| OF course. the prince did not suspect.
ana was enchanted with the music he
heard and decided to make AmnOr hls
wife because she was beautiful anu
could make sucn sweet music.
so the day was set Tor the wedding,
and then the selfish. AmnoY, wondered
now she could learn to play the harp
as well as the little princess
So she went to a witch that lived in
the forest and asked her to hep her,
ard the witch told her il she could get
the harp that the little princess played
upon she could play as well as the
princess, Tor the harp was enchanted.
Then Amn0r watched the princess
She went to her room and pretended to
be friendly with her. Where ID your
harp?' she asked one day, and the
princess told her It was Q gift from the
| fairies and could be seen only when
she was playing upon 1t.
Let me see you bring 1t In sight,
said the sly Amnor.
| The little princess did not suspect
i what Amnor had in her mind, and
| readily did AZ she was asked.
| Arise, oh. harp. and take your stand.
Sweet music make at my command"
she repeated, and there stood the harp
Then she played for Amnor. who soon
grew tired and asked to see 1t disap-
pear. and the little princess waved her
hands again and said:
Go. harp of gold. from mortal's sight.
Until bid you come to light
Amnor went away happy and smiling,
for she had the secret she wanted. She
would go to the prince9s's room when
she was out and repeat the magic
words and take the harp and then the
prince would never know.
The day OF the wedding Amnor went
to the room OF the little princess to get
the harp. for she was to go with the
prince to his home tho next day.
But Amnor did not think well upon
what she heard the little princess say
twhen she repeated the magic lines or
she would have remembered that the
last line was Until I bid thee come to
| light
Amnor thought only of getting the
harp. and SO she repeated the lines she
mad heard the little princess say when
she wanted the harp

But instead Of the harp there arose
from the floor q dragon that looked at
her with fiery eyes.
| Her screams brought all the people
in the castle into the room OF the prin-
cess. among them the prince, but when
they asked her what had happened
Amnor could only say. The eyes. those
lost her reason from the fright she re-
ceived when she beheld the dragon.
i The dragon had disappeared -
quickly as 1t came, ana no one but the
little princess suspected what had hap
pened.
At last when all attempts had failed
to quiet Amor. the little princess
spoke. let me try to quiet her." she
said. and she called forth the harp and
began to play. and Immediately Amnor

This queen had a daughter named
Amnor. She was very selfish girl and
wanted everything she saw and every
body to do as she wanted them to do.
She wanted the room where the little
princess slept because 1t was prettier
than the one that was given to her.
Then she wanted a dress of gold cloth
that the little princess wore on state
occasions. ard because 1t would not
fit her, Amnor tore IT into shreds SO
| that the little princess had to stay in
her room when the next ball was given.
This was just what the selfish Ann
nor wanted, because there was to be q
lprince at the ball who was looking for
q wife among the princesses of the
land, and Amnor thought II the real
princess was not there the prince would
think she was q princess and might
choose her, for Amnor was fair to look
upon.
when the king asked for his daueh-
! ter the queen told him she did not feel
| well and had asked to stay in her room.
The little princess, however, was very
unhappy. and had cried until her pref
/! ty eyes were red. Then she thought
OF her harp and called It forth.

heard in the garden of the palace, and
