the roads and into the nearby king

Two suns rose and sank before

King Herald sighed and looked
affectionately at Carl. He said,
"Son, go. But give heed to your
safety"
Carl was given the finest black
horse in the Kings stables. The
warmest fur jacket in the King S
wardrobe, and he took along those
precious arrows with the eagle S
feathers. He has kept them safely
all the years since the tournament.

British May Have Left
KowIoon, London Says

LONDON, Dec. 13 R).-An au-
thoritative source acknowledged to-
day the possibility that British
troops in the crown colony of Hong
Kong might have withdrawn from
Kowloon Gin accordance with plans"
but there was no confirmation OF
Japanese claim that the city had
been occupied.
Japanese military headquarters,
in an official radio broadcast, said
that its forces had occupied the city
and surrounding British territory
facing Victoria, across q stretch of
water from insular portions of the
great British naval base. Kowloon
is situated on the mainland.
Qn Toxic, Japanese army
headquarters said the fall of
Britain's crown colony Of Hong
Kong was imminent following
complete occupation of Kow-
loon.
(The Japanese Ambassador to
Argentina said today he had been
informed that the Japanese had
captured Hong Kong. Probably
he meant to claim Kowloon, in
stead, since that was the only
claim up to that time by <Japa-
nese imperial headquarters)
Occupation of Kowloon City, as
distinguished from Kowloon PENN
sula, would represent a penetration
of about Is miles into the crown
colony. The city has a population
of about 100000, almost entirely
Chinese.
The British source said that while

CHAPTER XII.
That night the Princess Hildur
fell into troubled dreams. She
hadn't slept an hour when she woke
with start because there was a
sharp, rustling noise outside her
window
She jumped up, lit a candle. and
ran to the window. There she saw
a great oak tree, the leaves dropping
from it. She stepped out on the
balcony, looked down, and there
stood the first witch with her hand
on the tree trunk. The tree was
dead.
The witch cackled, bent down and
touched rosebush which immedi-
ately dropped It's leaves. The witch
looked up at Hilder and grinned.
"Oh, please don't do that" said
Hildur.
Il can't help it," said the witch.
That's the way l am and I like II"
The witch touched white lily and
it turned black Then she dis
appeared.
Hildur ran quickly down the hall
to her parents room and told them
the story. The King looked quite
distressed. He hurried down to the
great hall shouting, Men, there is
an old woman in black In the castle
gardens. Catch her Immediately.
The guardsmen drew their swords
and ran in all directions through the
gardens. But they didn't find the
witch. Instead they found black
trail of dead bushes and trees. Sc
they quickly mounted their horses
and rode after her down the black
trail she had left. She few too fast
| for them.
When dawn came there was q
great fright through the whole
kingdom because she had slipped
across almost every hill and farm
and left a path of dead black crops
The King called in all his wise
men and they advised him to senc
