THE LITTLE GIRL.

Mr.. Wood Elf and the boy and girl

rows of small mountains.
Mother Gossip hurried along, too.
She was hoping to find out enough

and like sharp, bright bits of steel.

they saw a girl. She was not very

was crying bitterly.

The Necessity of campaign of I'M

and persistent an enemy, and no other
