quickly to her side and stopped TO lift her
up Into his arms; but even at his arms closed
around her she sprang quickly to her feet,
transformed into beautiful maiden. There
was binding flash of hight, a weird sound,
like the swishings of thousands of wings, and
Prince Noble stood In the great throne room
of a lordly palace, and by his side stood the
beautiful maiden, holding In her hand n jew
elled crown, and all around the room stood
noble lords and ladies and gallant knights
and their esquires.
throne room fioated down golden smoke,
and the smoke twisted and ourled itself into
great golden letters which read
Homage, do Homag e to the Noble Knight.

most worthy to rule over the Dominions OF
the White King. And be II known that |,
the White King, do bestow upon Prince No

all the country for a hundred leagues round

Il crown thee the brayest knight and the
noblest that ever lived" said the maiden,
placing the crown upon Prince Mobiles
head.
Thus It came about that the gentle and
brave Prince Noble became King over all
that country; and all his subjects were COM
PEELED henceforth to live honestly and to
do rightly; and the cruel forays of his stern
father, the Black Prince, were forever

batte-ax and sword and long lance and
heavy armor upon the table, and, throwing
the white cloak over his shoulders, walked,
all unarmed down the long hall toward the
great door where the yellow lion kept guard.
When midway between the table TO the door
he heard the plteous mewlngs OF cat, ana
looking down he saw milk-white kitten
crawling painfully toward him, the blood
dropping from wound In the side.
ALAS, poor creature, thou hast all unwlt-
tingly proven the sharpness of the non
teeth I will not leave thee. Thou shalt go
with me until can find place of safety Tor
thee and the prince stopped and lifted the
kitten up tenderly into his arms.
The lion, flashing his tall from side TO SIDE
and utterlng deep-mouthed, angry growls'
now orouched directly In front of the door
and fixed his eyes hungrly on the prince,
who, holding the white kitten In his arms
walked fearlessly toward him. Suddenly
with a roar that shook the walls OF the hall,
the huge beast sprang into the air straight
toward Prince Noble.
Then marvellous thing happened.
At the moment OF the spring of the lion
the little white kitten leaped from the arms
Of Prince Noble and met the lion In mid
air. yellow smoke rolled up to the cell
ing and the white kitten fell lightly TO the
floor, all unframed, and ran and euried IT.

Mrs Jones gave a vigorous shake to

them on the line where the family washing
tapped vlciously in the wind, then wrapping
her fat red hands In her apron she turned

His explanation was stopped short by an
impatient cuff on the ear. and then his
mothers portly figure disappeared through
the kitchen door, which slammed sharply
after her.
Two big tears rolled down over the
freckled cheeks of Josephus. He felt as II
his world had come to an end.
His mouth was puckered into hard knot;
there were no tears In his eyes now; his
mind was made up. He had stood the
taunts and jeers Of his companions rs long
as he could, and now that his mothers
kindly, good-natured face had frowned upon
him and she had actually boxed his ears he
could bear no more. He would lose himself
In the woods. He didn't care what became
Of him.
1t was a long way, and the cold gray
clouds had begun to sprinkle a few snow
fakes into the air when Josephus turned
from the road into the wood path. The dry
leaves rusted under his feet as he scuffied
his little copper-toed boots through them.
