THE WHITE KING"
At the far end of the hall was a great
glistening door Of wrought gold and sill
yer, and before this door walked back
and forth an enormous yellow lion, with
head down and uttering deep, angry
growIs.
Prince Noble. when he came to this

he laid his great battle-aX and sword

When midway between the table TO the

the boy frowned and loked very cross.
What do you do?' said the woman
to the girl.
The moon girl looked lovingly at the
boy.

Love were not with him." and she
caught the boys hand. and the frown on
his funny face instantly vanished and
he smiled back at her bTavely.
The man looked at the woman; her
| lips moved silently and he could see
that she was saying, Let us keep them
with u.s.
He sighed and said: tAh, no, Work
is hard,''
But" she whispered. "you can't have
Love If you send Work back to the
moon"
The man looked long at the woman,
and he knew he must have Love, so he
said: We'll, let us keep them" And
the oon-children were so happy with
the earth people they never noticed that
the moon was rising and that the Man
in the Moon was looking down on them,
but played and talked until it was too

Prince Noble sprang quickly TO the side
of the little girl and threw a protecting
arm around her
The child looked up gratefully into his
face and said: Il thank thee. Come thou
with me. I VIII show thee the road thou
art seeking" and she took Prince Noble
by the hand and led him to a great door

was a white mark, and on this white
mark the girl raped sharply three times
and at the third rap, with great groan-
ing, the door swung open.
A flock of bats darted out. there was a
rush Of foul air, and an was blackpess
within; nevertheless, Prince Noble step
ped quickly through the stone doorway,
and the great door swung behind him. In
the far corner of this stone dungeon he
saw candle burning dimly, and on a
bed of straw lay an old, white haired
woman, bound with great chains to the
stone floor AS he looked the woman
moaned
Il bring rescued" and Prince Noble ran
quickly TO her side and stopped to lift
her UP into his arms but even as his
arms closed around her she sprang
quickly 10 her feet, transformed into a
beautiful maiden. There was a binding
flash OF light, a weird sound, like the
swishing of thousands of wings, and
Prince Noble stood in the great throne
room of lordly palace, and by his side
stood the beautiful maiden, holding in
her hand a jeweled crown, and all
around the room stood noble lords and
ladies and gallant knights and their
esquires.
Then from the golden dome of the
great throne room floated down a golden
smoke, and the smoke twisted and curl
ed itself into great golden letters, which
read:
Homage, do Homage TO the Noble
Knight. who of all knights hath proven
himself the most worthy to rule over
the Dominions of the White King And
be il known that l, the White King, do
bestow upon Prince Noble this castle
and all that in II is; and that /, the
White King, do make him ruler over all

main to render unto him true homage
and obedience.

maiden. placing the crown upon Prince
Mobiles head.
Thus II came about that the gentle
and brave Prince Noble became King
over all that country; and all his sub
jects were compelled henceforth to live
honestly and to do rightly; and the cruel
forays of his stern father. the Black
