“Rather an involved story,” thought Mother. But she said: “Well, now you must say your prayers and go to sleep.” It was so. In this frontier camp practically all the comforts that the civilization of a city could give were present: electric lights, ice, excellent stores—and the movie theatre. It was like transplanting a little corner of a city. For that matter, neither was she.

You can help if you find out and tell me who the man is.” Mark the deep empassioned woe! It is easy to imagine the festivities that now went on at the castle; masquerades, running at the ring, and tournaments attracted the greatest princes in the world; but even more were they attracted by the bright eyes of Moufette. Among those who were the handsomest and most accomplished in feats of arms, Prince Moufy everywhere was the most conspicuous.

No day passed but Prince Moufy showed her some fresh attention, in the hope of pleasing her, for he loved her deeply; and having offered himself as a suitor, he made known to the King and Queen, that his principality was of a beauty and extent that deserved their special attention. “Mr. Whitney told me something about it and the reason I’m late to-day is that I got mixed up in the mess—”.
