he slipped on an old well and fell

Then Jams ran to the fireplace and

tate of a rich lord in Russia
AS they were very poor the lad decided
that he would go to work for the lord.
who promised that he would pay the
boy we'll at the end Of the year. JAMS
duty was to herd the great flocks of
goats which ranged over the hills. and
he was fond Of his work. But his fare
was scanty, the lord gave him no cloth
ing, and his bed was Of straw in the
barn.
Il will not complain" said JAMS to
himself. Perhaps when the year is
out the lord will pay me WELL
So he herded his flock well and lived
humbnng in his rags, yet he made a
plenty Of friends among the birds and
the little animals that ran about on the
rocks. One day he happened to pull up
strange out beautiful fern. and as he
did so. some Of its seed fell into his
shoes. Then an odd thing happened-all
about him he could hear a singing
sound, and this was the grass and trees
talking.

are talking about"
He, knew that. as the gnomes could
not see him while he had the seed In
his shoes. he would be perhaps able to
learn something of value. So he ran
back into the cave where party Of
little men sat around fire drinking and
eating their supper.
1T is funny about that flute" JAMS
heard one gnome remark. "It has been
hanging on the wall Of the lords din
ing room for fifty years. and no one
knows that it Is magical"
What will it do?" asked the gnome's
wife. who sat at his side
1T will make all dance that hear it."
replied the gnome. so the person
playing has to stop up his ears with
cotton. Then IL one that is made to
dance is wicked person, they will keep
on dancing till they die"
'Of course" returned the gnome's
wife, the lord does not know il, for
he is such a greedy person he would
have sold it long ago. Neither does he
know that his grandfather buried a pot
Of gold under the kitchen chimney"
1T is blessing he does not know
about the gold" laughed another
gnome. He would have 1t up and spend
1t all on himself. He has no family or
friends, and every one hates him for his
meanness.'
Jams went back to his flock, shook
the fernseed out Of his Shoes and drove
the goats home. It happened that this
