And if it is afl'righted?
It must have very burning thoughts

Dora standing at the door, and her
hair looked like gold and her eyes
were blue. Before this dsy he had
only loved her because she kept his
home so neat {or him. but today he
heard how sweet was her voice and
saw how lovingly she did things for
him—she hung up his hat. brought
him his slippers and placed a rose
in his buttonhole. ‘
While he ate his dinner he looked
about the room and noticed how neat
and pretty Dora had made his home.
Suddenly she asked: "Father, why
are you so happy tonight?”
He answered: "I have found a
magic pearl." and felt that when he
gave the pearl to Dora he would no
more see the blue of the sea and the
colors of the sunset I will give up
the beautiful world i have found, to
my child. he thought. and I will only
see things I saw before.
Dora‘s eyes grew large with won-
der when she took the pearl from her
father’s hand; she had never seen
such a large one before. Then they
arose from the table and went out
into a fileld. The moon had risen
and the diver said: “Tomorrow will
be‘fair!" but he noticed the sleeping
flowers in the moonlight and every-
thing seemed so still. I have given
Dora. the pearl and yet I see every-
thing alumni.
"Dora." he uked. ”do you see that
the moonlight makes the wood‘nd
fields like fairyland?"
"Yes, father," answered the little
girl.
“Have you the magic pearl in your
pocket?"
“I have." she answered.
80 the pearl diver found that his
daughter and he saw all the beauty
of the moonlight. He had given
Dora the pearl. but the good fairies
had allowed him to keep its magic.
and from that day he was the hap—
piest man in the world. because he
saw the goodness of his daughter
and the beautiful things about him.

THE GENTLEST PLANT
God created othe plants
t trees. He adorned
most of them with lovely
blossoms. The little Heather. how—
ever. did not receive that distinction.
but instead of complaining it bowed
itself meekly to the ground. Then
the plants and trees went about
choosing the places where they
would grow. The Lily chose the
meadow. The Oak selected a noble
hill. The Pine sent down roots into
the sand. and so on until they found
places. and finally the earth was
covered with their beauty. Only one
spot was slighted. and that was a -
'Uttlo Heather. for the love thou but the loveliest small red flower, andto when it 31'3" 039?“! to 81159 the

but they would not listen.
Then the gentle little
said:
" f you wish it. Barren Hillside. I
will come clothe you.”
And the Barren Hillside was very.
very happy. for without delay the
little Heather lovingly rooted itself in
the thin soil among the rocks. and
soon.the entire bill was covered in
lovely green.
