many funny things in life to laugh at
that there was really no use for those
charming corners to droop.
Her nose? Well, must confess it was
a bit of a pug, but then any other kind
would have marred the exquisite little
face.
But her eyes!
How can 1 tell you about her eyes? i
never saw any other eyes like them. Have
you ever seen a clear pool of water out
under the skies surrounded by dark, ferny
edges? Well, the Princess eyes were
more like that than anything else-her
lashes were like the ferns.
Now when the sun shines on the pool
you remember how blue the water looks
That was the color of the Princess eyes.
But when clouds gathered-oh, my! how
dark and different both eyes ano pool

might just as well tell you at the start
that the Princess was often ragged and
dirty, for just at first she was lost
princess and, until she came into her
own, things went rather badly with her.
Our little maids real name was Janet
Mcdonald, and she lived on the third floor
back of big, dingy tenement, with hel
queen-mother.
When Janet was a tiny baby her father
and mother had come from Scotland to
America. I'm sure I do not know why,
for over there they had lived in cosey
little house on the edge of a magnificent
Garden, over which the father had ruled
as head gardener.
Perhaps Mr. Mcdonald thought that a
little house and garden Of his own in the
new country would be better than any
thing the old country could give, SO he
came to take his chance.

she was FIVE years old when the cutters
knew her as a playmate. But the noisy
rabble and the mud piemakers were soon
distasteful TO princess with fine dreams.
The other children. too. were rather
afraid Of her and made her feel i'll at

freedom Janet meant 10 explore the
whole world in time, for she never meant
to rest until she found that garden of

Oh, how she loved the bigness of the
streets, and oh! how she thrilled as she
wondered what might be just around the
corner; but she never got lost; always she
found her way back To the third floor, the
creaky rocker and the queen-mother Of

snatch the dear Princess up and kiss her,
even if Mrs. Jones' washing did have to
wait?
Sometimes Janet went with Ter mother
to carry home the washes. Those were
wonder times. And the street cars be-
came chariots: and always Janet's big
eyes were on the lookout for the garden.

were lovely pictures hung just high
enough for wee boys and girls to see
them. On the floor of this charming room
sat circle of dear children with folded
hands and bent heads; and they were
singing a tender song of praise to the
good Father in Heaven whom Janet knew
all about Standing near the children
was a tall lady. For a moment Janet
thought she was lovelier than the queen

Then she would fancy the dearest
things that she had never seen except In
the pictures Of the few old books upon the
shelf. OF course the mother could not
carry the baby to park or country, be
cause she was nearly always washing,
and trees and dancing rivers do not come
BY themselves to third story backs!
But there were the evenings when the
hard days work was done! By the win

rear Of another grim house shut out the
view, stood . low, creaky rocking chair.
Into that the weary mother would drop
and gather her little girl, while the early
shadows-oh, SO earH-crept around
them. And then for magic!
"Creak! creakw whispered the old chair
as 1t started on its voyage; and Janet
would laugh and say

lands tales for small boys and girls. And,
of course, Janet placed them all in her
garden. There they lived and capereo
and had the merriest times. 1t was odd
enough, to be sure, to have those princes
and princesses playing with gnomes and
fairies in the most matter of fact way
but Janet made the whole thing easy,
and they had the maddest larks. One
creak of the old rocker and the tenement
that stood guard over the back yard just
melted away, and there were the big
ocean and the brave ship, and then the
splendid garden and the royal folk, and
their winged companions, and then? why,

darkness-and dreams-oh, such dreams
No wonder, then, that sweet Janet grew

The ragged little Princess partook Of

to escort her home in a body, but Miss
Rose sent them upon their different ways

CHAPTER ONE.

