Here is something to help you out Of your

whistle. telling him to blow It three times
and see what would happen.
Fairy Wings out his thanks,
but the fairy had disappeared, and he was
alone with the whistle in his hand.
II guess I'll blow it and see what will
happen" said Fairy Wings.
He put the whistle to his lips and blew
a shrill blast. 1t was so very loud that
he put his fingers in his ears and shut
his eyes. And 10! when he opened them
again he was as graceful and handsome as
any other fairy.
And, now, 1 shall be invited to the
queens ball. said Fairy Wings. And as
he spoke, one of the queens messengers
came UP to where Fairy Wings sat and
handed him an invitation.
Fairy Wings went to the ball and was
introduced to the queen whom he had long
desired to know. She made him one Of
her courtiers and he still keeps the
whistle the good fairy gave him. He has
often wanted to see her and thank her
for her valuable gift, but she disappeared
soon after her kind act.

The Daisy Queen.

By Vera Dickover, Aged IL Years. Atkin-
SON, Neb. Red Side.
Alice Downing and her brother. Alfred,
ran out in the pasture where there was
hardly anything but daisies.
Alice sat down and said. "oh, Alfred,
I am going to make a daisy chain, then a
crown and pretend that 1 am a queen"
My, how nice" he answered with a
sigh, and 1 suppose / Will have to wait
upOn your"
They both set to work braiding daisies
for a chain. All of a sudden Alfred jumped
up and said, Alice don't you think It
will be lots nicer II We share our fun
with little May2 You know she is sick"
BY this time they had the chain made.
They ran across the field to May Browns
house. As they passed the window they
saw a large tear drop roll down her cheek.
They ran up to the door. knocked, and
were soon busy decorating the large chair
In which May sat. Little May was now
very happy. She forgot her pain and
sorrow.
you look just like a fairy which jumped
right out OF the ground" said Alfred.
The children did not notice how late it
was getting, but when they looked out
It was very dark. They ran home and
their mother did not scold because the
children remembered to share their JOY
with one who was not able to get out
doors herself.

Mabers question brought Lena to her
senses. She had not realized before that
she was going on down the street and
really turned into another street from
the one in which she had %overtaken
Mabel, and was some three or four blocks
from home. She had not meant to go fur
Their than the corner. "Oh, 1 guess 1t
won't matter now" she said to herself.
Then aloud to Mabel: where are you
going?-I may go with you" She hated re-
turning to the house to change her dress
and did not want to remain indoors all
afternoon.
I'm going to Grandmamma's." said
label II would like to nave you go with
me. But 1 am not coming back directly.
I'll stay for an hour out there"
Mabers grandmother lived fully half a
mile from Lena's home, but Lena did not
mind the walk and decided to
Mabel 10 her grandmother's gate from
where she would turn back, for she felt
that she must not remain away from home
too long.
But neither OF the little girls noticed that
clouds were gathering thickly overhead,
and when Lena said goodbye to Mabe at
the gate of the latters grandmother she
turned homewards without hearing the
low thunder which rumbled in the darken-
ing sky. She was so intent on her new
frock, and the sensation II would make at
the party, that she had no ear nor eye for
her surroundings till she had gone a long
way from Mabel's grandmother's home
Then suddenly some big drops OF rain
splashed in her face. cold, November rain.
The day had been delightfully."- warm for
that time Of year and I'm her vanity Lena
had com out without a wrap. She had felt
the chill Of the air on the way 20 MabeIs

nothing about It, and thought that on get

crate fire and get warmed through and
through. But when the drops OF rain
splashed In her face she stopped for an In
slant and looked about her. Then she
ook overhead. The clouds were so heavy
that Lena knew the rain would continue
for some hours, and II would not be wise
for her to stop at any Of the cottages on
the roadside. She must get home as
quickly as possible. So she set off at a
run. the rain coming down faster and
faster. And as there were no sidewalks
at the outskirts OF town Lena was going in
the open road which was becoming very
muddy. Her hat and hair were dripping
when she ran into her own home. confront

that away was down on the ground at
Mother Trees feet.
One morning the leaves knew there was
something in the wind, and at last they
heard this song:
Come, dear little leaves,
Come Ger the meadows
With me to play;
Put on your dresses
OF red and gold;
Summer is gone
And the day grows cold.
The leaves whispered "Goodby" to dear
Mother Tree and flew away at the call OF
Knight North Wind.
All that day they danced and flew about,
their beautiful dresses looking like a rain
bow. When night came they went fast
asleep with never a fear, for Mother Tree
would watch over them.

