Three passes he made over the stream, and lo! the woods was filled with knights and hunters and yeomen who had been turned into fishes by the sprrte. While they crowded about aieriin. bowing low to thank him for their de liverance, the sprite slipped into the stream and became part of it, thinking to hide from the wizard. Merlin only laughed and held out his wand over the stream again, saying, "Thus will I pun ish you, O wicked sprite! No more snail you come forth in human shape, but shall be only the voice of your brook singing in the forest." The sprite tried to beg for mercy and to sing, thinking her voice might charm him into letting her go, but those standing by heard only the brook babbling and splashing over its rocus. But the sprite is still in tfte water. In the Summer days you hear her sing ing over the pebbles. Perhaps some night when the wind roars in the big trees and the flames in the black throat of the chimney makes the whole room rosy, while the apples sputter and the chestnuts pop in the ashes, if you will DUt the little brass kettle on the hob as it bubbles you may hear the soft crooning of the imprisoned sprite. fThen If you watch the shiny spout closely you will see in the steam tnat curls upward the mighty figure of the sprite as she hurries back to her brook. (Copyright, iie, my me jucuiure Newspaper Syndicate. New York City.) By Mrs E A.&lker. I The Sing-ins Sprite. N THE very heart of the great forest there lived, in the far-away days, a beautiful water sprite. The brook that was her home flowed very deep and clear, but if the wandering knight or adventurer, lured by the sound of her wonderful voice, came near and drank, lie was changed to a fish. All day long she sat in her cool cave weaving flowers in her pale, gold hair, and at night she floated out upon the stream and the stars swung low to listen to her singing. About her In the water green and silver and blue glittered the enchanted fish. One night, as she sang- and plucked the great white lilies in the dark pool below the foaming cascades, the little breezes whispered to one another in the tree tops that the queen of all the fairies was surely not more beautiful. There came a crash of footsteps in the forest stillness, and through the fra grant bushes that fringed her stream came the adventurer. The sprite's sweet caroling ceased when she saw that it was only a gray old man. bent with years, who came forth into the moonlight. The water lilies dropped from her band and floated away as she sang a low, sweet note that called up her fishes. "Come." cried the old man. "1 am weary, let . me rest in your cave, under the falls. Sing to me, give me to driuk from your bright stream." "Why. you would not make even a good fish or eel. old man." she laughed, and went on teasing the fishes. Then the eld man, who was none other than the great Merlin, the wizard, jvh,o bad heard of the sprite's wicked- Good Tilings In The Market THE snow has barely gone, before Oregon is to the front with garden truck.

We ask every weak, run-down per son in Portland to try our Vinol, with the understanding that their money will be returned if it does not re-establish their health. Letters like the following give us confidence: "I am in the millinery business and on my feet most of the time. I got so weak and run-down that I lost my appetite and was unable to sleep, had a severe chronic cold and lost my color. I learned about Vinol through a friend, and within three weeks after taking it I noticed an improve, er.t, and soon gained in weight, health and strength. I am recommending Vinol to my friends and they also speak highly, of it." Catherine Hoar, West Chester, N. Y. In hundreds of cases where old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions have failed to restore strength and health, Vinol has succeeded, because while it contains all the curatives they do, its good work is not retarded by useless grease and oil. The Owl Drug Co., Portland. Oregon. P. S. In your own town, wherever you live, there is a Vinol Drugstore.
