Sneaking of labor conditions, Dr. Sharp explained that each native be­ tween the age of 16 and 36 pays a tax of lCs. a year to the Government, and this brings in approximately £15,- 000.

But Tommy soon laughed the no­ tion off, and turning on his side, looked down into the ocean, when, to his sur­ prise and delight, a beautiful fish was swimming in the water -close by him, almosf’Clo&e enough for him to touch. The fish was. beautifully striped Avith blue, red and gold, and- its fins sparkled as if set with diamonds. It swam round and round, looking at Tommy as if it almost knew him, and its eyes had a look of intelligence not often seen in the fi-s-h family. Tommy was delighted, and gazed at the fish with increasing wonder, as it did not seem a bit afraid of him. He half wished he had a hook and line so he might catch it. But upon sec­ ond -thought it seemed- a pity to take the life of such a pretty, sociable fish. In a few moments, Tommy began to sing, “Pretty fish, pretty fish, come to me,” when, to his surprise, he heard his own name spoke, and it came right from the direction of the fish, and the fish had opened lts< mouth as' if speak­ ing.

Tommy drove Prince Envy off tho field, but not until he was himself wounded and two of hus guard' kilted. Prince Envy Avas also Avounded, but not •mortally, and none of his band were killed.

But after the fray he felt no more freedom in riding—he was always afraid -of meeting his foe. One day, Avhile feasting, he detect­ ed something unusual in one of the viands, and having it examined; found to his horror that It was poison, placed there by a servant whom he had punished for some trifling misdemean­ or.

So Tommy remembered King Span­ gle’s daughter, and passed on without noticing poor Floy. The poor girl gazed after hi-m with tears in her eyes in spite of herself, and went weeping homewards. Tommy reached his father’s cottage, and every time he ventured to speak a kind word to his gray-haired -mother and father, or do a klnd-h-eanted act for any one, the ring punished him severely, until at last he became so accustomed to cruelty and ill nature that he did not mind it at all, and the ring ceased to trouble him.
