several OF these King ChaIuian took part,
and each time h- anters the arena he looked
al the box Of Queen Millice to see If she
were observing MIN. II was not necessary
for him TO look at his own box, in which
Lista sat. She Watched everything, and
WAS generally more excited and clapped her
hands louder than anybody else. The young
King was determined that if he could hel lp
u, Millice should not see him come out sec
ond best again. He had never BE- ore given
any thought TO her opinion. for he had never
before had reason TO suppose she cared
whether he succeeded or failed in anything.
Thus animated Chamian Vaulted higher
than ANYBODY else not a Kobol-lander, and
in hurling javelin at mark he surpassed
all competitors. LiSta loudly applauded
his success, and wanted to go into the arena
and hurl javelin herself, but he uissuaded
her.
There was then grand fencing match, in
which unicorn entered the ring and chal-
lenCrd all comers.
After this spirited animal, with his long
tapering horn, had disconnected some of the
hest swordsmen o! Nustyria ard Tanobar,
King Chamian entered the lists against
him. and by the rapid and skillful play of
his stout blade not only waried off all the
attacks Of the unicorn, hut at last forced him
Millice stood up, clapped her hands and
waved her handkerchief. This was con-
test fit foy a king.
In some of the games Chamian took no
part, and throwing the great hammer was
one of these. There were many competitors
entered in this game, but they did not all
have a chance, tor the giant Jirg swung
and hurled the hammer with such force that

sang. and then descended into the water
with such a tremendous splash that the
Jour sisters on The rocks were nearly fright
ened out Of their wits, and the dryads in the
grove above, who ran out from their tree
trunks when they heard the great noise, were
all we'll wet BY the descending shower of
dr0rs
The tug of war next followed, in which a
great number OF Kcbol-landers took hold OF
ore end of long cable, and the athletes
IRON Il2obar and Nustyria grasped the
OTher. As this was a sort of international
contest everybody was wildly excited over
il. The hobol- landers would, undoubtedly,
have won the victory had it not been Tor the
bright thought of judge from Tanobar,
who, seeing how matters were likely to go,
hastily made out naturalization papers for
three wild giants, who had just arrived and
were standing among the spectators. When
luesS SiSdb marry fellows became CIIlLeus Ol
Tanobar and seized the end of the rope the
struggling mass of Kobol-landers were
dragged over the dividing line in less than
20 seconds. 1t is needless to say that this
Judge obtained preferment.
When the exciting contest had been fin
ished a mounted herald, clad in crimson and
gold, rode into the arena, and, after blow
ing his trumpet, proclaimed in a loud voice
that the sports oil tine day would conclude
with grand performance in mid air, in
which the valiant and fearless Prince Alto.
Of Nustyria, would ride q bareback griffin.
This announcement created great sensation.
for no one who knew Prince Alto had sup
posed that be was a man who would under
take such an unheard of feat.
The Prince now entered the arena, and
bowed to the ladies in the two royal boxes.
Then he approached Queen Millice, and
asked her it be had her good wishes
