EVENING
TALE s.
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
ON TOP OF MOUNTAIN PEAK.

Il haven't told you yet about the
Dance the Fairies gave at the TOP Of
Mountain Peak for their friends the
Clouds" said Daddy.
The Fairies had had such a good
time at the Dance the Clouds had
given that they wanted to make theirs
huge success, too.
1T was cool day, and Mr.. Sun was
shining hard while Mr.. Wind was hav-
ing an argument with him as to wheth-
er it was a warm day or not.
Mr.. Sun said 1t was nice and
warm, for he was working hard and
seeing that everyone was warm. Then
Mr.. Wind said it was a fine cold day
for he was blowing hard. They al
most had quarrel about it, and then
they overheard some Grown-Up say:
It's warm in the Sun today. but
otherwise it's really quite cold for the
Wind has sharpness to it So that
settled the dispute for then they both
knew they were right.
We'll, it was just the sort of a day
the Fairies wanted for their Dance.

some men achieve great success
with moderate abilities. while their
more Neutrality-suspicious. fall short
This IS true in every business
and profession. 1t does not matter
so much whether a man has enc
mics or not as that he has true
friends who will never desert him.
To have loyal friends is WORT,
all else. To have friends who can
be depended on is to gain SUCCESS
in life.
But there is one thing to be borne
i'll mind: To have true friends
you must be one. The quality
of loyalty you get depends on the
qaulity you give.

The Sky was the most beautiful shade
of blue and the Clouds came dancing
along to the party in fine array-which
means fine feathers or fine clothes.
You know how sometimes you've
seen the Clouds go SC quickly along
you've wondered where they were
bound for Well, usually when they're
hurrying like that, Oh a cool day when
the Sky is a very deep blue, more
than likely they are on their way to
q Dance on the Mountain Peak which
the Fairies are giving.
But this afternoon the Fairies had a
special treat fer the Clouds. In the
first place the Mountain Peak wore
his very finest blue cap which he only
wears on very important occasions.
And in the second place the Fairies
lid their Mountain Dance.
They few from one little peak to
another and then they flew about in
groups, carrying with them garIands
Of beautiful honeysuckle and ivy
zines.
The Clouds were delighted and be.
gan tearing about in glee Then Mr.,
Sun was SO excited that he came over
to see the Fairies Dance too. And he
went behind one Of the Clouds so that
the Earth People said it was surely
going to Rain.
And Of course Mr.. Wind flew about
having the gayest sort of time. And
too, he was pleased for he had won
the dispute with Mr. Sun. Now it Ger.
tainly was a very cool day for the
Earth People when Mr.. Sun was so
lazy and had to watch parties. But
Mr.. Sun didn't care.
AS for the Clouds and the little
Fairies they had the jolliest, best sort
Of a time, and just before 1t was time
for the Clouds to leave, all the little
inomes who lived In the Mountain
Peak came out and did their tricks.
One very fat Gnome did a trick
which he called turning somer.
,aults-'
THAT isn't such a wonderful trick
Nick burst out.
But it was a funny trick for him
o do as he turned all his somersaults
ideways-and they looked more like
trick of rolling over and over than
omersaults. But it gave the party
very jolly ending"

be unstayed above the dying bed
where your darlings lie like vreaths
Of fading snow beneath the glance
OF death; but if you believe in God
and hold any faith III heaven, shed
not your tears for the blessed and
happy dead. Christianity gives
the lie to its belief when il earbs
itself in sables and mourns without
comfort for those who have ex-
changed the inn for the palace, the
wilderness for the land of peace
