Now it happened that he had three wives, two of them, Helen and Berda. had from long association with him also gained the love of sleep, but his wife. Marie, was more active and would sit third up half the night playing wierd, terrible imusic. XVretchY thought the sleep lovers, 'Uwe will be rid of thee and thy music. Verily, Frances shall carry thee away where we shall not see nor hear thee more. But luckily Lola, Marie's maid, divined their evil thoughts and to save her mistress brought the case before the enchantress who lived on the hill. The enchantress had three heads. The first was named Vivian, the second Ruth, and the third Edna, and indeed. she knew three times as much as any other enchantress. She gave Lola a drug to put in the tea of th Emperor and his two wives. Oh! reader, you Page Twenty-two are probably desirous of knowing what this drug did to them. Verily, it made them always hungry. Truly, Emperor Leslie ate up all the hot cakes in the while Berda and Helen ate equal amounts and fruit salad. In all truth, Edward, the swiftest runner in the empire, was kept busy serving them, Then were they miserable. We must have sleep and rest, they wailed, but they could have empire of pie neither while they ate or Marie played. Nearly ready to die in despair they appealed to the enchantress, who, having compassion on them said: I will free thee. but hereafter thou shalt sleep only twelve hours each day. Thou art good. they cried, we would gladly do as thou commandest, but how shall we sleep when Marie plays both day and night? From now on she shall play only from sunrise until sun- set, directed the enchantress. This arrangement was forthwith adopted and all lived peacefully thereafter. , fr. - Wa!

H. S.. whose custom it was to marry each day a beautiful senior princess. and then to cut off her head. Fear reigned among the small number of girls left. and each planned a way to save herself. The day Agnes was called. she took the King to the cafeteria, and there he feasted upon quantities of chicken pie. ice cream. cake, and maple nut molds. King, begged Agnes, when Philip had finished surely thou wilt take back thy terrible threat. VVretch. ctied Philip, l shall have thee killed. Sylvia. a damsel with eyes like a gaZelle's, promised King Philip that she would prepare his great mathe- matical documents. and thus save him endless labor. Alas! He would not listen. Her head was severed. Edith, nothing daunted, promised to beguile the hours for him by performing stunts learned while she lived in the Land of Gymnasium. Philip only yawned and ordered the slaves to kill her. Louise, sobbing bitterly, was called next. O mer- ciful one. wailed she. wilt thou travel with me to a land where beautiful music may be heard? lt is a new land, called New Band Room Land. No, roared the King, and he called his Vizier, Berton, and ordered him to drown her in boiling oil. YN , . Bring another senior, ordered Philip the next day, and Gladys was dragged in. That maiden, par- alyzed with fear, uttered no sound. When she heard the king order her to be killed. she began weeping and drowned herself in her own tears. Master, said Mildred. if thou wilt spare my life I shall give our basket ball team a magic food to make them grow taller. Then they shall defeat the mighty Newton tribe. Thou almost persuadest me, replied the man. No, thou. too, shalt die. Now there remained only two senior girls in this kingdom. If thou wilt do as I say, said Virginia, to Lucille, we shall both live for many years. To this Lucille consented. When the King sent for Virginia, she asked, My lord. may I bid farewell to my sister? Granted, he answered. My sister, said Lucille, when they had bade each other goodbye, v.'on't you tell me some strange tale. a story about the people in that land of W. H. S.? They gained the consent of the King. and thus, on the first night of the thousand and one. Virginia be- gan her stories. Page Twenty-one s '1-12' ,g - . , ,A . at, r We

Far off in a remote corner of this land in the city of 500, Queen Pearlanna ruled her little kingdom with great wisdom. The king was constantly waging war upon the smaller cities, for the sole purpose of conquest, but he had never succeeded in capturing them. No matter when he made the attack. they were always in arms and ready for battle. The King had four wives, Thelma Irene. Blanch, Gladys, and Miargaret, and he decided that they were betraying his plans, so he had them put to death. Then he made ready to attack the city of 209 and take the beautiful maiden Dorothy, captive. But again he found them ready for battle. The king was very angry and summoning his greatest warriors. Rowland and Edwin. spoke thus, Disguise thyselves and go forth into every city in the land until you find in which one dwells my betrayerf' Thus the soldiers went forth. each in a different direction. After many days Rowland came to the city of 509 where he met the queen's daughter, Princess Thelma. She immediately fell in love with him and told him the secrets for which he was seeking. I-lastening back to 204 he said unto King Ralph, ln the city of 509 dwells your betrayer, Queen Pearlanna, who, aided by her fairy godmother. has been able to discover thy plans each day, and every Thursday morning in a paper called the Messenger, she imparts them to all the cities of the kingdoms. On the following Thursday morning the king attacked the queen's city and because her subjects were gone out of the kingdom, delivering the papers unto the other cities, she could offer no resistance and so was taken captive. The king ordered her put to death, but when he gazed upon her beautiful auburn hair, he decided to make her his wife instead. They died many years ago. but now Prince Row- land and Princess Thelma are married and carrying on the work begun by Queen Pearlanna. If you doubt my story, go to any city in the land of Wichita High School on any Thursday morning and you will see every person reading his copy of the famous old paper, The Messenger.
