The market on killers was little slow

Vueeh' bird. You have
splendid big family and Mr.. Mock
ingbird sang a wonderful song-with
the most marvellous tune that he had
made up for the Fairy Queens Party.
"Well, what have you been up to
lately, Mr.. KilldeerT asked the Fairy
Queen.
I've been eating a lot of naughty
Insects which were trying to eat up
the Farmers Fruit Groves. And I've
chewed well some Of the Mosquito
Family-for they're not at all pleas
ant to have around. I've given Din
ners and Dinners until thought l, and
my friends, and my little Bird Family
would never finish eating. But some
how 1t did us good to eat up the bad
Insects. Yes, and we've had Ban
quet of Horse Flies. We simply can't
bear to think they bite the splendid
Horses we see going along the roads
pulling wagons with People and Farm
ers and Children
"T've eaten bad bugs and Insects
too said the Ruby Crowned Kinglet.
i've eaten horrid Wasps that sting
Folks and a lot Of the Creatures that
try to eat up the little Plants the
Children care so much for
"That's Splendid said the Fairy
Queen. How proud I am of you all.
AS for you, Mr.. Blue Jay, we'll have
you tell us your Story after Luncheon,
as we must start in soon.
"'At any rate, sir, you are looking
very handsome, and the shade of blue
| you're wearing seems almost more
wonderful than ever
'The Blue Jay was very proud when
he heard the Fairy Queen say that,
and he told his Wife and all his Chill
dren and the rest of his relations to
fly over the Fairy Queens head In a
circle, singing:
"'Thank you, thank you, Fairy Queen,
"'We're very glad that we're not green,
Because you say you like US blue,
"tAnd our greatest Joy is to please
you
"The Fairy Queen waved her wand,
and she said, Luncheon is ready
"Just then the most marvellous Table
made of wild Cherry Leaves was
spread down by one hundred little Fai-
ries, and before the Birds could
whistle, oh me, oh myp in surprise,
delicious FOOD for the Luncheon was
put upon the Table in little dishes
made of Green Leaves. There were
also drinking Cups made of the hollow
Stones which the Fairy Queen always
has for her Bird Guests and which
they like better than any other kind.
"Thev had Fruits of all sorts cut up
into dainty little pieces, and they had
delicious little Bugs and Worms which

be some left over for the next Party,
and the next and next.
After the Luncheon was over and
the Birds had sung many songs, and
the Fairies had danced and played
with the afternoon shadows, the Fairy
Queen said:
81 have a surprise for the Birds
"They twittered and chatted among
themselves as to what the treat might
be. when Mr.. MOckingbird (who had
been let into the secreO began to sing
n song which sounded like Water
trickling down the side Of the Fairy
Spring.
az guess the surprise is an extra
drink of Water for each of us, said
Mr.. Blue Jay, to have just before we
start for our homes

The Fairy Queen thought she
should have a Luncheon Party, and
she asked the Fairy Messengers to In
