the princess,
to find the cause.
“yonder gallant knight,” answered
the monkey, pointing to a stalwart
horseman, armed cap-a-pie, who at
that moment rode through the crowd.
As he passed her by the princess
heard him say to his squire: “Wind a

Sweet and mellow the bugle notes
rang out in the clear air, and when &
space had been cleared in the center
of the throng, the shield of the gal-
lant knight was placed there, a bur-
pished disc of silvery radiance, in
which were reflected the passing
events as in a mirror. But even more
was shown from the magic reflector.
Yor every one who looked at his image
in the shield saw something he had
never seen before. Curious it was to
watch those who looked and passed
on. There came a pretty slip of a
girl, who posed in a vain attitude be
fore it. But in a moment, with a
blush, she turned quickly away. Quite
soberly she walked back to her place
in the crowd and awaited with inter-
_est the next who should venture be-
{ore the telltale mirror.
Presently the crusty old lord, whose

grinned and frowned at it,
t first what it was, but
when it g¥nned and frowned back at
him, he felt that it knew him, and he
turned away, sorely troupled at the
tcuth.
There seemed to be a wonderful at-
traction, too, about this radiant
shield, for one and all felt impelled to
gaze into its depths. The rays from
it were like warm hands drawing to
it the curious and timid alike. Some
went up boldly and with much bra-
vado stood gazing at their reflections,
while others turned sadly away.
The little princess had been a silent
observer of all this. A hush fell upon
the people as the gallant knight rode
over to where she stood. Making a
low bow, he said: “wilt your little
highness not gaze upon the shield?”
“Shall 1, dear monkey?’ asked the
little princess, somewhat abashed at
the presence of the stranger in armor.
“Surely,” he answered, “for is not
the owner a worthy knight, and one
who would allow no harm to befall
you.”

“hou speakest the truth,” said the
knight, looking keenly at the monkey,
“ihe shield harmeth none.”
So saying, he led the princess be-

It all seems so easy to the average
pedia and found that emperors, popes,
scientists and others have tried their
hands at fixing up a calendar. After
each “fix” the calendar would go along
until some one discovered that the
thing was out a day or a week, or a
month, and then some one else would
try it.
It will be recalled that our own B.
Franklin was born January 6, but
during his lifetime the calendar was
shifted and he had to get used to
celebrating his birthday anniversary
on January 17 instead.
