was enchanted with the music he heard
and decided to make Amnor his wife be-
cause she was beautiful and could make
such sweet music.
So the day was set for the wedding.
and then the selfish Amnor wondered
how 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 help her,
and the witch told her if she could get
the harp that little Princess played
upon she could play as well as the
Princess. for the harp was enchanted.
Then Amnor watched the Princess.
She went to her room and pretended to
be friendly with her. Where is your
harp" she asked one day. and the
Princess told her it was a gift from the
fairies and could be seen only when she
was playing upon it,.
Let me see you bring it in sight,
said the sly AmnoT.
The little Princess did not suspect
what Amnor had in her mind, and read
lily did as she was asked.
Arise, o harp, and take yCur 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 SCI it disap-
pear. and the little Princess waved her
hands again and said:
Go harp of gold. from Tortals' 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 Princess room when
she was out and repea. 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 20 with the
Prince to his home the next day.
But Amnor did not tnInk we'll upon
what she heard the little Princess say
when she repeated the mnEtc lines or
she would have remembered that the
last line was Until bid YOU 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.
Arise, O harp. and take your stanG.
Sweet music make ut my command"
But instead of the harp there arosa

her with fiery eyes.

lost her reason from the fright she re-
cetved when she beheld the dragon.
The dragon had disappeared as quick
ly as 1t come, and no one but the little
Princess suspected what had happened

in the audience who have no groves
asked to be taxed the same as if they
owned so to 100 acres of bearing
trees.
Contributions can be sent to the
