fairy should be, and as Belinda lay on her couch she saw in it's blue eyes and faxen hair the features of her fairy of the city streets. She used to talk to him and, though others did not, when she held the doll to her cheek she could hear him, and many a delightful con Efersation they had. Some people would nave been lonely and fretful lying on the bed all day, week after week, but Belinda was not, because the fairies were were with her. Some people don't be- neVe in fairies. Perhaps they never needed fairy or they would believe. but Belinda, who had no other friend op, op whom she could pour out all her and she knew.
 Then the fever came. She lay so still, with the hot flush on her cheek, and her little body pulsating with pain. But through 1t all she kept the doll in her arm, nestled to her breast, and she was not alone. for with her in her passages Of pain went the Fairy of the Noisy Street and her china baby whom she loved. Others said she was delirious visions of bubbling springs and run nlng brooks, and like one of old, she
 babbled of green fields" When the fever subsided and she lay white and weak. gazing and wondering at the wall and making pictures Of the dents and shadows there, in her dolls eyes she saw again the Land of Delight, the Fairyland which the young explore.
 It was storming one night The sleet rattled against the window; the rum bling cars squesked at the corners; the wind rose and fell like the breath of a tempestuous life; the lights fiickered and fiared. and glitter and splash were the characteristics of the hour. Every thing sounded so loud in the little room where Belinda lay, where mother and father and a neighbor sat, weary and weeping. The doctor came. but he left no medicine. Tt will not be long" he said.
 That night 1t came. The little form was left. wasted and white, on the bed, the doll clasped in the thin fingers close to the pallid cheek. There was weeping, but everyone was so weary. They did not see the Fairy of the Filthy Streets. Perhaps he was gone. Perhaps Belinda had gone with him. Perhaps the magic of the Little People had made her strong and well, and she was really leaping and laughing under the great trees by the flowing rills. Who can say that it was not so?

Fairies live mostly in the country. Everybody who is at all acquainted with the fairy folk know this. You can see the fairy rings in the meadow where they dance; on old logs and by the stump side are stools where the fairies like to sit; under every oak tree there are cups in plenty, which knowing peQ- pie aver are worn by the wee people as helmets. and hidden away in se- cluded hooks there are tiny yellow slip pers hung on slender stems, which the the wild. Besides, Jack has his pulpit there. and everyone knows that at nlSht thn little men and women like 10 nestle in the lily bells and sleep. Oh, yes, the fairies live in the country, and some times they have great difficulty Tn Keep ing from being trampled upon by the big, sweet-breathed COWS.
 But this Is the story of fairy who lived in the city Not many fairies like street they are liable to be trampied upon or run over, and il they hide in the houses 1t seems so close they nearly suffocate; and sometimes, when in ter TOT they hide in the basements, great rats peer at them and frighten them badly But there was one fairy who lived in the city. There can be no doubt about it, for Berlinda saw him many times.
 Belinda was little crippled girl. who very seldom got beyond the basement room in which she lived. She had sev- eral good friends who helped to enter tain her One was Tommy the cat, who would sit looking at her so quzzically that Belinda would be forced tc laugh Another was a sparrow, who every day hoped on the window ledge ta pick up

the crumbs Belinda would toss him, and who was so tame that she could put her hands on the tiny fellow-almost. The third was a little newsboy who waved his hand every time he passed her and every day brought an apple or some thing he knew she liked and laid it on her windowsill. If she was not looking he would tap on the window pane and then rush away. crying Globe and Re- public. papers; all about the big wreck" as he waved his hand back at her.
 It was while watching the newsboy one day, that Belinda first saw the fairy The chlld had just boarded a passing car and was being whisked away. when a sudden shower came up and the drops of rain were splashed on the pavement outside. As they fell they broke and looked for the world like little men leap ing up from the puddle and then diving back again. In one of them Belinda saw the fairy. At first she thought she might be mistaken but the longer she looked the plainer she saw him-leaping up and down in the pool. Belinda pressed her face to the pane till her nose was flat and felt sorry for him, until she saw from the expression on his face that he was playing and really enjoyed the rain. As she looked he actually

winl1ed at her. Belinda laughed and clapped her hands, 1t was so funny. The little fellow danced. bobbing up and down in the puddle. It was so like the country rain and he was so much a child that he really enjoyed himself im-
 Don't you wish you could come Be- lnda?" he shouted.
 "Oh, goodness, no! it's so wet" said Belinda.
 Don't you wish you could dance like
 No, it isn't proper for a little girl. but l like to watch you" said Belinda.
 Then watch me-" shouted the little man. T tell you, 1t is great fun"
 But just then the rain ceased and the bubbles stopped hopping about in the gutter, and when Belinda, whose atten- ton had been turned away for a mo- ment. looked again the fairy was gone.
 The second time Belinda saw the fairy was the day that the newsboy had placed a big rose on her window sill. In the very heart of the flower she saw the merry face of the little sprite, no bigger than your thumb, and he bowed to her in the most comical way as he said:
 Well. Miss Belinda. what can do for you?'
 Belinda laughed.
 T don't want much of anything" said the little crippled girl, who had ab- sorbed that great lesson of Paul's, who state I am herewith to be content" Only she said, as she picked up the flower and put 1t to her lips:
 Tt would be nice if 1 had a great yard full Of flowers and a little wood with trees and a real brook in it, like
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-11-30

that see in my picture book"
 The little fairy was crouching in fear among the petals of the rose. his eyes wide open with fright.
 Please, please, don't eat me-" he said. You see when Belinda put the rose to her lips he thought she was about to eat him. It was quite natural he should think so. But Belinda, of course. had no such intention, and she said:
 You poor dear old fairy you, I wouldn't eat you for all the world; but l do love, you so well that I could just hug and kiss you
 What would you like to have better than all things in the world?" asked the fairy. reassured and kindly of na- ture.
 "Oh. good strong feet so could walk and run, and go to the great woods where the birds and the flowers are. Can fairies. give little girl anything she wants?"
 'Yes. if you know how to get it. Now, shut your eyes, Belinda, and think and you will have what you want
 Belinda shut her eyes, and 1t seemed to her that she saw herself dressed so nicely. walking along the beach and un- der the great trees where the flowers

were. She was so happy she ran and skipped in her fancy. But she didn't pluck the flowers, for she felt 1t would De wrong to take them from their homes and cause them to die. She kept her eyes closed for so long that she fell asleep, and had such a delightful dream of mountain brooks and lakes and wild birds. When she awakened she no longer saw the fairy, but she thought great deal about him and felt he had granted her wish.
 After this she saw the fairy of the city streets quite frequently. Sometimes he would be dancing in the shadows under the lights at the corners. Again, he might be seen in the wind-blown hair of the schoolchildren as they passed by and waved their hands mer- rily to her. Sometimes he was among her playthings and would help her roll the colored marble, putting his tiny shoulders to 1t and heaving manfully. Over and again his voice could be heard above the grind of the car and cab and the cry of the newsboy, and 1t sounded like a silver bell or the splash of rip bling water. Oh, it is so sweet to dwell in fairyland where the green men and women are all about you It made Be- linda forget that she had troubles and she was happy every day.
 Yet in spite of this she was growing weaker and weaker. As winter drew her weak and sometimes hurt her. But the bed on which she was compelled to lie, under the fairy magic of her thoughts, widened into the green fields and her loneliness was peopled with the invislbles. The newsboy heard of her illness and brought her a nicely dressed china doll. It was just as high as
