With these words the dwarf pulled out

muttering some strange words, blew
them into the air, and there stood four
tail0rs, nj Of whom held q web Of the
finest linen and . cabbage; the second.
scissors and needles, and the third and

four sat down at once and commenced to
rev.
In twinkling the web Of linen was
transformed into . snowy fustanelle and
: shirt with wide, flowing sleeves, and
the leaves Of the cabbage were made into

velvet, Ill thickly embroidered with gold:
two f0x-glove bells were turned into two

Who flew straight to the Enchanted
Island. There he took again the form Of

the fairy, who seemed at once to be
charmed with the sight Of 80 handsome
. youth.
"Well, said the fairy to herself. edo
believe ! could love him a week"
The Mike made all possible ceremony
10 onchant the senses Of Euranie in hel
new character, and when seated at the
table she found the knife that Nicolakj
had let fall there. She hid it in heI
bosom and followed the Mike. who
wished to show her al the gardens and
fountains Of perfumed waters, and above
all the fish pond, where SWAN fishes of a
thousand colors.
Euranie pretended great curiosity to
see these fish and sat down quite close to
the edge.
The Mike now took occasion to ask il
the youth would marry her and Euranie
consented, only saying that she would
like to catch n of these beautiful fish
first. The Mike unsuspiciously handed
her the net and said: "What would Won
like best to catch?"
1.-THE enchantress!" cried Euranie,
throwing the net over her head. "In
the name OF the Pania and all the angels.
accursed ~sorcercss, become in body as in

With q stif1ed cry, the MIKE shriveled
up to . hideous toad. Euranie drew the
net and ~ quickly a. possible threw Il
into 9 deep pool, and ~thereupon she laid
. great stone and marked the sign of the
cross thereon, that it mightremain closed
until the Judgment Day.
She then hastened back to the pond
and all the fish were coming out OF the
pool and wriggling forward to meet her,
crying out:
Behold our deliverer, who has saved
M from the net Of steel and the golden
frying-pan."
"And who viii restore Won to Won,
own proper FORMS" said abe, drawing
out of her bosom the knife. But az abe
was going to touch the first iash, q little
green frog, with the magic bell HUNG
around his neck, sobbing bitterly, kneli
before her, his two tiny hands held up in
supplication. She looked and cried:
els it thou, Nicolnki, my love?"
1T is !, indeed, Eurnnie."

his own shape and the two embraced
tenderly, he begging and receiving par.
don for his unfaithfllness. So then abe
touched all the fishes, who were imme.
diately released from their enchantment
and restored TO their proper forms.
Hardly was that done when up came the
little dwarf husband Of the Mike. drawn
in his nest, - II it were q coach, by sis
crickets which had just been Matched
from the stone eggs.
"Here / am pretty maiden" cried he,
and l am glad to be . man again in.

He then led the lovers to the Mixes
treasure room, and loaded them with
gold and jewels. Euranie then com
manded her staff to become : winged
chariot large enough to Garry OF all the
enchanted.people. She and Nicolaki re-
turned to Arnak, and instead Of q poor
little cabin, with . little COW and q lean
pig, they build q castle and village out
