And the Queen, in fact, sent her OWE
confidential attendant, Gachano, to
Jauja on this important mission; but
day after day went by, no Gachano re-
turned although summoned. Another
attendant was sent, and, at last, third,
but all remained in the same extraor-
binary manner.
Then there was nothing for it but to
tell the King and see if he could explain
the affair.
"What does it mean?" said the King.

will give private instruction to my plen-
ipotentiary in Jauia so that he will send
me full information as to the dishes
which my august ally prefers.
King Perico was as good as his word,
and few days later received a dispatch
announcing that the favorite dish Of
his Jaujian Majesty was a compete Of
apples.
Now apples were very rare in King
Perico's dominions. But a basketful
was finally obtained, and the Queen
locked them up carefully down cellar,
out of the way of their greatest enemies,
the children.
The King of Jauia at last arrived, and
was received with due ringing of bells,
Examinations, bull-fghts and kissing Of
hands.
And apropos of hand kissing, it may
here be remarked that the courtiers
showed each other aside to kiss the
Queens hand, and then would lick their
lips, so often had she hand in some
dainty dish or other.
The eve of the great banquet to be
given to his Jaujian Majesty, the King
was in his study bordering over two
things first, how to form a good Cab
met, and second, how to conclude with
the King of Jauja treaty for the ex-
tradition of criminals, in which it was
to be stipulated, to avoid trouble al
home, that the criminals arrested
should be hung and all.
While he was deep in these weighty
considerations, who should appear but
the Queen, crying like calf and tear
ing her hair out by handfuls.
''Oh! Perico of my soul, we are lost. !"
''Well, what is the matter now?"

And so saying, the King opened the
door for the Queen, who went out cry
ing inconsolably, for her hope of glory
had depended upon the compete of APP
Piles.
King Perico was so much occupied
with grave affairs of state that he never
once thought of his wife's disappoint.
ment, and the next day at dinner time
was surprised to see her appear perfect
ly serene, or rather, NAV say, cav and
complacent.
The great banquet was begun.
The King of oJauja's eyes sparkled
with JOY at the sight of the first dish.
- -. 81 am afraid your Majesty will have
little appetite tor our dishes after those
of Jauja," said King Perico, ''since IL
point of good eating Jauja bears away

"Your Majesty is in error. In Jauia
we suffer torments when we eat.n
"But man alive, don't they say thai
everybody eats and drinks and nobody
works"
Perfectly true.''
''Then l don't understand
Heavens! How dull your Majesty is
As nobody works in Jauia, every thing
has to be eaten without cooking

"Apropos of projects aud works O

The one I lay the most upon is tina

THAT can not be, my friend
"And why not?'
"Why, we do not work in Jauia.n

While this and similar conversation
went on, the King of Jauia eat like 6

with pride, and was wild to say that she
was the author of the dainties which his
Majesty found so much to his liking, but
she restrained herself until there should
be lifting opportunity to drop her in.

This opportunity was afforded by the
appearance at table of magnificent
compete of apples, which brought from
King Perico cry of astonishment, and
