Hansel here broke a large piece OF
cake of the wall. The voice from in
side again repeated the same question
as before:
'Nibble, nibble, little mouse,
Who nibbles at my little house?"
Hansel and Gretel then called to-
gether: THE wind. the wind; the
child Of heaven"
AS they said this, the upper half of
the door Of the Crunching Munching
House opened. and the awful old
ogress of a witch, of whom Hansel's
father had spoken the day before, put
out her head. The children were SO
busy over their feast of dainties that
they did not notice the evil, wrinkled
face leering at them.
Gretel said tauntingly to Hansel:
wait, you nibbling little mouse, the
cat will soon come out OF the little
house"
Hansel answered rather gruffly:

Despite this vaunt, Maysie kept as
far away as possible, and sat, erect
and formal, upon straight backed
chair near the window. From time to
time she put her handkerchief to her
nose, ostensibly to wipe it. In point
of fact she was trying not to breathe
any more than possible.

The next day, as soon as she had got

glass, carefully. No blotcnes on her
face yet, and her eyes seemed normal.
Did her head ache little? She was
almost inclined to think it did, but
refused to give in to ii. Her mother
gave her a glance only, and then sent
her on an errand. This was too much.
1t was unfair, Maysie thought, for one
who was deliberately sacrificed to the
measles, and in vacation, too, to have
to do chores as well. There was a lit
tie pleasure i'll it, however, when, pass

CHAPTER III.

vAP HEN the children had finished
w their prayer, they sank back
w upon the moss and were soon
asleep, their arms about one
another. II was not long, however,
before a light began to show through
the mists which still covered part OF
the open space where the children
We're. This light seemed to come from
heaven, and the mists gradually gath
cred and made steps, as the light grew
brighter and brighter. Down these
steps. stretching away up into the sky
so far that they reached heaven, came
fourteen angels, walking in pairs.
They were all dressed in beautiful gar
meLts of different colors and their
faces were shining.
AT last daylight appeared again. A
bird twittered sharply in the glade
where the children slept. Gradually
the eastern sky grew rosy and then
turned to q pale yellow as the sun
appeared. A few rays of sunshine
sh"ne through the treetops and made
patches of light about Hansel and
Gretel.
Where am To- said Gretel, sleepily.
Am | awake? Is this a dream?'
She held out her hands, looking up
into the branches and then. suddenly,
caught sight of Hansel, still asleep.
Hansel opened his eyes, yawned and
stretched himself.
He went toward the back of the
glade, where the mists which hung
about the Ilsen Stone were gradually
vanishing under the rays Of the morn
ing sun. Even as Hansel approached,
the last trace of mist disappeared, and
In place of the pine trees, which had
been there on the previous evening,
stood the Crunching Munching House,
glittering in the rays of the rising sun.
At little distance to the left was
large bakers oven, and, on the other
side, huge cage with iron bars. the
whole surrounded by a fence made of
life-sized gingerbread girls and boys.
The house itself was all made of cake
and good things that little girls and
boys like to eat.
When the children saw this wonder
full house and smelt the delicious smell
of dainties which came from there,
they stood still in amazement. Then
Hansel started to go forward. but
Gretel threw her arms about him, cry
ing: Stay where you are. stay where
you are!'
But Hansel was SO charmed that he
scarcely needed Greters words. "See
how the house seems to smile upon
u.s." and he added eagerly, 1.-The angels
have brought us here!"
Hansels suggestion was too tempt
ing for Gretel to resist. SO each one
taking the others hand, the two chill
dren cried:
Yes, let's nibble like two little
gnaw,ug mice"
The children hoped few steps
nearer and then waited to see If they
could hear any sound. AS all was
silent they stole forward on tiptoe.
After waiting moment HanSel call-
tiously broke a little piece of cake off
the right-hand corner of the house.
AS he did so there came a shrill voice
from within:
"Nibble. nibble. little mouse,
Who nibbles at my little house?"
Hansel, in terror, let the cake fall
to the ground, but Gretel, with a

her hand a rope with moose at one
end of it. She stole cautiously up be-
hind the children. who never heard
her, and threw the moose quickly over
Hansel's head, pulling the rope tight
and holding the laughing boy pris-
oner.
"He-he. he-he, he-he-he!" laughed
the witch. when she saw Hansel's
plight.
The two children stood looking at
her. frightened and amazed.
Hansel, in terror. struggled to free
himself, crying: Let me go. Who
are your
Hansel's struggles were vain and the
witch did not bother to answer his
question. Instead. she went up to
Gretel and patted the little girls pink
cheek with her rough, ill-shaped hand.
Dear little angel she said. And
you, my little sugar clown. You came
here to find me, did you? That's fine.
Dear children; so plump and round!"
The witch again broke into peals of
laughter and a wicked light shone in
her eyes.

