THE FIRST DUTY OF THE KING,

Wouldn't Il seem strange to wander
out into the great forest world and
have the jewellers come together and
make you king? It seemed very
strange to Tinker Bob. But after
thinking about it, he decided IL wasn't
SO after all. The secret of becoming
kng was the Stone of knowledge.
Ihis gave him so much power
than n dweller of the forest, be-
cause by this stone he knew and
understood-and anyone that knows
and understands everything has a
right to be king.
Tinker Bob was happy while he WA
King. and all of the dwellers were
happy too. Never before had Jerry
the Jay and little Baby Owl been
friends. Now it was common to see
them perched on n limb talking to-
gether. And to think O. Postum was
now a friend Of Lady Duck! But
strange things happen when the King
has h Stone Of knowledge, and this
Is only the beginning Of o. Possum's
capers.
One night when everything was
silent In the Great Forest, o. Possum
ventured forth. He looked about to
make sure that all was we'll. He
wanted to see the King, but The
wanted the King to be all alone.
Va AaApSA 104lL was On HE
mind and no one could hear his story
but the King, for the King was good.
But just as he started out, an
other forest dweller appeared in the
path that led to the Kings throne. II
was Major Pole Cat.
Pray tell me why you are wander
ing about this time Of night" said o.
Postum.
II have business with the King"
answered Major Pole Cat, "and ]
must see him tonight for 1t burdens
my heart"
That is my position exactly" ex.
claimed Q. Postum: But tell me.
Major Pole Cat. what burdens your
hearth"
20. Postum. you are my friend,
and I will tell you.": returned Major
Pole Cat. you see, ever since You
tried to kill Lady Duck. there has
grown a fondness in my heart for
her"
O. Possum was startled. you don't
mean to tell me you r in love with
Lady Duck?"
