In the Line of
Succession
By JOHN D PARKER
There was ou- v a king who bud wev
j en sons and so \ i'ii daughter*. The sous
! only bad any cham-e of Inheriting the
i crown, am) there wan Imt a slight
; cham* for any of Hh-h> eTtrpt the
! crown prince doing so As for the
daughter* all the sons must die or
' otherwise i>e removed t?oforv e> en the
I oldest girl < -owtd he queen Neverthe
les< the king Insisted on all his sons
ami daughters taking mates of tlie
i blood royal
Now, the youngest ot the king's
daughter*, one day looking out through
i a window of Ihe |?l*ce, saw a young
haron caracoling liy on horseback and
was struck hy one of Cupid's shafts.
Remembering that sbe con Id marry
only a ptim-e of the blooil. straightway
the Injustice of Ihe matter stnick her.
itclng a fine scholar, with a taste for
mathematics, she sat down and began
j to compute her chances of ever com
ing to the throne. After covering sev
eral yards of paper with figures she
arrived at the conclusion that her
| chances of being a sovereign were but
one In several millions. So she went
to her father, with whom she was a
great favorite, and. finding him Id the
council room, said:
"Tapa. 1 have seen a young man. not
of royal blood, but a baron. whom 1
wish to marry."
"So, my daughter." replied the king,
"you cannot You must marry a
prince."
"Why Is that necessary?" asked the
girl
"Why Is it necessary? Why. because
*11 your brothers and all your sisters
might be removed and you would be
(jueen It is forbidden that a queen
should have a husband not of the blood
royal."
The prince** sent for the papers con
taining ber computations as to ber
chances of attaining the throne and.
laying them on the council table,
whkh. though ten feet lone. was com
pletcly roTWfd. Inrltpn her father to
iro over the figures with ber that be
might see what ch.ini-e there was that
the people would roqnlre her services
to govern them The king pot on bis
spectacles and. leaning over the papers,
began to study the calculation*.
The princess had assumed there was
one chance In five that her oldest
brother, the heir apparent, would die
and the crown would descend to the
next male In line The king admitted
that there was scarcely one chance In
five for that, since the crown prince
was very strong and healthy, as. In
deed, were all his children Then the
princess figured that the chances of the
second oldest son dying, too. were
greatly decreased And In this way by
a process of arithmetical progression
she went on to figure the decrease of
her chances of coming to the throne
The king took off his spectacles and
wiped them with his royal bandker
chief and said-.
"These figures, my daughter, are
based simply en the lives of your broth
ers and sisters But some of them are
married and have children who will in
herit before yon Therefore tf your
chances, figured on tbe first basis, of
coming to the throne are but otie in
several million*, on the second basis
tbey would be only one In several bil
lions or perhaps trillions I think It
may be safe for you to marry one not
of royal blood, but there Is a contin
gency yon have not considered. Sup
pose there should come earthquake,
war or pestilence that would sweep
away our whole royal family except
von Then you would be queen, and a
husband not of royal blood won Id be
Inadmissible."
The princess withdrew and In a
month returned to her father's with
eight strong men bearing a roll of pa
per on which she and fifty assistants
had figured the chances of all the
royal family being swept away by
earthquake, war or pestilence, and.
placing the roll on the floor, they be
gan to unroll It that the king might
see the result of the calculation. But
the king shrugged his shoulders and
ask<*l for the result. The princess
told him that tbe chances against her
becoming queen through earthquake,
war or pestilence were expressed by
thirty -nine figures, which was beyond
; anything that could be expressed In
. words.
Then the king told her that she
might marry the baron, and she was
so happy that she fainted for joy.
Now, tbe king k?red his daughter
very much, though it required thirty
nine figures to express the chances
against her succeeding him. and.
thinking that the young baron whom
she loved was necessary to bring ber
to herself again, sent a messenger
! po*t ha?te for him When he came he
; was ushered Into the presence of the
princess, not knowing why he had been
| sent for
Now. the princess, though bright at
figures, was not equal to the task of
] telling a young man who had never
?een her that she loved him and wish
ed him to marry her. The conse
qnence was that after trying for a
long while to find a way out ?f the
matter she dismissed him without tell
I tnc him why be had been sent for.
' Since she never found courage to de
dare her love the affair came to notb
' tng. But It was fortunate that It did.

