started to put the gift in the throne
room. but In passing the foot Of the
throne his foot slipped. and he all but
sprawled over the little Prince, who
lay playing by the Royal Foots.ool.
He caught himself In time. but the
Jar shook the bit OF wood from the
eagles claws into the tiny outstretch-
ed palm Of the little Prince. and there
ii was when the astonished King re-
turned a few hours later
Paddy Whalen will tell you Of a
dozen plans which the King devised
TO rid his heir OF the obnoxious chop
stick. plans cleverly conceived and
cleverlv executed. but plans which
nevertheless came straightway to
naught
Did he send the chopstick forth
from the kingdom by way of the air. II
came back. bv way of the water. Did
he send II out by way of the water II
came hack by way of the land. All
the hidden forces Of Nature seemed TO
act together with the one object 10
get that chopstick back 70 the Royal
Castle with the least possible delay.
The King wasted away 10 a shadow
Of himself with worry. and went about
rolling his fingers and talking 70 him
self and looking with dread to see from
what direction the banetul chopstick
would make its return.
Once or twice he succeeded in keep
ing II away long enough to prove that
the Prince improved with its absence,
and that n Uaa really raEpOn cihI 6
for his unfortunate condition. After
crying for a day over its absence he
would perk up and would begin to
learn so fast and grow so fast that
you could almost see him do IL.

stick the little Diarmid would relapse

cook
A half-hour later the King came to
dinner There sat The little Prince
beating tattoo with his chopstick as
happy as you please.
Next day a fine scheme popped into
the head of the King.
In his pleasure park was Gagged a
large bald eagle. The King was an
expert taxidermist. and was savins the
bird against a time when he should
mount him for his collection.
OF course. he thought more Of the
Young Diarmid than of any hobby
That right he took the chopstick from
the relaxed fingers of the sleeping
youn ester and made his way 70 the
agle's cage. wired the thing neatly TO
the right leg Of his birdship. and turn
ed him loose. Then he went back 10

He could not foresee that the eagle
would be seen winging its wav through

of the ROYAL Hunters. himself some

But that was exactly what hap
pened The hunter sent an arrow

He decided that Tho chopstick attach

thing 70 mount him on. so perched on
the chonstick natural as life was he
mounted.

said the hunter 10 himself. so he sad

into his apathy and sit and slobber
pitiful to see.
Things had gone this way for year.
The Prince was six years old. Yet you
would never have thought of his being
over two by his actions.
And then the thought came TO the
King: Perhaps the mind that was clev-
er enough to ferret out the source Of
the trouble might be clever enough TO
solve the other and bigger problem Of
how to lose the chopstick He In
quired for the student. He had left
the college. and set up for himself In
another part of the town. but OF
course the nursemaid knew where he
could be found
The King told him Of all the clever
devices he had vaiuly used in the mat
ter of the chopstick.
For Heavens sake. is there moth
ing can be done?" he asked.
When the young nan left the castle
he carried the stick in his hip pocket
"If il comes back let me know. a.
once" he said In parting. L consld-
er my plan certain, but it may require
several trials"
Sure enough. in a couple OF DAYS
the chopstick turned up. and the
young man was sent for.
The second time ii was gone for =
week and the King began to feel his
spirits rise.
The third time 1t was gone for a
month.
