Dear Busy Bees: ! have written
to YOU before, so will write again.
! am sending a story and hope Mr..
Waste Basket has gone walking.
There once lived a king who had
two daughters. One day he asked
them which was the sweete est--sugar
or salt. Sugar said the oldc,
daughter. Salt said the younger
daughter
The king thought that the young
er daughter was mocking him, SO he
said:
The first thing that see when
! open the door you shall marry.
He opened the door and there stood
a prince, so OF course the princess
married him. At the wedding the
princess had everything favored
with sugar and She did not put any
salt on the table When they were
eating the king cried
Where is the salt?"
(which is the sweetest, sugar o.
salt" asked the princess.
Salt" said the king.
Il thought So said the princess
She then had them bring in the
dishes of salt. so you see salt is
s"eeter than sugar.

Toe and Bessie were the names of
fisherman and his wife. They
lived up among the cliffs in an old
thstchcd cottage. When storms
were going on the water from the
ocean would beat up against the
little house until it shook. One
night a terrific storm came up and
the wind and rain were enough to
make anyone unhappy, but these
two had more than that to make
them unhappy. The facts were they
had no money and the rent was
overdue, and the landlord said they
must go. Joe lost his boat a week
ago and their pig died and the two
hens wouldn't lay any eggs, so you
see they had quite enough to be
miserable and sigh about. Joe and
Bessie sat hand in hand and, al
though they had often wished they
had baby, they were pleased now
that they didn't have any, for how
dreadful it would be if it would be
hungry and they had nothing to
give it to eat. Pretty soon knock
at the door broke their silence. The
door opened and the weather-beaten
face OF one of Joe's friends ap-
peared "Hulloa, therer he cried:
There's been a wreck. come lend
a hand" Joe and Bessie were soon
out to the beach helping bring up
the driftwood to the beach. After
the work was finished they saw
tiny speck floating near them. A
big wave came and swept It to the
coast in front of Bessie's feet.
1t turned out to be an oaken
chest. Bessie opened it and guess
what was in it? | bet you can't
guess. Gold? Silver? No. 1t was
a tiny little baby girl with bright
blue eyes and smile on its lit-
tie mouth.
In five minutes all the village chill
dren fetched it milk. apples and
cakes and sweets There never was
such fuss made about any baby
before. They found bag of gold
in the chest, but nothing whatever
to show who the baby was, 50 they

should take care OF her. They
called the little grille Betty Jane"
They paid the rent and got a new
boat, two more hens that laid eggs
every day and aspig, and the rest Of
the money they put in stocking
for Betty Jane. And now they live
in a pretty cottage on the top OF
a cliff where the windows are not
rickety and you can see the bright
blue sea. Betty Jane calls Bessie
her dear nanny, and Joe her dear
daddy. They have never found out
who the baby really is. She may
be a princess for all we know, but
of this | am certain-she is the pet
and pride of the village and her
mothers darling and her daddy's
dearest little maid.
