they could look forward to a few

had gone out into the world, and vis-
ited other countries and their courts.
When he returned and became king,
he lived as no Samavian king had
lived before. He was an extravagant,
vicious man of furious temper and
bitter jealousies. He was jealous of
the larger courts and countries he had
seen, and tried to introduce their cus-
toms and their ambitions, He ended
by introducing 'their worst faults and
vices. There arose political quarrels
and savage new factions, Money was
squandered until poverty began for
the first time to stare the country in
the face. The big Satnavians, after
their first stupefaction, broke forth
into furious rage. There were mobs
and riots, then bloody battles.' Since
it was the king who had worked the
wrong, they would have none of him.
They would depose him and stake his
son king in.his place. It was at this

page, found hidden in a closet, owned
that he had seen His Royal Highness

And in this strange way out of the

years before Marco's day, the young

himself the old song of Samavia's
beauty and happiness. For he was
