- AVID GREEN lived on small
u farm a very short distance from
Ah { large city, and David's father
had given him plot of ground for his
owl and had said: There are many
opportunities these days, my boy, for
a farmer who lives near large city,
because he can take his produce to the
markets there and sell it with small
expense.
David planted row after row of
strawberry plants the first year, saying
to his parents: Nov that I own my
plot of ground, / am going to see if |
can make enough money out of it to
give me college education. I have
heard there is money in berries, if they
can be sold at slight expense, and be-
lieve I can sell all the strawberries |
can raise and not neglect my studies at
school"
With constant care the garden pros
pered and finally the berries were ripe.
One morning, while David was on
his way to the city with {. basket of
berries hung on his arm, he met a
lame boy, who lived in a shabby cot
tage, with no ground around it, not far
from the farm.
David" the boy cried, 1--WE been
wanting to talk to you. You know how
lame I am, and the other day. when my
mother took me to new hospital, one
of the doctors there said if my father
would buy a certain kind of shoe, which
some man in the city knows how to
make, I could walk with ease.
"My father can not afford 70 bry it
for me, but David, if you would take
me into partnership with you, | could
come to the farm every clear morning
at the break of day, and could help
you gather the vegetables and fruits and
l could carry a basketful to the city
and help you sell them; and I thought
perhaps you could pay me something
and / could have the money for my
shoe"
"I'l1 think about It and let you know"

Then the goddess gave Kari meas
ure full of seed. "Sow your land, Karl"
she ordered, "and it will bear you many
flowers as blue as these l give you'll"
Then as Karl bent low to thank her
a peal of thunder shook the mountain
and the goddess and the garden disap-
peared.
Ho.neward went Karl, but was much
surprised to see that everything about
his field seemed forlorn and neglected.
What had seemed but a few mo-
ments in the enchanted garden was in
reality whole year!
Karl set to work at once. He
p1owed up field and sowed the seed.
In due time the flowers withered and
the seed ripened, and then came Hulda
to Karl and taught him how to prepare
the flax, for it was fax the goddess
had bestowed upon them.
Then she tuaght Freda how to spin
and weave the faxen thread and how
to bleach the linen the thread had
made.
Karl became rich, as indeed did ev-
eryone in the valley, for he introduced
thI cultivation of fax.

and faster.
The little old lady sank down on q
doorstep and watched them disappear
from sight. Some of their laugh must
have gotten into her system, for as she
watched them fade from view her heart,
her eyes and her lips suddenly learned
to laugh laugh of pure relief. AS she
thought of herself, a prim little old
lady dancing down the aisle of the
church; as she remembered the sur
prised face of the old deacon who took
up the collection, as he stared at her
with his mouth hanging open, she
threw back her head and laughed a

under her pointed chin, put on her new
shoes and rustled off to church.
Everything went we'll until just be-
fore the benediction. Then the shoes,
who were, of course, on the floor IN
der the pew, saw family of little mice
come out of a hole in the corner. They
heard the mice sing squeallily out of a
hymnbook which had been dropped by
some forgetful person on the floor. This
sight so amused the shoes that they en-
tirely forgot the feet that were in them,
turned up their toes merrily and began
to dance uproariously. They danced
the poor little old lady out into the
aisle, and up and down so quickly that
she was entirely bewildered.
All the people in the church dropped
their hymn books and stared at her
in amazement. The organist in stern
disapproval glared at the poor little
soul. Up and down, back and forth, she
soul: Up ad down, back and forth, she
whirled, her proper black silk murmur-
ing in CONSERVATION. The little old
lady's face grew very pink. The tears
rolled down her cheeks. Whatever
should she do?
Finally the shoes danced her out
through the doorway of the church into
the sunshine. Holding herself still by
means of post, she managed to kick
off the wicked shoes. Dancing on
