and SO kept hid, for he was still afraid
of the wicked fairies.
One day he heard the beautiful
lady and her husband talking together
about going to a new world, which
was just what he expected, because
he himself had put it into their heads.
And when they were all ready to go
on the ship, he kept winling and
winking, and the lady thought, as the
fairies did, that the violet was crying.
She thought she was so sorry to be
left behind, and so she took it with
her across the sea. And she saved
all the seed that had grown, and gave
some to other ladies, and planted
some in other pots, and in the earth
of the new country, or "New World"
as they called it, where they then
lived. And when the seed grew and
blossomed again, the violet was larger
and brighter than ever, because Pan
wanted more room, and it had more
and brighter celors, and one day a
little son of the beautiful lady was
looking at the largest violet, and he
thought he saw it wink with one eye,
just as his papa had taught him to do
in fun; and he called his mamma, and
told her what he had seen, and she
laughed and said it must have been a
fairy's eye winking at him; and as
she had been reading to him about
Pan few days before. he said he
knew it was Pans eye that winked,
and after that they called that violet
Pans eye, or Pansy for short; and
Pan is there still, and, though he
comes out and watches the lambs and
feeds the bees, he cannot play any
tunes now, because he never can get
pipe to suit him like The old one,
and he is so fat now that he could not
blow any GOOD tunes anyway.
But now you know how the pansy
grew and was named, and that the
fairy didn't die at all, but is peeking
and winklng at every little boy and
girl who looks him in the eye, which
is the Pansy, and the children's ia
vorite flower for the emblem of the
New World or America; and the
motto is: Couture and Peace" -

Pan, the Piper.

away country that now we call line
Old World" lived good fairy by
the name of Pan. He was strange
looking fairy, having a face and body
like man, and legs and Whiskers like
goat. But he was merry and
kind-hearted sprite, and always
watched the sheep and lambs while
the shepherds were asleep, and at
night he would fill the cups of the
flowers, the clover blossoms and
honey-suckles and butter-cups, and
all Of them, with honey for the bees;
and then he would sit down to rest
beside the brooks and lakes and
rivers, and play on funny little
mouth-organ, or pipe, he called it,
though it was not at all like smokers
pipe, and all the fishes would hear
him, and come leaping up at the fire.
flies that were dancing above the
waves.
And so all the shepherds and the
sheep, and all the bee-keepers and
the bees, and all the fishes and fisher
men, and almost every one and every
thing loved this merry fairy, who was
happy because he made 80 much
happiness, and who didn't seem To
care if his feet were goats feet, so
long as he could skip and dance.
But there were some other fairies
who didn't like Pan, because he
wasn't shaped just like them, and yet
he seemed happier and was better
loved than they. And SO they made
it up between them one night that
they would put him out of the way.
A little bee who had gone farther from
home than usual, and staid later, and
got such big load of houey that he
had to stop often to rest, heard these
cruel fairies talking together, and said
to himself that he would tell Pan that
night, as soon as he could get home
and leave his honey. And so he flew
home as fast as he could, and when
he came out again after he had left
his load, it was quite dark, with only
a few stars shining, and such dew
falling everywhere that he could hard
ly fly; but he heard Pan playing on
his pipe, and he flew as fast as he
could but it seem a good deal far
ther than he thought, and he was
afraid lie might not be able to get
back; but he though if he could only
get to him, that Pan would help him
to get back, and so he kept on, and
the music grew palmer to hear, and
just as his wings had got so wet and
tired that he could not flap them an
other stroke, he buzzed past the ear
of Pan, and dropped in the grass be-
side him. Pan heard him, and stopped
playing. He wondered how any bee
could be flying so late, on such
dark, damp night; and as he lay there
buzzingin the grass, Pan said to him;
"Hello, Buzz-fuzz! What's the mat
ter? Don't you know it's past bee
bedtime? or did you get dizzy hear
ing my tunes, and watching the fire.

lower, and Pan put down his ear and
the bee told him all he heard the cruel
fairies say, and Pan said, "Whew!
ginger blue! that's really newt" and
he dropped his pipe in the water, and

dry. "Dear bee," he said, "you
are my best friend. What can | do
for you?" "Please carry me home,
I I'm 50 tired, and tell me, dear Pan,
what else can do for you" He
told him to tell all the bees that he
was gone away, and would not be
bach for long, long time; and the
bees were to tell the fishes, and the
fishes were to tell the firefies, and the
frefies were to tell the bats, and the
bats were to tell the owls, and the
owls were to boot all night, "Whoo!
WHO'D! Panl Pan! Dead! Dead!
Dead Pan! Dead PAM"
And the next night the cruel fairies
listened for the music of Pans pipe,
but could not hear it; and they went
looking along the creeks and rivers
for him but could not find him, nor
hear him piping anywhere, but they
heard the owls hooting such a
doleful boot, "Whoo WHO'D! Pan!
Pan! Dead! Dead" But they did
not believe 1t, and the next night they
looked again, but they saw nothing
and heard nothing but the owls boot
ing the same mournful story of the
death of Pan, and at last, the third
night, they thought it must be true,
and they told every one they saw that
Pan was dead.
And where do you think Pan hid?
"Behlnd the corn-crib?" No. "In
the plum-thicket?" No. "In the
tall weeds in the fence-c orner?" No;
you would never guess it, and so I'll
tell you.
He made himself so small that you
could hardly have seen him, and then
he crept into the eye of sleeping
violet, and lay still, and held her eye
lids shut so long that the sun was up
and shining when she woke up, and
rubbed her eyes and stretched, and
said, "Ho hum!" and looked out.
"Dear me- she said, chow sound /

long time; how big everything looks;
and my eye-winkers and whiskers
have grown so long, l believe | shall

the sheep came past and said to each
other, "What large bright-eyed
violet that is" And the rabbits no.
ticed her and said, "See what a big
violet; her eyes are almost as large
as ours" And in the evening the
naughty fairies came that way and saw
her, and SAID, "Why, how well you
look, and how you are growing; but
perhaps you haven't heard something;
perhaps you don't know that Pan is
dead?" And the violet squinted up
her eyes as though she were going to
cry, and the fairies laughed and went
ON.
But the violet didn't really cry at
all, because she didn't know much
about Pan, and what the other fairies
thought were the violet's eyes crying,
were really Pans eyes winking to
think they we're so silly.
One day beautiful lady came
through the wood, and seeing the
lovely violet, stopped to pick it, but
it looked SO gentle and sad, she felt
sorry to break the stem and see it
