the dream gods the only ones stirring. All
through the palace could be heard quiet
sounds and hushed voices, as a small army
OF servants busted themselves making ready
for the weddings and receptions that were
to take place on the morrow. For the Princes
wished to be married as soon as they could,
that they might start at once with their
brides for their fathers kingdom.
And certainly some very fine weddings did
take place the next morning In the pretty
church opposite the Countess palace, where
the great receptions were held afterward.
First came Fantico and Viscountess Olga,
then Prince Flitwiek and Viscountess Frlda,
then Prince Saladee and Viscountess Elma,
and last Of all, Studimuch and the Countess.
But almost forgot Goodheart, who, finding
that his new and royal masters were about
to marry, hed himself to the kitchen, where
pretty Griddetta, the cook, was making
dozens Of sweet cakes for the wedding break
fast. He introduced himself and told her
his history and of all the many good things
he wished to do in future, and asked her II
she would marry him. Griddletta thought
for a moment, and then answered that she
didn't care II she did, as it was Thursday
and her evening outing, anyway. SO into
church they went, and after the Princes and
the schoolmaster and their brides had left
the altar, why up they popped and were
married, just like royal folk

with relish, for all were hungry after the
adventures of the night. After this they
were taken to another beautiful room filled
with coy couches, on which they enjoyed
short nap before presenting themselves to
the Countess aud her daughters, the Wis
countesses Olga, Frida and Elma who re-
eelYed them in third beautiful room, and
were very kind In their welcome.
Gracious! how the Princes did stare at the
three lovely, golden haired maidens. who
permitted them TO sit at their side, while
studimuch told of all the strange happen
lngs IN their short journey and also told of
tue long years spent In the toWerl And how
sorry were the three viscountesses for the
three princes, and how indignant that such
hne, manly young fellows should have been
smut up in prison like thieves. In return
they told the Princes the stories of their
own pleasant lives, which did not take very
long, nor had they had any strange adyen-
lures, like the royal brothers. but the
Princes listened eagerly and were charmed
FOR several hours they talked together and
felt In the end as If they had known one
another for many years, so winning are
bright and pure natures that every one must
feel contented and rejoiced in their pres
ence. Indeed, the brothers felt that they
should never be happy unless they spent the
rest of their lives near the three lovely sis
tiers.
I'VE thought the Witch's daughters were
the most beautiful maidens in the world
while the magical powder was in our eyes,
said the artless Prince Fantico to Viscount-
ess Olga, near whom he sat, but, surely,
you and your sisters are the loeeliest maid

At this praise the three viscountesses
FLUSHED prettily and were greatly pleased.
Then the sehoolmaster, not to be outdone
by Prince Fantico, said something very like

hOW ScarecrOw Changed His Name.
BY FRANK H. SWEET

Scareerow was hired boy on Sllas Tefft's
mix farm. OF course, Scarecrow was not
MS name, but when he applied to old Silas
Tor work, and said that his name was John,
ana nothing else, he was told that he must
nave double name. There were half n
dozen Johns on the place already So when
one OF the men suggested Scarecrow, In
oerislon OF his haggard and grotesque ap-
pearance, 1t was adopted with reclamation,
and the boys indigant protests were re-
eeived with loud outlaws of laughter. That
was two years ago. No one knew where
he came from. He was very reticent about
his antecedents, but by putting one thing
and another together they had strong sus-
picion that he had run away from some town
poor farm. The words 'oYerseer," "pauper"
and 'seectmen" always filled him with
terror, and caused him to look around ap-
prehensively, as though he was fearful of
being pursued
Silas Tents farm was hard place, so the
men declared-long hours, hard work and
poor pay But Scarecrow seemed to think it
very Eden of comfort and luxury. He was
up with the earliest of the hired men and
always intensely anxious to make himself
useful. Hardships and discomforts and
sights were accepted as a mater of course,
but when he was spoken to kindly or IA
vored In any way his wondering pleasure
and gratitude knew no bounds.
And however exacting Silas Tefft might be
In the matter of hours and wages. his table
was always generous. AT first the boy ate
