"They shall be wiped out In blood , " he
tu1cd , foroclonlly.
But just then lila purpose was dIverted by
the greedy , envIous glances wIth which his

Ho : ' slpped his sword hack Into the sclhhard

Then they fled the hrohen parte ) or the lid
Into place and wrallped the box around with

MeanwhIle three ruffians had taken a brand ,
tram the fire and crossed the dry channel to
the mound After poking about In all Ilrec-
tons they returned triumphantly with the
riles which Plnlt and the boys had concealed
behInd the temple.
At a word front Mogul MIr the prlsoneri
were now roughly eelzee anti stripped or

orered no resIstance , liar dill they beg for

There was I moment or thrilling slenc ,
Then Mogul MIr stepped back I tow paces
and Instantly. -e though this were n pre-

For an Instant Pink reeled like a drunicen
man , and glared ] at the drawn weapons. Irlnltn
made a stell forward , lIfting up emi nrm. le
"Stop , Soubllarl" : ' he exclaimed In a tone
or hoarse ant agonized entreaty ; "grnnt me
a worl before you begIn this bloody deed "
The troopers 10urlsh d their tulwars In a

or discontent.
"ChUII ! Chup ! . impatIent ones , " growled
Mogul Mlr. "Iet the dog speak , "

"Once upon n time , " Irs , Meadows began ,
rubbing her chin thoughUllr , "there was
a country that sumdtlemihy found Itself withroumt

people In some parts or the world began 10
think It was ullnshionable to have kllgs , , I
don't know what tine trouble was exactly ,
whether the king died or whether he was
carrIed oft or whether Ito did something to
cause the people to take away hIs crown
and put him In the calabooso.
"Anyhow , they sUidenly found themselves
without n king , and It made thel feel very
uncomlortable. They were so restless amid
uneasy that they couldn't rest ! well itt night
They were lit time habit oC having a king to
govern them , and they felt very nervous
without one
"Now In that country : here were cloven
wise men whose trade It was 'to give al-
vice Insteal of failing out anti wrlgllg
wih one another amid rullllg thllr busl'

copartlershlp and set UII n sort oC store where
anybody ali everybody could get /1\110 by
the wholesale or retail . I don't klow I
whether they charged anything because ,
there lever has been a time since the world
had moro than two people inn II that advice
wasn't as cheap ns uhirt.
"Tho eleven wIse mel were tinere ready
to give lvlee , all 80 time people went to
them and asked them . how to select a Idng
The eleven wise men put theIr heads together -
gether , anti after awhile they told the people
that they must select nine or their best len
all send them . out our tim roads leadllg to

found n lan sleeping In the ( shade or a tree
they were to watch him for four hours , amid
Ir the shadow ot the tree stool still so as ,
to keep the sun from shining on him he was
tine ole to select for their king. Then the
ele\en wise men , looking very solemn , hawed
the people out , arid the people slectel nine or ,
theIr best mel to fifth them a king.
"Now It happened that In I part or the
country not far from the capital city there
lived a boy with hIs mother and stepfather
