S A N D A L P H 0 N The King's Highway VIRGINIA HAROLD Graduate HE sun was just rising as the young knight, accompanied by his faithful squire, set out on his journey to the .Palace of the King. Ile was singing a song, for the day was new and his heart was as light as the rosy clouds above him. 'l he way before hiIn stretched smoothly inviting, so he gaily rode along untroubled by his quiet companion. Presently coming to a cross-road he halted. Toward the right the path turned upward, steep and rocky, but that on the left sloped gently downward hedged in by strange gaudy flowers. Although he knew the upward path was the one he should follow the youth hesitated. The other was decidedly more attractive. Turning to his squire he said, Come, let us follow this other road for a little way. It is early and we shall not go far.', t'Nay, II1HSt0I', let us hasten on in the rightful path, for although it be early, if we are to reach the Palace before nightfall we must lose no time. The youth coaxed and bribed, but the squire remained firm. Finally in exasperation the knight exclaimed: If you will not come then I shall go alone. Do you stay here and presently I shall return. So saying, he turned toward the left. The squire, unseen, followed him for a short distance and then disappeared behind a thick hedge that skirted the roadway. The youth rode slowly on. The newness of his surroundings thrilled him. Odd birds of glistening plumage fiitted about the trees. Strangely enough they did not sing, but chattered harshly. Soon the knight forgot that he should re- turn, forgot his squire, forgot that his journey lay in another direction, forgot -for the gaudy tiowers breathed a dangerous perfume. At length he came to a handsome Inansion whence issued the sound of loud music and laughter. Ry the gate he saw a man and approached him intend- ing to find out who owned this beautiful place. The man turned to him and loleit was his squire! How came you here? Master, I have ridden beside you all along until a short time ago I hastened on so that I eould meet you here. 'tSo! You are indeed a faithful squire. Can you tell me the owner of this? and he waved his hand toward the Inansion. Yes, sire. This is the heme of the powerful lord whom they call Pleasure. Ry Inany he is considered a kind and merry master. And so he is for a time. After a while he grows selfish and exacting and often cruel. Do not serve him, youth, but let us turn back and hasten on our journey,', explained the squire. Nay, this seems a jolly place to me, my Squire. Stay awhile. Youth, I cannot allow you to linger here. If stay you must, then first eontend with me. Come, it is too pleasant a day to quarrel. Let us compromise. I shall not enter here but let us ride together a little farther CH this path. I find it to my liking. The squire was reluctant. Ilowever, as the knight persisted, he was com- pelled to follow him. Presently they Inct a peasant. trudging along with lowered head and lagging footsteps. The squirc whispered to the knight, By your knightly honor are you not bound to help the weak? Surely this man is in need of assistance. Being really kind at heart, the youth drew rein and inquired, Good man, whence come you and whither are you bound? page seventy-four
