CHAPTER v.
Princess Sakareen.

Say, play US tune" said Club
bins to the king. His Majesty didn't
seem to like being addressed so
bluntly, but he was very fond of play
ing the fiddle, so he graciously obeyed
the request and played a pretty and
pathetic ballad upon the spun sugar
strings: Then, begging to be excused
tor a few minutes, while the chariot
was being made ready, the king left
them and went into another room.
This s the children a chance to
talk freely with the sugar people, and
Chubbins said to one man, who look
ed very smooth on the outside:
II s'pose you're one of the big men
of this place, aren't your"
The man looked frightened for a
moment, and then took the boys arm
and led him into a corner of the
room.

tion,' he whispered, looking around
to make sure that no one overheard

"How's that?' asked Chubbins.
Have you noticed how smooth /
ann" inquired the sugar man.
Yes" replied the boy. why is
why, I'm frosted, that's the rea-
son. No one here suspects it, and
I'm considered very respectable; but
the truth is, I'm just coated over
with frosting, and not solid sugar

Lord Cloy and Princess Sakareen
with u.s.
So the children followed the king
to the door of the palace, where
stood a beautiful white and yellow
sugar chariot, drawn by six handsome
sugar horses with spun sugar tails
and names, and driven by a brown
sugar coachman in a blue sugar
livery.
The king got in first, and the
others followed. Then the children
discovered that Lord Cloy was the
frosted man and Princess Sakareen
was the sugar lady who had told
Twinkle that she was hollow.
There was quite a, crowd of sugar
people at the gates to watch the de-
parture of the royal party, and few
soldiers and policemen were also
present to keep order. Twinkle sat
beside the king, and Chubbins sat on
the same seat with the Princess SAX
areen, while Lord Cloy was OBJ
liged to sit with the coachman.
When all were ready the driver
cracked a sugar whip (but didn't
break it), and away the chariot DASH
ed over road paved with blocks Of
cut loaf-sugar.
The air was cool and pleasant, but
there was sweet smell to the breeze
that was peculiar to this strange
country. Sugar birds flew here and
there. singing sweet songs, and a few
sugar dogs ran out to bark at the
kings chariot as it whirled along.
Haven't you any automobiles in
your country" asked the girl.
NO" answered the king. ANY
thing that requires heat to make it go
is avoided here, because heat would
melt us and ruin our bodies in a
| few minutes. Automobiles would be
dangerous in Sugar-Loaf City"
"Jhere're dangerous enough any
where" she said. What do you feed
to your horses?"
They eat a fine quality of barley
sugar that grows in our fields"
answered the king. You'll see it
presently, for we will drive out to
my country villa, which is near the
edge OF the dome, opposite to where
you came in"
First, however. they rode all about
the city, and the king pointed out
the public buildings, and the theaters,
and the churches, and a number Of
small but pretty public parks. And
there was a high tower near the GEN.
ter that rose halfway to the dome,
it was so tall
Aren't you afraid the roof will
cave in some time, and ruin your
city," Twinkle asked the king.
"Oh, no." he answered. I'VE never
think of such a thing. Isn't there a
dome over the palace where you
live"
Yes" said Twinkle; but it's the
sky"
DO you ever fear it will cave in?"
mo. indeedv' she replied. with a
laugh at the idea.
We'll, it's the same way with us
returned his Majesty. "Domes are
the strongest things in all the world"

BUSY BEES I'M WAR THINE

OHILDREN DEAR: Our
thoughts are always with our
dear boys over there, and now
that we have come back from our va
cations the Junior Red Cross will
want you all to join. Each child
must do their share this year to win
the war, and already numerous little
clubs are making scrap books, knit
ting wristlets and giving little plays
for the benefit OF the Red Cross.
Did you all buy white tag We'd
nesday? You should have seen
cunning little Spitz dog trotting down
the street with one of the Visiting
Nurse tags securely tied to his collar,
He was evidently very proud that he
had done his bit for the sick children
in our city.
Now that the dancing parties at the
clubs are over, you will all have to
give parties of your own. Last Fri
day at the Field club there were a
number of parties and the children all
had a lovely time. Jean Borglum
wanted to dance, too, when he heard
the music. Another little dog, Tat
ters," was at the party, but when
some of the children had their pic
lures taken he objected to being pho
tographed and wriggled so the little
girl had to let him go.
am most eager to hear Of your lit
tie war clubs and societies, won't you
write and tell me when you give lit
tie play or make some articles for the
Red Cross? I must tell you about one
little club of girls who have knit
blanket to keep some soldiers warm.
Our little poetess, Elizabeth Paffen-
rath, is a member of the club, and
very soon I will have picture of all
the little girls for you. You can just
imagine how fast their little fingers
flew to finish this nice, cozy blanket,
and, beside this, they do other war
work, too. Send all the stories of the
little clubs to your Busy Bee editor.

: Twinkle and Chmbbim@
o

"Well, I declare" said the king. II
thought that tunnel had been stopped
up for good and all.
THE stone above the door slipped"
said Twinkle, so we came down to
see what we could find"
you must never do it again." said
his Majesty, sternly. This is our
own kingdom, a peaceful and retired
nation of extra refined and substan-
tial citizens, and we don't wish to
mix with 'mortals, or any other
folks"
Welt 60 back, pretty soon," said
Twinkle.
"Now, that's very nice of YOU" de-
clared the king, land l appreciate
your kindness. Are you extra refined,
my dear"
Il hope So" said the girl, a little
doubtfully.
Then there's no harm in our be-
ing friendly while you're here. And
as you've promised to 60 back to your
own world soon, have no objection
to showing you around the town.
You'd like to see how we live,
wouldn't you?"
Very much" said Twinkle.
%Crder by chariot, Captain Brittle, u
said his Majesty; and the Captain
again made one of his lowly bows
and strutted from the room to exc
cute the command.
The king now introduced Chubbins
and Twinkle to the sugar ladies and
gentlemen, who were present, and all
of them treated the children very re-
spectfully.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1918-09-08

"The kings palace" corrected the
Captain, stiffly.
What's the difference?" asked
Twinkle.
But the sugar officer did not care
to explain.
Brown sugar servants in plum
colored sugar coats stood at the en-
trance to the palace, and their eyes
stuck out like lozenges from their
sugar faces when they saw the
strangers the Captain was eescorting.
But every one bowed alow, and
stood aside for them to bass, and
they walked through beautiful halls
and reception rooms whefe the sugar
was cut into panels and scrolls and
carved to represent all kinds of fruit
and flowers,
isn't it sweet" said Twinkle.
"Sure it is" answered Chubbins.
And now they were ushered into a
magnificent room, where a stout little
