10 do, and he almost always surceeded IN
what he tried to do. He had pluck and
patience. two things that unite all the
hard knots and do all the hard work In
this world. After he had thought long
time about the Changeabie Princes. and
had learned all he could about her. he
made up his mind to go and see her for
himself But the Prince never began
anything until he was thoroughly ready .
and that was another reason why he
always succeeded
So when he had collected his train ri
attendants. and prepared himself with
beautiful presents. he went - visit very

nobody could remember Wbel she Wa
Young, and 40 wise that nobody could re-
member when she had been foolish, and

thoroughly hated HIM.
