THE BLUEBIRD PRINCESS

DERHAPS If Prince Arno had
= been poor youth he would not
have found life such bore and he
might have married as his father the
king had often asked him to do, and
settle down at home.
But he was prince, and he did
not fall in love with any princess that
his father had chosen, and so one day
he started off on a journey, telling
the king that when he found the girl
he could love he would return.
The poor king was very unhappy,
for he thought he should never see
his son again, because if he could not
love any of the beautiful princesses
he had chosen for him, he[was quite
sure he would find none in his travels.
For many months Prince ArnO trav-
eled without seeing anyone but peas
ants working in the fields, and then
one day, just as it was growing dark,
he spied far In from the road where
he was travelling a castle brightly
lighted.
Turning his horse into the path, he
rode up to the door, but what was his

the windows dark.
But as he was a brave prince he
dismounted and boldly walked up to
the door and knocked. A bent-over,

1t did not take the prince long to
fall asleep, In spite of his strange sur

that day. How long he slept he did
not know, but when he woke the
sound of music fell upon his ears.
Softly opening the door, he looked
upon a strange sight. A room full of
beautiful maidens dressed in blue were
dancing and swaying TO the music,
though where the light came from or
the music he could not make out.
Prince Arno knew he must be in
an enchanted castle and that some
strange spell was upon the place, and
he was determined to find out some
thing about 1t.
''Hold!" he cried, rushing into the
midst of the dancing group, and at
the same time he caught one of the
beautiful maidens by her arm.
