THE LITTLE GOLD KEY.
Once upon a time there lived an
old woman who had a lazy son, but
.he watt fond of him, and when Hire
"mint! ho would not work, Instead of
punishing him .he took a little or
phan girl to live with them to do the
work
Her name was Freda, and «h«
worked In the garden and In the field
Ha well a. the hon.e.
One day the old woman wa. afraid
the hav would be wdt end .polled, .o
idle told the lazy Ron he mu.t help
them get in the h:ty, hr ,t looked like
rain "If we all work I am mire we
can .avelt," she told him
"I do not feel like working.’’ said
the lazy boy. "I,et Freda do it," he
said
But thla time hi. mother made him
go with them, and a. they went to
ward the field they met a eow that
had become entangled In Home brush.
"Let UK help that poor creatiTre,"
♦raid Freda, going toward the cow.
"I have no time to waste on a fool
ish eow ' .aid the old wamon.
"And I have no atrength. to waste
on a eow," said the lazy son
But Freda went to the eow and
pulled away the hruali and briars.
Then she led her to a stream of
water where she could get a drink.
The old woman called to her to
come quickly anil leave the cow to
gel along as best she could. "If you
don't,' she said “I shall i nnlsh you
when I get you home"
Hut Freda helped the cow and just
hh she was leaving her the cow said,
"You are . kind girl and I will re
ward you, for | am a fairy In disguise
and the old woman nml hsr son shall
lie punished so their hard-hearted
rises "
I will send the rain to destroy Hie
hay, and that will make the old wom
an unliapy and the lazy son will he
angry because he lihh to be out In

"Look behind my horn,” she said to
Freda, "and you will *e a tiny gold

When they reached home the worn

When it was dark they were still
asleep Freda went very softly to
the chimney and looked for the key_

There It was just as the fairy told
her She put In the key and a door
flew open Freda went In and It
closed, hut In her excitement she for
got the key and left It on the out

Freda walked along what seemed
to her a long road, and presently she
met a lion He spoke to her at once,
and she d,d not have time to feel
afraid
"What do you seek, lltle maid?

"The fairv gave me the key to the

replied Freda although the fairy
told me I should find my reward

"Follow me." said the Hon He led
Freda to the end or the path or mad
which semed to branch Into three dif
ferent directions
Beside one of the roads was a
river, and a queer-loking boat stood
by the hank.
"Which road will you take?" asked
the lion. "It Is for you to choose.
I can only show you the beginning "
"They all look Inviting.” sail
Freda, "hut I should like very much
lo find out where the river ends.
“(iet Into the boat," said the lion,
"and you will soon know."
"Where are the oars?" asked Freda
"You do not need oars," said the
lion, "remember the lines which 1
will tell vou and the boat will glide
along or stop as you repeal them.
" 'Awav, away, I wish to ride,
Over the water smoothly glide’
"And when you wish, to stop you
must say;
" 'I have now reached my journey s
end, ,
atop here until I further send. _
"You must not forget the lines,’
said the lion. “If you do the boat
will not start or after you have start
ed It will not stop "
Freda got into the boat and repeat
ed the sending lines.
And aw«y «ha wont in the boat,
leaving Hie lion standing on the bank.
After going quite a distance Freda
saw an Island on which was a house.
"F wonder," she thought, "If I could
get something to eat at that house.
I have not had my breakfast."
As the boat came near the island
Freda related the lines to atop the
boat.
The boat stopped dost t,o the shore
and Freda Jumped out and walked up
the path that led to the house.

possible she finally removed all the
electric light bulbs In the house and
used the gas exclusively The first
of the month following the bill came
In for electric lighting, less than the

that a certain amount is charged each

THE BERRYING PARTY.
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time the children found
that the blueberries wert ripe and they
asked mother if they could not
have a berrying party. Their mother
•aid that they could and that they i
might each ask a little friend.
Elsie was the oldest and she asked
her cousin May. John asked the boy
next door and little Janet asked his
sister. Each had a bright new pall
and a basket of lunch. They planned
to stay all day.
They had picked their pails nearly
full when Elalc said: 'T am hungry,'
and the rest all said: "So am 1." They
found a shady place under a tree and
gathered big leaves to use for platc-s
What a nice time they had. Each had
a cute little paper cup which they
filled with water from a cool spring
nearby.
After they had eaten all they could
thsy told stories and sang some of
the songs they had been taught at
school.
l.lttle Janet was tired and Elsie
said: "You lie here and take a nap
and we will finish filling the palls with
berries to take home to mother.
Janet curled up under the tree and
went fast asleep and when the rent
were ready to go home they went to
call Janet. There she was sound
asleep and cuddled up beside her was
the cutest little red squirrel that you
ever saw. It had eaten some of the
crumbs they bad left and I suppose
It was sleepy and thought that was a
good place to take a nap.
When It caught sight of the children
It ran up the tree as fast as It cedld
and crawled out on a branch and look
ed down at them with Us bright eyes.
May said: "1 guess it thought we
had gone away and left Janet and It
was going to take care of her."
They woke Janet and when they
told her who had been sleep with her
she wanted to catch it and take it
home. The little squirrel kept up in
the branches far out of reach and
looked as much as to say: "I will come
down If you are asleep but when you
wake 1 am going to scamper away."
So they had to go home without It.
How mother laughed when they told
her.
