I'll marry. J.. Isn't that a fair bargain,

I'll marry Isn't that fair bargain,
Father?'
It's fair enough" said the King.
And one thing more" she added "Why
should these contestants enter the ring with
everything to gain and nothing to lose? The
loser should pay penalty. Let each one who
tries for my hand bring hundred horses with
him to Samarkand - and forfeit them to me
if vanquish him."
That settled the argument, as she knew 1t
would, for King kaidu was quite horse fan
cier Call the scribe at once" he said, land
let's get the proclamation written.
So notice went out over all the land and
many neighboring countries, with the vermil-
ion seal of King Kaidu stamped on each
document
This proclamation, writes Marco Polo, was
no sooner made than many came from all
paris to Try their fortune. The trial ,oas made
with great solemnity. The King took his place tn
the principal hall of the palace, with a large
company of men and ,Oonsen; then came the
Kings daughter in a dress Of cendal, rery richly
adorned: and next came the young man, also tn
dress of cendal . In this manner the dansel
gained more than ten thousand horses tor she
could meet no one able to conquer her, which
was no ,0oude1, tor she was yell made in all her
limbs, and so tall and strongly built.
IF these beasts don't stop pouring in,
complained the King, well soon need more
grazing lands!'
Yes said his Queen sadly. Our daughter
is too strong We pray for good husband -
instead we get horses!'
But Light of the Moon merely replied:
Must l surrender to weaklings? Let one
come who is able to vanquish me-"
AT LENGTH the exciting news came to Samar-
kand that out of the great northern steppes
the son of rich Khan was journeying to win
the hand of Light of the Moon. He was no
soft youth of luxury. He was warning prince
in the army of King Pamar, his father. He
was tall and handsome, and his muscles were
knotted throughout his entire body. Instead
of bringing with him hundred horses, his
retinue was leading full thousand.
As soon as Prince Mengu arrived. he was
presented to the court. As a gift for the Queen
he brought single flower carved of ivory,

of the Moon and told her how much she liked
the young Prince who came from the northern
steppes, land quite like the land of her birth.
He's no soft piece of dough-" she said. He
will not be defeated 50 easily. He's the one
who does the vanquishing. And any girl
should be proud of such husband"
Yes" agreed Light of the Moon. "A girl
could be proud of such man."
"Well?"
1T is hard to pretend to be overcome with
weakness when one is really filled with
strength A contest is contest"
You would gain thousand horses and
lose an entire kingdom?"
"A contest is a contest
In THE morning the King spoke to his
daughter He told her that the King of Pamar
was rich and powerful. and that he would like
to have this handsome Prince for his son-in-
law. And also, there was question of grazing
lands near the borders of the kingdom of
Pamar, and marriage between the two fami-
lies would solve this thorny problem very
nicely.
Therefore, my child, he continued. pre-
tend to be as strong as you like; but if you're
wise you'll be careful not to pin his shoulders
to the ground. Rather let it be the other way
round, for in this manner much is to be
gained"
She stood silently at his side, but did not
reply.
NEAR the gardens and clear pools of the
palace small arena was prepared. A great
rope of straw was woven and made into large
circle, into which fine white sand was raked
ankle deep And to provide shade for the con-
testants, strips of silken cloth were attached
to the tall carved columns of the palace and
loggia.
When they entered the sanded ring and
she threw off her cendal robe before a large
and notable attendance, King kaidu spoke
to his Queen:
How many times when she was an infant
did we pray that the gods might give her
strength? Well, they did. Now it's the other
way around Let us offer quickly silent
prayer that the gods may send her moment
of sensible weakness"
The Queen nodded and prayed, with an
ardent glance to the heavens.

WE WILL nov tell You strange history OF
w King Koidn's daughter.
So wrote the Venetian merchant, Marco
Polo, in the 7O0-year old chronicle of his
travels across Asia, to far Cathay
You must know then, he continues, that
King Kaidu had daughter, whose name in
the Tartar language means Light of the Moon.
She was very beautiful, but also so strong and
brave thai in all her fathers 1ealn, no man could
Guido her in teats Of strength.
Travellers passing through Samarkand,
where King Kaidu held his court, heard of
this young girls fame. and stories about
Light of the Moon and her marvellous feats
are recorded in the histories of the time. She
was as rugged, say the travellers, as the rock
of the Himalayas. Her horsemanship had no
rival, and she soon distinguished herself in
all the sports of her people; as for wrestling,
there was no one in the whole country who
could win over her.
LIGHT of the Moons story begins on that
day when her parents realized that she was
no longer a child, but handsome young
woman, and should be thinking of other
things besides sports.
One day King Kaidu said to his Queen:
Its high time these wrestling contests came
to an end"
Eyes Light of the Moon is now young
woman" said the Queen, land it's undigni
fed for her to engage in such violent sport.
Promise me you'll speak to her about it"
IN do Just that said King Kaidu.
The very next morning he sent for Light
of the Moon and they had heart-to-heart
talk. She admitted that it wasn't customary
for girls to enter wrestling ring with young
men, But like it, she added. I'm proud
of my victories, and can't see any harm in
wrestling"
"CERTAINLY there's no harm in it, )" said the
King. Nor is there any good in it,. And
you're getting too old to behave like tom
boy. It's time you were getting married and
settling down."
Light of the Moon had nothing to say to
that: she knew he was right.
The King continued: ''Your mother and
have been talking it over, and we're going to
start looking around for proper husband for
you among the princes of our neighboring
lands
"Oh, Father she pleaded, Il don't want
to marry just any old man selected by your
ministers. should hate that. / want to
choose my own husband" Her eyes lit up
with a sudden inspiration. Il have an idea:
let it be proclaimed all over the land - even
into far Mongolia and all the countries round
- that I'll meet in the wrestling ring any
young prince who presents himself. And the
one who can vanquish me - that's the one

Visitors To Modoc Receive
Souvenirs OF Coast
Guard Vessel

The last public inspection of the
Coast Guard Cutter Modoc, prio-
to its departure for Norfolk Sun
day afternoon, was held yesterday
aboard the ship from nine in the
morning until five in the afternoon.
Wilmingtonians taking advantage
OF probably the last opportunity
to view the veteran craft were
rewarded with souvenirs in the
form Of Christmas cards and hoIi-
day menus by members of the
crew.
Commander George Bowerman,
ships captain, said last night that
the cutter will leave for Norfolk
Sunday, with the final destination
Curtis Bay, Maryland, where the
Modoc will be turned over to Coast
Guard authorities there for final
disposition. The crew will then
transfer to the new cutter Mendoza
for duty.
Commander BoWerman said it
was hoped that the Mendoza could
return to Wilmington before the
start of the ice patrol sometime
late in the winter or early spring.
A going-away party honoring the
officers and enlisted men of the
Modoc will be held at the USO
club tonight beginning at eight
o'clock. Around $50 are expected
to take part in the celebration,
which will feature dancing until
midnight.
