The Enchanted Fawn.

IN nee upon a time there lived in
~ far-away country a shepherd boy
who watched his sheep in the meadows.
Every evening he drove his sheep
| down the winding road TO his home in
the valley. Now Belvry had once
seen the little princess on the rustic
bridge. She was an adorable little
thing with long curls like the sun
shine and blue eyes, and roses bloomed
in her cheeks. She had smiled at him
glorious smile. showing a row OF
pearly white teeth. and ever since
Belvry had loved her.
Often she crept away to the mead
ows to talk with him, and in his spare
time he worked in the palace garden
| to be near her.
One day as Belvry was replanting
some ferns a latticed window in the
palace opened and the golden sun
shining. laughing face of the princess
appeared. A trailing rose vine climb
| ed up to the window and the little
princess picked a tinv pink rosebud.
| pressed it to her lips and tossed It to
the shepherd lad. Just as this was
done a knight of the kings order ap-
| peared. smiled slyly when ne found he
was not observed, and vanished
| quickly.
| The knight was very much in love
| with the little princess, but she would
not wed him; as he was hard and cruel
and this made him furiously angry.
! Therefore he went and told the king
what he had seen.
The old king was beside himself with
rage, and together that night they
went and found the little princess
! alone. for Belvry had finished his
tasks and was at that moment lying
in his hard bed in the valley, happy
| with thoughts of the princess and TO
! him it seemed as if all the song birds
| of heaven had suddenly appeared on
his horizon and with silver-tinted
| throats burst into the harmony OF it
| all.
| Yet in his Joy he was restless. Be
tween the hours of darkness and light
he arose and by impulse went out in
the night. While he paced the stars
in the veiled sky grew fainter and in
the east flashes OF crimson appeared.
The dark clouds rolled away. Dawn
the glorious dawn was breaking.
Aurora in her misty gowns parted the
! curtains of night. Apollo's steeds
pawned the clouds impatient to be OF,
and then on wings Of swiftness, flew
a river dove. 1t paused and laid in
his palma crumpled rosebud. Belvry
needed no more. His princess was in
trouble, and the rosebud was the same
she had so playfully pressed to her
lips.
He hurried on and at last reached
her windows, and a look of wild
despair glared in his eyes as he heard
low sobbing. A noise startled him
The guard was letting down the great
chains Of the gates. The sobbinG
ceased and with mufned tread the
royal guards passed out with the prin-
cess. Belvry crouched IN the shadows
He saw them swing into the high
ruined tower and he gussed the truth.
His golden haired princess was a cap
tive in the tower.
He waited until all died away into
silence and drew nearer the topmos,

Council to Take
Responsibility
Over Licenses

All licenses issued by the city
will hereafter be approved by the
city council and can be revoked
only by vote Of the council.
This was the attitude taken by
the commission Thursday when
City Attorney Harmon asked for
advice in drawing up a new IL
cense code. The city was stung
this week in its attempt to close
up public dance halls here because
the ordinance was faulty, and Har-
mon wanted to kno weXactly what
the council wanted.
1t was decided that tho COM
missioner of public safety, who
has heretofore passed on applica-
lions for licenses, should bring
all applications before the coun-
Gil. This would make the council
responsible as q whole for all IL
censed places in Tacoma, and the
council would act as a whole in
revoking any license. AS soon as
the new ordinance Is passed an
other attempt will be made Il
close up the dance halls. 1t wa
