he'll kill as many people as he wants
to- cause he thinks it's fun. But a
beautiful girl-shes a princess in
disguise-with long, golden curls
and teeth like pearls, steps up and
says, oh, captain, how can you be
so cruel? Don't you know that it is
wicked to kill? You are very
wicked man. and If you kill another
one I'll never speak to you as long
as l live And she cries so hard
that the tears splash on the deck.
when the captain sees her tears
he feels ashamed. Please don't say
you'll never speak to me, he cries.
III letiall the men go, and I'm sorry
! ever killed one.
Then all the people begin to
cheer, and the beautiful princess
goes up to the captain and takes his
hand. Don't cry she says, we for
give you, only we do think it is a
shame that you even killed five
people. But we won't talk about it
if you promise to never kill any
more. You may come to my castle
and live, and tell the people of my
court your adventures on the high
seas
This makes the captain cry
harder than ever" said Dorothy.
ITS your turn now, Mary Eliza
beth Didn't l make my part eX-
citing?"
Yes" answered. Mary Elizabeth
a trifle GROSSLY, land then you spoil
1t all by making the captain SO
sorry. Now l don't know what to
say about it, even if it is my turn"
Mary 'Lizbeth, you know all
stories have to end we'll" retorted
Dorothy, what you've got to do is
to think up a way to get those
men alive again, so that the pirate
chief can marry the princess, and
she won't be thinking all the time
bout his being so wicked" And
she nodded her head at Mary Eliza
beth in a way that was most con-
vincing.
20, dear! You know it's harder
for me to think of things than for
you," walled the distracted Mary
Elizabeth; "how can 1 make them
come alive again after they've had
their heads cut off?''
"Well, you'll just have to-" said
Dorothy, looking firm, I've thought
Of a way right now"
Mary Elizabeth looked at her Gag
erly.
Don't be mean, Dorothy" she
pleaded; II honestly and truly can't
think how to make men come alive
again, specially when their heads
are cut off. So you take another
turn and tell, will you?"
Dorothy considered, pulling one
of her curls out straight and letting
it snap back into tight ringlet.
WELL" she said finally, 81 don't
think it's fair, cause 1t is your
turn, you know, but I'll do it.
ION the steamship there is ma
gician, and he watches the girl talk
to the captain, and hears the cap
tain promise to be good forever and
stop pirating, and make his men
stop, too.
"He is a very good magician, so
he steps up and says, Heads, jump
on the right shoulders! Men, rise
up and be alive and all well again!
And then, as quick as a wink, all
Of the men are well and happy, And
everybody Shakes hands with the
magician and the captain falls in a
faint from surprise.
"They throw water on him, and
when he comes to he stays on the
steamship, and goes with the prin-
cess to her castle. And they are
married and are happy ever after.
So there" Dorothy ended trlum-
phantly, you see how easy it is to
think up something"
