had succeeded in dispersing the most formidable ones among them. As soon as he learned that a stranger had taken the palace opposite to his he guessed that here was another dangerous rival and he tried to become acquainted with him. At first he knocked at the door, but Jean did not open. Then he bribed the steward, since he was the only per- son who had access to the palace and through him he learned what he wanted to know.
 On the following day, which was the day before that on which the prize was to be awarded, he instructed the steward to unscrew the lock of the main door, and at nightfall he entered Jeans resi- dence disguised as an old woman. When he reached the threshold of the workshop he looked through the keyole and saw Jean standing erect and heard him giving such orders as:-"Rivet that rod; arrange that cluster of leaves" Yet there were no workmen in the shop. and the work was being done by a host of huge rats. which scampered to and fro over the floor. Mautravers knocked.
 Who are you?' asked Jean.
 Princess Mitzis lady-in- waiting" was the reply. "She has sent me to you.''
 Don't open. Don't open," whispered the dwarfs to Jean, who loved the Prin- cess, but he paid no heed and opened the door. Mautravers at sight of the crown was very near betraying himself. but quickly recovered his composure and said:--"What admirable work! Is it in- tended for, tomorrow's competition?'
 Yes" replied Jean.
 "Then you will surely be the winner,' said Mautravers, flor the crown is of priceless value. Truly the Princess will be very happy, for she has seen you at the window of your palace and is in love with you. Moreover, she desires to speak to you before the competition takes place.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-01-10

and I want to know if you are willing to meet her at the palace which she has selected"
 Jean. Simple Jean." believed every word that was uttered and said that he would go.
 "Then go tomorrow at daybreak." said Mautravers, "by way of the city's ram parts to the western gate and the Prin- cess will meet you therc."
 Jean accompanied the poor old woman as far as the door and then assumed his work, but the dwarfs knew we'll that a trick was being played on him, and "Go not to the ramparts," they said to him over and over again. Jean, however, was in love and therefore credulous: he could not imagine that any one would deceive him. When the dwarfs had left him he put on his best coat and after carefully bolting the door of the palace started at daybreak for the ramparts. At the same moment Prince Mautravers, with gang of armed men made his way into the deserted palace and stole the crown, which lay completely finished in its case of gilt morocco leather.
 Having secured the booty Mautravers hastened to the ramparts, where poor Jean was waiting for his ladylove. There his armed men beat the unfortunate fel- low unmercifully and left him for dead.
 A few hours later Jean regained his senses The cathedral bell was ringing the noon hour, and that was tho very time at which the competition was to begin. Jean, bruised and sad at heart. dragged himself to his palace and found everything in 1t turned topsy-turvy. Then he knew that he had been tricked, and without delay he went toward the palace of the king.
 At that very moment the suitors were displaying their crowns in the presence of the assembled multitude. Prince Mau- travers was the last. and when he show ed his present. which was Jeans crown. a murnur of admiration ran through the crowd. Princess Mitzi, however. was sad, because she did not love Mautrav- CTS.
 Jean suddenly leaped on tine platform and cried :-"Ths0 man Is a thief: he has stolen the crown which I fashioned for the Princess" But Mautravers replied:- What does this crazy beggar mean? Take him away" So Jean was thrust out of sight, while Mautravers was pro- claimed the winner of the first contest.
 Jean returned to the forest. and he was even more sad than on the former occa- sion. When 1t was dark he found once more the dwarfs' headquarters, and they were waiting for him there, but were not in good humor. You did not heed my advice" said the King of the Dwarfs, 'and therefore you are punished. AL however, is not yet lost. Go back to your palace and design a wedding dress. With the help of our fairy sisters we will weave it for you and 1t shall be of the finest thread. But do not. however. open your door for any one"
 Jean went back in good spirits. There f1sII hafnrA ha second contest was to take place. He worked day and night. and on the third night the dwarfs came and looked at his de- signs and then held council together. They opened the wipdow and straightway a thousand fairies entered the chamber bearing flakes of snow. Next these fair les arranged their looms and wove so
