The Forest Maiden. Long years ago, near the central part of England lived a small maiden, Sylvia, the only child of Alwyn, leader of the king's archers. All her short life she had been very happy in her wilderness castle, wandering through the shadowy galleries, climbing the winding stairs to the pigeon-besieged turrets, looking from the small paned windows, or roaming about in the dense forest which stretched down to the very gates. To be sure she seldom saw any one except her old nurse, but what of that ? Had she not the birds and hounds for companions? And whenever she coaxed, could not old Bertha tell the most wonderful tales of elves and the dryads who had lived in the very trees Sylvia saw every day, until man had come, and, robbing them of their heritage, driven them into far off glens ? But little by little a change came over the child. In the stories there were always several children, and they had such merry plays! How would it seem to play with another child? Sylvia could hardly imagine, but as Bertha told again and again, her quaint old tales, a strange longing crept into the little one's heart. Even her pet hound was neglected while the child ran away up the steep hill to the little seat that her father, on one of his rare visits, had fashioned in the giant oak crowning the summit. Here she sat by the hour, chin in her hands, looking longingly down the dim forest aisles. How I wish I had someone to play with me l she sighed. If only all the little Dryads had not been frightened away I might find one of them. Or anyway, if I could never see them, perhaps one might tell me where I could find a little girl. I wonder if I could find one if I walked and walked to the very edge of the forest. Perhaps- There is no need of taking that long journey, came a whisper so soft the child could not tell whence it came. All the Dryads could not escape, and I was left im- prisoned. I've watched you long, and now I have met you, I will show you a child in the spirit of my old-time companions. Run out into yonder glade and look all about you. Sylvia eagerly clambered down from her shaded nook and running out into the open, looked up and down, but saw no one. Suddenly she clapped her hands, f' I've found her, she cried. I've found her! Why didn't I think of you before, my little Shadow-sister ? H. F. P. 13

Although the different articles of clothing which she wore, were did not realize how marvelously she would outgrow the flower-like appearance which she must have had in infancy to have merited the name. She was stunted in size. Her narrow shoulders drooped from lack of strength to hold them up. She walked with a peculiar gait, her knees taking the lead. Her face was never placid. lt was screwed as if to glean more from the world than would be possible other- wise. When interested her lower jaw dropped, and although this added nothing to her personal appear- ?f,1FQly ance, it might have assisted her in hearing all that te was said. Her eyes were narrowed down to mere slits XXWXX and wore a perpetual quizzical expression. Her hair was dust-col- ored and dry and wispy.
