THE MAGIC POOL.

~ nee upon . time q poor knight
was travelling through forest.
~ 1t was dark except where the
moonlight threw gleam
through the trees on his silver shield.
but he was not afraid, for he was true
knight that knew not fear. At the
heels Of the horse followed q tall hound.
As the knight stepped out Of the
woods on q plain he saw a spring bub-
bling its way across the road. And by
the water sat an old woman In q black
cloak.
Where are you going. Sir Knight?"
asked the old woman.
Il am riding to seek the hand OF the
fair princess at the court Of the king"
he replied gently. II have no gold or
silver. but can manage q lance brave
ly with the best"
As the knight was speaking. the old
woman stopped to get a drink Of water
In q silver cup. but a. she was bending
down the hound playfully jumped ON
her and the water was dashed to the
ground.

hands" cried the old woman In Q rage.
II will pay you we'll for thiar Then
she took another cup. drew sign In It's
brim and threw the water right into
the face Of the knight.
Forever and q day.
A deer you shall stay.
TIL some fair maid break the spell

sang the old woman. who vas In reality
q witch, who made her home In the
woods and spent her nights In making
trouble for kind folks.
The knight fell from his horse. Be-
fore he rose to his feet he felt that
his form was changing; that he had
four feet instead Of two: that horns
were growing upon his head. and in.
stead OF clothes he was covered with
smooth hair. And when he scrambled
up and looked into the pool he saw In
the moonlight that he had been changed
into q deer. With . wild bound Of
terror he leaped away into the forest
and fled to the very depths. far from
any human beings sight.
For months he wandered sadly about
nibbling at the grass. but with tears In
his big. soft. brown eyes. At his heels
followed the faithful hound. Summer

went into these very woods for game.
And with him was the beautiful prin-

But one bright morning she took sew

Hair splitting. especially with curly

remedy Is singing. This should be done
at some reliable hair dresser's cnce u
