"Oh, Help me escape from here, "
she cried when she saw the leopard,
"and | will save Won from the spell my
mother threw over YOU
The leopard went 10 the gate and
lifted the bar that locked it; then he
went to Oliver and awolSe him and
trotted back to the gate
Oliver no sooner saw the open gate
than he sprang UP and followed the
leopard into the garden, and he was
about to knock Mt the door when the
leopard rubbed against hun and ran
into the bushes. Oliver followed and was
soon al the window of the dungeon.
where the witch girl was waiting
Help me to escape said the girl.
"and | will restore this poor. leopard
to his own shape and help YOU to punish
your wicked brother, who tried to kill
YOU and made me a prisoner in this
dreadful place
Hold said a terrible voice close
beside them, and turning Oliver hcheld the
old witch herself
Il Will undo the wrong | have done
myself, she said as she struck the
leopard with her crooked stick three
times, and. TO the surprise of Oliver,
there stood Morton
With another three strikes on the
bars through which the tch-glrl looked
the old witch broke them and Oliver and
Morton helped the girl 10 climb out.
Now to the palace to find the brother
who imprisoned my daughter, said the
old witch
The frightened servant who opened
the door gave p cry of alarm that awaken
cd all the household and brought them
into the hall where the old witch, her
daughter and Oliver and Morton stood
When Manuel saw them he tried TO
escape, but the witch raised her cane
and he could not move
You did not keep your part OF the
bargain he told the old witch You
promised that Morton should return the
next day, SO you could not expect me to
keep my promise
Il Will tell you all. said the witch
turning TO Morton, and then my daugh
ter and | will go back to our home, for
well know that mortals and witch girls
cannot live together
When the witch finished speaking
Oliver said, Il am ashamed and sorry
for all have done and if you will forgive
me, Morton, ! will 90 away and leave
YOU and my sister TO rule and never bother
YOU again.
Morton told him that all he wanted
was to be taken to Queen Meta He
cared nothing for the crown or the
kingdom
When the Queen beheld her lover
whom she thought dead she soon re-
covered and after many hours they
again remembered the brothers, but
nowhere could they be found
Whether they went away with the
old witch and her daughter or to seek
their fortunes in a strange land, no
one ever knew, for they were never
again seen.
Long years of happiness repaid Morton
for all he went through to gain his Queen
and they lived in peace through all the
years that followed.

QUEEN NETTA--Part II.


All this time Manuel was looking
with impatient eyes down the road for
sign of Morton, for Queen Meta was fast
dying from grief.
Manuel had not asked the old witch
what shape Morton had taken on when
she changed him into another form,
so, when he saw man coming with a
leopard by his side, it was such curious
sight he went to meet them.
Oliver Knocked and knocked at the
gate, but Manuel had told the servants
that wild animal was outside and
not to open the gate, or they would
all be killed
When night came Oliver slept on
the ground, but the leopard, knowing
he was near the one he had loved when
he was in his own form, sat looking at tho
wall and dreaming Of the days when he
was happy.
Suddenly the Thought came To him
that now he was a leopard no might
be able to leap over the wall and per-
haps catch glimpse of his lost Queen.
This he did and carefully he crept
through the trees and shrubs until he WINS
close TO the palace wall.
As he crept along he came to grating
and looked through il into the very
dungeon. There he saw the witch girl
asleep on the floor. The leopard knew her,
and with his paw he scratched the grat
ing until she awokc
