On a certain island there once dwelt
in the olden time a good king and
queen, who had one little son, the heir
to the throne This princeling was the
pride of their hearts, but was also the
cause of much grief to them, for
more selfish little fellow never lived
than Prince Florizel. He seemed to
think that the Island Kingdom be-
longed to him-each stick and stone of
it and every mortal living upon it. He
grew more tyrannical each day he
lived, and the wise men of the king
dom shook their heads in dismay,
knowing that it would be sorry day
for them when the prince should come
to be king at his much-loved fathers
death.
Now, when Prince Florizel had
grown to be a good-sized youth his
parents put their heads together and
decided that they would send him off
to travel and see something of the
world.
So Prince Florizel went forth right
happily in a beautiful ship richly stored
with all necessities. Servants he had
in plenty, and music and games to
while away the long hours of sailing.
The fine craft sped lightly over the
sparkling waters until it touched at a
beautiful shore.
All landed at the command of their
prince, and, he leading the way, began
to explore the strange country. A
strange country it seemed, indeed for
they met with nothing but field after
field of crimson flowers waving in the
wind. Many men worked amidst them,
gathering the blossoms, while others
carried them away in large baskets.
With a commanding gesture, the prince
bade one of them stop and answer his
questions. But very firmly, and speak
ing no word, the toiler motioned the
prince aside and went on about his
business.
The prince was 80 astonished and
enraged at being disobeyed that he was
about to call to his people to fall upon
the offender, when he noticed that they
had all sunk down in slumber where
they stood. The flowers had stolen

less, he was troubled when mother lift
ed him beside her in the carriage that
afternoon and they drove to the stu
dio of the artist.
Having left the carriage mother led
the way up narrow, twisting flights of
stairs. Everything was dingy and
dusty and the dim light made the
building seem scary to the little boy.
Still he pressed his teeth closely to-
gether and resolved that he would be
brave.
A moment later Teddy had forgotten
his fears and was as happy as he could
be, for he was being kissed and hugged
by the Artist-Lady, who smiled kindly
at him and talked as though she had
known him always. And he didn't
mind in the least being left with her
when mother said she must be going.
"I want to show you my new music
box Teddy" the Artist-Lady said. Soon
a number of tiny bells inside the mys-
terious box were tinkling away in a
delightful tune. The boy listened ca
gerly to the fairylike melody. After
ward he turned the pages of a splendid
picture book and was told wonderful
story about each picture.
But he enjoyed himself most of all
when a bull terrier named Bill and
kitten named Tiny came from behind a
big screen at one end of the room and
began to play tag" They played the
merriest kind of a game, and Teddy
thought it was very funny indeed.
Meanwhile the Artist-Lady seemed in
no haste to begin painting the picture.
She made a few swift pencil strokes,
it is true, but she seemed much more
anxious to entertain Teddy than to
make his portrait. The little fellow
was very sorry when the carriage came
for him, and the ArtistLady told him
that his "sitting" was over for the day.
'Is the picture done already?" asked
the surprised boy.

he kissed the Artlst-Lady Affection

When he reached home Teddy sought

Artist-Lady. "She didn't hurt me the

Freddy, wistfully. He was sorry, now,

their senses away. A feeling of awe
and fear made the prince cool down,
and, eonquering his anger with great
effort. he followed the fiower-laden
worker inland.
By and by, when almost tired out
with such unusual exercise over stony
roads, he came to the fields and into a
beautiful garden. Here, reposing upon
a marble bench, richly carved, lay the
most beautiful lady the prince had ever
seen. The slumbering princess was
surrounded with attendants, who con-
tinually heaped the scarlet. eepgiv-
ing flowers upon her, replacing the
withered ones with fresh ones as they
were brought in.
The prince stepped forward impul-
sively to arouse the lady, but one of
the attendants waved him aside.
"Why may 1 not awaken her when 1

DAVE PORTER AT STAR RANCH; OR,
THE COWBOYS SECRET
BY LUCILLE COLLINS
BY Edward Stratemeyer


The Dave Porter Series" is known
throughout the country as favorite.
and there are few, If any, books so
persistently ordered long in advance
of publication as is each newly an
nounced one having Dave Porter as
it's hero. In this book Dave passes
a summer vacation at a ranch In Col
orado, owned by friends of his newly
found sister, Laura. OF course, some
of Dawes inseparable school friends
are included, and highly interesting
features developed from the fact that
a neighboring ranch is owned by the
father of Link Merwell, a vicious stu
dent with whom Dave and his honor
able gentlemanly comrades had come
into natural conflict. Unexpected
events and disclosures increase the in
terest. Dave carries himself through
out as the best type of an athletic,
and at the same time brainy and we'll
bred American schoolboy. The book is
so written as to be entirely indepen-
dent of the series, although continu-
ing so many of the favorite characters.
