He was im mediately seized with violent pains, incessant retching, and other alarming symptoms, requir ing the aid of the surgeon, under whose care he remainel for eighteen months from that time when ho was discharged asunserviceable.

The second son was a scholar from his earliest youth he had pored over books and he remembered what was in them even after he had finished reading them; he knew all about the habits of animals, and he looked at the stars through a long tele scope of his own invertion.

Early the next morning the three youths they wore all grown up-started on their search. The eldest son took his swiftest horse and went offat a gallop. He had not gone vory long before, he met a man who was alas riding on a swift horse in the same direction. He asked him where he was going, and the second man said he was looking for the Bilver Mountain, as he heard that the man who found it should inherit a rich kingdom

So he rushed into his father's bed-room crying, "Father, I have found the ilver Mountain-it was here the whole time at home-and we have all lived on the top of it without knowing it.'
The King was very pleseed to see his son," and he said: "My son, what you say is quite true and you shall inherit my kingdom."
