She wat hardly covered,-' but gave

She wanted to cross the, street, but
wondered how she was going to do it
She was to old and walked to slowly
someone was sure to run over her.
Children were running home from

hurrying home. She started to cross
several times, but had to turn back
every time. "At last Jeame' th boy

rich king, who had a large number I

Yeart before the , wise "wen had
told the king to put' Princess, ym

island. .Because she -would surely
bring great trouble to their king
dom if she was Jot locked up. in the
tower, for she was born to the lung
and queen with a terrible misfor
tune upon her. The king immedi
ately became afraid and was so ter
ribly alarmed that he locked his
only beloved daughter, Princess
Vincala. up in the tower. '

and charged across the small strip
oMand between the ship and the
tower. She heard heavy blows of
axes at the foot of her tower. Then
how frightened : Princess Vincala
was when she heard, heavy foot
steps climbing the tower stairs. Her
locked door burst open with a bang.
Without a word she was clasped in
strong arms and. carried to the ship.
They took Princess Vincala to an
uninhabited island and left her there
alone., : She wandered around the
island for many days and lived on
berries and wild fowl eggs. At last
she was found by a tribe of Indians.
Princess Vincala was taken to their
camp and the great Chief White
Feather fell in love with her. ' She
married the chief and lived happy
ever after.: One day the king, her
father, wandered for miles on the
islands hunting and -came upon his
daughter and Chief White Feather
inrv- in their besvtiful wigwam.
frincess Vincala and Chief White
Feather invited the princess' father
to make his home with them. - - -

Saving the Wagon Train.
The little French girl. Jacqueline, '
sat at the front of one of the wagon

Her dark, dreary eyes were turned
towards theearby hills. ,She tat
quiet thus for about 15 minutetv .
when suddenly the dreaminess left ,

she crept to the back of the can vat
covered wagon.' She watched with '
eager eyes and seeing something that "'
evidently, did not please her. ShV
swung herself to the ground and
mounted a pony tied to the back of
the wagon. Jacqueline drove lier
little boots into the pony's flanks,
rode up to her father, the commander
of the little band oj French Hugo
nots. He leaned over as she'whit
pered in his ear, "Daddy, the Indiana,
are surrounding us: draw up the
circle." The man did not' look on
either side of him' as lie rode to tha
end of the train, having told' ma
daughter to ride to the .front ' and.
stop the train.1 Soon the train waa
drawn up in an uneven circle. -

"Clip my whiskers,, if I didn't tea
one, yesterday " answered the tquir

"She was a pretty good tized one
and I think she had just come off of
her nest. I. didn't pay much, atten
tion to , her, -as I was busy- huntin'
for some nuts I buried last fall."
The squirrel kindly-led the threa

the creek and pointed to the placa
where he had seen the turtle. - Th "
Indian's keen eyes soon found the
place where the nest was and, chop
ping a stick with his tiny ax, he aet
to work digging in the: sand. Pres- -ently
he uncovered a white object
and in a few minutes he lifted a big
white turtle egg out of the hole. -
"There, that will keep us in. food
for a long time," said the Indian, a
he rolled the egg opt. "Now we fill
the hole np again and ihe turtle ah
