fairy food when all at once from
the tree and bushes dropped those
naughty spider COLLINS right in their
midst.
Up jumped the Fairies crying out
with fright and away they ran, hiding
under all sorts of things to escape
their tormentors.
But the COLLINS were not satisfied
with frightening the Fairies once
they ran this way and that, trying to
find them and send them fitting about
like so. many scared little butterflies.
When the Fairy Queen saw the
spider COLLINS looking tor the Fairies
she knew that some charmed spell
was upon them and when she touched
one with her wand and that did not
change it to Goblin she knew that
it was King Oberon's work, for she
could not undo his work until his hour
was over.
So she whispered to all of her
Fairies telling them not to be fright
ened, that it was the mischievous Cob
Inns and that they would be sorry
little fellows if they could be kept in
the dell until the magic hour Of King
Oberon's power had passed.
So the Fairies pretended to be very
much frightened and the COLLINS in.
tent upon their pranks and thinking
it was great fun stayed until the sun
was up.
They scampered Off in hurry when
they saw the light, but, Of course
King Oberon had gone home long be-
fore.
"Oh, what shall we do?" moaned
| the COLLINS, for in their spidery forms
they could not give the magic signal,
the three knocks that opened the door
to their homes inside the moss covered
rocks.
And there the Queen and her Fairies
found them, for they followed them
soon after they ran, we'll knowing
what would happen and If anyone
begged hard to be helped out Of trou-
BILE those mischievous little COLLINS
did when they saw the Fairy Queen.
They promised to be good, they
promised never, never again to go to
King Oberon to be changed into any
form and they told the Queen she
was the most powerful among the
magic folk, and they thought King
Oberon only pretender and not at
all king.
With one wave from the Queens
wand and those of her subjects, the
COLLINS received their own forms
again, and as soon as they had
thanked the Queen and the Fairies
they ran with shamed faces for their
homes, while the Fairies and their
Queen fitted off to Fairyland and
were soon in their beds fast asleep.

like"
"Oh, no, we'd rather be spiders with
lots of legs so we can run fast" said
the mischlevous little fellow. 1--WE
want to brighten the Fairies at their
feast In the dell"
This pleased King Oberon very
much, but he did not tell the COLLINS
that his power lasted only short
time, and that they might have to
remain spiders until the next night
unless they returned within the magic
hour.
So the COLLINS called all their
brothers to be right on time when the
magic hour came around and King
Oberon changed them all into spiders
which scampered to the dell as fast
as their legs would carry them.
The little Fairies and their Queen
were sitting around a cobweb table
