"THE LOST PRINCE"
By
Frances Hodgson Burnett
SYNOPSIS
-Marco Loristan was the kind of a

and his father, had travelled a great
..deal and the boy was proficient in
--several languages, so that -he felt at
(;}tome in whatever country he was
,staying. 'Marco knew that they were
.r'Samavians, that there was trouble
and bloodshed in Samavia at present.
?Ms father had told him' the story of
the Lost Prince, who might one day
,,return to Samavia and restore order
and peace. At present the.Loristan's
are in' London, England, and Marco
had 'encountered several interesting
people, among them, "The Rat," a
orippled boy who .commands a group
of willing boys -the boys listen at-,
tentively as Marco speaks! to them.
Later Loristan and Marco have a
long talk about Samavia, and the Lost
;'Prince, who had disappeared five
;hundred years ago. A secret society,
',with members in many European
.,countries, were preparing to put his
descendant on the throne of Sama-
via •and end the civil wars and blood-
•shed in the country. At a meeting
..of the Squad, The Rat fortes a sec-
ret society for Samavia among them-
-selves.
The Rat's father' dies, and Loristan
-invites the lad to live with him and
"Marco. The two boys plan to aid
-the cause of the Lost Prince. Marco,

it was then he spoke about the broken

in the world -that in all their differ-

and over again one thing thousands
of times:. Just this thing -`Hate not,
Fear not, Love.' And he said that was
Order. And when it was disturbed,
suffering cane -poverty and misery
and catastrophe and wars."
"Wars!" The Rat said sharply. "The
World couldn't do without war -and
armies and defences! What about
Samavia?"
"My father asked him that, And
this is what he answered. I learned
that too. Let me think again," and
he waited as he had waited before.
Then he lifted his head. "Listen!
This is it:
"'Out of the blackness of Disorder
and its outpouring of human misery,
there will arise the Order which is
Peace. When Man learns that he is
one with the Thought which itself
creates all beauty, all power, all splen-
dor, and all repose, he will not fear
that his brother can rob him of his
heart's desire. He will stand in the
Light and draw to himself his own.' "
"Draw to himself?" The Rat said.
"Draw what he wants? i don't be-
lieve it!"
"Nobody does," said Marco. "We
don't know. He said we stood in the
dark of the night -without stars --
and
and did not know that the broken
chain swung just above. us."
"I don't believe it!" said The Rat.
"It's too big!"
Marco did not say whether he be-
lieved it or not. He only went on
speaking:
"My father listened until he felt as
if lie had stopped breathing. Just at
the stillest of the stillness the Budd-
hist" stopped speaking. And there
was a rustling of the undergrowth a
few yards away, as if something big
was pushing its way through - and
there:was 'the soft pad of feet. The
Buddhist turned his head and my
father heard him say softly: "Caine
forth, Sister.'
• "And a huge leopardess with two
cubs walked out on to the ledge and
came to him and threw herself down
with a heavy lunge near his feet."
"Your father saw that!" cried out
The Rat. "You mean the old fellow
knew something that made wild beasts
afraid to touch him or any near,
him?" •
"Not afraid. They knew he was
their brother, 'and that he was one
with the Law. He had lived so long
with the Great Thought that all dark-
ness and fear had left him forever.
He had mended . the Chain" '
The, Rat had reached deep waters.
He leaned forward -his hands bur-
rowing in his hair, his, face scowling
and twisted, his eyes boring into
space. He had climbed to the ledge
at the mountain top; he had seen the
luminous immensity of the stars, and
he had looked down into the shadows
filling the world thousands of feet
below. Was there some remote deep
in him from whose darkness a slow
light, was rising?, All that Loristan
had said he knew must be true. But
the rest of it-?.
Marco got up and came over to
him. He Iooked like his father again,
"If the descendant of the Lost
Prince is ;brought backto rule Sa-
m'avia, he will teach his people the
Law of the One. It was for that the
holy man taught my father until the
dawn came." 1
"Who will --who will teach the
Lost Prince -,the new ,King -when he.
is found?" The Rat cried. "Who
will, teach him?'!
"The hermit rigid my father would.

"Yes," Marco answered. He said

young soldier who had escorted hiin

a small flat package.

WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING
I'PS STILL AT IT
Stange but true. Yes, it is strange
that sensible people fail to recognize
the danger that lurks in the quietest
looking water and stranger still that
folk venture out upon water where,
there is no supervision while within.}
five minutes' walk there are properly
supervised .bathing. accomodations.
Quite as perplexing is the way pal
ents have of allowing their children
to venture ovrt on water without their
being properly looped after. "He can
swim like a duck" parents tell you'
and then one clay there is a -tragedy,
with al? sorts of explanations. Let'
us not forget, 'yenng and old, that
rivers and lakes, whatever their placed
in the scheme of things are not toys..
They have deadly power that they
sometimes exercise with terrible
swiftness and finality.

RECKLESS DRIVING IS POOR
GAMBLE
It's difficult to guess at the mot-
ives which are impelling the driver
who refuses to dim his -headlight
bulbs in answer to a signal from an
approaching car. In effect the op-,
erator of the approaching machine is
saying: "Please, mister, your head -
lights aro too bright for me to see
and now if you dim yours, we'll both
be able to see. How about it?"
A driver has to be churlish .indeed
to refuse the appeal. And . yet some
citizens who are perfectly courteous'
in every other thing seem to forget
their manners when they climb be-
hind the wheel of a car.
The man who will patiently stand
in line at a theatre entrance or a
hockey game will become impatient
if he is held up for a few seconds on
the highway, and he wilt take chances
that not only endanger his own life
but the safety of other '.drivers in
the vicinity.
Actuaries have computed that an
average adult of 35 has 17,000,000
minutes yet to live. So the gambling
motorist whorisks his life to save a
minute is betting one against 17,000,
000, and that is even a worse percent-
age than on slot machines.