And they were content;
Soon fast asleep in their earthly bed

All summer long it had danced and sang

It a been a long time since the little
leaf, in its green dress, had first opened its
eyes to look up at the blue sky and then
peek down to the beautiful green carpet

Now. one morning, when the little leaf

the sun to say Good morning and ask

flushed from shame and he called off his
companions. Wait kids; let him alone.
See that pin on his coat? It's like papa
wears-a Masonic PIN
The boys stood back with awe. and
needed their leader. who had become so
serious. Charlie went close to the old
man and STOPPING over him asked:
Are you really a Mason, slr?"
yes, lad; ! nave been a good Mason for
years. And this pin has served me well
before today. But-here are poor old men

The boys exchanged glances Of sympathy,
and each young face wore a blush OF
shame. kids, we must help this poor old
man TO the hospital" declaredl Charlie.
And every day we must go there and
see him and carry some fruit ana flowers

~ to be the greatest party Of it's
kind given by any little girl In the town.
In view Of this fact, (for It must have been
"a fact, as Oracle herself had said it was
to be the grandest party ever given by
a little GRID, Lena had begged her mamma
to make her a new frock to wear on the
occasion. And Lena's Taamma had COM
piled with her little girls request, and
on Saturday morning she called Lena into
the sewing-room to show her the new
frock, which was splendid with ribbon
bows and lace frills. 1t was all blue and
white-the frock and the trimmings, and
reminded Lena of the sky on a summer
day when white clouds floated over Il.
Lena was so overjoyed with the new
frock that she begged her mamma to al
low her to wear It uptown, when she went
on an errand. But the mamma explained
that she might get the pretty best dress
soiled while running the errand, and told
her she must not put It on till time 10
go to the party. OF course. Lena was
much disappointed. for she wanted to go
by Lily Smiths house ou her way uptown
and to show her new frock to Lily. She
hated to walt till 4 o'clock to have her
little friends see the lovely blue and white
dream" SO she went off pouting and
performed the errand for her mamma in
differently. On returning home the house
maid met her at the door, saying:
Miss Lena, your mamma has gone to
make some calls and said to tell you that
she'd be home again before time for you
TO start to the party, She left luncheon
on the table for you. She and your papa
had their luncheon earlier than usual"
Lena went to the dining room and ate
her luncheon. Then she ran upstairs to
take another peep at the new fTock.- How
lovely It was-so blue and white! Then
Lena wondered If it would lit nicely, Her
mamma had never made a dress for her
that did not tit nicely, but this one might
prove the exception. Perhaps she would
better slip Il on to make sure. md II
she found It too tight. or too loose. her
mamma could remedy the error on her
return home.
So Lena quickly slipped out OF her every
day frock and into the pretty new one.
Surely. It must be a bit wrong some
where. But nc, il was a perfit ut and
felt so comfy, Lena had learned how
to button her own frocks. and was not
obliged to call TO the maid 10 assist al
her toilet when her mother was absent
Within a few minutes after determining

the mirror resplendent. Then. TO see just
how she would look at the party. she goI

Then, the little girl, suffering from a severe

He said: "She must remain quietly IN bed
till Monday, and must take this medicine
three times a day, She has taken a very
bad cold through this wetting. and must be
nursed carefully for a while"
And that afternoon while the party was
in progress at Gracie's home one Of the
invited questioning TO her own naughti-
ness and vanity-was lying i'll in bed at

over her disappointment to the patient
mother who nursed her and talked so lovely
to her that her conscience stalked forth

once upon a time a squirrel planted a
nut in the ground on a prairie that was
very bare. 1t was a walnut. 1t was in
the fall when the squirrel had put the
nut in the ground. Then Jack Frost came
and cracked the nut and then it grew. 1t
grew and grew till the tree was SO big
that It could bear nuts. The nuts grew
until in the fall they began 10 get dark
color and at last Jack Frost made them
fall. Then a lot children picked and
planted the nuts untn there are very
many now for little boys and girls to eat.
