calendar of her husband. I'VE might
inquire of the princess" he sug-

SO they did. The princess told them
how as a baby her child had been
sent to be taken care of by some dis
tant relative. Then two years later
she went to get her and she was gone.
Where, nobody knew.

her clothes, which turned out to be
the same as those on Dixie's baby
clothes.

her friends she was surrounded with
every luxury.

The princess was very much sur
prised at Dixie's words and she could
not rest until she heard DiXie's story.
So the princess and Dixie went into
the parlor and sat down and this is
the story Dixie told:
Il was picked up by a ship the first
day [ was put afioat. The people on
this boat were Englishmen and they
We're very dear friends of the king
of England
THE king and queen of England
had lost baby girl a short time be-
fore and so the people took me with
them.
They took off my clothes and
wrapped me in a soft warm blanket
and put me in bed where l went to
sleep. When they took me up they
gave me milk and left me in the
blanket as there were no other little
folk aboard.
when We got to England they i'm
mediately took me to the king and
queen, where 1 was left for two weeks.
In this time the king and queen grew
so attached to me they kept me and
was brought up in the palace. l had
a private governess, nurse, dear lit
tie playmate when l was big enough
to play and a private teacher.
"The king and queen gave me the
name of Calendar, for they thought
it very pretty
"I went through the best schools in
England and l went to Germany to
study and now I am in America go
ing through the best schools here and
under the name of Miss Calendar.
There was a letter in the box in
which I was found giving the name OF
Saycuha San, so l am probably your
lost daughter"
There was a happy rejoicing and
Dixie went with her parents around
the world and to England The king
and queen were sorry to give her up.

The princess face frightened as she
said with smile, "Then you may be
my daughter. Do you remember mnch
of your childhood?"

Dixie. but / do remember how | USED
to play on the sand by the water, when
I was a little girl l lived in large
house where there were many other
children. The ladies were always very
kind to me there. one day lady came
and took me aWay-far away. She took
me on a train and I remember riding
for a long time and finally came here'

eyes.
The town in which Dixie had lived
when she was a little girl was found to
be a little fishing port on Newmans
hay which is in Canada. 1t seemed
certain that Dixie was the daughter OF
the princess.
Dixie was taken to the little town on
Newman's bay TO see If she recognized
II. She did not remember the town
but she remembered the rocky point
where she used to play.
Other important facts were obtained
and it was finally decided that the
princess was DiXie's mother
The Callenders were very glad that
Dixies parents had been found, al
though they loved her dearly and hated
to part with her.
Dixie was taken to another part of
the United States. She was always
happy and loved her parents as though
she had been living with them all her
life
