ON THRONE hBONE HEN bhf n SoErsS'
rolled leaf that was talking. The rab-
bit had probably brushed the snow
from that one leaf, and 1t was stand
Ing straight and free.
1t was Il very Obedient little girl who
placed her finger in the leaf and closed
her eyes when she was told to. Nor did
she open them again. not even to peep.
till she heard q voice far above her
say, "Now see what is before you"
Was 1t really or was she dreaming?
For twas fairyland. and on throne
above her sat queen, clothed In the
most lovely gown, which reflected her
every mood. Sometimes 1t threw forth
a rosy light. showing the queens pleas
ure. Then again cold blue light
would take Its place, and all the little
fairies would trembllngly kneel before
their queen, whose every wish was
law.
Dorothy looked in amazement. for
the ever changing lights continually
cast a rainbow splendOr over the place.
AS the queen spoke all was dark
ness. Dorothy crouched against u
marble pillar as though for protec-
ton.
1.-The leaf fairy has asked me many
times for permission to show you this
palace. At last / have consented.

SO away they went so swiftly that
Dorothy could not see half Of the
beautiful things around her. Soon the
fairy opened door on which funny
little bells chimed out the name Of the
one entering.
In this room was great spruce
tree, so high that the top could not be
seen. To the branches were attached
by invisible wires large balls Of differ
ent colors and SO many that 1t remind
ed Dorothy Of her own Christmas
tree, only this was so much prettier.
The fairy leaf was saying, Now /
will show you yours" and she pointed
to one Of the balls.
Dorothy examined 1t and found. to
her surprise. a little fairy with the let
ter D fastened on her dress, seated
upon her colored ball. But there were
black marks running through the many
colors, and Dorothy noticed some were
prettier than hers.
So she asked what 1t meant. and she
was told that the fairy upon each ball
on looking within could see reflected
the good and naughty things each child
did from day to day. II naughty a
black line was drawn, but the fairy
was always glad to paint the bright
colors, for they were good deeds.
Two little salty tears ran down Doro-
thy's cheeks. She hoped no one no.
tlced them, but she could not help
crying, for her own ball had lots ana
lots of black lines in It.
The leaf fairy took Dorothy back to
the queen. who asked her to come
again in a few weeks to see the ball.
Vhen she placed her finger In the leaf
md was once mere In the world OF
Inow.
Had she gone to sleep and dreamed
shi4
Dorothy was sure that she had not.
Anyway, she hurried home as fast as
she could so as to help mamma with
the dishes, for she must make her ball
rs lovely as the rest on that beautiful
tree.-Philadelphi Record.

MAYoNNAIsE DRESSING.

To be successful you must have all
your ingredients at the same tempera-
ture, and use the proportion of one pint
of olive oil to the yolks of two raw eggs.
Season the egg with saltspoonful OF
salt and tiny pinch of red pepper aud
beat with a wooden or silver fork until
it thickeps; add one teaspoonful OF
vinegar, beat thoroughly, then slowly
add q little of the oil, beating hard all
the time; add a few drops of vinegar,
until not over two tablespoonful have
been used altogether, alternating with
the oil until tho dressing is like q smooth,
thick cream. There is little danger OF
curdling If the eggs are strictly fresh and
II the oil is added slowly.

Salads for All Tastes.

You know Shakespeare says "Salad 10
not amiss to cool mans stomach In hot
weather." but not only at that season
but all seasons of the year Is 1t q most
acceptable dish. It can be used as one
of the courses at an elaborate dinner or
the principal dish Of plain luncheon.
A salad can be made of go many kinds
of food-meats, fish, vegetables, fruits,
etc.-that 1t is hard to choose which OF
the many combinations to use for any
occasion; but here are q few recipes
which may be of help to the housewife.
She must remember, however, that much
depends on the proper mixing OF the
dressing, whether French or mayonnaise.
French dressing is the simplest OF all
the salad dressing. The usual proper.
lions are one-third as much vinegar az
oil and to every four tablespoonfuls OF
oil and vinegar a saltspoonful of salt and
one-half saltspoonful Of pepper is used.
Some prefer less vinegar and use one
fourth of vinegar or lemon juice. For a
tomato salad q dash of dry mustard Is
considered an improvement.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1910-08-30

Beat up one raw egg and add two
tablespoonfuls of butter, one tablespoon.
full of sugar, one teaspoonful of mustard,
half teaspoonful of salt, a pinch OF
cayenne pepper. Beat all this very
thoroughly. Boil five tablespoonful OF
vinegar and stir in the mixture. Set
this in pan of boiling water until thick.

RED GATE.

CanOe-Maker.
Tippecanoe, Indiana.

This, then, was the home Of the
canoe-maker mentioned by lima. I
found his name repeated on the rural
delivery mail box affixed to the sign
post. Henry Holbrook was probably a
boarder at the house-it required no
great deductive powers to fathom
that. I stole back through the hedge
and down to the household. Several
canoes, carefully covered with tar
paulins, lay about the deck, and chairs
were drawn up close to the long, low
house in shipshape fashion. If this
houseboat was the canoe-maker's shop
he had chosen a secluded and pictur-
esque spot for it. :. -.
As I leaned against the rail study
ing the lines of the house, heard sud
denly the creak of an oarlock in the
stream behind, and then low voices
talking. /. drew back against the
house and waited. Possibly the ca
noe-maker had been abroad, or, more
likely. Henry Holbrook had gone forth
upon some michief, and my mind few
at once to the two women at st. Aga
tha's, one Of whom at least was still
under my protection. The boat APP
