It was; no one could explain II. for
IL was indeed unusuai--that Is. no one
could explain 1t but Hop.
The fairies had been busy for a
long time collecting paints, a. was
their custom, with which to paint the
leaves Hop was one Of those who was
detailed to watch the paints. There
were brilliant orange. delicate yellow.
and bright yellow. delicate pink and
flaming pink. and cans and cans OF
paint that haven't even got any names.
One day Hop wanted to go for a walk
to rest little from watching. He
was hopping from flower to flower and

Hop did not waite minute; II was
afternoon then, but he had made up
mountains. and told all the other fairies
Of his plan. Although the mountain
WAS shrouded by purple mist. still
one fairy had to guard the place con-

stumble on their secret
The fairies went to work and that
evening the sky was beautiful to see
there was delicate pink that merged
into yellow. then mingled with
orange, The poor little lame girl saw
1t and clapped her hands for Joy; she
was so happy. When the other fairies
came home they were greatly disap-
pointed to nnd their paints almost all

he had done right They Just went to
work and made more paints ana they

The little lame girl did not sigh any
more for . beautiful sunset: for the
fairies saw that the sky was painted

evenings to come. for that brought the
sunsets. She gradually grew better
and better until finally she was wall.

other studies of the child. But such
was the boys eagerness for his IA

The boy was a wonder. for he played

felt that he should not disappoint

to Berlin and presented him to the
Elector. afterward Frederick the First
of Prussia. who was SO much pleased
with his precocious talents that he
offered to take charge of his educa-

His father was famous surgeon

son for the same profession that he

the boy from the first showed won

learned tunes readily and nothing

any musical instrument. In fact. the
boys whole instinct seemed to be
bound up in love for musical sounds
and a desire to practice music.
This displeased his father very much
for he thought music only fit for 1tal-

learn to play or sing, but had him
taught other studies by skilful teach
