OXCE upon a time there lived a beau tiful Princess whose father's country extended from one ocean to the other. It was full of happy people. but the King was very sad. And the reason was that bis only child, the Princess, was so delicate that it was impossible for her even to walk. All day long she lay In a bed of soft est silk on a mattress of pillows stuffed with swan's down. But still she did nothing but moan. ' for the touch of even the sofest thins seemed to hurt her. Tbe poor King was almost wild with worry and the Queen grew - so gray that all the hairdressers in the kingdom could not keep her curls brown. Cecil was a poos boy who worked about the gardens. Ue had seen the Princess and felt very sorry for her as he worked over his nowers. All day he hoed and weeded and so fond was he of the plants' that he sometimes lm- of the committee. Professor L. R.

One day he saw growing a very strange plant which he had never seen before. Its stem was of silver, its leaves of sold and on top was a tiny cup of pearl filled with what seemed a sweet dew. So, without thinking, the boy plucked the bloom and drank the dew. It had an odd effect, for as soon as he had swallowed it he found he could hear everything going on around him the grass growing, the leaves sighing and GIFTED MATKOV TO PABTICI.

As Cecil went about his work he saw that another plant was covered with spiderywebs, so he got his broom and was about to brush the web away when the mother spider came running ant from under a leaf. "Oh! what shall I do?" she cried and Cecil knew every word she said. "That great man Is going to destroy my home and my babies." "Oh. no." said Cecil, laying down the broom. "I will not touch you at all." "How can I thank you?" tremblingly asked the mother spider. Cecil laughed, but a funny thought popped into his head. ' "There is only one thing In the world I wish." he replied. "And that is some thing which could cure the Princess. But of course, that is not in your power." "Maybe it Is," replied the spider. "No one ever understood how to talk to us before. .' But we spiders have talked it over and we learned that up In the great White Vine is a golden spider, who spins a golden web so line that It can hardly be seen. Tbe only way to reach this vine is to get on a log which is drifting down the Black Whirlpool, and the current will drag you down under the banks till you float far un der the shore. About a mile away from the pool is the vine hanging over the water and there you will see a golden web stretching away tor 10 miles." Without waiting a moment Cecil ran as fast as his legs could carry him to where a black stream of water whirled around and around at a dizzy rate. Logs were floating by and disappear ing, but no one had ever ventured into its depth. Cecil Jumped on a tree trunk as it swe-pt by and in a moment was carried swiftly down the whirlpool and under the bank. It was dark and the roar of the water almost deafened him, but he clung desperately to the log. which at last swept under a great white vine. Over the vine was a misty, golden web which seemed to reach to the ends of the earth. Cecil reached un and nulled it to- ward him till he had an armful of "its lustrous folds, then the log went plung ing on, and at last raced out of the stream and into a river, across which it peacefully floated. The boy looked about mnd nund hn was at the edge Of his own Eardt-n. As the log touched the shore he stepped off and ran to the castle. All the rnnrtlers crowded about him and Based in wonder at the beautiful web of gold which gleamed in his arms. It is for the Princess." ne pamou. Wrap her in it it will make her well. So the court chamberlain seized the ,-eb. ran to the bed of the Princess and wrapped Its shining mesh around her. it was u dfliciouslv soft that she smiled in delight. In another momeni she rose to her feet and stood up. very well and laughing. I have always said I would marry the one who would cure me, she saio. as Cecil stood before her and iinished rb of hi adventure. "You have Risked your life for me and brought me healtn. row you snau 00 band.' So Cecil and the Princess were mar ried and when the old King died tney ruled their happy country for long. long years.
