OF course the old man couldn't tell; |
but day after day the queer boz drove !!
him nearly crazy with that question. |
Finally, one day the queer boy brIbed |
sixteen of his schoolnlates, by Offering /!
to treat them to lemonade, to go with |
him and persuade the old man to tell |
them who did invent or discover lem !
onade As the old man had the rhleu- |
matism and couldn't run away, he told |
them 10 sit down on tho grass and he !
would tell them Of the discovery OF
lemonade in the PARKWAY Country. His
story ran on this wise. x
A venerable Wizard lived there, who
had such a shocking bad memory that
he forgot all his tricks aud became very
poor. One morning hetook his donkey
Thistle and rode away to the East 70

he had been kind, and the Kings chief
cook, Benoni, whom he had cured Of
the measles. Benoni promised to be
| kind to Alden, and toSk him to the
palace.
Several years after the venerable
Wizards departure the Kings usual
summer fever came ON him worse than
ever before. The Kings young and
beautiful daughter, the Princess, sent
men and letters everywhere Offering I'M

Kings thirst: but moth ng .etfectssal was

royal keeper of the King bootjack, was
one day seated on the back palace wall
i thinking of the poor King. when he saw
IN old man covered with dust riding
toward him on a weary donkey. Alden

greeted him, but he was not sure of the
donkey. 80

With the help of Bcndni, Alden then
took him where the King lay sick
Asking for goblet Of ice water, the
venerable Wizard threw back his tat
tered cloak, and from lOng-necked,
peculiar shaped flask poured into the
goblet a quantity of thick. whitish
liquid. 81.
Don't drink ritr' shouted the very,
learned doctors, but the King amptied
the goblet in a twinkle. So much re-
freshed was he that lie wiiirled the
empty goblet three times around his
head, and, before the terrified doctors
