the LOVING
CUP LEGEND.

The new teacher Of the little red
brick schoolhouse had already proved
herself to be very lovable.
School became a real pleasure to the
country lads and lassies, and they
were really almost sorry when Satur'
day rolled around. When one OF them
said 80 to her, teacher smiled and ask
ed: "well, shall we 60 a-picnicking to-
eether on Saturday. It's sure to be a
lovely September day, cool and breezy
and we can have a royal time"
This sounded very delightful, and all
the children were at teachers home
bright and early, lunch baskets I'D
hand.
It was merry party that set forth
They took an old road which led
through the woods and rambled down
nv the side of the hill, from which a
lovely view of the valley could be had.
The children had never thought much
of the beauties Of the country until
teacher had begun to teach them.
It was lovely day, and they walked
for miles before stopping to rest. When
they at last came to where a little
spring dubbed out from a bank OF
moss and gurgled away down the hill
teacher proposed lunch. Baskets were
opened, and all ate with appetite.
Teacher asked for drink, and a doz-
en- cups were dipped in the spring and
handed her. But 1t Is sad to relate
most of the children were thoughtless
enough to hold the handles themselves
instead of turning them toward her.
Teacher smiled and thanked them ana
after drinking said, would you ike
me to tell you storyT
When all exclaimed a glad Yes
ma'am," she began:
"Once upon time there lived a
great king who owned the finest king
dom In all the world. His woods were
wild and extensive, his horses ano
dogs as fleet as the wind, and 1t was

the kings favorite pastime to hunt.
Now, one day as he was galloping
through his forest he became separated
from his companions and wandered
about for some time quite bewildered.
Finally he came upon little hut ut
the edge Of the stream, and by Its
door stood a little goose girl, very
sweet and very much abashed at sight
Of the fine stranger, though she did
not know It was the king.
"My good child said he, barring his
head with a right royal courtesy,
would you be so good as to give me
drink Of this delicious waterr
1.-THE child nodded, too shy to speak.
and went into the hut, returning with
an earthen jug with small handle.
This she dipped in the stream and
handed the king, keeping her hand on
the handle. The king half smiled at
such unmeant rudeness, and yet 1t
made him sorry too. He thanked her
with all the ceremony he would have
used toward a princess and rode
away.
HE thought much Of the incident
and finally decided to teach the child
better manners by a very generous
gift. He ordered his silversmith to
make him silver cup lined with gold
and to place a handle on either side.
This he sent to the child and again
rode that way. He asked her for q
second drink.
"The simple child, thinking to do all
honor to her king, brought forth the
Iilver cup and filled 1t, but, alas. held
both handles as she presented It to
him.
1.-The king was sorely perplexed as
to what to do to teach her better. He
at last ordered another cup, this time
to have his crest upon 1t and three
handles. Again he went to her for a
drink. The little maid, all smiles,
held two handles while she held to.
ward him the third. At last she IN
lerst0od.
"And So" continued the teacher, 1--WE
call the three handled cups loving
cups today, for they are sure to be
presented with love and courtesy. My
long talk has made me thirsty. VIII
some one give me drinkT
A dozen cups were held to the
spring, then handed her, and this time
n dozen handles leaned toward her.
The teacher smiled her kindest smile
and then suggested that they wander
home.
