So saying, he turned to his fate. Lifting his hand so- that W all might see, he displayed the four-fold contents and when they- had I seen, his voice again fell on the quiet air: iiThisf, said he, holding the glowing bit aloft, iiis that which is known among men as the Garnet and to which the gods have imparted the power of constancy. To him that wears this stone, hdelity is as a guiding star. i - . ' iiHere glows the light of wisdom? continued he, taking up the second. iiMen call it the Sapphire, and fail to realize that its presence is incentive to the solution of Lifeis problems. tiBut these two I cannot call in half the sweetness of themselves? and his slender hand trembled. iiMen use them roughly and scar their delicacy with neglect-Diamond, the herald of innocence, and Opal, her twin-sister of hope. Blessed is he whose heart hath read their message? Having finished, he fell silent, and stood before the King, awaiting his answer. And the old man turned to him with a face that was wet with tears, and whose voice, in his happiness, had failed his power of speech; But the Princess, having listened all this while, with no glance for the speaker, slowly lifted her eyes, and her heart sang happily in the sunshine of his gaze. With a little gesture, half-timid yet wholly unresisting, she held out her hands in Surrender. Whereupon, there rose a mighty shout of triumph, which burst from the hearts of thou? sands and swept across the country, echoing from hill to. dale, and through the woodlands to the sea, till exulting, it returned to its 'source, where those two knelt before their Liege, and felt on their x bended heads, his shaken touch of blessing. CAMILLA RINGHOUSE. My ZHairglanh The door to fairyland is the sunset, for I have been there and I know. There, I can travel over magnificent plains which are dotted and fringed with trees and flowers of such beautiful hues and tints as are never seen on earth, and, on which the fairies and their pets gamb-ol --those little bright lights which we call sunbeams. Then there is a gorgeous hall, that is known to mortals as the ocean. It is the main palace, and has not its equal. Its emerald Hoor is one perfect sheet of transparency on which the dancers, attired in shimmering, golden garments, assume the most fantastic shapes, while the king gazes on them. The king is called the sun, who is ever and anon changing his beautiful robes, each more gorgeous than the last in hue, and the walls of this wonderful hall Hash back the royal tints. As long as he condescends to visit the palace, the golden fairies dance around his throne! When he disappears all fairyland closes itself to mortals, leaving them in darkness, for the sun has set. i ADELE BRAULT.

THE CARDINAL Page eighteen Somewhat apart sat the aged monarch and his lovely daughter, and at his right hand on a glided support stood the casket whereln lay the fatal gems. Before this place, according to the decree, were to pass the competitors, each in histurn, and as they paused before the royal dais, to lift the glowing stones and give thelr names. . With a hourish of trumpets, the herald lifted up 1118 V01ce and calied for the contest to begin. Whereupon, the first of the long processmn stepped forth and gave up his answer. iiSireF spoke he, in a manner straightforward and fuli honest, til am but a simple man of simple thought, and in this prec10us heap I see but a garnet, a diamond, a sapphire and an opal. May my hazard prove felicitous 1,, ' With these words he fell back to his place. But the 01d King shook his head, and the expression on his face was most sorrowful, for . he loved the young fellow who had spoken, and put great faith in his ability. Then after the first came the second: and third, and following them many others. Divers and strange were the replies they proffered, each more curious than the last. Long, foreign appellations did they suggest, never heard- in this sensible world, before or after; but i31- Vain. One by one they retired, thwarted and outdone, for to one and all, the aged Hwar shook his head, and refused the recognition that would make their success. Now the waiting people began to stir among themselves and to grow restless, as if they felt the apparent hopelessness of the situation and chafed beneath its restraint. .At last, not a competitor remained in the field, and the monarch, raising his heavy head, saw that they two sat alone, with the great assemblage confronting them and awaiting his will. With an effort he lifted up his feeble voice, and spoke in trem- bling accents: ' t iiO-ut of this throng? spake he, iican no man see truly? Oh, my people, my dear people, cannot ye fathom my message? Will my be- loyed crown rest on a foreign head? Let every man see for himself and think clearlyV ' Thereupon, he held aloft the casket so that the sun caught the con- tents 1n a thousand fiashmgs, that dazzled the eyes of the beholders well nigh to blindness, and again being lowered, dropped back into shadow. In the pause that followed, a solitary iigure arose from the rear of the audience and, amid the deepest silence, came slowly for rivaard. di or at:1 instfant nlone recognized him, but when he reached the H M513; 1t . - it was he whom they called a Poet and a Philosopher, and known throughout the realm for his acts of com- passmn and the kindness of his heart. Now, as their eyes rested u on him, a grateful cry broke from their throats. But the P1;i1050 lief seemed not to heed this tribute to his name. Instead he lifted his Ieyes to the eternal hills that p11ed up in pale blue outline against the western s ; whence, after a whil , ' . fghion: e, his gaze returned, and he spoke after 1-1115

THE CARDINAL Paige twenty Eh? $arreh 1mg nf murzhurg HIS is the tale of the sacred pig of Wurzburg. It is a tale of sadness and of woe. In a year, now long p-ast,.the brave King of Bavaria, with an army of stalwart patriots, was marching to the siege of Frankfort. Now it hap- pened that one black, stormy night the legions lay camped on the skirts of Wurzburg. The howling of the tempests cast a gloom over all. Fires smouldered in the early night; troopers turned in to escape the elements, and even the King was snoring long before his usual time. ' Along toward midnight a little black pig chancedto be wandering near. Guided by the hand of the' gods, perhaps, perhaps by theisavor of the grub, he sauntered through the slumbering camp answering with a begrudged grunt when accidentally Challenged by an over vigi- lant sentinel. Nearing the Kings tent, and seeing the chance of a lifetime, he entered to pay his respects to royalty, as behoo'ved all good Dutchmen. He was having rather a gay time pilfering the Kings pockets when he accidentally jabbed his foot into the wide opened mouth of his snoring Majesty. The King was a bit surprised, to tell the truth, thinking that the enemy had pierced him through. Jumping to his feet, he began p-arrying with his assailant. Itwas a moment or so before his eyes became accustomed to the dark. When he beheld little piggy grunting among his bedclothes, he roared with anger and ' vowed revenge. Seizing a cutlass, he hurled himself upon the enemy. Aroused by the squealing of the pig and the raging 0f the King, the entire camp was rushing to the scene of the encounter. Too late, alas! too late! For the pig was somewhat of a soldier himself. After re- treating and countermarching several times, the dodged under the legs of the King and out through the door of the tent. Furious at the maneuver, His Majesty dashed in pursuit. But 10! No more had he stepped beyond the opening than an awful Hash lit up the sky and a bolt of lightning demolished the regal can- vas. The King fell on his knees in awe and swore the gods were just and they all blessed the pig that saved the King of Bavaria. - i . In the morn, under a heavy escort of Blue Blood, Kickenspichen- nickel t1. .e., piggyy was brought into the city of Wurzburg. A royal proclamation declared him sacred. The freedom of the City was his through the rest of his natural life. . Any citizen speaking aught but kindness of him should be banished from Bavaria. Woe unto the cul- prit that injured a hair of his head; woe unto Wurzburg if the man- date were not obeyed! .The Elders assembled and voted a princely sum for the immediate erection of a magnificent pigsty for His Highness Kickenspichennickel. Groorns, stewards and servants were provided in profusion All dogs and like c1tizens were driven from the city. . .IM . ayusawapiww f' '9 '1. 1551'; 'd.
