tHe quiver On the broad veranda of the Children’s Hospital lay Sally Ann on her little white cot. It was very tiresome to lie perfectly stiil all day, but it was the only thing that would help the poor, twisted bac: get well. Sally Ann looked at Camille, who lay on the next cot with her arms helpless in bandages. Camille was gazing lovingly at her teddy-bear, which was tied to the foot of the cot by a pink ribbon, an.l the battered teddy-bear smiled back with all the love his shoe button eyes could express. Sally Ann often made up fairy stones to tell Camille’s teddy-bear, and when she finished, Camille would a’waj's say, “Tedda, he lika that stora vera much.” Beside Camille sat Jenny Wrenn in her wheel-chair. Jenny’s back was badly twisted and the hump between her shoulders sometimes hurt terribly. At other times, though, Jenny was very gay and amusing. She would draw funny pictures of fairies and elves for Camille and Sally Ann to make them laugh. Next to Jenny lay Captain Jim, who wore away the long hours with a little toy sailboat, which a visitor had given him. He would lie by the hour, turning the boat over and over with his thin little hands. Forgotten were the plaster cast and the weight on his hips, and Captain Jim would go a-sailing on far-away seas in his brave anJ gallant ship. June, 1921 Price, 30 Cents THE WATER-ELF

6 THE QUIVER The fifth member of the quiet, patient group was flaxen-haired Bobby—Bobby, who was almost well and who would soon be going back to the dear “Land of Mothers and Daddies and School.” He was reading nursery rhymes in a monotonous, sing-song voice, while Sally Ann lay half listening. Nursey Dear came around then to smooth pillows and to lay her cool hand on hot foreheads. When she moved away, all was quiet again. Camille lay looking at her teddy-bear, Jenny renn was not drawing, but lay back in her chair resting. Captain Jim fondled his sail-boat, and Bobby read on and on. Then, a playful, little breeze fluttered the ivy screen on the porch as if to call Sally Ann’s attention to the setting sun on the rippling waters of Blue Lake. But while she watched, the sun turned into a silver moon, and right away things began to happen. For what did Sally Ann see, but a tiny water-elf sitting on one of the ivy leaves which framed the view. He was an odd, little sprite, clothed in a pale green suit. Around his neck a huge, white ruff set off a happy, dark face. He waved gaily to the children, calling, “Follow me.” So casts and crutches and cots faded away, and all the children floated up out through the circular opening in the ivy screen, along the moonbeams, right into Luna herself, who proved to be a beautiful fairy boat. Nursey Dear, who had turned into a lovely silver fairy, floated along, too. It was Captain Jim, though, who steered the craft through the blue sky. while the other children sang songs and picked stars. “Why,” said Sally Ann to herself, “this is just like the time I picked pond lilies at Uncle Joe’s.” “Isn’t it all beautiful?” gurgled Jenny Wrenn happily, “What lovely pictures I can draw about it!” But Camille only sat still and smiled, and just hugged her teddy-bear with two loving arms. “It seems so good to hold Tedda again,” she sighed. So for hours and hours they drifted happily through the blue sky. carefree and gay, until suddenly the elf jumped up and cried, “Oh dear! Oh dear! What shall I do? I promised to bring the moon back before sunset and the stars are out now! Oh dear! What shall I do-------•?” Then the elf’s wail seemed to gather itself together and, growing more distinct, seemed to come from the direction of Bobby’s wheelchair. Finally it dissolved into a monotonous chant of nursery rhymes.