HIS story is about little girl
who made believe that she was
princess. Her mother had told
her much about princes, prin-
cesses. castles, knights and such
things, and she found that by
thinking thing very hard and for long
time you could almost believe you were
what you thought yoursek-and, above
everything. she longed to be a princess.
So she walled as princess should; shoul-
ders thrown back. head carried high, and
all the rest; and she was so slim and
pretty that even in her raggedy gown
people turned and looked after the dear
little thing.
She had the very softest pink and white
cheeks, and she had two perfectly ravish-
ing dimples-one in her left cheek, one in
the middle of her cunning, round chin.
Her hair was as light and fluffy as the

and If possible they should have a full
grown man with them who knows some
thing about the woods, camping, cooking
and the like. He can be a sort of scout
the boys large amount of extra work
and worry and make camp life enjoyable
Probably the best way to do for boys
who have never been in the woods is to
20 out simply for part Of the day, max
ing it point to cook just one meal The
boys can supply themselves with bread,
butter or sandwiches, with some coffee,
and take with them steak or meat which
can be cooked over an open fire
IF, however, seven land their adult
LEADER boys wish to go out for Saturday
night and Sunday they can have jolly
time with food that will cost them only
about 1915. In other words, for four
meals, including Saturday nights supper
and Sunday nights supper, each boy
would have to pay about nine cents u
meal, and the food viii be of the best If
they want to be a little more economical
they can live even more cheaply. Here
is a list of supplies which will cost about
e3.75 and will feed eight boys

SUMMER CAMPS FOR THE BOY

and swimming, the creeks with
their trout, call to him. But

gestions as to what each boy can .ake -
Plate (enamelled, agate or TIM. pint cup
knife, fork, spoon. suit of underwear tc
sleep in (long sleeve shirt, tooth brush
comb, towel, blanket (heavy and dark
rubber blanket or oilcloth.
The scoutmaster should carry Ratchet
and have with him some needles and
thread and court plaster and bandases.
Once the boys are in camp of course
they should have one person TO look after
the preparation of the food, and the Others
can help under his direction. As basis
to the supply of food mentioned above
here are suggestions as to what the boys
should have:-Supper. Saturday night
Tea. butter. bread, baked beans, roasted
pota toes. Breakfast, Sunday-Bread and
The Washington herald., 1912-07-07

Add to these a small quantity of baking
powder, pepper and salt.
Two college men took a four day win

rations:-One-ha!f pound ground coffee,
one pound rice. one pound Of raisins, two
pounds of bacon, one quart of soup beans,
two pounds of -four. one ounce of baking
powder, one ounce of pepper. two ounces
of salt, one can of milk, two pounds OF
sugar and one-half pound of butter.

when she walked-why, then sadness had
TO 20. for the bonny little creature chased
it right out through the doorway!
And she was so funny and said such
odd things. She had a habit Of cud-
ding up on the floor, like q white ball of
kitten-holding her dimpled knees in
her pretty arms. When she sat that way,
with her big eyes round and shiny, the
mother always knew she was going to
say something. And she always did. Al

thousands of boys regard their ambition
as a mere dream impossible of realiza ton.
Charles B. Horton, director of summer
camps and training schools for the Boy
Scouts Of America, who has had fifteen
years experience in handling boys in
camps, shows that any boy who can af-
ford to spend only eight, nine or ten cents
on a meal can 60 out into the woods for a
day or two days or even a week with his
chums and live like a king
"a week end in the woods" says Mr..
Horton, is within the reach of every boy.
The boys who work in factories, Offices and
the like and live in the city should make
it a point to get out into the woods and
fields as often as possible. They can have
barrels of fun, for there are innumerable
things for them to do which do not cost a
cent.

And 30 1t happened that one day in her
wanderings the Princess came upon the
beginning Of wonders. 1t was a glorious
September day-a day that made even
common folks glad to be alive, while, as
for the Princess, she was radiant! Down

She did the most beautiful laundry
work, and so she managed to keep the
poor home, buy food and clothing, and
find time to tell Janet about the wonder

Now it may seem queer, but as soon as
Janet could laugh and talk the dim rooms
began to be cheerful: the white faced
mother commenced to smile and q new
and happy hight shone in her eyes. How
could she be sad al the time while that
jolly baby crowed and gurgled and then
said, "Buful mudder," when she was
