and started for the mountain. Her
mother stood by the door and gazed aft
er her till sho was lost to sight.
The ground was covered with snow;
not a human footstep was to De seen,
but after wandering here, now there,
Helen saw the flame of the fire, far
above her, and began climbing. After a
short time she reached the peak of the
mountain and saw the fire, round which
the IL months were sitting. AT first sho
hesitated and was frightened, but soon
recovering herself she went boldly to
the fire, and stretching out her hands
warmed herself without asking permits
sion Or even noticing the II months.
"What brings you here and what seek
your" asked old January stornly.
"You have no right to question me,
old graybeard! Why do you wish to
know what l SEEK" answered Helen
haughtily. and turning her head and
forest.
Old January frowned and waved his
wand over his head.
In the twinkling of an eye the sky
was filled with heavy clouds, the fire
burned low and large snowfakes began
to fall, while an icy wind howled through
the mountain. In the midst of this
dreadful storm Helen began to curse
her sister and call On the good God, as
she knew the cloak could not keep her
body from %stiffening and freezing.
Her mother waited impatiently for
her daughter. Every little while she
went to the window, then to the door,
to look for her, but the hours passed and
she did not return. "Have the apples
bewitched her so that she cannot find
her way homer" thought her mother.
81 must go and seek her"
Hastily wrapping herself in a cloak
and hood she set out. The falling snow
had obliterated her daughters footsteps,

to the mountain and gather me straw
berries, They must be very sweet and
ripe"
"My God, whoever heard that straw
berries ripened under the snow! - cried
the orphan.
"Not a word. If you do not bring me
the strawberries soon, we will kill you.
Remember, you are warned"
After this threat her stepmother seized
her violently and thrust her out in the
courtyard, barring the door.
The wretched orphan, her eyes filled
with tears, began to climb the mountain.
She already knew the way, and without
hesitation climbed up the peak, where
the IL months sat round the fire, old
January, as before, on the highest seat.
"Men of God" she said, "let me
warm myself by your frel [ am trem-
Ling with cold"
Old January lifted his head and ask
ed:
"Why have you come here and what
do you seek?"
"Ihave come to gather strawberries, "
said Mary.
"It is now midwinter and strawber-
ries do not grow under the snow" an
swered January.
81 know it," said Mary sadly. "But
my ~stepmother and sister have ordered
me to bring them ripe Strawberries. Tell
me where | can gather them"
Old January rose slowly from his seat,
approached the month that sat opposite
him, and giving him his wand said,
"Brother June, seat yourself on the
highest stone"
The month Of June went and seated
himself OIL the stone that marked the
highest place. He waved his wand over
the fire and the flames rose to the sky.
In a moment the snow was melted, the
ground covered with grass, while the
birds sang and the earth bloomed with
flowers in the forest.
Under the brushwood one saw innu-
merable little white flowers, thick as
though one had sowed them, and as one
looked the flowers changed toripe fruit,
and all this in a few moments of time,
so that Mary could hardly cross herself
before the ground was red with straw.
berries, like a sea of blood.
"Quick, quick, Mary, pick them p
said the month of June.
Filled with joy, she began to gather
them, and soon had a nice amount in
her apron, when, thanking the months,
she started joyfully homeward.
Helen and her mother were surprised
to see her come home with the straw
berries.
"But where did you find them?" ask
ed Helen sourly.

liant light, and climbing ever onward
till she had reached one of the highest
peaks she came to a bright open fire,
round which were IL large stones. On
these stones were seated IL men. Four
of them were old, with white hair; four
less old, and four were young men and
very handsome. They were all gazing
into the fire.
These men were the 10 months of the
year, and great January, who was seat
ed higher than the rest, had a long,
white beard and snowy hair. In his
hand he held a wand.
Mary at first was paralyzed with fear,
but after a few moments Of stupor and
silence she regained her courage, and
approaching them said "Men of God,
allow me to warm myself by your fire.
l am trembling with cold"
Old January raised his head and said:
"Why are you here, my maiden? What
do you seek?"
81 am seeking violets," answered
Mary.
cit is not the season of violets," said
January. "Do you not see snow lying
everywhere?"
81 know it is not, but my stepmother
and sister have sent me to the mountain
to gather them, and if I cannot find any
they will kill me. l entreat you, fa-
theirs, tell me where 1 can find some?"
Slowly old January rose from his seat
and approached one of the younger men.
Putting his wand i'll his hand he said,
Brother March, seat yourself in my
place"
March went and seated himself on the
high stone and waved the wand over the
fire. At once the flames rose to the sky,
the snow melted, the trees began to bud,
while beneath them the grass grew green
and the ground was covered with prim-
roses and cowslips. 1t was spring and
the ground was quite blue with violets
that grew under the brushwood.
"Haste and pluck them, Mary" cried
March. "Quickr'
The beautiful orphan, filled with joy,
FASTENED to pluck the flowers and soon
had a large bunch. Thanking the months
politely, she ran home, happy Il gay.
Great was the establishment of her
stepmother and Helen when they saw
the bunch of fresh violets.
They quickly opened the door and
soon the house was filled with the per
fume of the flowers.
"Well! And where did you find
them?" asked Helen.

and not a human trace was to be seen,
while no voice answered to her loud
call. Long she wandered at hazard i'll
the snow, while it fell in %avalanches and
an icy wind blew from the mountain.
Mary in the meanwhile had cooked
the dinner and MIXED the COW, but
neither Helen nor her mother was to be
found.
Her daily work was now ended, the
day had gone and night was coming on.
What can have happened?
ooh, my Cody said the excellent
girl, and opeLod the window to look out.
The storm had ceased, the sky was
brilliant with stars, while the snow
glimmered like diamonds by their light
hot a trace of a human being was to
be seen. Mary sadly shut the window.
She made the sign of the cross and pray
ed for her sister and stepmother, In vain
she waited for them at breakfast and
dinner. They never came.
Both Helen and her mother were
frozen in the mountain, and Mary in
herited the little cottage, the COW, and
a small field. 1t was not long before she
married an honest farmer, and they both
lived in peace and happiness ever after.
