his action. If he refused her it was considered a great lnsult to her and her family. If she had male rela- tives they were likely to avenge what was considered a slight to her and them. While 1 had been charmed by my little cousin I had had up to this mo- ment no thought of marrying her. Her | action put the idea into my head. A marriage between us would greatly fa. cilitate the settling of the Inherlunce in which we were interested. She was very lovely, very modest, and in her quaint Russian costume she looked very pretty. If dressed as au Ameri- can lady 1 would have no reason, at home, to be ashamed of her. I accepted Lisa’s proposal and as soon as 1 had done so sent her home to prepare for the wedding. My aunt | mldmothnlhlndmfmmm Sgi act as she had done.

While they were together a door opened and Catherine came out Into the corridor. | With fire in her eye she ordered Bertha to her room, then said to the king: “If this 1s a sample of your majes- ty's constancy I think we had better g0 no further in this matter.” “As your majesty pleases,” replied the king with a formal bow. Thus was the king turned from one woman to another. Queen Bertha and her maids of honor returned to Zinger- land and King Caspar to \Walkaria. HBut the king did not remain there long before he took a step which he must take with great care, since his fallure to marry the queen of Zinger- land had made him unpopular in both kingdoms. He sent a confidential , friend to Zingeriand to learn if be | could marry one whom he supposed to be the queen’s maid of honor. King Caspar had no hope that he would be permitted the woman of bis choice. The queen had shown herself insunely jenlous of her maid of honor and would doubtless refuse his request with some barsh accompanying mes- sage. During his messenger’s absence he walked the floor impatiently and with anxiety, waiting for his answer. His emissary returned with a sur- prise, announcing that the maid was the queen and the queen was the maid.
