The San Francisco call., 1910-08-07

In vain the birds and the storm king
argued and talked. the reyengeful little
bee would not give in. At last the
birds became SO angry that to prevent
further trouble they pecked out the
bees tongue. Then all three flew
away to their home in the sky

what makes the best meat"
'"The flesh of the snake" cried both
birds in the same breath.
At this the bee was furious Rush
ing up to the king he tried to speak,
but he had no tongue. so he could only
make a strange noise that sounded like
'Z-z-z-z."
"Our brotherl the bee. is trying to
say the same thing" explained the
birds. but he caught bad cold down
there on the earth and he has lost his
voice"
"Z-z-z," screamed the furious bee.
but the king could understand nothing
and so he took the word OF the birds.
Ever since then the bee has been
unable to talk. The nearest he comes
to 1t is to say "Z-z-z." which we NOR
tails call buzzing.

meat"
"Ha, ha. ha," laughed the other bird.
You could not have gone very far or
tried many kinds If you found nothing
better than those poor worms. There
isn't the tiniest insuect but is better
than the worm. Therefore. unless you
wish to deceive our great king or be
laughing stock among all kingdoms
we. must not tell him, even mention the
worm to him, but 1 will describe the
insect that has the sweetest flavor in
the whole world"
Immediately the two birds began to
quarrel At first they only spoke
angrily, but after a few moments they
lost control OF their tempers altogether
and began to peck at each other, until
they were both in danger of losing all
their feathers. Then the bee spoke up.
ut really makes very little differ
ence," he said because the king will
never come down here to find out Why
not, therefore, do ourselves a good
turn? In my weary travels this year
have found that the most disagree
able object on earth Is man. He loves
no creature but himself. He has been
most cruel always to my family and
to yours as well. If you have spark
of real pride In you you will both hate
him. Now 1t is not often that we small
beings get a chance to hurt him, but
/ see how we can do SO now. with no
danger to ourselves. Let us tell our
king that mans flesh is the best to
eat"
The birds agreed with the bee. so
away the three flew to tell the king
their discovery. On their way. how
ever, they met the storm king. The
storm king was delighted to see the
two birds and the bee and very anxious

"Well. well. WELL" he roared. "and

The following day he had 16 pairs

sixteenth he found a little house and
in it an old woman.

She said: II have heard where they

HOW THE KING RECOVERED HIS LOST TREASURES

commenced to entreat her to let him
carry the ring, but the cat said:
II won't give 1t to you; you dogs are
all 80 greedy; IL n fish comes up to you
you'Il grab for II and let the ring fall,
so that our master will never get It,"
But the dog begged and begged; In
deed lie begged so long that at last she
gave him the ring. For while all
went well, but in the middle of the
ocean fish came very near them. sud
denly the dog made a dash after him
and the ring fell where the ocean was
the deepest. Arrived at the shore they
sadly crawled out of the water and
dared not approach their master until
he came to them and asked
well, my dear friends, did you get
the ring?"
They said:
Dear master, we were lucky all
right to find the ring, but we let 1t drop
in the ocean,
So now he was sadder STILL what to
do, where to turn. Thus meditating he
kept pacing up and down the shore un-
til by chance he perceived a little
golden fish near the waters edge. He
spoke to him, saying:
You beautiful golden fish, are you
not the king of the fishes?"
why, surely I ami What do you
wish?" asked the fish,
MY dog let ring drop into the deep
part of the ocean. If you could get me
out that ring
Said the fish, why not?,
Immediately he blew his whistle, and
in another instant as many fishes
there were in the ocean came to the
shore. Then the king announced that
whoever found the ring should re-
turn it right away. but all denied
having found 1t. At the last moment

hurrying. This was the one eyed fish
who always was last The king was
very angry and shouted at him, asking
where he had been all that time. De-
murely the one eyed fish confessed that
he had been very far away.
well, now, since you have been polk
ing all around over the ocean you must
have found gold ring!" said the king.
The one eyAd fish insisted he had not
found it, but the king. knowing his
people, advised him to hand out the
ring or else dreadful punishment
would be inflicted on him. And would
you believe it--there it was in his
stomach! OF course, now that he was
discovered, he dared no more to deny
it, and thus returned the ring to the
king, who gave it to the youth. The
youth thanked the fish king heartily
for his kindness and benevolence.
Then he turned the ring upon his
finger and the three giants sprang out
of it as before.
What is your grace commanding
Nothing else but that you carry the
castle and myself from this sea island
to where it stood before; but yonder

to do his bidding. By the help of these
giants he had gained his Kingdom and
his palace.
Once the young king went hunting.
while his coachman stayed at home.
Now, the coachman knew all about the
secrets of the ring. and as he saw it
lying upon a golden table right before
his eyes he put it on, turned it around
three times, and there were the giants.
They asked what the illustrious king
commanded.
Take this CASTLE said the coach
man, and carry it to the sea island"
The giants did as they were told
and Immediately carried away the pal
ace, the coachman and the queen, and
IN place of the palace there stood again
the little hut in which the king had
passed his childhood.
Toward evening the young king re-
turned. and at first could not imagine
what the matter was Was he in
wrong placer Why this miserable old
hut again? He worried almost to death.

BUD SET is BEAUTIFUL.

The season In Washington is more fes-
tive than usual. Never was the bud set
so beautiful What with gorgeous affairs
planned on every hand. and with an ad-
ministration sympathetic to society and
its functions this winter may be classified
socially as ultra successful More debu-
tantes have made their bow this winter
than in any single season for half A
dozen years. For instance, there is the
set made up OF six girls. who have been
associated since their babyhood and who
have been dancing at fancy parties from
their first or second year. including Miss
Eudora Glover. Miss Gladys Hinckley.
Miss Margaret Draper Miss Laura Mer-
riam Miss Sophy Johnstone and Miss
Alice Whiting. All belong 10 great or
ncar-grest families, and they form an
attractive sextette. Then there Is another
set. made up principally OF those maidens
who have come from Gotham or the out
living districts In this clan are Miss
Louise Cromwell, Miss Marie Guidct-
Duryee and Miss Olga Roosevelt. Miss
Katherine Brown, niece OF Mrs Stephen
r. Elkns, goes with these. and her mil
lions add luster to the division There
is another set. which mlngles with all the
others and makes no separate coterie.
This coterie includes as pretty, interest

boasts.
