Presently something was seen to lRlide down one of the moon. -beams. In twinkling it had tumbled into the arms of a tree -top. "Pardon me," said a voice, "but I bm a Moon Fairy. I hope I didn't Image anything." I¢ "A Moon Fairy!" exclaimed the Cee -top, "why, I, have always longed to see a Moon Fairy. I :assure you Shat no carnage was 'done and you are very welcome." I "I visit the earth as often as Lady Moon will allow me," said the Fairy. "That seems (strange to • me," re- marked the Tree -top. "I'm sure it :rhist be ever iso much nicer in the Moon than down here." The .Moon Fairy shook her head sadly. "Forgive me for saying so," she k'aid, "but you are wrong in thinking it and you do the earth a grave in- stice." • F "I don't understand you," 'said the Tree -top. The Moon Fairy looked important. "Can you keep a secret?" she asked. And when the Treetop nodded, she iihispered: "The Moon herself gives )io light. It comes from the aun ..and the moon reflects it on the earth." E "Are you serious?" demanded the Tree -top. t "Quite serious," replied the Fairy. "You know how a mirror sends out ght. The Iight isn't in the mirror, is ? No; it comes from the sun. It's • actly the same with the moon. The grin sends it to the moon and the moon Sends it to us." • 1 "Perhaps I wouldn't like it up there, after all," said the Treetop. i "You wouldn't," said the Fairy. "No Plants or animals can live there." The Tree top shivered as it thought a world without Sowers and butter - es, and where, indeed, dwelt no Er- g thing. t "And now I.must be off," said the fairy- "Good-bye!" ( "Goodbye!" said the Tree -top, as it 'watched tctched the little fairy fly along the Mdoniie m. And to itself it said: "I *oust show th, woodfolk how much More grateful we should be for the beautiful joys of dear earth." Startling If True ' z7.:-.::,1 , A,....ti "...iv,' .-.'
