many seeds in his time, but nothing
like this one. Not far away lived an
old man named Shin Shin, and the
Peasant took the seed to him and ask
ed him what it was. The old man
looked at it for a long time, and then
shook his head and replied:
1T is such a seed as | never saw be-
fore. l think it was brought from be-
yond the sea. If l were you I would
plant 1t in my garden and see what
will come of it,
The Peasant did so. 1t was in spring.
and the warm showers and hot sun
soon caused the seed to sprout 1t
took the shape of a cabbage and the
color was a beautiful pink. 1t grew
very fast and very large and in a few
weeks was almost as big as a keg The
old man came over to look at it, and
when he had walked around it three or
four times he said to the Peasant:
Surely, but this is a wonderful
thing. There is nothing like it in this
country, and you should send word to
the King to come and view it,
The Peasant did so. and when the
King had seen the vegetable he held
up his hands and exclaimed:
TITS a wonderful sight indeed, and

move out into the vast. silent, lifeless

move out into the vast, silent, lifeless
desert.
Slowly it winds out of camp with
tall, handsome Somali warriors on fast
horses curvetting and prancing and
dashing up and down the line, their
weapons all ready for any fighting that
may be. There are camel drivers in
bright robes, some in turbans and some
in red fezzes. Here and there half
yelled women in gaudy loose drasses
sit huddled on the necks or the humps
of the rolling, staggering, plunging
camels. Slowly they pass into the
moonlight, going on and on, straight
westward until the last camel is but
a speck on the stretching sands.
Before those cotton goods from
America arrive at the market places
in Abyssinia, where women in flowing
costumes and hung with long strings
of beads and metal ornaments will
barter for them with the Ethiopian
merchants, they may be fought over
dozen times. Those prosaic cases
made by a matter-of-fact American
cooper, may be used for barricades
when the desert robbers swoop down
on the caravan. Men will fire from
their shelter and perhaps be killed be-
hlnd them. Some of them may be car
ried off and finally after months of
SLOW progress by barter and exchange,
their contents may deck the savage
bellies of unknown villages in the heart
or the African forest. Some night
lion may go charging headlong over
tnem. Just suppose that one of the
Fail River mill girls, working YEARLY
over the loom, could suddenly see
vision of the weird scenes through
which the piece of cloth that she Is
nnlsh1ng will have to go!
If the caravan fortunately escapes
all these dangers, it will at last reach
the towns in the heart of Abyssinia.
The cases are opened and the rolls of
striped and colored cottons are spread
out. Then begins keen businesses

THE STORY OF
FAN-FAN, THE FAIRY.

BEING the Curious Tale of the still
More CuriOns Seed and What Grew
From 1t.
1t was good many years ago and in
a far-off country that a peasant who
was laboring in his fields one day sat
down to rest his aching back. He was
a poor, Woodworking man. He had
toiled for years, but had always met
bad luck. His wife and COW and goat
had died, his fields had bene flooded
many times. and there were seasons
when he could not raise enough to eat.
He thought of these things as he rest
ed, and by and by he said to himself:
There is no luck for me, and 1
might as well be dead Why should |
work day longer when it will do me
no good?''
At that moment a curious looking
bird alighted on the fence near him.
1t was bird about the size of a robin,
but OF kind that the peasant never
mad seen before. He noticed that the
bird had a seed in its mouth, and pref
~ soon 1t dropped it on the stump and
new away with a chiTp. The Peasant
arose and examined the seed, but he
could make nothing of it He had seen
