 Loud Voices
 As Fransco reached home and was about to open the door, he heard someone saying very loud, You won't give me the boy, eh2 You'll repent this to your dying day. you old witch" Fransco wondered who it could be who would dare call his dear gentle grandmother such a name, but Madre Marie answered quietly No. Pedro. you shall not have the boy, my dead daughters son, whom I and everyone who knows him loves, to assist you in your wicked works" Who says they are wicked?" cried Pedro angrily. T did. You know they are, for if they were not. I would gladly give up the boy" this she could not help saying a little angry.
 Pedro was about to spring upon Madre Marie but Fransco who had heard everything quickly threw open the door and jumped upon Pedro's back before he could reach Madre Marie. With an oath Pedro shook

Franseo off and exclaimed, "You lit- tie imp, I'll teach you to attend to your own affairs" Pedro picked up chair and before Fransco could rise from the floor, he had hit him on the head. Madre Marie screamed, "oh, Pedro, you have killed your son" She ran to Fransco's side and bent over his ~~lifeless form. He lives yet" she said with a sigh of relief. Madre Marie turned and was about to say something to Pedro but he was gone. Tenderly she lift ed Franseo up and laid him on a bed.
 He Opens His Eyes
 few minutes later Fransco re- gained consciousness. He looked around in bewilderment, but sud denly the truth flashed upon him that he had been hit on the head by Pedro.
 Many people who heard Madre Marie scream had come to see what Lad happened and were now stand ing around the bed Madre Marie and Padre Esta were at his side, and dear little lame Evarda. who would never again be able to walk without her crutches, was also there.

Little Fransco was beautiful Spanish boy who lived in Mexico City. Though but 12 years, he played the violin wonderfully. Not night went by that little lame Evarda, Fransco's dearest friend was not put to sleep by the soft strains of Fransco's violin, as she said it often comforted her when she was in pain. Fransco lived with his grand mother whom he called Madre Marie. They were often visited by villain ous looking man named Pedro. The accounts of these visits puzzled Francisco that he was entirely left in the dark.
 They Discover His Art
 Fransco often played his violin at mass. One afternoon as he was practicing for Padre Esta. an Amer ican priest who had been listening intently. suddenly jumped up from his seat and exclaimed, Fully for you. Fransco. You'll be master violinist some day. If you keep on playing the way you you did this afternoon. you1l surely make the world shed many tears" Thank you, padre" answered Fransco, T am glad you like my playing. Some times as I go along, playing any thing I think of. l see tears in Madre

not see he stuck manfully to the job Then down, down through the atmosphere he volplaned, until the feather deposited him softly in the yard where little girl semed to be playing all by herself.
 "I wonder if she's the little girl with the blue eyes?' though Tot Tin, making sure that he was invisible.
 Was in Trouble
 As he got up close, he found that instead of playing, the little girl. was really wringing her hands and bending over something near the corner of the fence.
 Just then the little girls mother came into the yard.
 "Oh, can't you see, mammal. she cried Its those horrid horrid old worms that are eating all our gar den up--every flower-and l was so sure l was going to have some baskets to sell for the fresh aid fund so little sick children could be sent to the country this summer.'
 q don't know what to do,'' sadly said the mother. You just can't have any, I guess. Even your father doesn't know what to do any more. We'll all just have to do without any flowers, it seems, forever-the worms are so bad,
 Seems like the old worms would stop eating my flowers when they know how much I want to help the sick ehldren There isn't anything else in the world that I can do. I guess I'll never have any more money to give, at all.'
 Eager to Help
 Little Blue Eyes was almost cry- ing.
 Tot Tim stood dead still. wonder ing what he could do, He wanted to know more about the little sick chill dren who had to go to the country to get well. So he sat down, cross legged. close to a sweet pea vine so he could question the little pink flower and learn everything about It. You see" explained the litle pink flower/ there are lots of little chil- dren whose parents are poor, and who make such little bit of money that they must live in miserable small houses where not much air gets in. Then they don't get a lot 10 eat either. Thus the children can rot grow up with bodies that are strong enough to resist disease. So some very kind persons have organ ized d society which takes up money, goes to the homes of these poor lit tie children, gets their parents per- mission and then sends them to the country to spend a few weeks where they can get good medical treat r,ent, lots of fresh milk to drink and good food.
 Must All Die
 This little girl has been growing us so that we might be sold to wealthy lady, who often comes to buy flowers We are thus always so happy to try to grow as beautiful as possible, because we are to be used for such a wonderful purpose. But last year, and this year, big worm family has moved into the yard, which just swoops down on all

ask suddenly. "Madre Marie, who was that man?" Oh, Fransco, that was yourNfather. He left you with me when your good mother died. l heard not very long ago that he was a criminal and wanted you to assist him in his wicked works but l could not let you go. Madre Marie again broke down with sobs, and Padre Esta gently led her away. Then he said softly to little Fransco. Dear little Fransco, do not be alarmed, Sut I fear you are going to die, so prepare yourself for the last saera- ments." Yes, Padre" said Fransco quietly "I know I am going to die Out am not afraid to go before the presence of God"
 His Last Music
 After Fransco had received the last sacraments, he turned to his grand mother and said: "Madre Marie, l am about to leave you. and before l do am going to play my violin for the last time, as it is the one thing l loved most In this world next to you and Padre Bsta."
 While Fransco was playing he say tears in everyones eyes. As the last strains died away little Fransco closed his eyes for the last time in this world.-Ethel Silvey. in Sacramento Star.

scoops and every variety of fairy dirks necessary to the extermination Of worms.
 The fairies fell upon the wicked worms and in 10 seconds had im- prisoned or killed all the group. and even the leader of another cotierie of worms in the yard came and gave himself up, and his entire tribe.
 Tot Tim Pressed
 In the meanwhile, nobody had been paying much attention to Tot Tim But he was fighting desperately, and by the time the fairies great battle was over, he had pinned Mrs. Worm $ tail fast to a section of earth, and was tying her with strong piece of his horse-hair belt as the White Fairy cape up.
 Great work" she said to Tot Tim. But just let me manage this from now onn'
 Then Tot Tim did not know the great Fairy could be so powerful. For she just snapped her fingers three times. and out of every hole i1 the ground, pushing hiding worms iii front of them, came other fairies. Not even a vestige of the enemies

Pratt, like his brother. is very homes was left. The fairies filled up every hole and cavern so that no other worms in the future could live there.
 Then the White Fairy called q cloud and Mrs. Worm and the hun dreds of wicked worms were cast upon it and carried away and dropped upon a great desert.
 Back to See
 The next day, zip-back into the little blue eyed girls yard, the fairies went. They found her in an ecstacy of delight. She had noticed all the worms in confusion the day before, and had run to tell her mother. of course she could not sec the fairies. nor Tot Tim.
 When they had both got into the yard, every worm was gone, and the sweet peas were dancing and the flowers blowing so happily.
 They're gone Don't you see, mamma,-every worm is gonew cried the little blue-eyed girl. There's not even a hole left. What did 1t, you reckon?"

Just as she said these words the queerest thing happened. A funny little feather came dancing right upon the breeze, straight toward him. It looked alive.
 Fairy Boat
 Tot Tim started to dodge. Then he figured that maybe the White Fairy had sent it. So he didn't do thing but jump right on top of It with both feet Then away through the wind he went. Two or three times he thought he was going to fall off, in spite of himself, but feel ing that the White Feather was evi- dcntIy being rowed by whole group of fairy sailors whom he could
