30 THE cI.E.Lnxt 'THE LITTLEPRINCE OF THE KINGDOM or LOVE. , --- in . Many,tmany years ago, far back into the dreamy ages of the past, there was aking who ruled'over a land as beautiful, 'as prosperous, as happy as was ever known. Heiwas a good king, faithful, kind and true, and loved his subjects and' his country better than his life. It has been said thatf the character of a people is at reliection of the character of their ruler. This was certainly true here, for the l-oyalty and devotion with which they gathered around their sovereign was as strong and changeless as that of the truest of the true who formed a part of the memorable Round Table of King Arthur. The trustand conndence he placed in them was fully returned by the adoration and 1101101-'i with which they regarded him. He was beloved by one and all, and in times of danger and trouble they flocked to his standard in a united, powerful force. The perfect harmony of their lives, the wonderful way in whichvthey worked together for the same cause, rendered them far above all neighboring-kingdoms. They prospered in wealth, their power increasing, until they became, in time, superior to all other lands. There had never been any dissension or quarreling, among them, for they lived in peace and happiness. They sliared each other's lives, the grief of one was the sorrow of the other. King and subjects,alike, stood strong and firm together. Through the despair of winter, through the joy of summer, they shared with each other their sor- rows and pleasures. 1 But there came a time when each true heart was caused deep and lasting sorrow. The wife of their noble king, their most beloved queen, died. She had lovedfand been loved by her subjects ,with a devotion even as great as the affection existing between them and their king. Her death was a source of keenest grief to them, which was atoned for only by the fact that she had left with them a son, the pride and joyof the kingdom. On him was lavished the love and adorati-on of a nation. He was their future ruler, their hope, in whom they were ready to trust. y g But the death of the queen well-nigh broke the heart of their ruler. Not even the mighty devotion of his ,people could atone for his loss. At length, he settledinto amelancholy unable to be broken even by the presence of his son, the little prince, two ,years old. In spite of the earnest endeavors of everyone, the good king sank lower andilower, until finally his life slowly ebbedfout, and left the Tii11gClO1l.7lii5Q.f5 Love without the rule of the wise monarch. The grief and anguish of the subjects could not well be expressed. Sincere sorrow rent every li,eai't-'gy-itli greatlpain, and it was some time before they remembered the little prince qi'- left to theimq . Alas! Now, for the first time, in the Kingdom of Love there arose an evil. It Wolf The S119-P6 Of the late king's brother, who now developed into a base, designing man, yet so cunning and scheming was he that the good, honest people of the good king believed him not false, but true and faithful as them-
