Ricardo one morning, ‘‘here’s
a queer letter for me!”

King Prigio had gone to a
Zr distant part of his domin-

tance, and the young people
were sitting in the royal study.
The letter, which
Z Ricardo handed to
aa Jaqueline, was writ-
ten on a great broad
sheet of, paper, folded
up without any en-
velope, as was the
custom then, and was
sealed with a huge seal in
J red wax.

said.

“Oh, Ricardo, how you do neglect your
Heraldry! Old Green Stocking is in despair
over your ignorance.”