"Oh, everybody's got to have the

blood. and you'll be all the better for
it. You see"
Maysie's father grinned. You'll
like it," he added.
To Maysie this sounded sinister. The
project alarmed her. She felt as she
always had when the subject of a
loose tooth was mentioned. She feared
Immediately that the thing, like pulling
the tooth, was inevitable, and a black
foreboding came over her. She reach
ed over and clutched at her mothers
sleeve.
"Oh, ma, don't please. I'm scared"

the children lovingly. Hansel drew
back roughly.

"He-he-he!" cracked the witch.
What a fine devils brat you are!
And you, too, my dearest little girl"
Then she sang, in as alluring voice
as she could:

Then she tried to lead Hansel off,
but the boy resisted sturdily.

brother?" asked Gretel.

listen. Hansel, 1 will whisper 1T in
your ear"
And she tiptoed towards him.
Say it out loud aud not in my ear,
said Hansel, bravely. What pleasure
is waiting for me-"
'Ah, my dear pretty child; sight and
hearing will both leave you in the
midst Of this pleasure" said the witch
rubbing her hands and chuckling.
During the preceding conversation
Hansel had been working his arms sc
as to loosen the moose which bound
him. In this he had been successful
and, by this time felt that he had the
moose so loose that he could easily slip
1t over his head, SO he called det1antly:
"Oh, my eyes and ears are very good
Have a care how you harm me. Gre
tel,'' he sailed to his sister, don't be-
lieye these fair words"
Gretel had now come close to him and
he whispered: Come, let's run for It,"
Quickly he slipped the moose over
his head. and taking Gretel by the
hand. started to run towards the
woods. But the witch was too sly for
him. She raised her staff and cried in
commanding tone: Halt"
Then, making the witches motion
with her stick, she stopped the chill
dren from going any further.
The yard about the house began to
grow dark; It seemed as if a heavy
cloud had covered the sun. The chill
dren stood motionless. Then the
tob in
it seemed to freeze Hansels and Get
tells blood:
"HocuS pocus, witches spell,
Move and you shall rue it we'll!
Spellbound are you by my glance:
Move your head and you shall dance!
Then the witch began to make new
motions with her staff, turning the
children around SO that they faced her.
The end of the staff began to glow,
and she held it up before them.
"Hocus pocus, here comes Jocus;
Children, see the magic head!
Eyes front now, as l have said!
TO your stall, or you are dead!
Hocus pocus, bonus jocus,
4 Malus locus, hocus pocus."
, AS she said the last words of this
spell, she led Hansel, who kept his
eyes fixed on the end of her staff. to
the iron cage, which she made him
enter, closing the iron-barred door be-
hind him. Meanwhile Gretel stood mo-
tionless and the darkness began &c
fade slowly away
After the witch had locked the door
behind Hansel, she came over to
Gretel and said, rubbing her hands
with pleasure: Now. little Gretel. be
nice and sensible. Hansel will soon
be fat. Well feed him upon almonds
and raisins; they're the best things.
l am going into the house and will
bring them right out. Don't you move
from where you are
The witch then hobbled off mutter-
ing to herself. Gretel stood stiff and
immovable. Finally, she sighed deep
ly and said. in a tone OF disgust:
"Whew, how terror-stricken / am be-
fore the witch!'
"Gretel, sh!" called Hansel from the
cage in a loud whisper. Don't speak
so loudly. Be very clever and notice
we'll everything that the witch does.
Appear 10 do everything she wants
you to--here she comes back again

and said, just as timidly: THE wind
Then, together, the children said:

Gretel picked up the piece Of cake
and tasted it,
Hmm she cried.
Then Hansel asked. looking at Gre

There, try It," answered Gretel, CIV
ing him a bite of her cake.
"Ah-h!" said Hansel, laying his
hand on his breast in delight and clos
ing his eyes.
"Ah-h!' said Gretel likewise.
Then both the children cried in
glee:
