Once upon a time In far-off coun-
try there lived witch on top OF a
high mountain. and every year she
came down into the country about and
appeared at the palace Of the King
and asked for bag Of gold.
One night when the King and his
Queen were making merry and hav-
ing big feast in honor of the birth
Of their little daughter, the Princess
Lily, the old witch came to the pal.
ace and asked for her bag Of gold.
Tell her to be gone" said the
King to his servant II have used all
the gold in the vaults for the feast;
she will have to come next year"
Now, the old witch was very angry
when she heard this message. and she
hill IN the grounds of the palace until
all were asleep that night and then
she entered the palace and carried off
the baby Princess.
The King and the Queen were be-
side themselves with grief when they
discovered their loss, and they offered
big rewards for the return of their
daughter. but she could not be found.
Find the old witch who came here
the night of the feast" said one of
the Kings wise men, "cnd you will
find the Princess"
They hunted far and near but the
witch could not be found, for when
anyone attempted to climb the noun
tain where the old witch lived the in
sects would become as thick as mist
and clouds and they could not see
where to go.
One after another gave up the at
tempt, and so after while the King
and Queen mourned their daughter as
dead and the old witch never came to
the palace again.
The Queen and King never had any
more children and every day they
grieved because there would be no
one to reign after they were gone.
One day one Of the Kings wise men
said to him: I'm cave in the forest
lives an Ogre who has wonderful
horse; 1t is kept in stable made of
marble, and its stall Is Of gold, and it
Is fed on corn grown in field OF
pearls.
III we could get this horse we
might be able to climb the mountain
where the old witch lives. and per-
haps the Princess is still alive"
But how can we get this horse?"
asked the King.
"Ah! that Is the hard part" ans
wcred the wise man. "The enchanted
creature can only be caught and

corn from the field of pearls finds
himself sinking, and has to run for
his life, SO that only the Ogre who
knows the magic words that keep the
pearls from drawing him down can
gather the corn"
When the King heard this he sent
for all the Princes In the land to come
to his palace and when they came he
told them that to the one who could
catch and mount the Ogre's enchanted
horse he would give his kingdom If
he could find the lost Princess Lily,
and she should become his wife.
But all the Princes were rich enough
and they did not care to take such a
risk, especially as they had never seen
the Princess Lily.
Then the King sent out word to all
the poor young men in his kingdom
to come to him, and he made them
the same offer, but one by one they
turned away, and at last there was
only a poor peasant youth left.
II will try, your Majesty" he said,
"but will not marry the Princess un-
less love her, and if she does not
wish to marry me will not hold you
to that part of the bargain either,
but l will take the kingdom if
bring back your child"
So that night the peasant boy went
to fairy that lived in the woods and
asked her to help him.
"You can only enter the field Of
magic corn by wearing the magic
shoes belonging to the Ogre, and he
sleeps with them under his bed. They
are tied to the big toe of his right
foot by silken thread and no one can
cut it or break it without awakening
the Ogre.

Il will give you feather and If you
are fortunate enough to enter his
chamber without being caught, for he
is guarded well by dog with two
heads, use this feather to tickle his
left foot and you can cut the silken
thread without the Ogre knowing it.
This is all | can do to help you. The
two-headed dog is not in my power to
control
So the peasant took the magic
feather and that night he went to the
Ogre's castle in the woods and wait
ed until he heard his snore, and then
he took from his pocket two big
bones.
He opened the door to the castle,
for the Ogre was afraid of no one
and did not lock his door at night
The two-headed dog growled and
sprang toward the peasant, but he
quickly thrust the bones in the mouth
of each and that quieted them.
The two heads began to eat, and
while they were eating the peasant
crept softly into the room of the
sleeping Ogre and tickled his left foot
which was sticking out from under the
bed-clothes.
The old Ogre began to laugh and
he laughed so hard and loudly that
no other sound could be heard; and
the peasant had time to break the
slender thread which was tied to the
magic shoes with one hand while he
kept tickling the Ogre's left foot with
the feather held in the other hand
When he had the shoes under his
arm he crept softly away from the
bed, leaving the Ogre still laughing.
The two-headed dog was still eating
the bones and the peasant went out
and sat on the steps of the castle to
put on the magic shoes.

TO CHANGE YOUR SKIN!
How to Develop the Highest
Degree of Vital, Nervous
and Muscular Vigor

Snakes throw of their outer skin
once a year. Human beings change
their skin perhaps nine times in a
year; that is, they have q new skin
about once In six weeks.
The value Of clean skin in main.
tanning health is not properly under
stood By the majority of people. Clean.
illness is a part of health. You can
not be healthy unless you are, clean
not only externally, but also inter.
nally.
The blood should also be assisted
occasionally, like the skin, In throw
Ing OF poisons so that the system may
not get clogged and leave q weak spot
for disease germs to enter the system.
When the blood is clogged we suffer
from what is commonly called cold.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry puritles the blood and entirely
eradicates the poisons that breed and
feed disease. It thus cures scrofula,
eczema, boils, plmples and other erup-
lions that mar and scar the skin. Pure
blood Is essential to good health. The
weak, rundown, debilitated condition
which so many people experience is
commonly the effect Of impure blood.
Doctor Picrce's Golden Medical Dis
covery not only cleanses the blood of
Impurities, but It increases the activity
Of the blood.making glands, and it en-.
riches the body with an abundant sup.
ply Of pure, rich blood.
Take it as directed and It will search
out impure and poisonous matter in
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys
and drive 1t from the system through
the natural channels.
It will penetrate into the joints and
muscles, and dissolve the poisonous ac-
cumulations. Bad blood Is driven out.
1t will furnish you with rich, pure
blood full of vital force-the kind that
increases energy and ambition, that
reiuvenates the entire body.
