He BRAVE STUDENT WHO WAS FORCED TO BE A KING

the fortress They all went in and
settled down as IL it were their own,
and all went on very well for two
years and he really began to believe
that he in fact, was king, when sud
denly one day the fortress began to
move and turned around and around
very quickly. The student was down
cast and went up on the battlement
of the fortress and wandered about In
great sorrow. Presently he came across
an old woman, who asked him:
Whats the matter with your ma
jesty?"
HIM! The matter is. old woman"
replied the student, that / am not
king and yet l am compelled TO be
one" And then he told her his whole
history up to that time.
There's nothing in that. my son..
said the old woman: "be thankful that
you have not tried to keep your secret
from me- l am the queen of magic,
and the most formidable enemy Of the
dragon with seven heads; therefore,
this is my advice; Get loaf made at
once, and let this loaf be placed in
the oven seven times with other loaves,
this particular loaf each time to be put
in the oven the first and to be taken
out last. Have this loaf placed outside
the fortress gate tomorrow, without
fail When the dragon with the seven
heads is coming 1t will be such charm
against him that he will never trouble
you again, and the fortress will be left
to you with all that belongs to it,"
The student had the loaf prepared as
ne was told and when the clock struck
1 after midnight the bread was al
ready placed outside the fortress gate.
AS the sun rose, the dragon with seven
heads came straight towardSthe fortress
gate but he was met by the loaf, who
addressed him thus:
stop. I'm on guard here and with
out my permission you may not enter;
if you wish to come in, you must first
suffer what / have suffered"
Well" said the dragon, i've made
up my mind to enter, so let me know
what ordeals you have gone through"
The loaf told him that when it was
a seed 1t was buried in a field that had
previously been dug up; then rotted
sprouted and grew; ii had suffered
from cold, heat, rain and snow, until
it ripened; it was then cut down, tied
into sheaves, threshed out, ground
kneaded into dough and then seven
times running they had put in in
If you can stand all this" con-
cluded the loaf. then I'll let you in.
but on no other condition."
The dragon, knowing that he could
not stand all this, got so angry that he
burst in his rage and perished The
student from that day became lord of
the fortress. and after the death of his
wife's parents became king of two
lands and if he has not died yet he
reigns still
If l knew that / should fare as well
as that student l would become a stu
dent this very blessed day.

very well for about a week, but one
day Father looked out of the window
and saw right ahead Of the airship

fired at them. Some were killed, but
there were many left. One big one
went on top of the ship and began
pecking at the gas bag until he broke
it. My brother had to go on top of
the airship and fix the bag or else the
ship would have gone down.
A few days later looked at the ther-
mometer and saw that 1t was is de-

furs. / then looked out of the window

Ice on the ground. Several weeks
passed by but one day my father said
that II was cold that we must have
reached the North Pole, so we lowered
our ship.
When we landed on the ground we
saw many Eskmos coming toward our
ship with sleds. They grabbed us and
tied us to the sleds. Then they hitched
some big dogs TO them and the dogs
pulled us to big ice cave. The Eski-
mos gave us something TO eat and we
went to sleep.
During the night an Eskimo woman
came up TO us with a lamp in her hand
and woke us up. She told us TO go with
her, because the Eskimos were going
to kill us. She brought us TO our ship
and told us to hurry away or the saw

He had no trouble with the peas this
time, for he had tied them up in the
corner of his handkerchief as he picked
them up from under the bed. The
spy reported to the king next morning
that the traveller slept soundly all
night.
The royal family now firmly believed
that the student was simply disguised
as such, but in reality he was prince.
They tried to persuade him that he
was a prince, and insisted on calling
him prince or your royal highness. The
kings daughter ran after the student
to attract his favor, and 1t didn't take
much to make him fall in love with
her. and so the two got married. They
had lived whole year together. when
they were sent off to travel in order
that the student king might show his
wife his realm.
The student was very frightened
that he might not get out of his trou-

alarmed. till at last he accepted his

I started out on an arctic trip from

did not have any adventures for five
days Then came a tempest and we
were boarded many times during the
night by high waves. We fortunately
lost but one man.
In 80 days we saw scattered blocks
of ice and now the darkness showed
that we had entered the region of snow

scattered ice we came to solid masses

the event of the jury being sworn.
nothing could stop the progress of the

At THE THEATERS


Today and Monday will see the
opening of two more shows, and il
the promises that have been made are
at all fulfilled, they will form welcome
additions to Honolulu theatrical world.
Monday, the circus will begin its
season, while tonight will witness the
opening performance at the Bijou.
Apart from the decided novelty of a
circus, patrons are promised that
something good will be submitted, and
Judging by the press notices that have
been received, the audiences will not
be disappointed The Bijou, too,
should receive a large share of pa
tronage, for the program that is to be
presented has the merit of being Il
well varied one, and Manager Kubey's
Judgment should be suTTicient to war
rant that the artists will be good, All
the other houses have excellent pro-
grams, and Honolulu will have re-

in deciding ON form Of entertain

to, as the shows range from drama
and farce, down to straight picture
shows, with circus in a class by
itself.

everything in readiness. All the per-

will be more of a vaudeville show
than any other house in Honolulu, a
fact that will almost assuredly be
warmly appreciated by a great ma

one, and there is no reason to think
