The young man turned and went
away to his home outside the forest;
he had come to hunt but he hunted
no more that day.
He came many times to the forest
to see Ttania, but she, on catching
sight OF him would run away and hide.
! One day when the summer sun was
rising above the treetops, Titania sat
on fern covered dias under large
oak tree. Leaning against her was in
quisitive Iliaria and at her feet sat
others looking up into her face, laugh.
ing at her bushes and replies to liar
las questions.
But, my queen, do you not love the
young man." asked lliaria.
NO, indeed! exclaimed Titania, even
after the manner of mortal maidens,
but as she spoke the rose color spread
over her face seeming to belle her
words.
Some of the maidens then took their
harps and played upon them while
others sang. Then springing up and
joining hands all danced before their
queen.
Their feet twinkling in and out of
the grass were like stars, while with
their green robes floating about their
lithsome bodies swaying to and fro in
| tune to the song, they themselves
seemed like tall, white lilies swaying
in the breeze.
/ Then suddenly loosing hands they
went flying across the grass in a game
of hide-and-seek, then breaking away
they would chase each other across
the grass in a lively game of tag, and
eluding their pursuers they would fling
themselves, rosy, GREATNESS and laugh

| their queen.
But while these happy children were
playing and thinking of no harm for
themselves, danger was near The
Imps of the Prince of Darkness were
abroad that day. They had been sent
out to find a beautiful maiden to be
the wife of their black prince. In an
evil hour they penetrated the depths
of the forest. While the maidens were
yet resting from their play the imps
appeared grinning fiendishly to see
such goodly array of maidens; for
now they, too, might have beautiful
wives and that wondrous one upon
the green throne would rule over the
dark and foreboding household of
their master.
They stood a few minutes enjoying
in their hellish delight the horror and
terror of Titania and her maidens, then
advancing. each lieutenant of dark
ness seized a maiden, while they, SO
stricken were they, made no resist
ance.
Was Titania now lost to Tisander ?
Not so, for as the imps were bearing
away their precious burdens, Tisander,
who had come into the forest that
he might catch a glimpse of the queen
of the wood nymphs, saw them. tbs.

eedge for the rescue of the queen and
her attendants.
The young man was very wroth to
,, see the harm which was being done
therefore, while yet unperceived, he
worked his spell upon the fiendish
imps. They were compelled by some
will not their own to drop the young
maidens and were turned into leafy
stumps.
Titania did not now run away from
the beautiful youth and instead of be
coming the wife of the prince of dark
ness she welded the prince Of men
