 Certainly" answered Hi Malig. But what does that show?"
 "Show!' repeated King Homoiy. Why, it shows that it is only by accident that they were not born princesses. Besides, now that they are married to my sons, they are princesses."
 That part may be true. and I hope their Royal Highnesses the Princes will be very happy; but how about the second part of the prophecy, which says you are to give up the throne in their fayor?" urged the Chief Counselor and Astrologer Extraordi- nary. You surely know that when thing Ike that happens there Is usually n great deal of bloodshed and the country Is laid waste by famine and war"

 The King laughed at Hi Maligs scared race until his sides shook and he was purple Tn the cheeks. Why, certainly not" said he, when be had caught his breath; but I am going to give up the throne to them as soon as we reach Cordelette and let them rule over Nulrealm as joint and equal Kings. Do you think man can be King and attend properly to the candy business at the same time?"
 But Ill Malig had nothing more to say, and was silent until the procession came to the great tower. Here d rest was taken, and the Princes and the schoolmaster once more told the story of their long years within its walls and of how they set themselves free.

Each of his rays is divided into a great number of lesser arms, until the whole animal, when punched together, looks quite like wicker basket. A basket starfsh uses these arms to sweep the sea for food, and as he has very few amusements and monstrous appetite the arms are just the thing for him. He eats his dinner and his tangle oi arms take care of themselves.

The tie which keeps him attached to his birthplace is a stronger one than love it is a stem of hard plates or rings.

The MisIaid Prophecy: An Old Time Tale.

wick. "They are the three new Princesses of Nulrealm, and also the daughters of the Countess of Mulready, or rather Mrs. studi- much.'
 "Ah!" said the King, understanding his meaning at last. ''I very joyfully welcome them as such." And then he insisted on kissing them all round, which made the three beautiful sisters lovelier and rosier than ever.
 The Countess invited all the coartiers from Cordelette and all the great persons of Pear button to the wedding breakfast. Nor did the celebration of the marriages end at that, as feasting and games were continued for three days before the procession was formed to return to the Cordeette with the Princes and their brides, Studimueh and his Count ess, the Chief of the Bodyguard, Goodheart and his Griddletta. and Aramentale. Scarce ly had the order to march been given, after everybody had bade good-by to the kind peo- pie of PearbuttH- uno had taken part in the feasting anu games, than the raven, who, in the meantime, had struck up great friend ship with King Homojy, begged him to at tack the Witchs castle and make her and her daughter and the evil doers prisoners, and so prevent them from doing more wrongs to innocent persons The King at once agreed and sent in command of Hi Mafig 30 good soldiers to storm the castle, which

were to share equally in the government of Nulrealm. From the greatest in the land down to tho very least the people of Null realm obeyed the commands of King Ho moJy. and you would be astonished if were to tell you of the thousands of fine, plump turkeys and rabbits and birds and meats of all kinds that were set before them. Too, l could make your mouths water by mention ing the number of fat pies aud rich buildings that were served at the end of the feasts. As for the games. there were so very many different kinds played that 1t was tho work of 10 men to count the half of them.
 Late in tho afternoon all the noted persons in the Kingdom took their places in the beautiful hall where all the Kings of Null realm were crowned. And here King Ho- mojy gave up his crown and his Grand High Council declared Fantieo, Elitwick and Saladee to be First Second and Third Kings of Nulrealm.
 Once more the little boys ran after the bands and marching soldiers and cried "Hurrahi" Once more the grown-up folk smiled and laughed as they met and shook hands warmly. Once more the little girls sat in the doors and windows of the houses and played with brand-new dolls and brand-new toy dishes.
 "Hurrahl hurrahp cried everyone who had voice. "Hurrah for the three Kingsi Hurrah for the three most beautiful Queens ln the world! Down with propheeiesl"
 Again great bonfires were made at the corners of the streets and on the vacant lots, and fireworks were let of at night, and again, when all was over, everybody went to bed tired and happy.
 It was not long before everything in the Kingdom had quieted down to it's usual peaceful state, and the people were well used to the kind and wise rule of the three Kings The first thing they did was to do away with the office of Astrologer Extraor- dlnary and to forbid prophecies. This was much applauded by the Nulrealmians, to whom prophecies were a cause of much trouble as they generally are in this day to persons of other countries.
 Former King Homojy and former Queen Cuddlehoo set up their candyshop, and a beautiful place 1t was It was considered quite fashionable place, too, and was famed throughout the Kingdom for the ex. cellence of It's wares. Eli Malig, whose place

 As the wedding party left the church, keeping pace with the soft music that welled up from the organ and died gloriously away among the old rafters, and stepped out into the bright sunlight, which seemed to shine for them alone, a great clatter of horses hoofs was heard.

Mr. Hanna concluded his argument on tho
Nicaragua canal bill in the Senate yester-
day afternoon. He presented the oninions
OF elghty-three ship masters and pilots .s

AS to the possibilities of danger from,
seismic disturbances, he thought IT was
practically TN even thing between the two
routes. There was not enough danger
along either route to deter the United
States from building the canal cirher y,

stress upon the danger to the Nicarayua
route from volcanoes, and he referred m

Mr.. Hanna, amid laughter
Mr.. Hanna declared that If the construc-
tion OF an isthmian canal were not begun
this year it would not be his fault. He
repudlated absolutely insinuations against
the motives Of those who favored the PAN

on the Panama canal was along the lines

hoped that the work of construction would
