bravest deed shall reign in my place
And so il was settled and Prince Otto
and his brother, Prince Nardo, went
out into the world 10 seek Tor the
chance TO show their bravery.
Prince Don, of course, stayed at
home with his father and though he
should have become king by right Of
his birth he did not want the crown
and held no i'll feelings towards his
brothers or his father.
Now across the lake, which was
verv wide. was a forest and something
very strange was happening there.
Every night at the magic hour OF mid
night there arose in the midst Of the
trees castle OF white marble, and
when the moonlight fell upon 1t the
castle looked like silver.
But no sign OF tins castle was to be
seen in the daytime: only the tall trees
such as make up all forests could be
seen from the castle on the opposite
side OF the big lake.
But one night when the moon was
shining, making the lake and the
gardens of the castle where lived
Prince Don look like fairyland, the
prince could not sleep, for he heard
strains of sweet music from across the
lake
Prince Don arose from his bed and
looked from his window, wondering
where the music could come from,
when his astonished eyes beheld the
marble palace listening silvery in the
moonlight.
Now Prince Don was not bold anc
daring as his brothers were. He die
not want TO 60 into battle and kill hii
fellow men, but he was not a coward
and when he saw the castle, which h
knew had not been there the day before
he quickly dressed and went to th'
side Of the lake.
Yes, the castle could be plainly seen
II was not dream as he at first ha'
thought He would swim across ant
find out what strange thing was hap
pening on the other side Of the lake.

Why was il necessary, asked my
self fiercely-yet with feeling of dis
loyalty which | could not shake Off
TO SO pamper this particular member
of the service? My father asked for no
such special consideration, neither, did
Lillian. Yet | knew by my fathers
manner that he considered this atten-
ton to Mr.. Drake to be absolutely neces-
sary.
The door opened and Lillian came into
the room, stopping abruptly ms she saw
me.
"Ohl Pardonl" she said. "Am I dis
turbing you?''
NO. On the contrary, l need a con-
fidante or l shall explode in another

She eyed me keenly and drew chair
near mine.

Drake must have tray of hot food,

any unusual hour the fancy strikes HIM,
for he is almost never ready to eat at

Don't give me any more OF the har-

one must knock inadvertently at the

Her mirthful expression changed TO

Il don't know but it would be good
