and have him talk our language and be alive," she said. Every once in awhile a growing was heard which frightened her very much. A little door near by attracted her attention, so she opened it and found that it led to the woods. She went out and as the evening was drawing near she lay down on tha grass. When it became quite dark she felt something soft beside her. She looked around and there was bunnie looking up into her face.
 "Oh, Bunnie, my precious pet, are you really here?" she cried. hugging him close.
 'Yes, and you see I can speak your language, dear mistress
 Florence could not say any more, but kissed him again and again. Let us now start for home, Bunnie," she said.
 All right, we'll just go into the Wish ing House and wish ourselves home, and I will tell you all that happened to me-" replied Bunnie.
 .Oh, All right, we will go, dear Bun- nie," she answered.
 ''Florencei FIorence!' voice called and the next moment she found herself lying on the grass in the meadow, witt Bunnie by her side and her mother bending over her. She looked at Bun nie but he did not move, only stared up at her with his glass eyes.
 Why, mamma, 1 dreamed that Bun nie got lost and l found him and h' could talk our language and move.'

''Why. you must be a fairy" said
 Yes" answered the little lady, T am the Water Fairy Queen. 1 live at the bottom of the ocean. Wouldn't you like to see my palace and the other fairies?"
 Ruth said, "Oh, yes. I would like to see it very much"
 Well come along" said the fairy. and she led the way to the door and they both started off in the direction of the beach. When they reached it the fairy turned around and said to Ruth, Follow me-. She stepped into the water and began to go down, Ruth fol- lowing. When they reached the bottom she suddenly became as small as the fairy. The fairy told her that it was natural for all people who went down there to get small and that they grew large again when they reached the top.
 Ruth now found herself in beautiful little city, with lovely buildings all made of pearl At the end of one of the streets she saw a large building more beautiful than any of the others. It was all ornamented with gold, and 1t had nigh stepsof pearl There were also some fairy men, who seemed to be guarding it.
 What is that beautiful building?" said Ruth.
 That is my palace said the fairy. "I will take you to see it after we have seen other parts of the city" So they walked on down the street, and Ruth saw many other fairies
 In all the streets, suspended from spider webs, were lamps which looked like soap bubbles with lights in them. Ruth thought it was the most wonder ful place she had ever been in, and she told the fairy so.
 "Yes," said the fairy, "all of our cities are beautiful. 1 will show you some more some day"
 They were now on a street that had tall houses on both sides. The fairies were playing gayly everywhere without a thought of a care. Ruth and the fairy walked down that street and turned into another. They walked to the end of it and stopped in front of the palace.
 Now we will go in,' said the fairy.
 Ruth followed her up the stairs, and they entered a large hall all lit up the same as the streets, except that the bubbles were fastened together and

talk to her. But I want him to talk the way we do, for 1 cannot understand his squealing," she would say to her mother.
 One day Florence took her bunnie and went out into the meadow to play and pick flowers. She soon grew sleepy and lying down amidst the flowers she fell asleep with Bunnie in her arms. When she awoke 1t was evening and she started to go home. But where was Bunnie? He was gone. She searched all round for him and then throwing herself down she began to cry as if her heart would break. T will go and find him." she said, and getting up she started down the meadow away from home.
 Pretty soon Florence came to forest and although it was dark she entered it and bravely trudged on. She kept on steadily going till at last her little legs gave out and she dropped to the ground so tired she could scarcely move. But thinking of her dear little Bunnie and crying for his loss she sobbed herself to sleep. The next day she was aroused by the singing of the birds and the rustling of the leaves

 Liza took hold of her arm. "Oh, mother do say I may. Don't you think father would like it?"

 On they went to the other end or the hall, and the fairy opened door wnlcn let them into a large room, which the fairy told Ruth was the throne room. Ruth followed her in and saw golden throne all decorated with seaweed and lighted up brilliantly. Six fairy ladies were seated around it.
 'These are my daughters, and now we will go and see my soldiers" said the queen.
 She opened another door which led into a garden, where there were fruits
