"But you look to be thirty."

"Well, we will shake hands and part, for I must go elsewhere; as I
have no king, I do not stop in one place."

And they shook hands and parted.




ELLEN'S LUCK.

Ellen was a good girl, and beautiful to look upon. One Sunday she
was walking by an open gutter in a town in North Wales when she
found a copper. After that day Ellen walked every Sunday afternoon
by the same drain, and always found a copper. She was a careful
girl, and used to hoard her money.

One day her old mother found her pile of pennies, and wished to know
where she got them.

Ellen told her, but though she walked by the gutter for many a
Sunday after, she never found another copper.
