Little Andeva stood in the big stone itchen of the old Dame Gregon mixlg a huge cake. As she worked she mged and longed to be as happy and :ee as other little girls, for she was n orphan, working for her "board uu uvu u.L me oia uame uregon's astle. And the old Dame Gregon as a hard mistress, domineering and ruel, and she had no mercy on the ttle Andeva. When little Andeva first went to Id Dame Gregon's castle, In the lountains, she was taught to make ery fine light, sweet cake, a certain ind which the old dame was very and of. And every day little Andeva ^as obliged to bake half a dozen akes for the old mistress of the astle and her household of grown aughters and sons and daughters-iniw and sons-in-law, and the little irl often became very tired and anged and longed to be free to go own the mountainside to play with he happy peasant children from the urrounding gardens and villages, tut never had she the time to play, ven if she had had little comrades a join in her pastime. She was kept ery busy all day long baking flue weet cakes for the dame and her ousehold. And on the day of which I speak he was very busy and also very lone7 and unhappy. She was mixing in huge bowl the ingredients for a ake, and as she stirred and sifted nd beat the things together the ough began suddenly to rise from he bowl into a white frothy mounain. Little Andeva was greatly surrised, for always before it had taken he heat from the great even to cause he dough to rise, and even then it ad never risen .to such a height. "What can be the matter with my ough?" she asked herself. "Have I ut in too much yeast? But even had done so, it would not rise so quickly nd go so high in the air." "No, little girl, you have mixed our cake dough after tho right ecipe," said a voice near to Andeva's lbow. "You are not to blame for the ctlon of the dough. I am responsile for it." Andeva turned about to see a fairy tanding beside her. She was so auch astonished that she could not peak for a minute and stood staring t the beautiful creature beside her. "I know how unhappy you are, tttle Andeva," said the fairy, "and have come to take you to a happy ome, where other children will welome you. And this cake dough, - hich, you will observe, is turning ery hard, will lift its way through he roof of this stone kitchen, and by nd by it will ascend to the clouds, 'rom there our way is safe?once out f reach of this castle." "Oh, good fairy! Are you speakng truly, or am I but dreaming?" ried little Andeva. "The moment is real and not a ream," said the fairy. "And now re will ascend to the roof, and from here to the clouds, and then we will o on and on until we reach a land ar from here, and there you will nd a happy home." As the fairv skIH fhto cV>o indeva's hand, and together they limbed to the roof of the stone kitchn by the great pile of dougb, which ad turned to a substance as hard as ocks. As there- were little steps armed in the sides of the hard dougb tio effort of going up was not very iffloult, and soon Andeva found herelf out of the kitchen and In fresh lr. Then a strange thing happened, nd a most happy thing. Andeva was Hi to a dear little wicket gate whieh >d into a beautiful yard full of flowrs and tall trees, and there, in the ildst of this beauty, stood a white tone cottago with gay windows full f (lowers. "Go In and tap at the oor, little Andeva, and you. will find our journey at an end. also your -orries and unhappiness," said the ilry. / Little Andeva dkl as instructed, nd her tap at th? door was ancwared SEBSKOHESm K 1 W A m Y Iff by.a sweet-faced lady, who ?as cm FN n A lag very cordially.

A TABLE FOR BIRDS. Q ."Mamma, it makes mc so angry at _ the nasty dogs and cats," cried little ^ Nellie, as she came in one cold mornlng. "I sweep away the snow for thebirdies to get their crumbs, and tlion some old cat or dog comes along and scares then all away. They aren't. ^ uuugry at an, tne mean tuings, tor Sarah feeds them, but they just like _ to frighten the poor birdies," writes Helen Richmond, in the Sunday- ' _ School Times. "Yes, and it keeps us all play time watching the food," said Rob. "I 9 never get to coast a bit with my uow _ sled since the snow came. T don't V want the birds to starve, but it's hard to lose all the play time." "Well," said Mrs. Anderson, "my ^ little boy and girl must put their wits C to work to think up a good way to ^ feed the birds without any danger * from cats and dogs. I think you will j easily solve the problem if you work " a little while.- You see, if you could j put the food where the cats and dogs 1 and chickens can not reach it, you j would have plenty of play time and " the birds would not bo frightened." A The children thought about it all ^ that day and at night dreamed of feeding the birds and driving away *3 wild animals from the little snowcleared patch. "I don't know of a thing unless I climb up on the wood- ^3 house roof with the food," said ltobr ,JC| as he was starting to school. "And even up there the cats would get it.'* _ "I've thought of that, too," said 4|j Nellie, "but it; won't do.

It is rather an odd table, but the guests will not complain." 4 Perhaps you have guessed that Nel- j .lie and Rob tied pieces of bread and meat to bits of twine, and hung then* In the tree out of reach of the catw * ft and dogs.
