THE FAIRY TALE By AGNES GRAHAM BROGAN. lly. i9zi. v. enern Nownpapcr Union.) far buck In the shadows sat Goldi locks, and the little brown nursemaid. Goldilocks had been known as Miss Miriam Sturtevunt before the Joyful exchange of her attendants was made. And the In own nursemaid was not brown at all as to face, but Just a curious autumn loaf sort of person, with leaf-brown luiV and darker brown eyes and crimson-leaf coloring. A luiPPJ't cheery companion, who changed miraculously Mirlum'svprosy routine of days Into n fairyland existence. And who suceoodad where the former dic tatorial custodians had fulled In quell ing the child's self-Importance and banishing her gloom. Miriam Was well aware of the Interost she occa sioned ns heiress, aware too, of the awe with which Miss Palmer had re gurded her .upon this account. The new little Ursula Brown, who dubbed herself the brown nursemaid, had no regard for money nt all. It was just a necessity, she said, and one need not be proud of Us, possession because It couldn't buy happiness. It was all purt of the game of grow ing tlmt the Goldilocks und the brown n?ald played together. Life was no longer dull In Uncle Roger's big house. Uncle Roger wits Daddy's bachelor brother, who had become her guardlun, and guardian, too, of the fortune which he and she alone shared. Mlrlum hnd been a problem to Uncle Roger, until Ursula came. Ursula drifted In most fortunately one morning when Miss Palmer and Uncle Roger were having a row, be cause returning home unexpectedly at u very lute hour the night before, he hud found his niece deserted. Miss Palmer locking the nursery door be hind her, had gone on to some uinuse ineut of her own. Ursulu Brown stop ping to see If Miss Miriam Sturtevunt might not possibly require a muslcul Instructress, was moved to apply for Miss Palmer's position Instead, and re ceived It. Things had gone smoothly since then. Uncle Roger wus unpleasantly sur prised when she refused to awnken Miriam late In the evening, that she mlghjt help.him while away an hour of boredom. "1 might be able to please you with a song," said the young woman. .She did; Roger, listening, wondered all at once concerning this young wom an's past hor-home life, how sheihad happened to come to them.. But when he eagerly requested another snug, she as firmly refused, us sho bud refined Miriam's coming,' and passed swiftly hn up to her own quarters.' Women more beautiful than this quiet little attendant had' fought his liiiiipiiny ; young Women whose', favor one might be proud to w.ltt. JJut, like Goldilocks, Rogi'i; was tinder -the fairy charm. What jipe'll' did she weave, this Mlont purveyor of happiness? "You know," Goldilocks told him, during one of their confidential talks, "'he brown nuild came, out from a green eippty Wood to seek her fortune. She bus told me nil about It. The wood was green with memories, you see, of those who hud lived with her there her family. And It was empty, be cause they had gone away forever. "So she climbed the steep hid, which was really just our main street, and Mie could find no fortune there. So she came on and on, to the top of the mountain, which Is our. own beautiful avenue. And at the top was the ens tie our bouse, Uncle Rogir with me, the Princess Goldilocks just needing to be cured for. So the brown maid of the wood stayed on at the castle." Roger Sturtevunt smiled as be sunk buck among tho couelPeuMilons. "1 see." be said. When Ursula camo hurriedly to put her charge to bed, she passed by the couch till unseeing, following Mlrlum to the fur shadowy corner. So they sat together, tho brown iiursemald mid Goldilocks. "Tell me," begged the child, "the rest of the story of the maid of the wood, Ursula. Did she go on living for ever in tho cnstlo at the top of the hill, or did a handsome prince come to carry her away? Was there no prince at all In the castle on the hill," asked the child disappointedly. Roger could hear the girl's breuth catch In a little broken laugh. "Yes, there was a prince," she an swered, holding Mlrlnm close, "a reully wonderful prince, who had traveled many lathis and whoso pockets were tilled with gold. .Many beautiful prin cesses sought to become his bride, for ho was good and true, as he was hand some. Even the old servants loved him, and he was as ,gentlo as a mother to rne little girl. It was but natural then, that he should also seek to be kind to the poor maid of the wood. Good-night Goldilocks," the voice end ed abruptly. Why," said tho child, "why Ursulu, there are tears on your cheek." Behind the two came quickly a man's full figure. Uncle Roger, bend ing, kissed tenderly his own small niece, then more tenderly, the other." "I will finish the stry," he said. "This prince fellow wl lolled around with bis pockets full ot gold that nev er would buy anything he renlly want ed, came to love, us It happened, this sttoet woodland nuiJtJLwlth a lovo that now could let hof go, und so." Ills eyes sought Ursula's. He begged her to stay ut tho castlo forever. "Did sho promlso to stay," drowsily Qd tho child. 'Prqver. Ursula eofUy answered. tSELLS-FLOTO CIRCUS WILL UK IN NORTH PLATTE AUGUST THIRTEENTH. This Is tho way tho advertizing man tells about tho big show: Sells-Floto's coming!
