" 'Crandmother Tipsletoe Lost her needle and couldn't sew.' or something like that, until that person turns around to chase them ; they run off laughing." "That would be great fun," Bald the little followers of the Pole star. 'But don't you think old Ursa might get cross. He looks pretty fierce." nonsense," answered Polaris. "If he does we can 'run, can t we? 111 go first and you Just follow me." bo off across the skyland started a funny little procession of naughty stars, headed for the Great Bear. Polaris In the lead. When they got close enough that he could hear them as he sat there on his hunches, they all began to shout: "Ursa Major, Great Big Bear, Why do you keep sitting there?" In exactly the same tune that the earth children shout "Grand mother Tipsletoe," and one little fellow at the end of the line even went so far as to start a new yell, which went like tills: "Hip-hurrah, and hurrah, rah hipper. You look more like a great big dipper." Well the Great Bear heard them and lie had patience just so long and no longer. Then like old Grandmother Tipsletoe, lie turned around and stared to chase. Only he was In earnest. T wish you had seen those little stars run across skyland when th?y saw how cross he looked, for everyone was afraid of THE GREAT BRAR—he was almost as terrible as the Comets. They ran straight for the cave of the Blue Fairy, whom they thought they could get to protect them. But before they even had a chance to reach the entrance of her cloud cave, the Great Bear was Inside. "Blue Fairy," said he, "I have come In the name of all the planets and the Milky Way and everyone of the star folk whom those little tormentors, headed by Polaris, have been tormenting. Why to-day they even tormented me. Now we want them pun ished." «'b"n the mtle stars, headed by their friend Poley, reached the Blue t airy, she was very angn\ and before they could turn around she had stretched out her Fairy Wand and was saying: "You torment every one, far and near, So from now on forever you must appear The same in form as THE GREAT BIG BEAR, Only you'll be little—so there! so there!" And that Is how the Little Bear or the Little Dipper came iJLV'L up there in skyland with its back turned to THE GREAT BEAR. You will be sure to see It, for Polaris still leads them, and stands at the end of the line or the top of the handle, and Just wherever he moves the other stars must follow, and never, never can they get away from being THE LITTLE BEAR.
