country, giant forests lined the
river and mountains lowered so
high that 1t seemed as If the air
plane might hit the peak of one of
them any time.
Now and then on the top of one
of these mountains the children
could see large castle. They
were trying to figure out which one
might be King Charles when Lady
dear told them that it was still
many miles away, but they would
have to hurry and dress to be
ready when the airplane landed.
They could hardly tear them
selves away from the windows, so
wonderfully did everything seem,
but they realized that they couldn't
go anywhere in their pajamas and
they didn't want to take the time
to dress after the airplane landed,
so they climbed into their clothes.
Very soon one of them noticed
that the airplane was gliding rapid
ly down to the side of one of the
mountains and, under Captain
Braves expert hand, it landed on
an immense level lawn which
formed part of the grounds around
a castle larger than any the child
rem had seen on the way.
Several men in uniform and car
rying guns rushed up to the air
plae and demanded to know why
Captain Brave had landed there
and who he was.
When they found out who he was
however, they treated all the folk
very courteously and while some of
them helped Ladydear and the chill
dren to alight from the plane one
Of the guards hurried to the castle
to announce their arrival.
Jack and Jane were wondering
whether or not they would feel as
free to talk to King Charles and
Queen May as they did to both of
them when the royal couple was in
exile. The question was settled for
them thought when the king and
queen met them coming up the
pathway to the castle. The King
and queen shook hands with Cap
tain Brave and Ladydear. The
queen gave Jane big hug and a
kiss while the king swung Jack
high in the air and said, How is
the little man getting along?"
When Ladydear told them about
Jeanne they soon made her feel
just as welcome as the rest of
them.
I'D be mighty glad if someone
in our little country could help find
your mother and father" said the
king.
On the way to the castle King
explained to Captain Brave
how his followers had finally sue
ceeded in unearthing the source of
The plot against his life and the
plan to keep hizl from becoming
king, and that when the facts were
made public the good people of the
saw to it that the conspira-
,ors were imprisoned and the
prince called back to take the
,hrone. -, --
while they call me king, l have
everything so that the
people really elect the men who
lave charge Of conducting the
government" said King Charles.
my only desire is to see that the
PEOPLE live contentedly and happi-
y.
1.-THE people could not under
stand when Queen May and | re-
urned why we did not surround
ourselves with a large body of
and men and ladies-ln-
waiting, and assign a regiment of
soldiers to accompany us where
aver we went, to add dignity to our
presence. But We had learned dur
ng our long exile that the real
eader of his people lives as they
10. We have Just enough servants
Iround to take care of the castle
nd keep out providers. ..e.
BY this time the party had reach
d the castle and the children were
what they would see in
