fairies hoped gayly upon them.
o., what time they made when they
saw the golden ship of the violet queen
coming toward them.
The old owl flew fast to the gates OF
Fairy Land In fear they would be closed.
The next thing was to get back before
the violet king would be seen in the east
in his pretty silver ship on their pretty
blue lake.
Then the old owl lowered his flight and
the little fairies soon came to the borde rs
OF our glorious State.
"Oh, what a strange land this is! they
all cried out together.
''Let US form our trademarks" said the
wise little fairy in the gold specs.
"Oh, yes!' cried the others. and one OF
the little fairies took from the little bag he
had carried with him some beautiful
paintings which he adgathered with the
aid OF the violet queens searchIight,
which was shining across the beautiful
fairyland.
Then he tore from his little jacket 8
piece OF fairy silk and painted part of il
the beautiful color of an orange an the
rest OF a rare green.
"Oh, let me do the rest" said the am biz
tious little fellow with the gold specs.
mo, You shan't," returned the red
eyed little fairy, and then he went on
with his work.
He then took pair OF scisso rs and
formed his little trademark, which wa S
the beautiful shape of the poppy.

they had found, scattering seeds where

Then the old owl went his upward way

because they had formed the beautiful

once upon time, in a newly settled
" district of our own golden State,
lived little girl, whom We shall call
Goldie.
Her father was a miner, and had come
to California in search of the golden
wealth which was tabled to be found in
the valleys of the mighty Sierras.
Goldie often accompanied her father to
his claim, from which she often wandered
far into the forest.
Her father and mother we're never wor-
ried about her, for they knew there was
not q creature In the forest that would
harm her.
Doubtless she had many adventures,
and one of these am going to relate.
Once when she had wandered far into
the forest she chanced to find the rem
nants of fairy feast.
| The tables were of mushrooms, the
dishes were leaves, .himmering with dew
| drops, which resem bled honey. This was
nectar. The am brosia was sugar, with
| few petals OF a tiny flower which i'm
| parted fine flavor to it. There were also
| many other dishes. Goldie thought per-
| haps the fairies would return again to
their feast, so she patiently waited until
nigh.
When night came group of fair les
appeared, dressed most splendidly, and
| with them came a lovely fairy, who wa
| their Queen.
| Many fireflies had formed themselves
into the words The Fairy Queen OF the
Golden State" about her head, and when
ever she moved they moved also, so she
was continually surrounded by circle of
| light.
| When she perceived Goldie she called
to one of her attendants to bring forth the
! m ortal, that she Uhe Queen) might view
| her to her hearts content.
| GoIdie came forth very modestly into
the royal presence. and the Queen ed
dressed her thus:
''Thou must know, o mortal, that not
every miners daughter seeth the Queen
OF the Golden State; and as no eye may
see the feast of the fairies. L command my
attendant to tell thee story, which will

THE SEARCH
FOR CALIFORNIA
BY VERA CHISHOLM.

IL WAS just after sunset, when the fairies
l were preparing for midnight search,
with their golden torches, their pue
nightcaps and their sparkling red eyes,
all sitting in a row over the shining
fairy lake on cluster of lotus flowers.
But worst of all they had to wait for the
broad-winged owl to carry them across the
sea.
''Where shall we go ?" suggested one lit
tie red-eyed fairy, sitting in the middle of
the large lotus leaf.
ITO land called Alaska" replied the
other.
ooh, no, said the third little fairy. "I
have heard it said there are banks OF
melted wax there that are SO cold we'd all
freeze"
Then let US GO to Europe" said an
other.
"Oh, no; we are going to a great land
called California"
20 dear, dear. we don't know where it
is, and soon the violet queen will be seen
in the east sailing west across our pretty
lake in her golden ship, and We can't go

Many, many years ago the moonbeams

One night they

which brought them

"This is surely the

said one. And just
then the thunderous

and they jumped on

into the night.
