The game rooster was a very lofty
person and had nothing to do with the
common barnyard fowl, but he had
some curiosity to know what would
happen II he should try to take the
chickens away. He went into the yard
and began telling the little chickens
about the last fight he had taken part
in, and soon they were all about him
He moved toward the gate, and it was
then the hen few at him. She did not
play the game according to any rules.
She tapped her wings in the face Of
the black rooster, and when he tried
to fight her in the proper way she
jumped on him. She was SO heavy
that he could not move under her
weight, and she began to pick at his
head in a way that no game rooster
could stand. He was glad enough to
hurry away when he had gained his
feet, and he never threw any more
slurs at the fat hen.

The Fat Hen
Y z e

THE little fat hen waddled down the
path and caught a glimpse of
the black game rooster.
MY" she said. how thin that roost-
err is. That's what comes Of fighting
all the time"
The rooster heard her and crew az
loudly as he could.
That old dame is so fat she can
hardly walk" he said, land that is
what comes of doing nothing all the
time"
You are mistaken, friend" said the
owl. THAT old hen is busy all the time.
She begins in the morning before any
one else is up to hunt for worms and
other delicacies, and she is not a bit
stingy, either, but gives them to the
chickens, especially the ones that are
not able to hunt for them themselves.
Then in due time she lays her egg, and
never misses any of her duties"
Duties" said the black rooster in
solently. But she never has a bit of
fun, but goes about in that humdrum
fashion all the time. No wonder she
is too fat"
What is fun to you." said the owl,
would not be fun to her. But she is
by SO means a coward. Just you try

The Little Fairy

-HE little fairy hid In the leaf of

about II white fairies where call
ing little fairy, little fairy. little
fairy" Why should the little fairy
come out, it thought to itself, for that
day 1t had lost the queen fairy that had
always been SO kind to it. Every
morning early the fairy had stolen out
on a sunbeam. the very first Of the day.
and left the fairy queen in her beauti-
full little palace in the wonderful moss
that grew upon an old oak tree. This
morning it had left the queens palace
as usual, having bade her a loving
good-by, but before the sun had a
eled very high In the sky a
thing had happened. A man had come
with a rake and had gathered the moss
from the branch Of the tree where b
fairy palace was. OF course he could
not hurt the fairy queen. but she had
fed from the ruin of her palace n
the little fairies calling had passed
him by and he continued to hide IN
der the leaves of the Eastwood. Then
all at once, the moo came out and a
cloud as soft as tulle came down
through the moonbeams. He could
hardly believe that it was really his
own fairy queen. and presently she
blew a tiny horn that hung from a RIB
bon seaweed about her neck, and pres
emily all the fairies were about her.
But first among them was the little
fairy who had mourned because he
could not find her. She scolded him
and told him that the love that is per-
feet does not distrust, but whatever
happens have faith that all will com
right, and that he must never again
mourn for her, must be joyful. in FACT
to show that his love is so great that
1t casts off fear.

Tommy says the things that fly
Way up in the winter sky
Are nothing but a lot Of clouds;
But Fanny thinks they're crowds and
crowds
OF lovely birds, who, in their flight
Drop down their feathers, wee and
white,
She caught some feathers Just today,
You should have seen them melt away
Soon as they fell into her hands.
The reason why she understands
They're fairy feathers, now, you know;
And North Wind makes them hurry
That almost fore you turn around
They've covered every inch Of ground.
I'm sure the earth is pleased to be
Blanketed so comfortably.

Why Stories
WHY GRIFFIs PROsPERED.
"a Legend Of Cardigan.)

0RIFFIS was a farmer, and every
market day he took his corn to
the market and always sold 1t at
a good price.
Cardigan market was a favorite
place for the fairies who lived in the
neighboring hills In which to buy their
marketing, and the farmers were glad
to sell to them, they paid so promptly
and never objected that anything was
too dear.
The Little People bought more from
Grifis than from anyone else; they
liked his corn so much, and they be-
cam very friendly with him.
"Griffis!" said they to him one day,
would you like to come home with us
and see some of our treasures?"
Indeed" replied the farmer. "I
would like to do so very much!"
When market is over" said the
fairies, instead of going along the
highway, turn off into the Crooked
Path. and we'll meet you"
Accordingly Griffs turned into the
Crooked Path" instead of going
straight home when he had sold all
his corn, and at the first turn found
his fairy friends waiting for him.
Soon leaving the Crooked Path"
they entered n even more twisted
u which led them to an opening in
the side of a hill. the entrance to the
fairy home.
Grtfhs was amazed at the beauty and
splendor of the fairies home, for the
great hall and the other smaller
rooms were fitted with the most cost
ly and lovely treasures.
There were baskets filled with pre-
ciouss stones, diamonds and rubfes and
sapphires, and vessels Of gold and sill

feet and manfully tried again. Very
stiff and ore was he after sitting
down many times; but after a few
days hard work he found he could at
last slide to the right, then to the left
and still keep going, much to the de-
light Of the others as well as himself.
He very kindly taught them to skate.

sharing those lovely skates.

cheer you on your way"

cloth of gold.
Griffs had never rel imagined such
beautiful things. and he examined all
the wonders with the greatest pleas
ure.
You have treasures from all over
the world" said Griffs.
Indeed we have" said his fairy
hosts. Every country we visit yields
us something ARE and valuable"
ut is wonderful" said Griffs.
What would you like to take home
with you, my friend?" said the fairies.
II do not know" said Griffs. "It is
hard to make a choice where every
thing Is so beautiful; but, indeed, you
do not need to bestow anything on me
1t is pleasure enough to see such
treasures"
The fairies laughed. You are not
very ~grasping. good Griffs, but we
want to give you something. You have
always dealt Justly with us and your
corn is the best in Cardigan market"
Then all the fairies began to intone.
like a kind Of chant:
Jewels rich, jewels rare
Now with Griffs we will share,
Cups of silver. bowls of gold,
All of these shall Grifis hold.
Silken hangings. velvet fine,
Grifhs, all Of these are thine"
The fairies then loaded Griffs with
as many precious things as he could
carry, and led him safely through the
Twisted Lane" to the Crooked Path"
and sent him safely IN his way home.
The friendship between the fairies
and Grifhs lasted as long as the farm
er lived, and many another visit he
paid to the wonderful abode of the fai-
ries, always being given rare and cost
ly presents and always continuing to
sell them good corn.

Now the day is young,
For the little magic fish
BY fishermen long sun.
Let US take our lines, then,
Spun of shimmering dreams.
To catch the little leaping fish.
That dart in fairy streams.
We will very merry be
When we catch a fish,
For each gold or silver one
Is a shining wish.
And we'll bake our fsh. then,
On a driftwood fire,
For who eats Of fish like these.
Has his hearts desire.
