10 RINCE ARIEL was sitting by the
roadside, unfolding his provisions.
He was Disguised with the con-
tinual interference of his governess,
and, having read the Arabian Nights
and Stanley Weyman, he had decided
to become a soldier of fortune. To that
end he had brought with him two
sponge cakes and a bottle of ginger
beer, and here he was five miles from
home.
A peddler approached carrying a
pack. "Mornin', guv'nor," he said,
you don't want no bootlaces, buttons,
pins, needles, nor muffin. do your"
You're quite right said the Prince.

The peddler came closer and lowered
his voice. "Ah, but these are not or

only to put on these laces, press these
buttons, and you will be carried ny
where you wish quicker han winking.
Here, you shall have them for a drink
of ginger beer"
"This." said the Prince, holding up
the bottle, lis a fine old waited ginger
beer, fine bouquet, supplied to all the
nobility and gentry--it says so on the
label; and if you think you're going to
get it for your mouldy old bootlaces
you're mistaken"

he quickly changed his own shoelaces
for a pair of the peddler's,

Calipl:."
My world! What was happening? The
prince felt a rush and sweep of wind,
and looking down saw the earth at an
immense distance from him. 'Oh-oh-
it's real after all. l wonder if he's got
my ginger beer" was the thought that
flashed through his mind. What was
this now? A country he had never
seen; slim spires and golden domes
and palm trees. Crash! M he sat
dazed on the ground in the centre of a
magnificent palace. All around him
were men in long robes and turbans,
and black slaves with fans were stand
ing at the back of one on a throne in
the centre.

him; the bootlaces brought me-"

the caliph. Every stranger must wres-
