hope in his heart, and at last one winter
evening, when he was gray with years and
prav with dust, he came in very truth to the
wonder wood. And at the Joy OF that tlnd1ng
his tagging spirits cheered, and his tired
limbs grew brisk, and his heart drum1ned
the marching roll of youth. And he pushed
his wav through the forest till he came to
the clearing.
Again he made pause, and again Brown
Eyes questioned.
Was the girl there?" she asked with a
voice that she wished was steadler-
The Traveller shook his head. No girl
was there; but where she had stood there
rose a mighty Christmas tree, the mightiest
ever seen or conceived, for its roots were
gripped in the core OF the earth, and Its top
was lost in the clouds of heaven; and ne
knew as he looked that it was Ygdras1l, the
Tree of Life; and it was all blazing with
lights, for it was Christmas Day and a falry
sat at its foot And when the fairy saw the
wanderer she greeted him, and Dade nl1n
come forward and be bold; for he might
choose him whatever gift he pleased from
the Christmas Tree of Life. And there were
crowns on the tree of great Kingdoms, ana
purses that were always plump with gold'
and swords of invincibility, and caps OF IN
visibility, and more such marvelS than
could reckon in a days march.
Again ne paused but this time the girl
said nothing She was too intent III her task
of fastening a little gilt heart to somewhat
troublesome bough. The Traveller went on
with his story.
But the wanderer saw, tar away and
above him on high bough among the stars
d little gold heart swinging, and as 1t swung
the wood seemed filed with music, and he
dreamed waking, and he knew for sure that
the heart was the heart OF his heart S desire,
and he pointed to the beautiful thing, and
besought the fairy to give it him.
The Traveller stopped again, so long tins
time that it would seem as If he had tInlshed
the tale. Brown Eyes was annoyed TO IND
that her fingers were trembling so provok-
ingly that she could not satisfactorily secure
the heart to the bough. To comfort herself
in the trying silence she asked:
Did the fairy give him the heart!
The Traveller rose to his feet. There IS
the curious part of my story. l cannot yet
tell YOU how it ended. Yet it ought TO have
an end All fairy tales should end somehow
sadly or happily" He moved nearer to the
girl, and stood beside her where she bent
over her refractory task.
You offered me a gift from your Christ
mas tree, Just as the fairy IN my tale offered
one to the wanderer from Ygdrasil, the
Christmas Tree of Life. Well have set my
heart upon a gift. viii you give me this lit
tie golden heart" He pointed to the little
toy that quivered IN her fingers.
