The Beautifui Worm.

One upon a time ever so long ago, q
worm was wriggling along the road. 1t
was beginning to rain and looked a
though it might be going to rain for
some time. All at once the werm came
to a tree and under the tree was a little
fairy crying very hard The worm
stopped and asked her what was the
matter. and the fairy said h a lost
her way and she was afraid she would
get wet. h worm old her to come
with him and he would help her.
They walked a little and at last
came to a yard, and in this yard were
some pieces of linen the washwoman
had spread on h grass to dry in the
sun. The worm n the fairy crept
under q big piece and Struggled together
until the rain stopped and when they
crawled out they were both nice and
dry.
The fairy was very tired SO the worm
made her hop on his back and. in this
way they both started for her home.
After a long time they reached the
fai1y's home and as it was very late the
worm stayed there all night. In the
morning the Fairy Queen thanked him
for being so good to the little lost fairy
and said: "For you kindness o and
all your family. forever and ever. shall
be different from all the other worms"
She touched his body n an at once
he began to turn a beautiful gold and
green that g%listened In the sun. How
proud he was of his new suit. He
thanked the Queen for her goodness
and told her he would never forget any
Of them and would always be ready if
they needed his help.
He babe them goodbye and started
to walk back to his own home. When
he arrived no one knew him. They
thought he was q strange kind of worm
and would not let him into his house.
So he went far away to live and that
iS the reason the beautiful green and
gold worms we sometimes see never live

CHAPTER ".

What had he done? Was it some
great unnamed, unheard Of crime he
had unconsciously committed? Could
n one understand or excuse such
asinine stupidity? Could he ever hold
up his head again, though he fled to
the most distant part of the globe?
Was there nothing the could save the
situation? Now. before they left the
church, could he not declare the truth.
and set things right. undo the words
that had been spoken in the presence
OF all these witnesses, nj send out to
find the real bridegroom? Surely
neither law nor gospel could endorse
a bond made in the ignorance of either
participant. 1t would, of course, be a
terrible thing for h bride, but better

pledged by that hand clasp to answer
the appeal in her eyes and protect her.
This, then, was what it had meant!
But his commission! What Of that?
"A matter of life and DEATH" All! but
this was more than life or death!
