was coming!
Bonny, adorable Prince Robin!
On came the splendid phalanx Of
guardsmen, followed by rigid infantry
men in measured tread. The great
coach of gold, with it's half score Of
horses, rolled somberly beneath na-

at his best speed until they came up
with better beasts or reached the city
gates. They climbed up to the seat,
and the tortuous journey began. The
farmer trotted beside the wheel nearly
all of the way, descanting warmly in
painful English on the present condi-
ton Of things in the hills.
1.-The rascals have made way with
the beautiful Miss Tullis. She is the
American lady stopping at the castle.

at the mention of the name, a sus-
picious CLEAN in his eyes.

was no mistaking the angry scowl.

you are, get out of my Cart
