Two young girls were talking over
their experiences as young girls do, and
one narrated little familiarity which
she had permitted the lad to take with
her. 1t was, perhaps, what some would
think only trifle, but it took little of
the delicate bloom from the modest re-
serve which a young girl should main
tain, and her companion felt this.
"Fan," said she, earnestly, didn't you

The little sisters lips were CULVER
ing, and the Princess squeezed her
hand affectionately. "Never mind"
she whispered; 'It will all come right,
Pm sure"
When the light had quite faded
they went in. Franz had stopped
playing, and was busy carving lit
tie wooden box.
The Princess watched him for sew
eral minutes without speaking; then
she said
"Franz, can you tell me how to find
Happiness7"
Franz smiled. II think if you do
your duty" he said, you'll be hap
py."
The Princess was silent, thinking
many things. And as she lay in her
little white bed that night she pom.
dered long over her search for Hap
piness till she fell fast asleep with
smile on her lips.
The next day the old woman came
and took the Princess back to her
father and mother. They were amazed
and delighted at the change in their
daughter. The old air of melan-
choly had vanished, and she again
sang and made merry as of old.
There was great rejoicing in the
palace, and grand fete was given
to celebrate her return.
The Queen embraced the fairy god
mother with tears in her eyes, and
begged to know what she could do
to show her gratitude.
"My DEAR" said the godmother,
"your joy is my reward. The simple
life of the forester's family has taught
our Blossom lesson. See that she
doesn't forget it," So she left them,
promising to come again.
And there was also rejoicing in the
cottage in the forest, for the Princess
had left for Franz letter in which
she asked him to come to the city to
study music, as he had intended, he
and Margot. Nothing would give
her SO much happiness, and did they
remember it was that she had come
to seek? Some day they could repay
her.
They we're astonished, too, for they
had not known she was a Princess.
Franz had said no at first, but his
objections were overruled and he
went, he and the little sister who
watched over him with such tender
care.
Years went by and Franz's fame
spread far and wide. The tall, hand
some lad played in many lands-and
the Princesss
Gall / am l owe to you," he said to
her, looking in her grave, sweet eyes.
GLOW can l ever repay you?"
"Ah," she said, smiling on him
through her tears, "there was once a
girl who thought only of herself and
her own pleasure, and who found the
great secret of Happiness in little
cottage in the wood. 1t was you who
showed me my unworthiness by your
uuselfishness and devotion to 9TH
ers."
And in the silence of the cool, green
forest where they had first met, they
plighted their troth, the musician
and the Princess; in those good old
days it was not necessary for Prin-
cess to marry one of royal blood.
So they were married and lived to
a good old age, and the Princess
never lost the secret of true Happi-
ness.-Edith Eugefaio South IN In

made merry. This pleased the King
and Queen, who idolized her and
loved to see her gay. But there came
a time when shadow appeared in
the young girls eyes.
81 am tired of all this" she said
one day. 81 am not happy. | want
Happiness"
Then was every one sorrowful, and
all the courtiers and ladies-in waiting
set their wits to work to seek Happi-
ness for their Princess. But she only
grew paler and more wistful in the
midst of all the revelries. She lost
her appetite, took no interest in her
birds or flowers; even the lovely
clothes provided for her gave her no
pleasure.
Her parents were in despair, when,
one summers day, there appeared at
the palace gates little old woman
who asked to see the Queen. She
was dressed so queerly that at first
the gatekeeper hesitated; but look
from her sharp gray eyes decided
him, and he let her in.
The Queen consented to see her
and, when she was shown into the
spacious boudoir, recognized her at
once. She was the Princess's fairy
godmother, Finella; so the Queen
welcomed her gladly, and had re-
freshments brought for her.
The old woman ate and drank, and
talked about the weather till the last
crumb of cake and the last drop of
wine had disappeared, then she said,
quite sharply: 81 hear that Blossom
is moping. What's the matter9"
EYES," replied the Queen, sadly:
"she is very unhappy. She wants
Happiness"
"Nonsensep said Fiuella; "she
wants sense. Let me see her; but
don't tell her who l am"
So servants were dispatched for
tie Princess, and she soon came,
looking very lovely in her soft, cling
ing robes of sea green. She courte-
sled very prettily when the Queen
presented her, and sat down by her
mother, thinking what strange visi-
tor this was.
"Well," said the old woman, 81
hear you want Happiness"
"Oh, l dol" cried the Princess,
eagerly. Can you get it for met"
"Humph l don't know. may"
"She is not very polite" thought
the Princess; but she said nothing.
"Ah, child, you little know for what
you are asking" the old woman con
tinued. "But We'll see-well seel
