For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE ENCHANTED RING.
e.

~ NCE upon time there lived a
shepherd boy named Avel.
whose whole life was passed in
the cliffs Of his native noun
tains. Here he would tend his flock
Of goats as they browsed about the
rocks and on Saturday take the milk
and butter down to the village below.
? One morning his mother told hi INTO
start early, as the sun would soon he
hot. So he set out on his way by dawn
and at noon rested in the woods. AS he
was resting he heard a queer moaning
near at hand. and on looking around he
saw tub which was standing bottom
up. Underneath was something bump
ing and crying. -.s ss--
Help me out, help me outr' cried the
voice Avel gently lifted up the tub. In
a moment there hoated out a column of
purple smoke that had the dim outlines
OF genii's form. Now a genii is an
odd kind of fairy or spirit that lived
in all sorts OF places, but most OF them
are Of a very wicked disposition.
Now. you have let me free said the
genii. Il am going to take you of with
me to India and keep you for my cook
you are a husky lad and will do good
work"
And is that your reward for my
kindness in helping you," returned Avel
Indignantly. II have no wish to go to
India or be your cook. But how did
you get under the tub?" ... -.
THE North Wind blew me under 1t
while I was asleep" replied the genii.
You know have great power, at all
times except when there is anything
over my head
Il don't think you, as big as you are,
ever got under that tub" said Avel. for
he was thinking Of playing q trick on
the genii and saving himself.
"Oh, yes. I was" chartered the genu..
"If you don't believe it I can show
you" 'E
"All right" laughed the boy. IT don't
believe all Of you was under that tub
unless you get under II. AGAIN and show
me-" So the .genii shivered and dwin-
died and shivered and dwindled, till at
last the whole of him was under the tub
again.. Then Avel jumped on it and
stood Up 30 that 1t could not move at
all.
Let me out. Let me outr cried the
genii again.
"Oh, no. laughed Avel. kicking his
heels against the sides. You were going
to carry me off to India when 1 was
kind to you-now ] am going to pile
stones over the tub till no one will ever,
see 1t and you will remain here for
ever" ... ..-
The bad genii began to weep and
moan.
IF you will only let me out again."
he cried. Il will not hurt you. and /
will give you an enchanted ring that I
left on rock near where you sit"
Now, genii may be bad, but they
always keep their words, so the boy
knew 1t would do as 1t promised and
he lifted the tub. Out of 1t rose again
the purple cloud in the form of a man.
Here Is the ring" cried the genh,
pointing at tiny golden circle that lay
on a stone. If you wish anything,
turn the ring twice and your desire
will be granted" and the Genii foatcd
away till he looked like a speck In the
sky.
Avel put the ring on his finger, but
1t did not occur to him to Try what it
would do. He was In a hurry to de-
liver the butter. SO he kept on through
the woods. Presently he heard the

sound of bugles and saw gay pro-
cession approaching. and at its head
rode a beautiful princess on milk
white stced. But she was weeping BIT
terly. Avel thought she was the love-
liest person he had ever seen.
what makes the princess sad?' he
asked Of a page passing by.
She Is leaving the country because
King Bolan is nearing the castle with
en- army and there Is no one to protect
her.. said the page. Her father Is
blind and her army small"
ASK the princess II she will marry
me II I defeat her enemy" said AveL
II will make them all take to flight"
The page told the princess, and she
had Avel brought before her. He was
a fine-lookfng lad, and his kind nature
showed in his face and simple manners.
So the princess was very glad to make
the promise.
Walking by the princess side Avel
went on for a mile till they STOOD on
hill lust above the plain. Below were
thousands of men In camps with nun
dreds of horses and caniels. and from
the plain arose q great noise and dust.
There was the clashtng OF arms ana
the sun glinting on numberiess swords
and banners.
Ayel could see that this army had
torn down the castle and was prepar-
ing to follow the blind king and the
princess. Standing far above all he de-
cided Just what 10 do, then gave the
enchanted ring two turns A sound Ike

Chase that army below out Of the
country and rebuild the castle at once,
returned Avel.
Another moment there appeared ON
the plain below long hne OF tongues
of fire. The army. men, horses and
camels, fed at top speed and at their
back the flames roared. On they went
till at last the whole band vanished BE-
hind the mountains. Avel looked again
and there on the plain was the castle.

Il have kept my promise" said Avei'
will you keep yours?"
The princess blushed and laid her
hand in his. So hand in hand they
went down the mountain. only stop
ping to get the boys mother from her
tiny cottage. And when they arrived
at the castle there was great rejoicing.
The blind king was place upon his
throne again, a great wedding feast
was held that night, and in happiness
the couple lived ever after.

At Beginning

Mr.. De Mile wrote his play at the
very commencement Of the ''insurgent

party. 1t IS just as up-to-date today.
1t were captious to find fault with
the play at this late day, for the en-
trance Of a piece into stock Is a rather
tardy time at which to criticise its con-
struction. But the one inherent fault
of the piece appears to be the lack of
a closer connection between the tele-
phone girl and .'the woman" The DRAM
atist desires to make it apparent that
the sorority of womanhood is sufficient
to cause the operator to hold her
tongue in the face of bribes and threats

Had Mr.. De Mile caused the tele-

cause of her (Wanda's) love for the
brother Of the guilty woman. there
might have been more reason to be-
lieve the basic motif underlying the
play. In its present form 1t is decidedly
