THE MAGIC MIRROR AND THE

There was once n magic mirror that
had the power OF making every one
who looked in it appear beautiful. It
belonged to an cnchantrcss. who dwelt
inside rocky mountain, in mystic

Jewels and riches and power beyond

enchanted with their own beauty that
they gladly gave her all they pos
sessed for the sake of being allowed
another look
Now. after this had continued for
! some time. the King who ruled over
the country where the enchantrcss
lived noticed that each year the money
that came into his treasury decreased
and that THO merchants were complain
ing of hard times. Investigating, he
discovered that the people were spend
ing all their money to buy the privi-
lege OF glance in the sorceress's
mirror.
AZ length things grew so serious
that the King offered reward to any
one who would bring the mirror to
the palace. At this the sorceress was
much amused, and in her turn offered
TO give the mirror to any one who.

but each OF them, having once gazed
IN the mirror. was so enraptured with
his appearance that he offered the
corceress all he possessed for another
glance. So things grew worse instead
of better.
Now. the King had daughter, a
little girl about fourteen years, who
was unusually beautiful. Fearing she
would grow up vein and selfish, he
had her brought up in a part of the
palace In which there were no mirrors,
so that she had never seen her own re-
