The Strang-e Story of the Children ami
the Water lily Fairy
IT was away down in
the Southland, near to
a great swamp; near
enough to have it said
that there was a great
swamp in their vicinity
and that in that swamp
1 a n d roamed strange
phantoms maybe
ghosts, maybe spirits. It was old Aunt
Nanny who told them this story of the
ghosts or spirits. Their mother and father
had never said anything so ridiculous.
But you all know how superstitious the
good old darkies of the South are.
Well, the ''they" we are telling about
were Paul and Janey Downs, aged re
spectively nine and seven. And they
had lived their short lives in that one
place, their home of hundreds of broad
acres.
swamp? Maybe a " Aunt Nanny
looked about cautiously "maybe a a
spirit. Be careful, honey chile. Keep
clost to Daddy."
Then Paul was off on the run. And
he was late getting home that afternoon.
He saw Janey playing in the kitchen
garden and ran to her. "Oh, sister," he
cried, "I saw some water-lilies. Don't
you recollect that Aunty Nan said there
were always fairies where the water-lilies
grow? I would have stayed close to one
and called three times, 'Fairy, fairy,
fairy, come forth to me !' But I wasn't
alone a second so couldn't do it."
Janey was all attention. "Are the
water-lilies far from here?" she asked.
"Maybe we might go to them alone!
See, it is early yet the sun is quite high.
Could we go and see the water-lilies, and
return before supper time?"
Paul's face Hushed with anticipation.
"Say, sister, that's a good idea," he said.
FIND WHO THE OFFICER IS THINKING ABOUT.
One day in early spring Paul had a
strenuous day for so young a fellow.
He had first had his lessons in the
nursery, and governess had said he was
"doing finely" with his arithmetic and
that she would excuse him from spelling
that forenoon so that he might go with
uncle and daddy to the swamp. Mr.
Downs and his brother Frank (the latter
made his home with his married brother)
had decided to go over to the edge of the
swamp to see about some drain ditches
which were being dug.
As Paul ran down stairs he passed
Aunt Nanny in the hall. "Oh, Aunty
Nan," he said in a whisper, "I'm going
to the swamp with Daddy. Do you
s'pose I'll see anything ? " His
eyes were very wide and he looked ex
pectant. "Lor's bless us, honey ! Who can tell
what a pussen.will see ober by dat
"I know exactly how to go. Let's ask
Aunty Nan about how to get the fairies.
But not a word to her about our going,
mind."
"Oh, not a word, brother." And Janey
shook her head. Then they went to the
summer kitchen where Aunt Nanny was
at work. "Say, Aunty Nan, tell us how
one might get the fairies to come out of
the water-lilies in the swamp," begged
Paul. And he and Janey sat upon the
doorstep.
"Haw! haw' haw! honey chilluns,"
laughed Aunt Nanny, "you alls jest have
to go clost to the pretty water-lilies an'
squat on de bank an' say, whisperin' like,
'Come out, you darlin' fairy ! Come out,
you darlin' fairy ! Come out you darlin' !'
An' pretty soon you alls'll see the water
lily move. Den up pops de fairy, sho'
an' certain ! Dat's all der is to it, chilluns."
