THE WISH FAIRY HEARS

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Once there was little boy who was
always wishing.
One day when he was quarreling with
his little sister he said in an angry
passion, II wish you would go away
and never come back"
His mother happened to hear him
say this, so she at once called her
daughter out of the room, telling her
not to play with brother or let him
see her for whole day.
The little boy ate his dinner alone;
he wondered where sister was, but he
remembered the quarrel. He went into
the library and tried to read His
mother came in, said nothing, but took
her sewing and sat by the window.
Soon there came a voice very softly
from a corner.
'Mother.'
No answer.
"Motheri" a little louder.
What is it?"
where's sister,"
Without word the mother arose and
left the room.
Then he went up to the nursery, but
sister wasn't there: so he went out in
the yard, but saw no signs OF her
He was very lonely. II wish I hadn't
quarreled with her" he thought, cor
said what I did?"
he sought his mother, and, throwing
his arms around her neck, said in sob
bing tones: SMother. 1 didn't mean to
talk that way. Tn awfully sorry.
Where's sister? I didn't want her to
go away and never come back"
Just then the door opened, and sister
came in from a walk with nurse.
The boy ran over to her and hugged
and kissed her, exclaiming joyfully:
"Oh, I am so glad you came back. I
didn't want you to go away and stay,
and I'll never say so again"
Now. my dear children" said the
loving mother, "never wish anything
that you don't want to happen, be-
cause the wishing fairy might hear you
again.
And they never did.

GRANTS ONLY KIND WISHES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A little girl whose name was May
was lying under a large maple tree
when a beautiful fairy came. She
wore a gown of silk which was given
her in fairyland for being a good fairy.
II am a wish fairy" she said to May.
May I have any wish that I may
ask?" said May.
II answer only good and unselfsh
Wishes" returned the fairy
WELL" said May, II wish that had
a dress more beautiful than any one in
the world"
II will not answer that WISH" said
the fairy, because it is selfish wish"
II wish that I lived in a golden
house." said May.
II can answer that wish, but the
robbers would kill you and take the
golden house away" she said.
May was thinking hard what to say,
when thought came to her, and this
is what she said:
81 wish that I could be a good girl
and love everybody"
II will answer your WISH" said the
fairy. WILMOT HAASE.

Nov, Mabel" said the fairy, what
do you wish for?"
II wish" said Mabel, that all little
boys and girls might have plenty to
eat and home like l have"
The fairy told her that she had
chosen wisely and that she would not
regret her wish.
Mabel went to sleep with a smile on
her face and the wish fairy went on
her way, for there were many more
good children to be visited.
The next day when Mabel got up she
found a big basket of flowers with a
card which said, For the girl who is
not selfish"

A soft voice seemed to say, THAT
which is done cannot be undone."
A woman in white with mantle as
blue as the heavens stood beside him
and placed warm hand upon his cold
forehead.
The son of Wind yawned and
stretched his cramped limbs, exclaim-
ing, "Thor, what a terrible dream. :"
A superstitious dread seized him and
he sprang up from his resting place on
the old stone steps and raced for the
fjiord.
He came upon his mother as she
was seeking the first spring flowers.
He threw his strong young arms
about her The lady pushed back the
damp locks and inquired why the sud-
den embrace.
For answer the head of Morse hair
went down on her shoulder and she
felt the sob that the owner stifled.
Thorgrim was ever after considered
the most contented of men. While his
mother never asks she often wonders
what the dream may have been to
cause her son to cease wishing. She
smiles and mods her beautiful head
when thinking of that day, but says
nothing. PANSY WOOLLEY.

THE WISH FAIRY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I was lying in the hammock one
bright summer day when suddenly +
heard a little voice say: Child, would
you like to go with me to my castle?"
I looked around. but could see nothing
at first, but glancing up in the tree I
saw tiny little fairy sitting on a large
butterfly and holding him by two little
lines of silk
l couldn't answer ] was so amazed
but the fairy looked so kind and gentle
that l lost all fear, and said 1 would
like to go very much
Take my hand and you will see a
ring, pull it off. now turn it three times
and follow me on that green and gold
butterfly above your head"
did as she told me- and I became as
small as the fairy, and I climbed on
the butterfly, and away we flew
till we came to a tiny little castle all
covered with precious stones, with little
diamonds for lights. Two little fairies
were standing at the door to receive
us and took us through long hall
into room called the throne room. At
one end was a throne covered with
beautiful stones and a chair that
sparkled. 1t was one large diamond
cut in the shape of chair
The fairy seated herself in this chair

Topics grows very rapidly within
~ the next two weeks, shall dis
continue this department and put
something else in its place. There was
a decided demand for this work from
boys and girls of high school age, and
since it has started very few of those
who professed interest in the matter
have done anything toward maintain
ing a lively department 1 am disap-
pointed and extremely sorry about the
whole thing. 1 dropped the unfinished
stories in which hosts of boys and
girls took great pleasure and sub
stituted this work, and then it meets
with so Indifferent a reception that l
feel hurt and sorry. I had hoped that
we might develop some good, lively
articles on these topics, and 1 know
that a good many of them have been
suggestive of ideas that you could have
utilized for your own benefit as well
as for the good of the Junior How
ever, if no one wants this department,
l can think of half dozen good ones
to put in its place, and it is for the
boys and girls themselves to decide.
Unless there are at least ten papers
submitted for every week after this
one the department will be dropped.
The subjects announced in advance
ought all to encourage lively interest.
You all have ideas upon these topics.
Write them out and send them to me.
Do you think, honestly, that father
should be the sole guardian of his
child?
Do you believe with all your heart
that any celebration which endangers
life and limb, causes physical disfigure-
ment and frequent loss of sight or
hearing is a proper way for boys and
girls of this enlightened generation to
show their patriotism?
Do you believe that America is the
best place for the poor but ambitious
boy? If not America. what country
then does offer the best chance, and
why do you think so?
| know there will be lots of letters
on this new subject in the writer's
contest. The boys and girls of the
writer's contest will tell me all about
their vacation plans, and many of
them, [ hope, will include some little
corner of their time for work al Herald
Junior papers. | hope to have some
good news about vacation prizes very
soon. l think-mind, l am not promis-
ing anything as yet-but I think the
prizes this year will be even better
than those we had last year, and the
midsummer frolic will be something
which we shall remember for a long,
long time. l wish some of the boys
and girls who were at the picnic last
year would rub up their memories
about that day a little for very soon
| shall ask for something about that
in the writing contest, and you will all
need to remember well, to tell What l
shall asked about it,
1t is unfortunate for me that / am
now so very busy at the office that [
do not have time to see you all when
you come in for your prizes, but | can
assure you that l am as deeply inter-
ested in each of you as ever, and hope
that when you can you will come to
see me. When you do not find me
here, my assistant, Miss Lucille Col
Inns, will try to take my place, and
l am sure you will find her interested
and helpful about your work.
With much love for you all.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was just midnight and the wish

The wish fairy said that her wish
was granted and if she would go out
in the garden she would find a village
which had been brought directly from
the country called Doll Land.
Next she flew to Arthur's house.

At the very outset his originality carried him
by leaps and bounds beyond the limitations of
Jan van Scorel, his master. At the time
1t is important to remember that to Van Scorel
he owed heavy debt. When the young painter

idea of his success as a court painter may be
gathered from the names OF a few Of his sit

the royal house of Portugal; of Queen Mary of
England of William the Silent, of Elizabeth of
Falois. afterward Queen of Spain; of the Duke
Of Alba, and OF others only a few degrees less
eminent.
What were the traits that he brought to the
portrayal of these personages? They have al

the points stated above may be further devel-
