Bedtime Stories
Little Folks
Why BuTTEacups ARE GOLD.

1t was a great night with the fairies.
The queen was busy dressing the baby,
the tiny maids were fitting about
from flower to flower, and even
-Squank, that funny little goblin, was
as excited as if he were going on a
trip. For it was the night for the new
baby to be christened.
Just before it was time for the cere
mony to begin Squank received note
to hurry to the queen, and when he
got there he found her in quite state
of mind.
ooh! Squank," she exclaimed
something dreadful has happened"
"WhatT' exclaimed the little goblin
in terror.
"Why, l forgot to invite the greer
dwarf to the christening and he is
awful angry" wept the queen. "He
sent me word by dragon fly that he
would get his revenge. What shall
do?"
Squank spun around three times on
his heels, scratched behind his left
ear with one toe of his right foot, then
replied: 81 will keep on the watch,
trust me. Let everything go on as
usual and I will keep a lookout for his
royal highness, the green dwarf"
So the feast began. The tiny baby
lay Graded in the blossom of lovely
white flower, whose petals were like
flakes of snow. There it lay, a pink,
dimpled wee mite, as beautiful as a
dream. clothed in gold tissue sewed
with tiny pearls.
Right in the middle of the rejoicing
there came a sound of whirring wings
and a huge eagle swOOped down on
the party of frightened fairies. On it's
back rode the hideuos green dwarf
The dwarf seized the flower which
held the baby, broke it from its stem
and in a moment the great bird was
rushing out into the night-but not
before Squank had got hold of it's
great legs. There he hung as the
eagle beat through the air toward a

Well" said the dwarf, as he came
over to a cupboard on which lay two
small silver bottles, Il guess | can get
even with the queen now. | will pour
some of this liquid on the baby, and
it will turn green-how angry 1t will
make her to find green baby in her
room in the morning"
Well" he continued, 81 must be
careful and use the right bottle, for if
I got the wrong one 1t will turn the
/ baby a golden color"
Then, as the pot began to boil over,
he ran to the fire Now Squank had
an idea-if the baby had to be turned
any color, it had better be golden than
green, so he ran upon the cupboard
and changed the places OF the two
bottles.
The dwarf took up the wrong bottle
and came over to the table. AS he
raised the bottle to pour out the magic
liquid the pot boiled over a second
time, the porridge splitting out on the
! fire and putting out the blaze. AS this
was the only light the cave had, it was
now almost dark. SO Squank jumped
over to the flower, jerked up the baby
and hid with it again behind the cup.
But the dwarf had not seen him and
began to pour out the stuff from the
bottle. 1t fell on the tiny white flower
and turned it a golden hue, a lovely,
cleaning, shining gold.
While the dwarf turned to relight
| the fire Squank seized the golden
| flower, and placing the baby in it, hid
both in his vest. Then he leaped from
the table and in trice was out of the
cavern, racing like mad for home.
At dawn he reached the queen and
laid the baby safe and well, in her
arms. Then, tired and worn out, the
happy little goblin sank in sleep on
her floor
But when he awOke he found the
| golden flower still in his vest. So he
planted it at once in the soft, warm
moss.
And down the ages it has come, the

At last the eagle swept downward
and alighted at the mouth of cavern
whose door was hidden by pines. The
dwarf alighted, and taking thebaby
in his hand, ran back into the cave

The inside of the cavern was light
