and of the island On which he lived.
When he finished the princess gave
him food and drink, and then told him
of his tasks, which he must finish In
one year.
At the end of the. year, the prince
came back to her and told her that
he had done as she wished
Then Florizel told her of his love and
asked her to be his wife, but the prin-
cess said she would never marry UNI
til she could find a man who could
tell her a name for her red flowers. 1t
must be one that she wished them to
have. So she called all the men to-
gether and asked them to each give
her a name for the red flowers that
would suit them. So every man gave
her a name but she did not like any
of them.
Then she sent for Prince Florizel
and said:
What would you name the flowers If
you were me?"

ton, so he turned away his face, livid
with anger. To be thus treated by
persons so far under him he could not
understand why. AS he was thus med
itating one of the princess attendants
stepped up to him and asked what
made him sad. He said he wanted to
know why he could not have his own
way.
The attendant then said to him: ''She
has fallen asleep and will sleep thus
until some beautiful, noble and unset
fish prince shall awaken her."
ST will go forth and win my fame
and then come and awaken her." re-
piled the prince when his anger sub
sided.
So he went away, and one bright day
he was wandering through a forest
when he came upon lion moaning in
pain. He stopped and saw a large
stick in his paw. He was about to
turn from it in disgust, not wishing to
dirty his hands, when he remembered
the princess, and he pulled the stick
from the lions foot.
1t seemed to him he heard some
one say softly: "One good deed ac-
complished.'
One day about a month afterward
the prince and his retinue were partak-
ing of their evening meal An old beg
gar, his wife and four children came
up ana asked LOT IOOu. he was dDOul
to strike the old fellow when he re-
membered, and he babe his servants to
give the beggar food to last several
weeks. After many, many like adVen-
lures to try his selfish nature he went
back one day to the princess, who had
grown into his heart. AS soon as he
came she awakened, and when she saw
him she cried out:
"Oh. nv prince. my prince, / knew
YOU would overrule that selfish nature
of yours. You have also overruled my
heart"
So he married her amidst great pomp
and splendor and took her home to
his own land. But sorrow awaited
him there. His father and mother both
were dead, but in his new found wife
and conquered nature he soon over
came his grief
His people loved him now as much
as they dreaded him before, and they
lived happily forever after.

"Yonder stands the castle, and the
princess, whose parents died lately, re-
fuses to marry her cousin. We all love
her dearly, but her cousin will kill her

These words were spoken by a
peasant, and he was telling them to
the selfish prince.
"She will never marry him, for am
going to prevent it," roared Prince
Florizel
So he returned home one fine day
much to the surprise of the king and
queen. But he left much sooner than
they expected, being followed by thou
sands of soldiers. He walked the deck
like a mailman, telling them to hurry
when they were going at madden
ing speed.
Reaching the island of peoples he
sent a messenger to the castle with
message. 1t said that if the prince
and his men had not left the island at
midnight, at sunrise there would be
war between them.
Prince Glucko was greatly surprised,
for he even had not known that
stranger was on the island So the
messenger brought back the note, say
ing he would not leave his castle and
