ally sighted 1t on the shore. Swooping
down with shrill cries, she caught 1t In
her claws and rose to her nest. The
prince, who was bound to the young
bird, of course, went, too.
The next was a dark cavern In the
very summit of the rock, right among
the clouds. As soon as the prince felt
his feet touch the ground he hastily cut
the cords that bound him to the bird
and glided silently into h other end OF
the cavern.
There amid-ghastly skeletons and re-
mains of awful feasts, he saw the pre-
cious parchment. Leaping forward, he
caught 1t up and pressed It to his heart.
No sooner a he secured the paper
than he saw the genie standing before
him.
"You have done WELL" rumbled the
old familiar tone, Princess Corisande
is yours"
In a moment Prince Nohamid was
standing by his castle. rubbing his eyes
to assure himself that It was not all a
dream. Remembering the genie's last
words, he then rushed away to again
plead his cause to the princess.
And the genie's words came true.

aware that the sun seemed to have
ceased shining. Raising his head. he
beheld a terrible bird above him. It's
wings were as big as sails; each wicked
talon was as long as six fingers: its
beak was long and sharp and pointed;
the head was massive n shaped like
that of an owl.
Hastily grasping his bow, the prince
shot an arrow at the bird with all his
strength, but though 1t struck the
black, glossy plumage of the bird, 1t
broke as though made of glass.
With horrible cries the bird pounced
upon him. seized him in its talons.

The prince plunged into the water

he was barely able to swim to land.
He rested In the boat, discouraged
but not yet daunted.
Just then he saw the bird leaving the
nest accompanied by her brood of little
ones. Fitting another shaft to his bow,
he shot once more. This time the arrow
struck one of the young birds, last in
line, and stunned 1t so that 1t fell on
the shore just by the boat.

full Princess Corisande had re-
fused, for the eighth time, to marry
him. So you cannot wonder that he
was mournful.
Slowly and re~hectively he gazed down
Into the dark waters that bathed the
base of the high cliff by which the
royal castle stood.
All at once lie heard a rushing of
wind behind him. Turning. he saw a
horrible giant of immense size bran

"Weu, who are you?" demanded the
prince, when he had recovered some
what from his establishment.
IT am a genie!" Numbered the giant,
In tones that rumbled long after he
had spoken.

for you would be killed instantly by

So saying. the genie vanished as mys-
teriously as he had appeared. leaving
behind him the ring of which he had
spoken.
While bordering over this TRANCE
happening the prince saw approaching
from the distance a little boat. When
It reached the base of the cliff 1t rested
upon the water.
The prince, without hesitating. seized
the ring left by the genie and climbed
down the cliff into the boat, which i'm
mediately moved off of its own accord,
heading for the open sea.
On and on the boat sailed until the
prince could see OF the horizon the
great rock described by the genie.
The boat grounded ashore inc he
leaped cut.
Not a green thing was to be seen on
