Willy looked up and saw the prin-
cess in tears. The attendants had
fled, but she thought 1t would be cow
ardly for a princess to run, SO she re-
mained, and so did her royal father.
But the king took the princess to
hide In the cellar.
"You better come down with ME,
my child" he exclaimed. 'The
Dragons coat is of steel scales and
nothing can harm him. Come with
me and maybe he will get tired look
ing for us and return to his den."
Willy heard the conversation. for he
was the only person about except the
royal family. In the distance he saw
dark cloud approaching swiftly and

Willy sold every one Of the fat geese
to the royal cook. And that is the
way he happened to catch sight OF
the pretty princess drying her golden
hair on the back porch.
One fine morning Willy drove his
cackling flock into the back gate and
waited for the fat, cross cook to come
out. Suddenly there was great COM
motion and the soldiers ran out of the
palace white with terror.

CIIINs AND NECKs

A GREAT number Of women write,
N asking ways to reduce double
chin. OF course, general reduction all
over the body will strip the extra
flesh from under the chin, but many
women are too easy going in nature
to want to reduce. Then, many carry
their heads hanging down so the chin
droops, and the flesh forms little bag
beneath the chin.
A very good way to overcome this
is by exercising. Tilting the head far
back, then forward, repeating several
times, is one good method of working
off the loose flabby tissue. Another

king. HE will swallow you at one
gulp, for his teeth are sharp and have
never touched anything but tender
meat"
That gave Willy an idea. In the
back Of the yard was an enormous
crate. He decided that with that he
could rescue his beloved Princess anC
at the same time get rid of the Dragon
without danger to himself.
IF l kill the Dragon will you allow
me to marry the Princess?" asked
Willie of the King. who was wiring
ing his hands In despair.
"Of course, boy!" shouted the King.
'Why, Of course, it would be better to
marry gooseboy than furnish meal
for that horrible creature, which is
even now in sight" -
"Well, can settle the Dragon, all
right" replie Willy; "only let the
Princess remain in sight. she must
also refuse to marry the Dragon.
Then. when he prepares to harm her
l will kill him so dead he will never
even leave his place"
With that Willy ran to hitch the
end Of long rope to the iron crate,
and as the rope was hanging already
on a pully, 1t was bat moment be-
fore the huge thing was poised In lac
air just above the balcony on which
the Princess stood. In FIVE minutes
the Great Dragon was before the
palace and smoking up all the clean
windows If the place.
"Win you marry me or would you
prefer to serve. as my lunch?" cried
the creal re, showing his big teeth.
The Princess trembled, but ctood
bravely on the porch. II win never
ma w you'll" she cried. "Such ION
ster as you does not deserve to live"
"All right" snarled the Dragon, and
he opened his big mouth.
But just then Willy loosened the
rope, the heavy iron crate swung
around and droppe" right into the
Dragons mouth. In ten minutes the
great Dragon lay dead.
"a pretty good Job for a fellow Of
your size" exclaimed the King.
That night thGre was a big wedding |
'or Willy and the Princess, and every
ne was happy except the hOusemalds,

o. A. Moxness found last Fridays
storm bit tough for even his Over

night at Hazel ("Smith's) on his
way out from Terry with Larry Lal
son and Harold Rourk as passengers.
They took fresh start Saturday
morning before the car quit 'em cold
They had it towed back to Smiths
where they put in several hours very
pleasantly cussing and discussing
motor cars and DANCED fools who use
them for winter travelling. While thus
engaged the stage came along with
room for just one passenger. Mox
suddenly discovered APT good reasons
why he really ought to get home that
night and he wouldn't even gamble
with the boys to see who got that
single seat in the stage; told them
the walking was good and they could
easily make Brockway by Sunday
night. With Mox out of the way Larry
and Harry commenced to argue with
the Overland again, and with such
good effect that they soon had it pur-
ring like kitten. They started for
home and got as far as the Reynolds
place, where something went bust and
they put the craft In the dry dock.
Next day they came on to town-walk-
ing to the Keyes place, where Emmett

Mox had 5000 worth of spuds and two
