curly hair and light complexion with

Jack, her twin brother, was of the

on his cheek as Elaine did.
Elaine and Jacks father was also
dead. He died before Mrs. Davis, so
they were left in the wide word alone
with no near relatives only in distant
lands.
Elaine was adopted by a rich man
named Mr.. Parks, while Jack was wan

of the kingdom that no one. not eve.

People VINO had travelled l4oa" H.
came back with wonderful reports
about the secret corner. They saic
that there was gold castle there
oGors. like boiling taffy. They h&d
caught glimpses of little white ponies
with scarlet harnesses and golden
adde's, galloping over the greer
fields.
Il should like that corner of tn

So the twin princes went to thei"

shall be mine, because ] am very fond
OF taffy," said Prince Cuthbert.
The secret corner OF the kingdom
should be mine, for I want d little

The king looked at the two LITTLE
princes and he smiled. 1t wa hard {"
tell them apart. They each had blue
eyes and a blue velvet suit. The
each had yellow hair, and gold cha rs
around their necks. Thew seemed cE
actly alike but the king knew them
apart very we'll indeed. There was q
great difference between the tw.
princes. That was what he was think
ing of when he said:
at is a long journey to the secret
corner of the kingdom, and a great
deal to be done on the way Yor
may go. Whoever finds the secret
corner first may have 1t for his very
own"
1t was fine morning when the twin
princes started out. The kingdom
gave them each a smadl shining AK,
d stout little shovel, and a hammer
and nails. They wondered very much
| why, but the King smiled and said;
."You may need these tools" So
they took them and went on their way.
They had not gone very far when they
came to a log in the middle Of their
path. Someone had begun chopping it
in two, but had net finished. Prince
! Cuthbert jumped right over it.
Il have no time to chop this log"
he said. 81 must hurry along and find
the secret corner. With this he was
OFF and out of Prince Caravans sight.
Prince Garvain stopped and looked
at the log. He always finished every
thing he started. He began chopping

| cut in half. Like magic it fell apart
and on the other side there was a
long, straight road before him that he

attention to the questions which the

including important changes In practice,
especially such changes as will tend to
eliminate the laws delays, which both
members Of the bar and the public have
for many years dccried.
Elias Gates, OF Memphis, Is chairman
OF the Jurisprudence committee, which
will be prepared to advocate certain
changes Of this kind Other local nom
bers of the committee are Judge Ben
Capell and Col Roane Waring.
