The Wonderful Scissors

This story was submitted by one OF our
readers who signed name. II the writer
will send W. his her name we will pub
iisb ii neXt week.
On a small island off the coast OF
Spain grew a wonderful wood. In the
centre Of this wood stood huge ap-
pie tree which bore golden fruit all
the year round. 1t was said that If
any one could get one OF these apples
he would have long life and riches.
But the tree was guarded by terrible
dragon and no one dared go near it.
The king of the country had seven
sons. The three oldest were dark and
handsome; the three youngest were
fair and handsome. but the middle one
was very plain and unattractive. When
the six handsome sons went out to
seek their fortunes, their father gave
each one a sword and beautiful
horse, but to the ugly son ne gave
only a pair of scissors and told him
TO 90 on foot and seek his fortune.
The unfortunate prince started out
and wandered far and wide, but people
did not know he was a prince, and
he was always distrusted.
One day. while he was wandering
through the forest, fairy appeared
and told him not to be discouraged,
because his scissors would be of great
use TO him some time if he would do
one kind act with them every day.
She also told him that they must be
commanded by rhyme. BY this time
his scissors were very rusty and he
found it difficult to use them at frst.
but each day they grew sharper and
brighter.
While passing through town one
dav he heard the people say that the
kings six sons were going to try to
get the golden apples. He stopped
overnight at the inn and the follow
ing day, when he saw his brothers, he
asked them if he might go with them.
Not knowing who he was, they con-
sented because they needed many
rowers.
They set off amid the cheers OF the
n.ople and rowed until they came to
the small island where the apple tree
with the goldeR apples grew They

CHAPTER XIV.
BY DAVID VI. CORY.

To think that he had saved little
Piggie Porker from Tom the Piper's
Son gave Puss Junior more pleasure
than anything he had done up to this
time. 1t made him feel so happy that
he almost whistled with delight as he
marched along the highway.
Suddenly the sound OF loud blast
from horn came across the meadow
He stopped to listen. Again he heard
the sharp notes OF the bugle, and in
another moment from out of the corn
fields on the left rushed herd OF
cows. He jumped to the top rail OF
the fence to get out OF their way as
they trotted past him down the road
toward farmhouse short distance
away
81 wonder who blew that horn" h.
said to himself and, jumping down,
he started to cross the meadow. y

All of these little people live in ST.
IBERIA. Do YOU know where that is?
1t is really part of the. Russian En-
pire. but what is spoken of as Russia
is in Europe. The other part, Siberia,
is in Asia.
1t is very cold there all the year
round. Indeed, at Yaqutsk, where the
little girl all bundled up in furs lives,
it is often 80 degrees below zero.
That is why she has to wear such
warm clothes.
They are made of very expensive
furs. sable, silver fox and blue marten,
and in our country would be worth at
least $4,000. Her jewelry consists of
long strings OF bright colored beads
and fringe OF little bells.
The little Pookst girl also wears the
bells. Her clothes are not of fur, but
Of hide. Her family are traders, and
they sell so many of their furs TO the
explorers that they have not enough
left for themselves.
In the other picture are a mother
and daughter of the Gold Tribe, who
live along the Amur River, in Eastern
4. Siberia. Their clothes are made en-
tirely Of fish skin. Even the wonder
full ornaments with which their dresses
are covered are cut from fish skin and
are sewed on with fish skin thread.
While these people are really in a
very primitive state and can neither
read nor write, they excel in elabo-
rate designing and embroidery, and to
be skilled in needlework is regarded
as great merit.

HE WAKES BOY BLUE.

In the centre OF the field was big
haymow. and as he was about to pass
it he noticed on the shady side a
pretty boy in blue fast asleep.
Little Boy Blue, come blow your
horn said Puss Junior.
For goodness sake, don't say that

and rubbing his eyes. It's bad enough

could reply there came big spider,
who sat down beside her, and fright
ened Miss Muffet away.
She won't come back said Boy
Blue. as Puss called after the little
gil; "she won't stop running till she

fore, ano she was afraid to come back
for about week.
We'll, we might as well finish the
curds and whey said Puss, who had
liked the first spoonful she had given
HIM. Lets finish it. And he licked
his whiskers.
After they had finished. Puss Junior
turned to Boy Blue and said: Il must
go. for haven't nearly finished my
journey OF adventures. Goodby.'
"Goodby, Pussy" cried Boy Blue,
rs he turned back to his sheep in the

Little Boy Blue, as Puss slid down
