In gypsy eyes a girl of fourteen is a very much grown up young person. In the accidental meeting of the tribes at Hawthorne Prince, Henry came to the conclusion that he had been endowed with prophetic vision on the Ohio eight years ago. He found that Princess Lottie had not forgotten him; shé said she had dreamed about him ever since. They well knew how their parents would regard a proposal for a union between the houses. So the two went out to the trolley crossing yesterday and boarded a car for Hoboken. ‘They were missed within half an hour. The chiefs sought each other. Gypay chiefs can be practical enough when they please. They hurried to telephone and talked to the police at Hoboken, Two tall dark men crossed the path of ture love as the trolley car reached the Hoboken terminal and Princess Lottie alighted on Prince Henry's arm, They were Detectives Fullam and Cornell, of the Hoboken police. They took the pair to the police station and sent for the chiefs. That is why the two bands moved out to-day, a week before they intended. ‘Sandman Stories,” Ab- Walker; courtesy Harper 6.45 P.
