THE STORY OF THE PANTOMIME.

Once upon a time there was a certain. Queen, whose name was
Goldenwing, and who had a very large family of daughters. Her
husband having long since been dead, the family was a source of
great anxiety to her, and she kept them at home, as well as she
could, in a beautiful bower of roses and lilies. Her eldest daughter,
the fair Brillianta, was so exceedingly handsome that she attracted
the notice of Prince Eblis, who sought her hand, but was rejected,
not only by the young lady, but by her mother and all the
family. Shortly. afterwards the Prince Peacock, a gay bachelor,
whose domain joined that of the Queen Goldenwing, becoming
tired of single blessedness, proclaimed that he would give a
grand ball, and invited everybody, far and near, in the hope
that from amongst the ladies he might select a wife. The
fair Brillianta, with all her sisters, went to the Prince's ball,
where he at once became enamoured of her, and arrangements
.ir marriage were being made by Queen Goldenwing,
'rince Eblis, hearing of this, became so enraged that,
te Queen was at the Palace of Prince Peacock, having sent
her children home to the Bower, he resolved to burn that beautiful
place to the ground, and all the family in it. Fortunately the
fair Brillianta remained with the Prince, carefully enclosed in a
large and lovely rose, to guard her from harm. As the Queen and
the Prince were looking from the battlements of the Palace at a
great comet which appeared at that time, a lurid, light was
observed in the sky, while voices in the air warned the Queen of
what was doing by. singing, " Ladye Bird, Ladye Bird, fly away
home, your house is on fire, your children et home." On hearing
this the Queen became alarmed, and, with. the Prince and her
daughter, attended by the Double-faced Guards, who never turned
their backs on an enemy, because they could not, flew to the scene
of the'conflagration, where, in spite of the exertions of the good
fairy firemen, the Prince and ,his Guards were completely van-
quished by Prince Elbis, and Brillianta was nearly in his power
when King Fog, who had one night protected some of the little
ladye bird children of Goldenwing, when they had stayed out too
late and become lost in his mists, suddenly appeared, and, calling
to their aid a shower of rain, not only extinguished the flames of
the burning Bower, but so befriended Prince Peacock and the fair
Brillianta, that they eventually became united and lived happy
ever after.
