CHAPTER XI. was not until the train started, and Rose Revel found herself alone face to face with Prince Siegfried, that shi realized the ex traordinary position in which she was placed. Bound by her solemn promise to the dead man, to whom she had in fact sold her freedom cf action, she was now the responsible of a creature with the help- lessneeo of a child and the querulous- Bess of a middle-aged invalid. How white he looked, how forlorn and Rose's rieart felt a pang of pity as she noted the hollows in his face, the leaden rings under his eyes, and utter absence of any signs of healthy vitality in face or movement.

She won- flered, as she considered him, how his father could have been so blind as not to see the skill with which the Scotch tutor was working for Russia in manner of educating his pupil. Possi tly Ross let her prejudice against Donald Keith carry her too far, for she ascribed to him not only the prince's helpless effeminacy, but alio hrg sickly Approaching death iMined. to have dimmed Siegfried's his strength and paralyzed hii Rose, intent on her own thoughts, bent further and further forward, determined, if human means could do it, to stop the mischief, and puzzling out In her own mind what steps she ought to tike. Suddenly Siegfried, who had been lying back with his eyes closed, opened them to meet a pair of black ones staring at him with an intensity which he mistook for ferocity. With a low exclamation he drew himself still further Into his corner, and Rose, guessing that her black-browed face had frigtiteaed him, though she could not guess to what an extent, changed her place to take the seat beside him.

He had closed his eyes again, but she saw that he was shuddering with terror at the- thought of having her so near him. "I'm afraid my dark face alarms you, prince," she said, using the rich tones of her deep voice with persuasive effect. "But I want you to forget it, and to remember that your father put great trust in me, and commended you to me on his death-bed." "I know; yes, I know," murmured Siegfried hastily. "The man at the hotel told me. And indeed, madam, I believe you.

You are very good, I am But you are a stranger to me, and you have been the means of separating me from my friend, my tutor, so that I am alone in the world, helpless, at your mercy; I don't know what is to become of me." And Siegfried, who had kept his head turned away from her, broke down with in his voice. "But you will soon flnd out," said Rose, in an encouraging tone. "First, we will go to see this Mr. Combermere, the solicitor, whom I hare a letter to. Then, we will obtain an interview with Sir Ambrose Fenuing.

the prime minister, who used to be an intimate friend of your father's, I understand. He will be sure to do something for you." "Oh," said Siegfried, with the first glimmer of shrewdness he had shown, "you must not count upon that, madam. My father used to say that the government of men was the most degrading of all occupations, and that rulers, both kings and ministers, must always be approached by their bad side. Now, how will you or I be able to do that?" "I should not try," said Rose. "I should appeal to his old friendship for your father, to his sense of justice." "He will have neither friendship nor justice." Bald Siegfried, shaking his head.

"My father taught me to know these men, and warned me never to make a friend of any man in a public capacity. We shall get no good from going to him." "What do you wish for yourself, then?" "I don't know," answered Siegfried irresolutely, "except that I should like to have Donald with me." "Well." said after a minute's consideration, "I will try this Donald Keith by making him think you have been left without money, tf he is anxious to remain with you all the same, it will prove him to be disinter- Pstart and "My father would have said it would prove him to be a fool," interrupted the Toung prince gently. "I should not to try him like that, at any rate; for Donald is fond of money. I know. And it my father said 1 was to be under your care, that is enough.

I do not understand, but I doubt not he had some good reason." "You loved your father very dearly," Rose In a soft voice, somewhat surprised by his calmness. "I reverenced and honored him," an- the prince reluctantly. "I did BOt flare to love him; he was too made world Mem too black. I lored Donald." "Was not Donald wise, then?" "Not in same way. But he was learned In his -way.

He wat an occultist He talked much to about his soul: my father said it was because he had no mind." "Did you thatT" did not owe. My father was aUour. my eOuc'ation that all my other tutors 'aught, taught, taught me from morning till night. So that I was glad of Donald, who did not educate me so hard, and who used to talk on with his eyes on the ceiling, so that I did not have to try to understand." "You must be very learned yourself, then?" "I don't know. I have been told and taught a great many things, but they buzz in my head sometimes.

