Ye Tale of Ye Adventuresome Youth and Ye Far-away Princess PART I The Youth Setteth forth upon His Way NCE upon a time, in a strange and far- away land, there lived a Youth who loved adventure. To him, dreaming one night, there came a vision, of a maiden fairer than any he had ever beheld. Now this maiden was a Princess, dwelling in a castle many miles away, yet such was her beauty and wisdom that the Youth had no sooner awakened than he set forth in quest of her, content, if need be, to wander to the ends of the earth. As he fared forth, he came to the boundaries of a Country where many Learned Elders abode and went about instructing all who came. And lo, so many were the Inhabitants thereof, that though the land was exceeding large and spacious, yet was there scarce room enough for them all, so that they jostled one another on the high-ways and could scarce eat in comfort. Flowing through the center of this Land was a wide and deep River, called the River of Knowledge, whither the Learned Elders sought to lead the Inhabitants. These, in sooth, though desirous to drink of the waters of this stream, constantly were halted on their way by the many clamorous Tribes that lined the River-banks, who, albeit exceeding quarrelsome among them- selves, were marvelously hospitable to the passing Stranger, desiring each to ensnare him into its midst and rob him of all he had. Certain of the Tribes spoke strange Tongues, the like of which the Youth had never heard. Others, with bulging foreheads and attenuated frames, busied themselves with writing weird cal- culations upon the trees ; their efforts being inspired by one Sir Harold of Curtisse, a painstaking man, and kindly withal. One Tribe in especial, composed of eleven doughty members, armed with pri nted slips of exceeding smallness, pursued the Youth for nigh on a mile, seeking to make him sign away his inheritance. And lo, when he refused their solici- tations, one up-standing damsel, who, it appeared, did manage the Exchequer, threw him down with ease upon the ground, commanding that a minion should sit upon his head until he did relent. Of such formidable aspect was this maid, that fear lent wings unto the Youth and he fled away from her with great swiftness, clutching his moneys to his heart. Nine
