For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE FLOWER FAIRIES BALL.

= T was moonlight in the woods. Under
the tall trees was the deep, black
shadow of midnight, but out in the
open the glow was a golden mist
that turned everything to sheeny yel-
low. The fireflies twinkled about in the
gloom of the damp fern bogs. And on
the warm, sweet night air there was the
strange silvery singing as if a thou
sand tiny birds were trilling under the
leaves. For it was the night of the
flower fairies BAH, which is given
every year on the full of the August
moon.
The circle of green in the center OF
the grove was smooth and covered with
soft grass whose tufts were tiny boards
of grain so closely woven together as to
form a carpet. To this spot there were
coming crowds of fairies by the hun
dreds Some were riding on flower
stems. others on dragon-fiies, but most
of them floating gently by on gauzy
wings of all colors that flashed like
rainbows in the moonlight. The grea,
ball was about to begin and the fairies
were assembling.
Down near the foot of this grave in
the jungle was the home of big tigress
and her three cubs. They could hear
the soft music trembling on the breeze
and as they listened they lifted their
huge heads and vrlnkled their tawny
skins.
What is that, mother" asked the
youngest fellow, whose name was
Brownie. Il never heard this noise be.
fore
"Of course, you have not" purred the
mother tiger, as she rubbed Spots back
with her paw. but it is the fairies
! they are having a ball in the full OF
the August moon"
II think 1 will creep up and see the
fun" remarked the oldest cub. Il have
never seen a fairy yet"
No, no." replied the mother quickly
THAT would be very wrong. Don't you
know that if any living animal ever
peeped at the fairies when dancing they
would be turned at once to flowers
themselves. Don't go near the spot
it would be very dangerous and I would
never see you again"
The little cub called Brownie listened
very carefully. He had always wanted
tC see fairy, and thought 1t would be
fun to chase them about just like many
children do the lighting bugs in sum-
rner, But he did not say word to his
mother about it. The family stayed
au AXE for a long time. but presently
all except the youngest was stretched
out on their bed of leaves and snoring
loudly.
Brownie knew this was his chance
Creeping carefully, he managed to get
cut of the bed without waking the
others, then he tramped softly toward
the circle where the FAIRIES were dane
ing in the moonlight The flashing
light1 and the music delighted him. Then

ha could smell the danties spread out
on the ground at one side-cakes and
wines and honey of the most delicious
kind.
So he lay close to the ground, and
| inch by inch crept forward on his stom-
ach till his black nose was just at the
eGge OF the circle of light. The 'faries
were just sitting down to their food and
never dreamed of an enemy watching
from under the bushes at the side.
The Queen of the FAIRIES sat at the
head Of the banquet and began the feast
by holding aloft a tiny golden goblet
full of wine. At this sight the mis-
chievous Brownie decided to break up
the party. So arching his back for a
mighty spring. he leaped into the air
and came pouncing down in the midst OF
the crowd.
In a moment there was the widest
for a moment For the Queen remem-
bered her power in an instant.
You have dared, wicked animal she
cried. Ito venture on our feast and
break up our pleasure. You shall have
your punishment. You shall be turned
into a flower, and as long as the world
lasts all over it shall flourish the tiger
lily with it's red petals and its brown
stripes" And she waves her wand OF
light over the astonished cubs head.
In a seconds time there was no young
tiger there at all-only standing soli-
tary in the center of the green circle
was a tall plant whose bloom was a
red lily, with brown stripes. Around in
tho moonlight danced and sang the
fairies, and the lily swayed back and
forth as if in pain. Down in the jun
gle il could hear the mother tiger
proving around looking for the lost
cub, and the sound only made 1t rock
more violently.
By dawn the fairies had gone. but
there still stood the lily, swaying on its
stem, longing to be a tiger cub again
and hating to know that for millions
and millions of years, till the fairies
grew old-which took millions and mill
lions of years-it must be a flower and
known to all the world as a tiger lily.