I think I should like to have been born a carpenter, and not have had to learn so much. "You would rather have been a carpenter than a king?" "Yes, one would be one's own master, and there would not be so many duties. Duties! I heard of nothing else." "Surely you had pleasures, too, euch a high position as yours!" "I have not heard of them. I think my father had no pleasures, and I had only my books. Even with them I was not allowed my own way.

I might grow frivolous, my father said. So it was only history, discoveries I might read about; no novels except a few Russian ones, which were and dreary, and hateful." "Then, are you glad to be free from all resDonsibility and the duties?" 1 cirnnot shake them off if I would. My father said if I liad to remain in I must always remember that I might be called any day to come back, and that then it would In my duty to f9, whatever the danger. So you wot am not even now free." He was answering her questions rather timidly, as if under compulsion, but with perfect straightforwardness; although he avoided meeting her eyes, it was plain that her beautiful voice had a great charm for him. Rose considered his answers, and the strange picture of a dreary life which they conjured up, for a short time in Present- she said, with decision: "You have been kept too much indoors.

You want air and exercise." Siegfried drew further into his corner and shivered. But she continued pitiessly: "You have kept studying in over-heated rooms till your health has given way, and nothing but a thorough change in your way of life can save you. WAS not your father anxious about your health? Didn't he ever consult physicians about you?" "Yes, I believe they said something of the kind you say, and then my father gave orders that I should go out more. And they took me out for one or two horrible drives from which I came back half frozen." "Yes, because you were too much wrapped up. You ought to have gone in a little two-wheeled thing, and have driven yourself." "I drive!" exclaimed Siegfried in horror and disgust.

"Really, madam, you' don't seem to understand, in my country these occupations are not for persons of my position." "In isj- answered Rose with cooust aisaaln, "they are considered'flt- ting occupations for any man." Siegfried glanced at her out of the corners of hui eyes in fear and perplexity, but not in anger. He was overwhelmed by the novelty of his situation. Here was a person, who not only had no respect for his high standard of refinement, but absolutely dared to sneer at him for it. He glanced at the chased gold smelling bottle which, was as constantly in hie hand as if he had been a woman, at his perfumed gloves, at the little morocco hand-bag which lay on the seat in front of him, open to display a multitude of trifles such as Rose would have contemned a woman for possessing. Her eyes followed his, and her lips curled as they fell upon the bag.

Siegfried reddened. "I suppose you think it effeminate for a man to like beautiful things, things which are works of art," said the prince, as he took up a gold match-box heavily set with rubies and showed it to her "Indeed, prince, I have no right to say, as I don't know any of the ladles of your country," "Neither do answered Siegfried simply. Rose turned to him in astonishment. "Your mother, don't you remember her?" "She died two days after I was born," "And you have never had a sister?" "No, I do not think I have in all my life before talked so much with any Xroxeaoirenciea. Presently Rose asked: "How old are you?" "I am twenty-five," he replied with great gravity.

She was utterly astonished, and scarcely believed him. "I should have thought that you were about seventeen, if anything Siegfried moved uneasily under the faze of her black eyes. If he had not been so preposterously effeminte and tfhildlsh, her position as guardian of this young man would have been highly ridiculous; as it was, she felt that the charge would be merely tiresome, as long as it lasted. She would do her best to fulfil her compact with the dead king, but as she took note of first one sign, of extreme delicacy and then another, hollow cheeks, shortness of breath, gradually increasing THE PtJEITAN FOLK.

There was an uncomfortable silence, each feeling a passion of indignation at the conduct of the other, and at the antipathetic tie which forced them into suet companionship. Rose had left the window open, being herself oppressed by the perfumes and essences with which the prince scented his clothee and saturated his handkerchiefs. with puckering strings. Then the Stmday after they were born they were carried off to the meeting honse to be baptized. There was no fire in those meeting houses, arid they often had to break the ice in the christening bowl.

