A Kings Story

The first person whom Ulin met
after entering the cave was Ezabel
who stood by table upon which a
lamp was burning.
MY dear child. I was just coming
in search of you. We were anxious.
What-have you been in tears? Ulin,
what is it? What has happened?"
The maiden, in memory of the great
event of the evening, forgot the cause
Of fear that had been with her. 1t
was a secret she could not keep-a Sc
cret she had no wish to keep; and
resting her head upon Ezabel's shout

brow, ''he is worthy of the trust you
have reposed in him.
At that moment Abba come in from

gazed into Ulin's face moment, and
then, with a tear glistening N her eye,
she murmured:

AS Abba spoke, and before any reply
could be made, Julian came hurrying
into the cave. He was much excited
and Ben Hadad saw fear upon his
face such as had never been seen there
before.

The king of Damascus had grown
very old and very sour within those
last few days. Rage and chagrin had
SO shaken his frame that he seemed
stricken with palsy: and his voice,
from it's howlings and meanings, had
become hoarse and cracked. But he
had promise of sweet revenge. His
soldiers were upon the track of the
fugitives. and he believed they would
bring them back. 0, how he would
gloat over the sufferings Of his vic

addressing his minister, the fair, frail
Ulin must suffer for this. She is no
longer your child; shall not regard
her as such.
About bowed his head, and answered
that he was content.
Omar could not help noticing that
his friend was in trouble, and he took
the liberty to ask what had gone
wrong.
"Alas.' cried Horam. Everything
goes wrong" And he told how he had
put away all his wives for the daugh-
ter of About Cassem, and how she had
betrayed him and fed from him. And
then he told how he had once captur-
ed his dreaded enemy the Scourge Of
Damascus. and how the prize had
slipped through his fingers by means
of the treachery of his slaves.
''By my life" exclaimed Omar, "you
have been most sorely afflicted"
But the worst is yet to be told"
pursued Horam, clenching his hands,
and gnashing his teeth. "The robber
and the lady Ulin went off on the
same night, and l have every reason
to believe that she corrupted my
slaves to set him free. In fact, am
sure she did. I think they will be all
within my power by tomorrow. O.,

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning $1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive a box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-IO-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E,
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
II is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
LIST of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
%uts. but the contestant is not re-
uuired to purchase pkg. These let
ters are not to contain poetry, or fancy
fourishes, but simple, truthful state
ments of fact For illustration: A

unwise selection of food that failed to

you join the army of plain old COM
mon sense" and start in now. Then
after you have been or 3 weeks on
the Grape-Nuts training you write a
statement of how you used to be and
how you are now. The simple facts
will interest others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except
on permission, but we often tell the
facts in the newspapers, and when
requested give the names by private
letter.
There is plenty of time to get per-
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent in with the list of words, as the
contest does not close until April Both,
1906. So start in as soon as you like
to building words, and start in using

exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April 30th,

winners on application, in order tC
have proof that the prizes are sent as
agreed. The company is well known
all over the world for absolute fidelity
to its agreements and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on re-
ceiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel it useless

the great number of prlzes-(33D-
the curiosity of seeing how many
words can really be made up evening
after evening and the good, natural
fun and education in the competition,
II seems worth the trial; there is no
cost, nothing to lose and a fine oppor-
tunity to win one of the many boxes
of gold or greenbacks.
We make the prediction that some
who win prize of gold or greenbacks
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than wagon full
of money prizes.
