Some two minutes later, the crown
prince of Livonia. having sworn the
pirate oath of no quarter, except to
women and children, was on his way
to the pirate cave.
He was not running away. He was
not disobedient. He was breaking no
promises. Because, from the moment
he saw the two confederates, and par
ticularly from the moment he swore
the delightful oath, his past was wiped
away. There was, in his conscious
ness, no palace, no grandfather, no
Miss Braithwaite. even no Milky.
There was only boy and dog, and
a pirate den awaiting him.

This is a land of courtesy and po-

spokesman Of a democratic people, to
ride side by side with the President
