the vast forest. No, cry of bird
or beast broke it's stiffness. Vel
vet blackness filled the wood aisles, en-
folded the huge boles of trees and
brooded in their heavy tops.
| woodman's cot huddled close to the
forest in a small clearing. In a rude
pallet, both sturdy lads, the sons of the
woodchopper. The younger was fair
haired and rosy checked, the older
swarthy and less comely than his
brother.
AS they slept dream came to each
of the brothers. The younger son
! dreamed that a NIKE, bearing in his
hand a red seed, was travelling through
the silent forest to the cot The older
dreamed that a pixie, carrying black
seed, also journeyed through the dark
ness. In the dream of the fair haired
son the NIKE came at last to the very
loft, and entering dropped the red seed
into his hand, which lay open on the
coverlet The dark haired son also
dreamed that the pixie, finding his
hands clenched, dropped the black seed
into his ear.
At the first peek of morning they
awoke.
Last night I had funny dream,
brother Friedrich" said the younger
lad. 81 thought-why, what is this in
my hand?" For in the palm lay large
red seed.
His brother .yawned sleepily. 81
dreamed last night that-why, what is
this in my ear?" he exclaimed, for in
his ear he found large black seed.
Both lads wondered at this greatly
open spot in the clearing and tend them
carefully.
Now Friedrich was an idle, careless
fellow, and after drenching his little
day or two, he began to neglect it. 1t
would, indeed, have withered away If
Carl, who was always diligent, had not
taken pity on it. He cared for both
plants, making the earth soft about
their roots, pruning and protecting
them from harmful insects.
Friedrich laughed at him.
Spare thy pains, Carl, my brother"
he was wont to say. "They are but
weeds. That lout of a Hans hath
played a trick on us as we slept"
But Carl replied always, II will wait
and see."
So the summer wore away. The lads
were all day in the forest helping their
father fell the trees, looping off the
smaller limbs and binding and carrying
great bundles of fagots. Carl always
did the greater part of the work, for
skipping stones. chasing hares or sleep
ing under the trees. One evening after
they had returned home from work
Carl cried excitedly to his brother,
Look, Friedrich. the plants have
buddedl" Sure enough, there were two
long green Tapped buds.
"Hal" cried Friedrich. "mine is the
larger bud. 'Tis good thing did mol
let thee throw them away for weeds
brother Carl"
Next morning the brothers hastencd
TO the clearing. The smaller bud hac
opened. To their surprise 1t contained
golden key, but beautifully wrought
and shining.
"Ha, hal" laughed Friedrich. II shall
have a larger key than you, Look how
