Ellen she wished to see her in the
drawing room, where q company of
little girls and boys rushed to Ellen
with shouts of joy.
After they had played games, a maid
came to the door and told them they
were all wanted in the dining room.
When they were in the dining room
what, to their wondering eyes should
they see, but the Twelfth Night cake,
which Mrs. Vance sliced and passed
around to the children. Ellen took q
bite and her teeth struck something
hard. She found it to be the pea which
was in the cake.
The king was Mrs. Vancc's nephew,
Harry, and the procession followed,
where Ellen and Harry were seated on
the throne, and a very happy time
followed.
Mrs. Vance explained to Ellen and
the little guests that Ellen was her
niece whom she had been looking for
since her brothers death. Ellen lived
with Mrs. Vance the rest of her life
and never found amy gloomy days af-
terward. MARIE S. CLARK,

ELLEN, / am your fairy godmother
The fairy queen has sent me to bid

on Twelfth Night. Now close your
eyes"

the ground she felt dazed but she
soon became aware of people around
her.
It's little girl asleep!" cried one.
Then, as they saw she was awaken
ing, they began to question her Ellen
tried to tell them of the fairy, but
they only laughed and said she'd been
dreaming, and had walked in her
sleep. Then a young lady, whom they
called Celia, talked to her so kindly
that she confided to her that she had
been playing she was the Twelfth
Night queen.
"Oh!" cried Miss Celia impulsively,
'lets take her with us! With her
large eyes and pretty curls, I'm sure
she will make a perfectly beautiful
little queen"
The rest of the evening seemed like
a dream to Ellen. She was taken to q
beautiful house, brilliantly lighted,
where masquerade ball was being
given. Miss Celia telephoned Ellen's
mistress, and obtained permission to
keep her all evening. Then she dressed
her in a lovely costume and brushed
her curls and tied them with a large
pink bow. Ellen's eyes sparkled as she
saw in a long mirror what a transfor-
nation had been wrought in her ap-
pearance She was delighted to have
her dream come true, for that even
ing all addressed her as your maj
esty."
The next day Miss Celia and her
father and mother took Ellen back to
her mistress, but in q few days they
obtained permission to take her home
with them. She was of such a lovahle
disposition, and so resembled little
sister whom Miss Celia had lost few
years before that they soon adopted
her. FLORENCE NJ. -MOOIE.

will you come with me? You VIII not
have to be a serving maid any more2''
"I'n come. but how will we get
there?"
"Trust that to me-" The fairy waved
her wand over Ellen and she became
small. She then waved her wand over
the fire and it went out.
They stepped into the crate and
went down, down, down, and landed
in the queens hall. At one end We're
two beautiful thrones. On the back
of one was written "Queen of the
Twelfth Night" on the other king