were dflven to tbe home that bad been

the bouse during their al?sence. and

' bride and gmoin aliirht.-d. paid the

Mr. T>ntcher took out the night key and
i mounting the *tei>? uf the bouse liefore
him. attempted to efTei-t an entrance.
! The key dkln't work
It had hwn expected that the younp
couple wonM retnrn when tbe.v liked.
Co Into the bouse alone and mannge
every detail to Milt theinsclve*. There
fore there wan no light in the ball, and ;
! a* the number was placed on glass
j over the vestibule <loor a light waa
required to see It The consequence
waa that the conple were trying to get
! into a honse without being sure It waa
theirs. Mr Dutcber went out on to
the stoop and looked abont him, but
since all the bouses In the vicinity
were alike he didn't krarn much.
| "1 never knew on t of tbe?o fancy
! little keys to work," be said. "At any
I rate, this one doesn't. There's usually
a window sa?h loose somewhere !
I We'll try ttmt way *"
After exjiertmentlnj: awhile he round \
that one of the window* of the kitchen
i had Iwen eft unfastened. and all he
bad to do 'vms to ralw It and iralk to j
Then, opet Ing the door from the In
side. he adiiltted bis wife. They were
j very tired, and after * glance lb*
parlor and dlnlnc room, the furnishing
of which tbey admired. they went Hp
stairs. There was a bedroom on each
aide of the upper hall, the door of one
?Undine open It looked Inviting. and.
entering, they threw off their gar
ments. pot on their ntgbtrobea and
j went to bed.
When they awoke In the morning
; Mr. Dntcher thought he wonld get up
and use the bathtvoiai first. Opening
the bedroom door, he stood stock ?tHI
in astonishment. The door of the op
posite room stood opttn. and In it stood
a man also arrayed in . nlgbtciothes
locking at Mr Dn teller with as mncb
amazement as Mr Dntcher looked at
him.
j "Well, sirr said th?> mnn
"Well, alrP rei-ented Mr. Dntcher.
' "What are you doing in my bouse.
I sir?"
j "Tour house? What are yon doing
! in my house T"
At this point the face of a lady ap
j pea red In the doorway behind the man
! opposite, and. Mrs Dntcher having irot
out of bed to Investigate the cause of
j this strange conversation, there were
I two men and two women all In "even
! ing dress" looking at one another as If
i faced by some Inexplicable occurrence
I Then each lady, reallilng that ah? was
gated upon by a strange roan, gave a
little shriek and retreated from the
foreground.
"I demand an explanation," said the
man opposite, "of this unwarranted oc
cupation of a room In my house with
out my Invitation of consent.'
"And I demand to know who yon are,
sir. and why yon tiave come Into a
house that has been prepared for me
and my wife on our return from our
wedding trip."
"Then you are married T"
"Married: Of course I am-w* are
married Do yon mean to add inanlt
to perjury? I see My house having
boon unoccupied, yon have taken It
i upon yourself to use It for a nefarlons
j purpose "
"I have a mind. sir. to throw yon out
the window."
J "You'd better try It"
The two men glared at each other.
Mrs Dntcher. who meanwhile bad
gathered her wits, sang owt:
"What number Is this house?"
"Thirty-six," replied a feminine voice
opposite
"Oh. horron^^rtied Mrs. Dntcher.
j Thirty -si xT" exclaimed her husband
' "Thlty-slx Washington avenue."
i "My dear, sir." said Mr. Dntcher.
much agitated. "I fenr we have made a
mistake."
"If It's only a mistake I shall ex
etise yon. sir."
"Ijist night my wife and I came to
town from our wedding trip, and, anp
poking this house to 1* onr new home
and onr key not working"?
?*Of course your key didn't work
How the dickens corild yon expect It to
work on my front door?"
"I tell you I expected It to work on
my own front door. We will dress as
soon as possible and get out Immedi
ately."
The couple opposite retreated and
closed their door Mt. and Mra Dntcher
dressed, went down stain and met the
owners of the house. The iSce of each
wore a smile. Mr. itnd Mrs. DMrfcefa
faces did not wear a smile, but they
were Induced to sli down to a good
breakfast and before It was Bntahed
the party was rooting with laughter.
Then the couple who had irtnrned
from their honey nwoo went to tbelr
own home.
