The counter was marble, white and cold as snow; the awning were of blue silk with broad silver stripes, and the old man him self was the oddest sight ever seen, with a white beard that reached his feet and a long black robe embroid ered with gold. Royal oranges were piled up on his counter, purple grapes, clear, sweet white ones; bunches of scarlet cherries, red ap ples, downy peaches, luscious pears; ripe, rich strawberries, thimble shaped blackberries; in short, every kind of fi-nit in the world was there. Everybody stopped and bought, from the king himself to the little pink pages, till left, but theaa were the largest and finest ever seen. Then the old man began to cry out, "Who'll buy? These are fairy apples out of Queen Lilla's orchard, and whoever gets them will get wisdom with them, but neither gold, silver nor diamonds can buy them!" The crowd grew still greater, for everybody said to everybody else, "Gome and see three apples that all the diamonds iu King Cathcemar's court can't buy." And every one talked and wondered till at last some one thought to ask what would buy the apples. "Little enough," said the old mac . "Whoever will go to the fountain in the middle of yonder forest an d say, 'Token broken' 20 times will have the apples and wisdom with them." " What stuff I" said somebody. Don't say it, then," answered the old man. ' Fairy apples needn't go a begging." But the crowd hung back and looked e-t each other, for there were odd stories about the old forest on the left of the city, and peo pie. were not fond of walking in it. At last stepped out Lord Martinus, nephew to the king, and cried: "It will go for the fairy apples, and if I win them I will give them to the princess." And mounting his horse, he rode gaily away to the forest, but on the very entrance his horse tumbled and broke his neck, and as it is an ill omen to go back Lord Mar tlnus went forward on foot. Before long he met a lovely child. "Where are you going, my pretty one?" asked the Lord Martin us, "To pick fairy apples that grow so thick In an orchard close by that the branches break under them," answer ed the babe. "I will go with you," said Lord Martinus. So the obild led the way and the young lord followed till he was faint and weary. "Do you call this close by pretty one7"aldheat last. "There they are," said the child, pointing to trees full of golden pip pin, SO times larger and finer than those at the fair, bat hardly had Jord Martinus raised his band to pick one when all the bough began to whip him, and though he was th fastest runner In all King Cathce mar's kingdom, a sorry wight was the gay Lord Martinus before he got oat of the orchard, with bis vtltet robe torn to pieces and his eyes al most scratched out of his head. "Bin' ne went on till ne met a young girl. "Where are you going, fair one?" cried he again. "To court," said the girl, to give this skein of silver thread to the princess, if I can only find some one who will hold it while I wind it in a ball." "I will hold it," said Lord Martinue, seeing that it was but a little skein. but the longer she wound the larger it grew, till at length it was dark. Then Lord Martinus found that he could not stir, for she had woven all the thread in a net and the net was around him. There he lay till morn- ing, when he looked about him jo! ho was in the midst of the fair in front of the old man's booth and evt eryone were laughing at him. Thn Lord Schurz spoke up. "I will go for the apples," said he, and rode gayly away, but the next morning there was he in a silver net in the midst of th'e te.lv. And it was Lord Martinus' turn to laugh. Out stepped little Garl, one of the pages. "I will go," cried he, and though everybody tried to hold him back went off as lightly as the two lords had done. Before loug he met a child, who said to him: "Come and p!ck my fairy apples." But Garl only answered, "I want no stolen fruit," and trudged on. Then he met a maiden. "Help me to wind this skein," said she. But Carl replied: "I have no time, fair damsel," and went on. Presently he heard water gurgling and saw the fountain falling like dia monds in the cool sunlight. Standing on the bank he com menced to say: "Token broken" 20 times, but at the first sound all the trees were filled tin goblets that clashed and clattered against one another and cried out, "Take me and drink," "Do take me and drink," "Do take me and drink." till O.irl could not hear his voice as he said over the magic words. At the twentieth time, however, fell a dead silence over all the forest, and you might have heard a pin drop in it or the flowers growing while he made his way back to the fair and claimed the pippins. , "Take and eat them," said the old man, "and wisdom will com1) to you." 8o Carl went home and ate the ap pies, and in the morning every one began to crowd around him and ask: "Has wisdom come to yon ?" "How do you feel?" Are you any d'ffar ent?" Bur Garl went straight to the old man's booth without uttering a word. Then he said: Those apples tasted like any other pippins " "Well," answered the old man. "And I don't think they were worth Lord Martinus' coat, Lord Sohcrz's scratched face and my day's wages. "Precisely," said the old man. "Wisdom has come to you. If I bad told you they were Farmer Merlin" pippins yon would all have laughed at me, but because I called them fairy apples you were rWdy to break your ueck to get them as if fairy pippins were better than any other pippins. Wisdom has come to you indeed, if you learn from this not to judge in appearances or trust in a name." The world is full of fairy pippins, but believe me, I have been through that forest myself and the dear old home pippins taste quite as well and win cose you neither a scratched face nor a sorrowful heart.
