IN the latter part Of the fifteenth
century there was born to the
king and queen Of Isleania a boy.
He was christened Leon Ferdin-

hood he was so good that his peo-
pie called him prince Bob-Up-
Serenely." He was of a happy dis
position and always had a pleasant
word for everybody. His father,
Pedro x, was a cruel king, and his
subjects looked forward to the
time when the prince would come
into his possessions. Once while
playing in the palace gardens, he
noticed ragged urchin peeping
through the gates. He called the
little fellow in, and hearing his
pitiful story, begged his father to
let the boy remain. They were
brought up together, having the
same masters and sharing the same
joys and sorrows.

years old his father died and he
