lemon trees; a,ld he did not meet

Very quickly then did his feeling OF
gratitude turn to rage, and he began
to pluck the oranges and lemons and
to throw them wastefully on the
ground.
Imagine h!s surprise, if you can!
The moment the fruit touched the

Pedro and the Prince
BY ISABEL MOORE
Copyright, by Short Stories Co., Ltd.)

There was once a mighty King who
had an only son; and opposite the pal
ace lived poor man who also had an
only son. The son of the King and
the son of the poor man were of iden-
tically the same age and the name of
each was Pedro.
One day the Prince told his father,
the King, that he very much desired
to travel, but that he would not be
content to do so unless Pedro his
neighbor could go with him.
Whereupon the King ordered two
of the best and finest horses in the
army to be prepared, one for the
Prince and one for Pedro.
They travelled much, these two boys,
into many beautiful and far-distant
lands; and one day great adventure
happened to them.
They had dismounted for a rest in
the middle of the day, and the Prince
told Pedro to mind the horses while
he should 60 to search for a spring
from which they could drink.
Pedro waited and waited, but the
Prince did not return. Very much dis
tressed, Pedro ran everywhere, seek
ing him, but, not finding him, Pedro
at last returned to the nearest city
and, as he was passing by pond
where there were many washerwom.
en-, he heard much laughter among
them and they were saying:
"How foolish he is; he thought he
was going to accompany the Prince
and that he would in time be recon-
pensed by the King for his services!"
Presently, in his despair, as he sat
on the bank of the stream watching
them slap and rinse the clothes in the
running water, Pedro asked them if
they knew anything at all about the
Prince, or where he might be hidden.
Again they laughed at him, but one
of them, taking compassion on his
trouble, babe him go to an old palace
that was close by.
This he did Immediately, feeling
very grateful to- the old woman, and
entered the garden of the palace and

might say-and did not respond to

In the death of Grandma Susan
Pillbeck. which took place unexpect-
eddy last Thursday, Betzville lost one
zens, and by order of the city council
a Grape streamer was tied to the Pill
beck box in the Betzville post office.
AS there has been very little doing in
black goods in Betzville lately the
Bankrupt Store next the post Office
supplied the Grape at 'half-price. The
Bankrupt Store is one of Betzville's
oldest and most enterprising mercan-
tile concerns, and is conducting a
mourning sale all this week, in mem
DRY of Grandma Pillbeck, who used to
trade there, Anyone expecting to
mourn in the near future should take
advantage of this sale.
When interviewed as to the cause
of Grandma Pillbeck's sudden demise,
Orlando Pillbeck, her son, Informed
our reporter that she was simply worn
to fragile. AS he remarks in the
graceful obituary poem, published on
another page, right under Uncle Ash
dod Clute's hog and cattle sale adver-
tisement:
Grandma Pillbeck has gone and went
Where the angels brightly dazzle,
Getting to bed her strength 1t spent
And wored her to FRAGILE
In this connection we wish to re-
mark that Ephron Quat, proprietor Of
the Betzville Furniture Emporium,
says that If Orlando had opened up a
little and had bought grandma one of
the patent spring beds he is now
showing, she would have lasted much
longer, these beds being bouncy, and
more resilient than the Stat bed on
which Grandma Pillbeck frazzled away
to eternity.
1t seems that some years ago Grand
ma Pillbeck read in paper that over
sleeping in the morning could be cas-
lily avoided, and as she was regular
oversleeper, she took the article to
heart. It said that 1t was only nee
essary to get a clock, and before re-
firing, set the hands to point to the
desired rising time, and stare at them
long and we'll, and when the hands
reached that position in the morning
the sleeper would unfailingly awaken.
So Grandma Pillbeck got tin clock
for 81 cents and tried it. She set the
hands at six o'clock, and stared at
them for ten minutes, and then set
the clock at the proper time and went
to bed, and. sure enough, at exactly
six o'clock the next morning she
awakened. She was delighted, and
did 1t again the next night. and the
next morning she again awakened at
six o'clock precisely. After that she
kept it up regularly, and 1t never
failed. For about three years she
gazed at six o'clock every night. and

ing, and by that time she had ac-
quired the habit of rising whenever
the hands of the clock pointed to six.
She found that she had looked at the
clock SO often that 1t was no longer
necessary to look at It before going to
bed-whenever the hands pointed to
six she had to Jump out of bed.

ma Pillbeck was sleeping peacefully
