be was startled. AS my friend was afraid
at first, picked him up and laid him on
a handkerchief in my hand He at first
tried to get away, but then settled down
in my hand, where he went TO sleep, evi-
IDENTIFY quite at home. We walked little
way, and then he woke UP and became
restless. He was evidently hungry. We
walked faster and when we reached my
home 7 took him into the kitchen. where
we fed him milk out Of a spoon. We were
ali by this time very much excited and de-
lighted with the little stranger. and we be-
came more when he took hold OF the
spoon with his front feet and quickly Tapped
up the milk. getting it all over his face in
q most COmiCal way, which was, OF course.
excusable. as this also was a novel

spoOnfuls were all that he could manage,
SO we then let him run on the grass. He
could not walk steadily, but sprawled All

place VINO was very fond OF the country
and who considered it a very great mis-
fortune TO live in the city. We'll" she

''Oh, no: they Will soon fade. have an
entirely different scheme in view. have
already built the framework of a box, and
l have some screening which I shall use
for the top and both sides. and have left
a wooden bottom. I want you 10 gather
some moss and ferns for me"
When she had completed the box, screen

ferns. with a few Wild plants, very prettily
in the bottom, making It look very nice
Next she put small agate pan. filed with

don't you want TO get me some living

We certainly did want to, and were off
in minute bringing back collection of
frogs, lizards, grasshOppers, caterpillars
and. in fact everything from potato bug
to a turtle. She was more than delighted.
and could not stop thanking US for the
beautiful caterpillars-and beauties they
were, green and velvety black ones, yellow
and brown ones and all sorts of shades.
"Oh! what wonderful butterflies we will
have next summer" she cried. DO put
them right IN here" We got various kinds
Of leaves and put them into the box. al

pillars to feed on. Soon after this the
teacher went home, taking with her her
country IN the box" Not long ago she

found that Midget had pushed the cover
off the box and had crawled on this 3Rdy's
foot She, not knowing what IT was, be-
gan TO scream. After that 7 kept him on

About two weeks ago 7 let him loose IN
the yard. while 7 watched him. went

But all at once his disapprovsl melted away

and-er@go and-er-put a rose In your
hair" and he hurried of and sent swift
messengers TO the kings Of all the neigh
boring countries announcing that he had
a princess for sale and that she was TO go
10 any one who would pay her weight in
diamonds.
AS soon as the various kings and princes
received this message they gathered TO-
gether al their richest Jewels and set OF
! post haste, for the fame Of the beauty Of
the Kings niece had spread IN all lands.
Now, the King had great pair Of scales
made and set UP in the palace yard. and
when the kings and princes were assembled
he sent for the princess and bade her stand
in one side OF the scales Then the first
King stepped forward and began TO throw
bags full Of diamonds into the other side
Of the scales He may have been an
amiahIe King but he was not very pretty,
and al the sight Of him the princesss heart
became heavy. But although he pilsd in
the scales al the diamonds that he pos
sessed. he was not able to outweigh the
princess
Then the next King stepped up, but
when the princess looked at him and saw
how enormously stout he wRs her heart
grew no lighter. and though he threw in
bag after bag OF precious stones the scales
did not wsver.
Now, ker uncle was perfectly delighted
when he discovered the weight of the prin-
cess. and while the rest OF the kings and
princes were trying in vain TO make the
scales tip he stood by rubbing his hands
and chuckling with glse TO see how much
he was going to get for her.
At last all the kings had tried, and none
had succeeded. Just as the princess was
about to step from the scales g young
knight rode into the courtyard. The prin-
cess turned and their eyes met Inne-
diateIy her heart gave such q bound that
the scales almost lifted without any weight
on the other side. Almest-but not quite.
The knight dismOunted, and striding to
the scales, threw in the jewel bag that he
carried. and Immediately the beam tipped
and the princess was lifted from the
ground.
To say that the miserly King was furious
Is 10 put il too mildly. He was SO angry
that he couldn't speak for two weeks, and
when he did speak II was TO declare that
from that time forward he resigned the
and intended TO and live IN q
little hard stone cave way up in the noun
tatns, where he could think of his grtev
ances 10 the end OF time.
The people were not sorry TO have him
go, and the kingdom being thus left with
out q ruler the people made the young
knight King and he and the princess began
thef- happy reign by returning to the peo-
pIe as a wedding present, all the gold and
Jewels in the treasury.