But the Puritans had no monopoly of snch cruelty to children. The rubric of the Episcopalian prayer book says that parents must not defer baptism longer than the first or second Sunday after birth. One of these New England parsons believed in infant immersion and prao- tioed it, too, till his own child nearly lost its life by it. After that he learned some sensa Judge Sewall writes Jan. 22, 1694: "A very extraordinary storm, by reason of the falling and driving of the snow.

Few women could get to meeting. A child named Alexander was baptieed in the afternoon." It is not surprising that consumption struck so deep into New England or that infant mortality was so great too, that in the books on the rearing of children it was advised that their feet be often dipped in cold water and that they wear thin soled shoes, "that the wet may come freely to them."

With death making so many subtractions, the Puritans bad to do a little multiplication. It must have taken a good deal of scuffling with the elements to provide bread and moat and clothes for a family likes a small Sunday school. They didn't get enough to eat, it is plain, for the children were almost all rickety, and all had to ta.ke elaborate compounds of baked snails, mashed earthworms, herbs, hartshorn and strong ale to cure them. But the children were smart children. Phebe Bartletc was powerfully converted when she was 4 years old.

Jane Tnr- eli could tell Scripture stories before she was 2 years old, and before she was 4 she could say the greater part of her catechism, many of the Psalms, read distinctly and make pertinent remarks on many things she read. She asked many astonishing questions about divine mysteries. Cotton Mather took his little daughter Katy, aged 4, into his study and told her that ho was to die shortly and that she must remember all he said. He set before her the sinful condition of her nature and charged her to pray in secret places every day, and so on, with much more lugubrious matter of the same sort. He lived 30 years after he scared poor little Katy so.

the lively sort of time the Puritan children had. The poor little Puritan boys were not allowed to go swimming at all, and every titliingnian was strictly enjoined to keep them from it. Each tithingman had ten families under his charge, and if one may estimate that there were ten boys in each family the chances are that on a hot August day some one of those 100 young ones defied the law, its dread, -executor and the chances of going to a place where it is more than August all tine'year around, and no good swimming holes either. But the young ones danced, and they bad punch to drink. One little girl 8 years old wouldn't stay at her grandmother's house because she couldn't have wine to drink at every meal, and her parents upheld her in her conduct.

They had candy and gingerbread and oranges and pictured story books; but, alas, they were stories of the "Conversion and Holy and Exemplary Lives of Several Young Children," "The Life of Mary Paddock, Who Died at the Age of Nine," "Praise Out of the Mouths of Babes," and the likes of them!

Although 6he was not vain, this idea was displeasing to her. There was a trace of annoyance in her tone as she said: "And have you never been in love?"

They had to sit in tbe stocks, lost their votes and had a great made of "redd" cloth hung around their necks or sewed on their clothes. The recipes for fancy drinks were intolerably long and full of all the spices iu their shops and all the herbs of their gardens. Their simpler ones were rather messy things, one would think. Here is Landlord May's recipe for flip: "Mix four pounds of sugar, four eggs and a pint of cream, and let it stand for two days. Fill a quart mug two-thirds full of beer, put therein four great spoonfuls of the compound.

Then thrust into the mixture a hot loggerhead and add a gill of A popular drink in Salem was" wbis- tlebelly name! It was made of sour household beer simmered in a kettle, sweetened with molasses, filled with brown bread crumbs and drunk hot. For medicines the old Puritans had the awfulest messes. Sovr bugs and roses, and pounded coral, and toads caught in March and burned to a char, and ambergris were some of the drugs. Of course they were bled and physicked to the last degree. They used to make up parties or classes and go to a retreat, where they would all be inoculated for vaccinated, but inoculated with the real disease, There they "broke out" together, had the fever together, sweat together, scaled off together, and many a love affair sprang up amid such highly unromantic circumstances.

The greatest of all trials, one would think, was the way the neighbors all got into the sickroom and prayed all day long. It was no good the poor badgered creature telling them to hold their tongues and to let him alone. They kept at him till he told them to pray, and they fairly hectored him into heaven.
