CHAPTER ~.


Just as Snow.white was beginning
to think everything was safe and tha'
the queen had forgotten her, an idea
drlfted into the queens mind that she
would like to hear her magic mirror
tell her once more that she was the
fairest woman In the world. She
came to the mirror and said:
Looking glass upon the wall
Who is fairest OF us all?'
The glass replied:
Queen, thou are of beauty rare
But Snow white, living in the glen,
With the seven little men.
Is a thousand times more fair.
The queen was very, very surprised
end awfully angry, for she was sure
that she had eaten the heart OF poor
little Snowwhite many days before.
She wondered and wondered how she
could manage to find Snow-white and
Kill her. Then she thought OF way.
She went to a witch and asked her 10
change her into an old pedler woman.
s.tn this disguise she started out to the
woods 10 find Snow-white She dis
covered the little dwarfs' house and
knocked at the door.
Fine wares to sell, Fine wares TO
SELL" she said.
Snow-white saw her, thought she
looked very harmless and opened the
door to her, despite the warning the
dwarfs had given her.
'Wha' figure you are. child. she
said Come let me put new lace
In your stays" Snowwhte thought
this quite reasonable and stood for
the old woman to lace her mp. In
stead OF doing II properly. the woman
pulled the strings so tightly that
Snow.white lost her breath and fell in
faint on the floor.
Now you are done for" said the
wicked queen. hurrying away home.
Snow-whte lay on the floor like a
dead girl until the seven little dwarfs
came home at sun-down. When they
saw her on the floor. lifeless-looking
thew rushed in, unfastened her tight
clothing, threw water in her face and
gradually brought her back to life
As soon as she could listen TO them
Snow.white learned from her kind
protectors that the old pedler woman
was no other than her cruel step
mother. the queen.
"Next time" they said to her, mind
what We tell you. Don't let anyone
into the house. Again Snow-white
promised solemnly 10 be most careful
and again the little dwarfs went on
10 their gold.digging in the woods.
The queen. thinking she had ended
the life of the little girl. surely. this
time. rushed home to her magic mir

Looking glass upon the wall,
"Nyho Ia fotrpst Of us all ."
- Instead of giving the answer she
expected the mirror gave bacl; to hel

last time.
"Why, is Snow-white still xalive?'
asked the queen to herself, blhe witt
