But" he continued, there is fairy
who lives not far from here, who is the
only one that can defy the witch's
will He told Florizel how to reach
the fairy's castle, and warned him of
the many dangers he would encounter
on his journey. The prince soon start
ed, and he walked on and on for hours
The shades of night were falling, and
Prince Florizel had not yet, to his
knowledge reached the fairy's castle.
He lool ID about and found that he was
in the midst of a dense forest. AS ne
was wondering as to how he should
spend the night, it seemed as though
the forest lighted up The prince
looked, and saw a large castle with
torches all around it, which, he
thought must surely be the home OF
the fairy. He walked toward 1t, and,
since he was a prince, was allowed TO
enter the castle, and was given iodg-
ings for the night.
Next day he had an interview with
the good fairy, whose name was Idan-
ellie, and they were soon on their way
to the princess. When they arrived at
their destination, the Princess Elaine
was awakened. She was very thank
full to Prince Florizel for going after
the fairy. He wanted her to come di-
rectly home with him and be his bride,

her parents first. So this was the Sec
ond time Prince Florizel had to wait
for his wishes to be carried out, and
he had grown not to be so impatient.
But Elaine could not remember
where she had lived, and, since she
could not find her parents, went with
Florlzel to be his bride. And, as the
story goes. lived happily ever after.

Because" answered the attendant,
sit is our duty to keep her asleep un-
til a beautiful and kind prince comes
to awaken her"
What dost thou mean?" cried the
prince in anger. Am l not hep
May" replied the attendant, Il
said a beautiful and kind prince"
At that the young prince sprang at
the attendant and might have injured
him had not hundreds of other at
tendants hurried Up and overpowered
him and his men. After they had Sc
curely bound the hands and feet of
all the men and the prince, they put
them to sleep with peoples and car
ried them aboard their ships. Then
they hoisted the sails, pulled up the
anchor and went ashore in a lifeboat
while the prince went out to sea.
1t was early morning before the
prince awoke. At first he was dazed
and did not know where he was, but
when he remembered about the day
before it flashed upon him what must
have happened. He saw the others
lying beside him. all sound asleep and
bound with cords like himself. At
this he began swearing and yelling
to them to come and help him.
At last one of them broke the cords
off of himself and the prince. Then
the prince yelled at him again for not
coming sooner. After many hardships
the young prince reached home. There
they informed him that his parents
were dead and had been buried. II
seemed as though he did not care much
for he started ruling the people at once
as though the kingdom was despotic
monarchy. All went well and the
people stood it the best they could un-
til one day when the prince was sit
ting on the veranda of his palace
which was on high cliff. He sat gaz-
ing over his country, when almost
below the cliff he spied the beautiful
princess of the land of poppies, with
a beautiful prince. In fit of rage
he rushed off the porch and leaped over
the cliff. The people, VINO were no
more sorry over his death than ne
had been over his parents death, at
once elected the beautiful prince and
princess for their rulers and lived
happily forever after that.

"You must not awaken her" AL
though the mans voice was low 1t
was also angry. al will not give you
the reason why you must not but can
tell you that l must not allow you to
touch her.
The prince staggered and then step
ped toward the man as if he could
kill him, but at once he heard beau
tiful voice and upon turning around
he beheld the LADY sitting up.
"Why do you wish to strike him?"
she asked, pointing to the man at
F1orizels right.
Now the prince, upon looking into
the princess beautiful eyes, immedi-
ately fell in love with her and of
course he was very much ashamed
of the way he had acted, so kneeling
before her, he said:
"Oh, gracious lady, if you will forgive
