There was once a littlo girl who had careless fingers. Of course they did not really mean to be careless, but they were always losing hor hair ribbons, and forgetting to button her frocks, and leaving the dolls out in the garden all night. One morning the little Kill's fairv godmother came into the playroom. There had been a party in the doll house the day before, and the little girl had not washed the plates and teacups or brushed the crumbs from the floor. The little girl's pet kitten was playing with some tangled hair ribbonB, and the girl herself sat . by the window in a mussed up frock and her hair was not combed. "Now, my dear, this will never do," said the fairy godmother. "You*must go out and find five fairies to help you keep tidy. Run along, and mind you don't come home without them!" "But I don't know which way to go," said the child, beginning to cry. "You must find your way," said the fairy godmother, "and the five fairies will know you if you do not know them." So the child put on her hat and started out to try to find five little fairies who would help her to keep tidy. Well, the child wont up and down i.he streets and the highways, peeping through the keyholes and into all the corners, hut not a fairy did she see. 'There were only plain, ordinary, real folks about. So the child went farther still, across the meadows and down a hill, until she came to a path In a deep,- dark forest. On and on she went, until she humped right into a queer little red house under the trees. At the door of the house sat a fat little man in a red cap, spinning. Jane stopped and bowed very politely. "PlnflRP fiir '' ulio onl/1 tell me where I shall llnd live fairies?" v, Th6 iittle man never said a word. He just went right on sewing so fast that his needle broke and his thread knotted. "Oh, that isn't the way to sew," said the child. "You should he careful and not pull the thread so hard." "Well, suppose you had one dozen pinafores and two dozen pairs of knickerbockers and three dozen blouses to finish before sunset," said the little man, crossly. The child looked, and there were the pinafores and the knickerbockni-u oiwl Ihn ..II ? vi p ituvi me i/iuuoco, till UUl Ollt tlllU piled in the doorway. "Why, I'll help you finish them," she said. So the child and the fat little man just sewed and sewed and sewed. When the last blouse was done, the little man looked up. "You might go a bit farther on," ho said, "to where my brother sits on the turnstile. Perhaps he has seen some fairies." So the child wont a little farther through the forest, and she came to a turnstile. There on tho top sat u secOlid little man. Mn wn? rlroacoH 111 I green from head to foot, and lie had his arms spread out very wide to show which way the roads went. "Please, sir," Bald Jane, politely, "can yon tell me where I can find five fairies?" Bnt the little man did not answer. "I've been out here for days and days," he said, pointing to the roads, "and I haven't been able to get down once. Look at my face and hair and my dusty coat." "Why, you poor little thing!" said the child. ".Inst wait a moment and I'll tidy you a bit." So she took her pocket handkerchief and dusted off the little man's coat. She Binoothed his hair, m nd she brought somo water from the brook in the palm of her hand and washed his face. "There, you look mil*h better," she said. "J feel better," said tho little pointing man, "but I haven't seen any fairies. You might ask my tall brother at the fork of the roads if bo's 8oen any. is just a little way Ahead there, looking for his cap." So the child went down the road, and, just where the little pointing man had told her, she saw j third little man, much taller than tho oth firs, but not very big at that, lie wan down on hta hands and knees, looking in the grass and under tho bushes. "Pins and needles! Oh, my pins and necfll~?!" ho was saying over and over to himself, "What will Thumbkin say if I don't find my cap?" "is this your cap?" asked Jnne, as she picked up a little round silver thing from under a leaf. It looked like nothing so much as a thimble, but the tall little man clapped It on his head and scampered away through the forest as fast as his legs could carry him. Ah he ran, ho called back: "No, I haven't seen any fairies, miii. periiepa my sisier nan. Hhe la mixing cake on a toadstool over there. 'You will know her because sho wears a gold ring about her neck," and the little inAn hurried on. So the child looked about for a toadstool. Presontly sho splod one standing tall and straight like a real table, Beside It was the daintiest lit .... , ^ tie lady that ever was, In a littlo piufc dress tl)at had short sleeves, and wearing a gold ring- about her neck She had an acorn bowl, and ahe waf stlrrliig very fast with a maple leal for a spoon. "Please, have you seen live falr> ies?" asked the little girl. iimiu me tuat augur,'' said tlic little lady. "That's right. Now pul a gill of rose water and an ounce ol dew and a measure of honey In. Now beat It well until 1 tell you to stop and then, If you are a good child? and you look very sweet, if your frock is unbuttoned and your hair is mussy ?you may wash all my dishes." When Jane had stirred the cakc until her arms ached, and then washed the dishes in the spring, the little lady said: "You asked me about fairies. Suppose you ask the baby. I put her tc sleep over there in the hummingbird's nest, but she's awake now. Per napB she lias seen a fairy. Babies dc sometimes, you know." The little girl peeped in a wee humming-bird's nest that hung on a tree close by, and there she spied the little lady's baby. Such a dear baby, no longer than Jane's tiniest finger, but as pretty as the prettiest doll! Her dress was spun of gossamer spider webs, and her cap was of frosi lace, and her cheeks were as pink at rose petals, and her eyes were as blue as the blue of the sky. "Oh, you dear little thing," cried the little girl, taking the baby up iti her hand. "You look liko a fair> yourself!" The baby laughed, a tinkling little laugh that sounded like bells. Jane looked?and what do you think had liannened? Thorp worn n right in her hand! There was fat Thumbkln, with Pointer standing very straight jnst behind him. There stood Tall Man in his thimble cap, There was the little lady in her gold ring. I>ast of all, there was the deai baby, so pink and sweet. "Run home, little girl," they al cried. "You helped lis, and we arc going to help you now." So the child went homo to her fairj godmother with her hand full of fairies; and the ftve?Thumbkln and Pointer and Tall Man and the little Ring Lady and the Baby?helped the child all the rest of lior life.?Carolyi S.
