In four days from now, and we can
do nothing but mourn, for this time
the lot has fallen on the bestowed son
of our chief, and we grieye to lose
him." was the reply.
I, "But," said Tatim, that must
be allowed to go on. l must save this
youth"
Loud were the acclamations of the
people at this declaration of Hatim's,
for they did not know that he was
such a famous hero.
oh, stranger. how will that be pos
sible! You have never seen this demon
monster, which we are sure no human
being can overcome"
Hatim only smiled at their fears,
but inquired:
What does the monster look like!
can anyone describe it to me?"
I'VE can show you a picture of him,
which was made by one of our young
men," they answered.
Let me see it then," said Hatim.
When the picture was shown to him
he looked at it very attentively, and
said:
7 think I recognize this monster. 1t
must be Haluka. a terrible demon,
indeed, and against whom no weapon
known to man can prevail"
"Alasl" cried the villagers on hear
ing this; "then are We doomed indeed
with an invulnerable 6end taking us
away to devour."
But Hatim did not join in the la
mentations; instead he ordered the vii
layers to make him a great mirror and
place it in a place that the monster
must pass before he could seize his
weekly prey.
The immense mirror was construct
ed and placed in the designated spot
and Hatim went forth to meet the ex-
pected monster.
At the appointed time it came, and
frightful, indeed. was ii to behold, with
a great mouth in the midst of an I'm
mense bladder-like body
Rapidly it advanced until it came d.
rectly in front of the great mirror,
when it suddenly stopped.
Never had the monster seen any
thing S dreadful looking as its own
reflection in the glass. and he gave a
great roar of anger and amazement.
The very earth shook with the
sound. and 50 angry and enraged was
he that he actually swelled up with such
wrath that his bladder-like body burst
and he fellf down lifeless before the
wondering and rejoicing villagers.
And so Hatim destroyed this mon
ster and freed the grateful people from
fearful Observation-Disclosures Rec

the loveliest Queen that ever ruled In
beautiful Fairyland. 1 was so sur
pr.sed that l cried, oh, the darlingl'
and the fairies were so surprised at
seeing and hearing a really truly child
so near them that they said, Dear
Queen, and would it not be better If
We should vanish at once?'
But she answered, This child who
is standing near us is well versed in
fairy lore. l can tell that by looking
in her clear, truthful eyes. I have
often watched her when she has been
working in these woods, and haye al
ways found her mind and heart filled
with truth, honesty and love. So do

Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-07-15

Floretta, after having her brother
promise that he would not follow her,
walked to the very deepest part of the
woods
Going near the fairy wing, she called
in sweet childish tones: please, please,
Queen of Fairyland. come to me, your
Floretta, / need you, oh so much"
And in a moment there was a rus
ting of gauzy wings and the lovely
Queen attended by her two handsome
elves stood before her and the Queen
said:
why do you need me, dear child?"
Then Floretta told the Queen of her
great wish to attend the village school.
But ] can not do so because there is
always so much work to be DONE" she
explained. NY mother can not spare
me, you see, my brother Is far too
small and weak to do any heavy work.
And my father labors hard in the
woods Winter and Summer, cutting
down trees and ehopping them Into
lengths SO they can be sold My moth
er washes our cloths and keeps the
cottage clean and does the baking and
brewing until she is ready to drop with
fatigue" '
The Queen placed her magic wand
on Floretta's sunny curls, and said:
Dear child, you shall obtain an ed
ucation, for my fairies unseen by any
one but o will assist you every aft
ernoon when you return to the cottage
after attending the village school,"
The next morning Floretta said,
Mother, today l start for the school.
! promise you that I will do the gar,
den work and allow the geese to take
their daily walk"
Every afternoon at 4 o'clock the
flowers and vegetables were attended
by Floretta and assisted by the fairies
and elves. the garden fourished as well
and wen better than it had ever done.
And the geese trudged over hills ana
dales and were fat and strong.
With the extra work of the long
walk to school. Foretta could not IN
derstand why she no longer felt Ia
tigue.
Until the Fairy Queen told her n
day in the woods that her little heart
was so full of sunshine and hapnines.
that her body grew stronger everv
week.
Great was the wonder in the humble
of the poor woodsman that the
child was able to accomplish so much.
and great were the praises given 10
aer at the village school.
The little brother was not forgot
EN- either by the lovely Queen, for she
her fairies healed his many Ills
he, too, grew stout and strong.
Floretta, after years of constant
itudy, became an educated, gifted wom-
IN, instead of an ignorant child.
When she was grown she met a
eally Prince one day in the woods near
he fairy ring. And the next week he
married her. and she became a lovely,
Princess. 7

Hatim.
