you are entirely without tear. I know
of a plaeo where, 5'11 wager a thousand
pieces of gold, yeti w0111dn't stay for
twenty-four hours without being fright-
ened."
"5 should like to try 11," returned
Prince Fearless; "11 I fah, you shall re-
ceive a thousand pieces."
As dusk was fast coming on, the
baron told the prince to follow him,.
and he would lead him straightway to
the place,
It was nightfall when the two drew

twenty heads in unison.
Tom and TM could have remalneel for -
hours watching this performance, but
the king called them away to take a.
ride on the dolphins.
"We might have taken the whale," he
remarked, "had I not sent hint away,.
for Ills health for a couple of days,"
And a fine ride they took -round about

'Come along, then," he commanded.
Striking the ground in front of him
with his trident, a deep thole appear-

where the three stood.
Piing Neptune, for 010 the old man
was named, took Tid's hand while
'lid took held of Ton's. Then they
carefully descended.
It became darker and darker the fur-
ther they want, until they couldn't see
the steps before them. All at once, the
three of them to nbled head first down
through the pitchy darkness. After a
while It grow lighter and they brought
up suddenly on e. pile of seawweeds,
"Gracious!" exclaimed the Icing, "those
swordfish have again sawed awaythe
lower part of the stairs, They shall not
go unpunished this time."
"Why, we're under the water)" cried
Tom and Tid together, as they noticed
for the first time that the lights they
saw around them came from wonderful
sea animals, carrying what looked nice
eleclrlo globes. Fish darted around them
,on every side, and they walked over
strange weeds and creepers.
After some thought, Tom said, "It's.
funny we don't drown."
"That's because you're with me," ex-
plained Tieing Neetune, "No harm can
ever come to my Aueate."
Leading the Way, Xing Neptune
brought them to the door of a great
caste, guarded on each side by a fierce -
looking shark.
The king patted the sharks on the
snouts, just as Tom and Tld caressed
their dog, and the three passed through
into a large hall. Then from every di-
1•ectien swam pretty mermaids. Tom
and Tid knew they were mermaids, be-
cause they had seen pictures of them in
their story -books at 110,00.

Xing Neptune, smiling, "only I think I

Four eyes glistened with joy. "Thank
you," their owners said, "we'll visit von
often, anyway, so 11 will be just 11ke
having them borne."
"Which, by the way, reminds ale that
your aunt will be worrying about you
1f you don't reach Home within the next
few minutes," returned the king.
They rode back to the ea0tle, where
they said good-bye to the mermaids, who
gave them all the pearls they".. could
carry.
Bing Neptune then led them back to
where they had come down. "Now that
the stairs are out 00 use, we'll have to
put you on the volcanic elevator," said
he.
Directing them to stand on a square
piece of root, he waved his hand in
parting and turned onthe volcano.
Instantly the rock moved upward
through &dark passage, like that occu-
pied by the stairs.
Tom. and T1d sat rubbing their eyes
and staring at each other, in the very
same spot on. the beach from which
they had commenced their queer Jour-

"G-oodness, wish I was a frog," gasp-
