Brownies Bit and Sup"
" " "

IN very, very old times, when the
fairies called Brownies were pler-
tiful in Scotland, one of these same
little sprites attached himself to Farmer
Richard and his farm.
OF course, he could not often be
seen, but he was well known to be
there, for the work was always getting
done speedily whether Farmer Richard
was close at hand or far away.
Often when the maids came down In
the morning they found that Brownie
had been before them, sweeping and
duting, lighting fires and starting
preparations for breakfast.
But Brownie was very strict and
watched both men and maids closely
and If they neglected their work or
did anything amiss he always straight
way reported it to the farmer.
4 Indeed. no one escaped the 'fgilant
eye Of Brownie. and consequently he
was feared and dislikcd, though that
made no difference whatever to
Brownie.
Farmer Richard, as it happened, was
= yery stingy man, and In especial
gave those in his employ a most scanty
supply of food.
Indeed, the maids and men grumbled
very much, but the farmer paid no
heed to their complaints, telling them
he was mot going to pamper them by
giving them luxuries for so much that
they would be tempted to waste good
food, which would be a sin"
One morning two of the maids, Ka-
THE and Annie, after making a rather
scanty breakfast, decided when no one
was looking to hide away a great dish
Of oaten meal porridge and a bowl of
milk.
Said Annie: 1--WE will hide it behind
the door, and when all go to the milk
ing we can eat it and no one will be
the wiser"
"Tll agree to that" said Kathie. "for
I have not had half enough for my
breakfast"
But Kathie and Annie quite forgot

So she decided to stay in one spot

So she commenced to drive her staff
