AN you imaRine sunset without
pink and rose, without violet
and blue? With no softly
tinted- clouds chasing over the sky
and no gorgeous crimson ball drop
ping lower and lower towards the
horizon?
Yet in some lands the sun just
slips out of sight without color or
glow. Listen to the story of how the
bcatttiful sunsets came to be.
Long years ago the suit shone witlt
all his fiery fury through the long day
all the time from sunrise till he
dropped out of sight in the west. He
thought that was the right way to do,
j on see.
One day two little cloud fairies met
each other in the sky. "Isn't the sun
a perfectly awful person 1" said one.
"Oh, no, he isn't awful at all," said
the other pleasantly, "he is merely
stupid."
"Stupid I" exclaimed the first fairy
in amazement; "how do you make that
The second fairy chuckled softly.
"Thai's easy! He is so very stupid he
thinks he has lo shine his very hottest
and hardest all the day."
"Yc, but that proves how powerful
he is," said the first fairy.
'"Xot nt all," replied the other; "it
merely proves be only knows how to
do one thing. Now I could make tlic
sun really famous if I had the chance
1 want." . . .
"What's that? What'.s that?" cried
the sun in his gruff, fiery voice.
"Who's talking about me?"
"1 am," replied the fairy bravely. T
was wishing 1 could make you fa
mous." "Make me famous," cried the sun m
disgust. "Don't you know 1 am famous
already?" , , r
"Famous as a hot-head, fiery pcrhon
maybe," replied the fairy, "but 1 could
make ou famous for your beauty and
.softness, your color and glow.
"Who cares about such trifles as
those?" said the stm lieatcdli'. "I daz
zle the world with my fire and light
that is enough." .
Hut he couldn't forget what the fairy
had said. He thought of it all the
hours. 'Beauty,' she said. I wonder
.ii..t 'henutv' would be like? Would
it be as great as strength? .
"You could have both." whispered
the fairy, who happened by just then.
"Now you have only strength, but I
can tell vou how to have beauty, too.
The hot old sun thought a while,
then he said. "Very well. I have tried
strength and it is good give me
loathe' fairy called her mates anil they
draped the sun with shlmmery
clouds.
So the fairy called her mates and
they draped the sun with shimmery
clouds. They tinted the sky as a ram
bow. They softened the hot rays to a
twilight glow.
And the old sun was pleased and
happy and thanked the farics for their
So ever since that day the s,un
shows his strength at noontide and his
beauty in the evening. And under lus

I never learned the wonder of that lano
Drenched with the summer rain,
Where through my boyish feet were
wont to pass.
Until I left lor the passionate town.
Marble and Iron ami brass,
rilled wltfj nil laughter; yea, and
filled, alas.
With life's lmmortul pain.
Then I beheld Its magic. Then I knew
How every rosebush grew,
How every leaf rocked in the wlnd-
hlown noon,
Tar, far away I huw it beneath the
moon
On matchless nights of June.
When tho untarnished hiher of the
sky
1'ourcd through the boughs,
And two nung lovcra whispered
deathless ovvs,
And then I heard
Bach snng-enrnptured biul
I'lpo his mad music ns wo wandered
by.
I breathed the fragrance of the haw
thorn flowers,
I drank tho joy that tho black cup of
night
Poured for my youth's delight
While round about nio from great
steeples and towers
The punctual city clocks sounded the
rushing hours.
I shall go back some day
To tho enchantment of that wildwood
way,
I shall know once again the scent of
musk
In tho cool summer dusk.
And lay my head upon Night's pillow;
lay
My fevered body where the blossoms
swny
Against the velvet curtains of the dark,
I shall see glowworms light their little
spark
In the hushed ovenlng; hear the
crickets croon,
And marvel at the moon.
