1t has been long time since I
have seen a chariot race, but I
remember watching a few of them
during my boyhood
ChariotS went out of fashion MANY
hundreds Of years ago, so you may
wonder how could have seen a race
Of that kind. The answer is that I
saw chariot races at a circus while I
was boy. Whether the events took
place at Ringing Bros. or Bar
mum & Bailey'S, I am not sure.
Those circuses later were combined.
1t was interesting to see chariot
races under the big tent, but I had
little knowledge of the history of
the chariot. did not know, for ex-
ample, that chariotS had been used
for any purpose except races and
war.
A chariot may be described as a
two-Wheeled cart drawn by horses
and with basket in which a man
can stand
Kings of ancient Egypt used
chariots for hunting, and so did the
kings Of Babylonia and ASSyr1a. To
make the hunting easy for the
monarch. his servants had a little
custom Of putting wild animals in
/ cages and letting them out at the
right moment!
! One servant acted as driver of the
chariot, leaving the kings hands
free to hold the spear or bow and
arrows, which he used in hunting.
When the wild animal was set free,
the king would huTl a spear or
would shoot one or more arrows.
Sometimes lion which had been
let out of a cage became very dan
gerous when it was wounded. There
were men near the kings chariot,
however, to guard him against at
tack. In case of need, they would
use spears or bows and arrows to
save their master from harm.
ChariotS also found a place in
ancient paradeS or professions. Ro-
man generals were fond of riding
in chariots through the streets of
Rome after they came back from
victories in foreign lands.
Chariots were employed on many
hattlefelds during ancient times.
The PersianS had chariotS with
knives or scythes which jutted out
from the aXles. The idea was TO
cut down soldiers when a chariot
was driven through the ranks of
/ the enemy.

What can be the matter with
her?' cried the King as he sat be-
side the child's bed and held her
hot hand in his.
The best doctors in the land were
there but they could only gaze sor-
rowfully at one another and shake
their heads.
ut is the fever" they said. THE
poor Princess will never smile
again"
But that can't bel" protested
the King. Indeed, he could not
imagine his happy daughter with
out a smile on her lips.
But the doctors persisted. You
see" explained the eldest doctor.
When the fever comes 1t squeezes
the heart into a tight knot and
there is no room for smile" He
paused to wipe his eyes. then said,
And the heart that has no joy
soon stops beating"
You mean my child will die?"
cried the King.
Yes" said the doctor She will
surely die unless she smiles with
in three weeks, that is to say. good
big Smlle-at least a three inch
smile
Different Child.
Then the doctors went away. For
three days and three nights the
King sat by his child's bed. On the
fourth day the fever was gone and
the little girl could sit up by her
self. But, what a different child
she was!
The King could scarcely recognize
her, so sad were her eyes and so
solemn the little mouth.
Tell me, little daughter" begged
the King, tell me what can give
you to make you happy. Think,
surely you must be able to think
OF something that would make you
smile again.'
But Ruth shook her head. MY
heart seems strangely empty" she
whispered sadly. And l can FIND
no JOY there
Then the King was filled with
grief and everyone in that happy
land was SorroWful.

CHAPTER l.

Once, long, long ago, there was
a happy land called CAMERON and
the King who ruled there was so
wise and so kind that, truly, there
was no sorrow in all that kingdom
1t was land of plenty where
there was work for all and food
for all The children grew up in
health and happiness and it seemed
that the sun was always shining.
Beautiful gardens surrounded the
Kings palace, and in the summer
time, anyone who wished could come
there and walk among the flowers.
In the Wintertime, the palace itself
was open to all who chose to come
in and warm themselves before the
fires which always blazed on the
great open hearths.
Happiest Girl.
The King had a little daughter
named Ruth and in all that king
dom of happy people, little Ruth
was perhaps the happiest. Her
eyes were always laughing and
bright with the mere pleasure of
being alive. 1t might be said that
Ruth did not know even the mean
ing of sorrow.
Every year the King gave a great
Christmas festival for all his peo-
pie. He raised giant fir tree in
the palace courtyard and decorated
it with silver balls and blue candles.
And beneath The tree he laid mag
nificent presents for his people.
Then everyone in the Kingdom
gathered for singing and dancing
and feaSting.
How the children and groWnupS
alike loved these festivals! They
talked of nothing else for weeks
ahead and for weeks afterwards.
They loved their King and the
Princess Ruth and know how for
tunate they were to have such peo-
pie ruling in their land.
Terrible Happening.
Now everything went well In
CAMERON until the Princess Ruth
was 10 years old. In that year.
exactly three weeks before Christ
mas, very terrible thing happened.
The little Princess fell i'll
