With the placing of the diamond all the
settings were fun and the old silver girdle
seemed 10 leap into life. In spite OF her
dismay the princess could not help ADMIR-
ing its beauty and noting that the Initials
of the jewels in the order OF their placing
spelled E-T-Diamond, Opal, Ruby,
Emerald and Topaz-her mothers name
and her own.
Listen. Doret," Granny-Nurse was say
ing You won the ruby by courage, the
opal by industry. the emerald by patience
and cheerfulness, the topaz by perseVer-
ance and resourcefulness and the diamond
by disappointment. But the key Of the
girdle is yet to be found. and It is
At that moment the door OF the tower
room was flung open and, TO Dorets
amazement. there entered a throng OF
courtiers. the Lord Chamberlain, chief Of
ficer Of the kingdom. at their head. and a
band of royal guards behind him.
"Ah. the princess has returned ex-
claimed the Lord Chamberlain in tones
OF great relief. Then. sternly addressing
Granny. he said: There has been enough
OF this mystery-the princess vanishing
nobody knows where. for days at time.
Though you are the Royal Nurse and
half a fairy, you shall not work your
charms on our princess. We see through
your schemes. Arrest this woman!
DoRET IN DISTRESS.
Stop" cried Doret. What II all meant
she did not know. but harm OF some kind
was threatened her dear nurse. Don't
you touch her."
Your Royal Highness does not under
stand. This is no chid's affair" said
the Lord Chamberlain. II accuse this
woman Of treason; OF plotting By
means OF getting the princess out OF the

enemy. Arrest herr

on my wishing-stone?" cried the princess.
But the old woman shook her head dumb
w. though slow tears gathered in her
eyes as the soldiers again laid their hands
on her shoulder.
Then Dorets fears suddenly vanished.
and she turned proudly and faced the
cold gaze Of the courtiers. MY lords,
she said, you think me a child. and so
was until a few weeks ago. Granny has

once upon a time. when the Crow and
the Coon and the 'Possum lived together
in three big hollow branches Of great
Hollow Tree in the Big Deep Woods, and
used to meet and have good times TO-
gether in the parlor downstairs, the
Crow made up his mind TO have party
next day. He told the Coon and the
'Possum about it right away, and they
asked him if he was going 10 have Mr..
Dog this time. and Mr.. Crow said, NO.
and looked foolish, because once he did
have Mr. Dog just for joke and got
the worst of 1t himself.
Il remember about that" said the Lit
tie Lady.
That's what the Crow did, too-remem-
bered-and he had never felt just right
about the way he had been fooled when he
meant 10 fool the others. SO when they
reminded him about Mr.. Dog he said to
himself that he would fool them yet, and
he'd do II at this very party.

she vanished.
Doret stood with outstretched hands

they had invited the guests. and told
them 10 come up and see the pies he had
made while they were gone. So they
came up and looked at them, and said
they certainly were fine. and that Mr..
Rabbit and Mr.. Turtle were busy Getting
out their best clothes. and would be there
early.
Then the Crow said he guessed he'd
slip over TO Mr.. Mans pantry ana oorro"
some maple syrup. while Mr.. Man was
at dinner, and be back for early supper.
So of he went and jeff the Coon and the
Postum there together.
When he'd been gone awhile, Mr.. POS
sum said he believed he'd take one more
look at those nice pies, and Mr.. Coon
said he guessed he would, too. So they
went up 10 Mr.. Crows kitchen again and
stood and looked at them till they were
80 hungry that Mr.. Possum licked out
his tongue and walked up and smelled OF
them. First he smelled a good long smell
Of the G. Y. pie-so-and said, "O-o-oh!
How nicer' Then he smeled a very long
smell OF the X. T. pie-so-and said
"O-o-o-o-oh! How deliciousr Then he
smelled very, very long smell Of the
2. c. pie-so-and said. "O-o-o-o-o-oh!
How strange!

That made the Coon want to smell. too.
and when he had smelled Of all three he
said that there certainly did seem TO be
a difference in those pies. and that the
last one had a sort OF a woodsy spring

made the 'Possum jump, and he said he
had not remembered till that very min
ute that tomorrow was the first sure

Mr.. Crow would care how the pies were
set on the table 80 he moved them about
and put the p. G.. pie where the G. y.
pie had stood, and the c. X. pie at the
end instead OF the p. c. pie. But while
he was doing 1t he happened to notice the
Joined letters In the middle Of the pies,
which he hadn't seen before. He looked
at first one and then the other, and
studied a minute what TO do. Then he
picked up an old thin knife that Mr..
Crow used for cutting around cake and
slipping pies out sometimes when they
stuck to the pan.
"Oh," said Mr.. Coon. II hope you're
not going TO cut them
WELL" said Mr.. 'Possum. mot SOS
you'll notice It,"
Then he slipped the thin knife around
the top crust OF the p. c. pie and lifted It
off carefully and looked In and made a
very queer face. Mr.. Coon came and
looked in. too. and made another very
queer face. Then Mr.. Postum lifted of
the top Of the c. Y. pie and looked in and
smiled. and Mr.. Coon looked in and
smiled. too. There were two nice. fat
chicken legs right on top, and Mr. Coon
took one and Mr.. 'Possum the other. be-
cause they said that as this was TO be
their pie, anyway. they might just as
we'll have a little taste OF II beforehand
Then they changed the covers and put
the P. C. cover on the good pie and G..
Y. cover on the fool pie, and just then
they heard Mr.. Crow coming home, and
slipped down into the parlor and up into
their own rooms and pretended to be
asleep when be came in.

GOVERNOR YETOES
REDUCED FARE BILL
AND IN HIS MESSAGE GIVES EX-
CELLENT REASONS FOR DOING
so.

Oklahom aCity, Okla, March 12,-
The Vandeyenter bill, fixing the pas
senger fare at lac per mile, was We
toed by Governor Cruce today upon
the ground that it would be Unwise
at this time to establish a different
rate than that fixed by the Constitu-
ton, which was &c per mile.
1t is the duty of the state author
tiles to carry out the injunction laid
upon them by the people in adopting
the constitution the veto message
to the senate said, and a fight to the
close of the controversy is now pend
ing in the courts affecting the &c
rates.
Reciting a history of the &c liti-
cation, the governor appends to The
message a letter from George A. Hen
shaw, member of the corporation COM
mission, in which the governor says
his position is substantiatod. The
governors message reads, in part:
Il am, and have ever been, a firm
advocate of the &c rate. | believe
that the trunk lines of railroads op-
Grating through Oklahoma can afford
to carry passengers at &c a mile upon
a remunerative basis, and have ever
believed that when the matter is pro-
perly considered by the court and all
the facts are adduced, the Oklahoma
constitution will be upheld. This liti-
cation has been pending for years and
has involved an outlay of thousands
of dollars of the taxpayers money.
To undertake at this day, by act OF
the legislature, to fix different rate
than &c per mile, is a virtual admis-
sion on the part Of the lawmaling
body that the provision contained in
the constitution is an unfair one and
can not be sustained in the courts.
Railways would Not Accept
81 am also convinced that the trans
portation companies will not accept
this measure as a compromise and
put into effect and keep in effect a
lie rate. On the contrary, | am
convinced from the past attitude of
the railways in Oklahoma toward a
cheaper passenger rate than SC they
would at once invoke the aid of the
federal courts to prevent the enforce
ment of the 2 1-4c rate, just as they
have done to prevent the enforcement
of the &c rate The result would be
that the state would have to go
through another period of litigation
embracing a term of years, and involv
ing an outlay of thousands of dollars
