One day, when it was about to
close, Videvik went down to the river
with the oxen to see that they were
refreshed with the clear, sparkling
water.
xidevik was a very pretty girl, and

maiden and also her pretty image in
the water.
Down to the earth hurried the
moon and soon was making love to
the fair maiden, who was so very
willing to listen to his protestations
of affection that she forgot all about
her oxen, one of which strayed away
and was killed by fierce wolves.
And the Moon was equally forget—
ful of his duty. No light shone on
the world. lfierything was in com-
plete darkncss and great was the
confusion and distress.
In vain the. nightingale sang
aloud. "Irlle maiden, idle Videvik!"

It was quite true. for the Cornish
fairies or piskies, are much addicted
to playing practical jokes. and Tap»
raie was angry at being roused from
his sleep by the mischievous “th-
tle People." . .
"I'd like to get even with them,” he
said, "though there's little chance of
getting ahead of a piskie!"
But Tapraie was to have his chance
sooner than he expected. for on his
way home he saw a crowd of the fai-
ries sitting under the shelter or a
boat that was lying high and dry on
the beach.
One piskie had a great bag of
money, shining gold coins. and all
the other piskies sat around in a cir-
cle. each holding his hat in his out-
stretched hands.
Into each hat was pitched a gold
coin in turn. .
So, creeping quite close and keep-
_ ing his person behind the boat, he
stretchedout his hat. and thegpitcher,
.not observing that it was a strange
hat} threw coins into it the same as in
the others, until Tapraie had a good-
ly store.
"It's time to go!" thought he; "the
bagfs nearly empty!”
But he had not quite reached his
hoTise when he was discovered and
after him ran all the angry piskies.
But he reached his door and man-
aged to enter his house unharmed,
though he left his coat in the hands
of his pursuers. '

He prided himself in especial on

The hero-god looked at the ball!

at Manabozko.
"That is a singular position for I
