blind princess lived.

shine when the gate of the castle was
opened.
What do you want with the King?'
asked the Kings servant.
THAT cannot tell you" replied
Sunshine. "but YOU must let me see
him or the little princess will always
be blind"
When the servant heard thai he let
Sunshine in, for everyone loved the
little princess.
When Sunshine told the King the
cure she had learned from the little
brown men he did not have much
faith, but he wished to try everything,
and so one morning the little princess
set out with Sunshine and gathered
the dew in a cup.
All day they walked, for it was a
long way to the top of the mountain,
and just as the sun was going down
they came to the well of fire
There was grating over the top,
and on this the little blind princess
guided by Sunshine placed the cup,
and as soon as the dew boiled Sun
shine took it off to cool.
Drink it now" she said when it was
cool enough.
The little princess drank, and in a
few minutes she said: Il see a beauti-
full bright light; what is it?"
"That is the sun setting" said Sun
shine. You can see now, and the
world will always look bright to you.

Sunshine took the little princess
sack to the castle, where the King
was waiting, and when he knew that
his daughters sight had been restored
he held a feast and told everyone how
Sunshine had cured the princess, and
that in return for this he intended to
make her his daughter also.
In the midst OF the feast a servant
came to the King and said that a girl
had been found by the side of the
castle wall faint from the want of
food, and when they brought her in
Sunshine saw it was her sister Clouds
But she did not tell the King now
selfish Cloud had been to her; she
only said: "She is my sister: we were
lost in the woods"
When Clouds found how kind and
unselfsh her sister was she became
ashamed of herself and determined to
be like her, so for the sake of Sun
shin the King adopted both of them,

BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS.

Once upon a time there were two
sisters, one was called Sunshine be-
cause she was always laughing and
had a kind word for everyone.
Sunshine and Clouds lived with their
uncle, who was a miser, and when
they grew up lie thought they ate too
much. SO one morning he gave each of
them a pail filed with food and told
them they must go away and earn
their living.
They walked long distance the
FIRST day without finding work, and
when it came night they sat under a
tree to eat their supper
Let US eat the food from your pail
first" said Clouds, "and then we can
throw away the pail and only have
enc pail to carry"
Sunshine thought this was a good
plan, and let her sister help herself to
all the nice things in her pail, and
then next morning they ate from Sun
sines pail also, and when night came
they were still without a place to
isleep and Sunshine's pail was empty.
Clouds sat down to eat her supper,
but she did not offer her sister any
thing to eat. and when Sunshine asked
her for something she replied: eff
you We're silly enough to give away
your share do not think l am silly
also. / shall keep this for myself"
Sunshine cried herself to sleep that
night more because Of her sisters I'M
kindness than because she was hun
CRY, and the next morning when she
awoke she found herself alone. Clouds
had gone away before she was awake
Poor Sunshine walked all day and
asked at each door for work, but none
could she find, and she was afraid to
sleep under a tree alone, so she
crawled between two rocks and pulled
the bushes over her to hide herself
from the animals that lived in the
foods.
When she awoke the moon was
and she heard voices, and,
looking out from her hiding place. she
saw some queer looking little crea-
.ures sitting on the ground. They were
the little brown men and they were
talking of the King who lived in big |
castle not far away.
I could tell him what would restore /
his daughters sight" said one, but !
what good would il do for ne to go to /
the castle; I am so small that they !
would not see me. and If they did I do |
not know what would happen. No, / !
am not going to take any such risk, |
but I will tell you what would cure !
her"
What is it, asked one.
IF the princess would get up early |
in the morning and go into the woods |
while the dew s still on the bushes |
and set d cupful of the dew and then !!
find the well of fire that is now on the !
Top OF the mountain and set the dew |
to boil over it. and when it is cool |
drink ii that would cure her"
Sunshine listened and when the |
little brown men went away she re-
what she had heard, and /!
the next morning she ate some berries !
