He had Idoltrd for bins almost eVcrywhere. Ole had whistled for him, and everyone else had whi-stIed but it was of no use. The golden cage that hang in •the King's bedchamber Was empty, and the Golder: Bird ,could not be found. At last the King had a bright idea. He sent for the Court Astrologer. Now the Court Astrologer was a clever man and could see everythieg, that, other people' see, and a good Many other -things. "Will you kindly look through your glass," .said the Xing, -"and tell me where to se my Golden Bird?" He has flown away'from Me." The Astrbloger obligingly, lifted his glass. "Yoer Majesty," he said; after peering for a moment, "your Golden Bird is sitting on the very tiptop of the MOuntain That Cannot Be Climbed," "Dear me, how unfortunate!" said the King. , "Do you think he intends to stay there?" • •4.. ,rather think he does," answered the Astrologer. "Ile seems to be hair- legg a very good time.", ' • "That will never do," said the Xing. "I shall' oversleep every I-nor/sing if the Golden Bird is not here to sing sawake. He must come home at once" - That was easily said, but how to get him home was a difficult matter. In•all the days of the kingdom no one had ever climbed that mountain. 4veryone said that it couldn't be done, " It was very steep and very high, so high that the clouds rested like a crown upon its head. No one had eVer wanted to climb it before. But now that the Golden Bird was up there and the Xing *anted him, every- thing wag different. The King thought- until his head ached, but could think of ao way of getting his bird. -Then he sent for his Wise Men. • "Will you kindly tell me," he said, •"how I aim to recover my Golden Bird? The Astrologer says that he is sitting on the very tiptop of the Mountain That Cannot. Be Climbed and of course he cannot hear me when I whistle," The Wise Men talked it over among themselims. • "This is a •serious matter, Yoer Majeity," they said, when they had duly censidered for an hour or so. "We 800 '.00 wey of recoveririg• the 'Golden • Bird,. unless- it lo barely poss4ale, Your Majesty, that, if some of us had wings, we might fly to the top 'of the mountain, and Capture him." "Excellent!" declared the Xing. "We'll do it!" • • The Xing ordered' a hundred. pairs of wings to be made at once, each pair large enough to bear the weight of a man. He the lesued a proclamation calling upon one kindred of his sub- jeets to learn to we the wings so that they could fly to the top of the nieuetain, "Half a kingdom to hire who shall bring back the Golden Bird," read the proclamation. • The wings vtere large enough to carry a man, and six time a hundred subjects came to try them; but not one could learn to use them. After practieing eleven and a half hours for thirty-nine days ail • that .the. Most skillful subject could do was to fiy to the palace roof, and then only when there was a good -wind behind him. . Meanwhile the Goldee Bird set hap- pily on the mountain tep,.--the 'Astrol- oger could see him all the time, - and the Xing slept later eve* morn- ing. - When the Xing himself had fasten- ed on a pair of wirigs and had found that even he couldn't fly very well he sent for the Wise Men again. He also sent for the Councillors, the Royal Tu- tors, the Cook, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and everyone else who had ester had occasion to think, and com- manded them to put their head e tos gether. "There must be some way of reach- ing my Golden Bird," he said. "I want you th Welt what it is." •1 g -ht the eldest . Councillor tirtudlY raised Isis hand, nil -May be," said he, "Lhat if all the people in the kingdom worked together,- they might • shovel' the mountain out from under him. But it would talce a long thee:" , "Never mind that," said the Ring. So the Ring had each of his sub- jects provided with a' shovel" and put to work shoveling away DM mountain. By the end of the lirst six. Months they had sucCeeded in digging' a ditch round the base of it. The Ring was in despair. "At tilia rate," he said, 'q1 will be at least two thousand years before I can get back my Golden -Bird, and It may -be that I shall not want„hiin then. It was 'about that, time that the Kingslept so late one morning *that he didn't wake up till the morning after. When his subjects heard about it they were plunged into .the deepest gloom: Everyone could see that that sort of thing could not go on, The King might get into the'habit of not waking up at all. . It was on the morning after the morning on which -the Zing had waked up a whole- day late that a- Young Phrspn presented hiniself 'at court and asked -to see -His Majesty.. "King," %lid the Yeurig, Person when he, was ushered into ;the royal presence; "Iam planning to bring down yeur, Golden Bird fectrn the top of the mountain." '. • The Xing stared at him in aston- ishment. "You don't mean it!" he cried, "How are you going to get hire?"• a • "I am going'to climb the mountain," said the, Young Person. "You can't. That's juSt the trouble. No one cam!" exclaimed- the Xing.. "Did, anyone ever try itr asked the Young Person, who spoke in a very polite. manner. • "Certainly not!" said the King in- dignantly. eThe Young Person bowed. very low. El beg pardon Your- 1VIejesty," he said, "bat may 8. ask why not?" • "Why not?" roared the Xing, much exasperated. "Don't 'you know 'that that is the Mountain That Cannot Be Climbed? Nvt•' what would he the use of trying to climb a mountain that cannot be climbed?" s • "With your kind permission," said the Young Person, "I shall try." " • At thia the Ring fussed and fumed and said that it couldn't be done. Then he sent for the Wise Men and told them about it. . • "Wm!" said the Wide Men. "Of course it can't, be done. However, he can do no harm by trying.". So it was settled. The Young Per- son took with him the,golden cage hi which to bring home the Golden Bird and etarted for the mountain. The whole court turned out to watch him. He scrambled through the ditch 'arid toop a step up- the onountaim Then -he took another step and another and be kept oil/taking, one step after an- other, The subjects gasped. He was climbing the Mountain That Couldn't Be Climbed! . The "Young Person kept right on climbing and climbing 'and after a long time, for the mountain was really very, steep and very high, he reached the top. The Golden Bird was des lighted to gee him, for he was getting tired of his own company. He fleet into the golden cage.irernediately, hop- ped to the perch anti sang all the way back to the King. . "r em very grateful," said the King when the...Young Peron handed him the cage. "I thought you coulde't do it. • Which half of my kingdom will you have?" ,"..You- are mostlind, Your Majesty,". said the Young Person, "but I beg you to keep both halves.. As for me, do not -need half, e kingdom,. for I an the king of Myself." The Young Person made a low boar and then departed from the- Kingdon of Neverwas. No one knows exact'y what became of him or where he went, for in that Iand they never saw or heard of him again. -Dorothy Arno Baldwin, in Youth's Companion. KNIGHTS OF ST.
