Then Percy led the Princess through the woods
to her home, laughing and chatting merriy all the
way that Tor the first time in her life she forgot
all about her face and when he left her it with
the advice to seek at once for some unfortunate.
The next morning she went for the first time
into the city and the dismal homes Of the poor
and passed by windows where sick children peered
out with wan thin faces at the sky. She to her
garden and loaded herself with flowers and food
and returned to the town. There she hesitated no
longer but went into the first pOvertystricken house
and found a sick child to whom the food and the
sight of the flowers was like bit of heaven. The
gratitude of the parents well the child, went
to Amne's hardened heart and filed 1t with joy
that she sang aloud.
Others, hearing that marvellous voice, crowded
into the hovel and stood there awed listening as to
an angel. Anime that they had forgotten al

drank in the song, and wonderful happiness welled
up In her. She was already 1T peace.

Then the dark rain-soaked forest heard a
strange and awful sound. It was the voice of n
dragon in anger. Animals far away in the remotest
part of the woods shivered with dread as that ter
rble howl rang out and fed to their lairs and even
far beyond the confines of the woods sbraDIr
back and trembled as they listened in awe. Howl
followed howl but each weaker fainter than the
preceding, until at last faint moan told that the
awful treacherous, bloodthirsty voracious and in
satiable monster was dying there among the rocks.
Anime stood watching him in terror, too fright

THE DEATH OF THE DRAGON


Nobody dared to venture into the forest or
mountains except after he had just eaten somebody
when he lay dormant for few days, and here was
poor Princess Anime right at his door He had just
awakened from dream Of eating six babies and
opened his eyes to what the weather was for you
must know that he never went out in the rain, as
water "ould have instantly rusted his joints when
he saw a maiden standing in the opening of his
cavern, right his threshold. Sprnging up in such
gee that he ratified like load of tin cans, he ran
right toward her. with his mouth wide open and his
great teeth shining, but when he saw her face he
stopped.
He began to trembe, and lust then down came
the ram In flood. The dragon could not take his
eyes away from Amine's hideous face and he
wrlthed and wriggled in agony for a few minutes,
then with an awful howl be put down his head shut
his red eyes and dashed past her into the open air
and the deluge of rain. With dreadful SILVER for
the very touch of the cold water deadly to him,
he sprang away, anxious only to escape from
Amlne's face Down the rocky mountainsde, across
swamps and through forests, up hill and down dale
as IT pursued by furies he went, minding no OBJ
stacie, for now the rain-water was driving him al
most frantic with pain, until he suddenly came to
the end of the chain that confined him and he went
head over heels
A sharper, fercer downpour of rain threw him
into commissions, and in his agony he determined
to return to his in spite Of the horrid face
up there; but now it was too late Weakened by the
rain, c-eakng in every joint he tried to crawl back
but soon found that it was impossible

When she first smiled at the sick child a change
had begun. Her great, mis-shapen mouth had
slightly altered that moment, and with each tender
loving SMILE always growing more nd more tender
as her heart velled with sympathy, came gradual
shaping anew until it grew into a mouth ike a
rose, the most perfectly lovely, hssabe pair of lips
IN all the kingdom; and her eyes, so bullying and
crossed softened and changed into violet orbs that
were dazzling well melting Little by little her
face was reformed, becoming so beautiful that the
people gazed at it with alteration, while her hair.
always tied back and away from her sight became
a halo of golden glory
Yet she knew now that all loved her, that the
children to her and embraced her knees from
pLre affection, she imagined that they shut their
eyes to her deformities
At last the King refused to send Ger any more
money for he said that he had already expended
far more than was necessary to support girl in
little palace such hers. He knew, Of course
nothing of her charities and naturally saw no
reason for her spending so much money Then
Anime sod her horses and golden carriages all her
clothes and laces and jewels to procure .he money
needed to buy medicine and food for her poor
At last she suddenly found that she had abso-
lutey nothing left for herself for in her great hap
pness she had never considered her own necessities
Obliged at last to earn money for her own sup
port, she knitted stockings which she sold in the
market-place, and so great yas the crowd that
strove to buy of her and gaze upon her lovely face
