HERK wan once upon a tlm» • little black boy called Billy, lie had lived all hla abort life la a black camp with his parents and a number of other aborigines of the tribe. Billy had never been very kindly treated, and as be hud a soft heart hlmeelf he sometimes felt it very mu(,'h. Now, one.Cbristmas time, being left alone aa usual, with no presents of any sort and no treat, he began to think of all the stoiiee be bail been told about the while chiidrenra Ouiatmas and determined theu and there to find out what It was really like. Ue had heard of the Christ mas hills lu a coun try many miles off and planned to go there, belle ring from their name that' these mast contain all the mysteries of Bants Claus and other Joys from which be bad always been isolated. With a. lovln,t farewell to hla own nil a mis—the litile shelter of branches which he bad built for hlmeelf against the thunderstorm*-he set off with only a piece of opossum skiu bung round hla waist for clothing and a boomerang in hla hand. Billy Jonrneyyd for many hours over paddocks and wire fences, wading bravely through creeks, water holes and bracken undergrowth, where the snakes were very numerous and poi sonous. till he found himself in a beau tiful valley between a blue and a pur ple mouutalu. Approaching a vino- yard. be asked an old gardener where the Christmas hilla lay. M Yonder,” said the man. pointing straight In front of them toward the bine mountain. "This la Yalta glen.** The little black boy was very hot and thirsty, for tne sun had been beat ing fiercely upon him all the way alogg. so he begged a few of the round Juicy grapes which bung la rk-b profu sion on the vines. H By all means." said the good aa- lured gardener aa he picked him the largest bunch be could find, ripe and Inviting, with the bloom upon them. Billy thanked him, saying be hoped some time to be able to return hla kindness, and. taking the fruit, he con tinued his way with a light heart. As be climbed and climbed, rising higher and higher, the glen grew small er and smaller below him till be could not see the old man any more. Boon the bill became so steep and sllppary that be was forced to draw hlmeelf up from tree to tree by bolding first on to one branch and then another. Blue gum and wattles rose high above him in monotonous grandeur till he began to wonder where the Christmas trees und stockings were and bow they grew Feel ing thirsty again, he wus putting, some more grapes Into bbi mouth, when suddenly he perceived a poor old woiuuu lying on the ground, looking very faint nud ill. "Hive me some, kind youth!" she gssped. "1 have been sunatruck." “But 1 have t r a v eled many am parched with GIVE ME SOME. [SCI sL We engrave anything bought from us Free of Charge S.

"1 am dying," groaned the other fee bly. "Have pity." Whereupon, moved to sympathy, be gave her ail he had left. To bis astonishment aa abb was sat ing them she turned into a lovely fairy queen all dressed in soft, shimmery blue, the color of the sky. "Aa you have done me a service," she said, "I mean to reward you in the way you most want. You shall hava a real Australian Christmas." Billy was overjoyed and at her bid ding followed her through the bosh till they reached a wonderful gardes filled with brilliant flowers and fruit which surpassed bis wildest dreams. Straw berries grew in masses all slung the horde”*, uud the trees were Indcu with luscious ripe peaches, nectarines, figs and every orher southern fruit he bud jpver thought or heard of lu or out of season. Here they entered, and the blue fairy summoned tin other little fairies Just Billy’s own rize and age to suit upon and entertain him. They were ail lu different colors, so that e* they flitted ti In nit him lu the sunlight with their floating gowinmer gowns they looked like a raintwnv Fean the little itfirky t«oy: Give him piutylnr, fruit and toy.

Ks< b fairy"found In her share a precious stone again to match her dreos. The yellow fairy got a topa*. the heliotrope an amethyst, the bine a sapphire, and so on fill It caane to Billy, who. after eating for some time, suddenly clowd bb* white teeth .upon something very hard and. tmklhg it out and looking at It. found It was aa opal with every one of the fairy col on combined gleaming In It. All the fairies gathered round him and exclaimed. "That Is a magic opal, and the owner of It will some day become chief of bta tribe." Hearing this, be put It In hla month under hla tongue for safety, for, aa he had no clothes, of course he had no pocket. The fairies then, be had no to hang up. presented him instead, for a t 'brtstms* bog. with a new boom erang. telling him It was a charmed one. no that when ever he wanted anything be had only to throw the weapon high tnta m 00bun a nock an th«* air mid k HIM nows. would return with the object of hla choice and lay ft at hla feet Bat alas, there was a wicked little goblin peeping through from the bough of a peach tree. and. though be had not heard about or seen the boomerang, be bud caught all regarding the magic opal and had seen Billy place ft un der hla tongue. Bo when tlw little blatk boy’ had bidden goodby, thank- tug the fairies for hla Christmas feast, and started borne again be was w*/- tald in the bosh by the evil gdblln. who had followed him out of the gar den to rob him Billy refused to give up bis atone and cried for help, bui the goblin knocked him down and bent him till be lust consciousneas. Then the wicked creature forced open hla month, stole tlw magic opal nod tan away with It as fast as he could When poor Billy recovered he anon noticed that the opal was gone and gneaaed who had taken It. bat be was In despair of ever finding It again, bo. sitting miserably on the ground, be opened his mouth wide and cried long and loud But this, he soon realised was a silly, useless thing to do. Just then he spied hla boomerang, which he had quite forgotten, on the ground nearby, ami. remembering what the blue fairy had told him. be picked It up. and. Jumpipg to hla feet, he throw it skillfully high (nto the air. Away It Mwuug without touching the tree*, and. sure enough, aa the goblin, a couple of miles off. was Just admlr Ing bis plunder, the boomerang lifted It out of hla hand Rtefore hla very eyes and carried U back to tlie feet of Its rightful owner. Billy shouted for Joy. and. putting It once more In hla mouth, he took bis wonderful toy under his ana and aped down the hill. When be reached tlw vineyard be saw the gar dener still at work. so. asking him what be would moat like aa a token of gratitude for the grapes, the old man looked him op and down and h ns wend. "There la not much a little fellow like you could do for me." "I can do my bent." aaid Billy. "There la only oue thing I want," said the gardener aadly. "and that Is the little daughter I lost In the bush a year ago." No sooner said than the boomerang went whizzing through the air aa be fore. and in a few momenta It^ame floating swiftly back through the blue base with a little fair beaded child seated hap pily and aafely upon It With Joy too deep for words, the old man clasped her In hts arm*, and Billy trinm- phantly left them together and Journeyed on again over pad dock and fence till at last je found hlniaelf b*»< k In the tlack camp where Mm lit tle mia in in an.r aborigine companions were.
