THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, MONDAY, NOV. 6,1916

Once upon a time there lived a poor widow with two daughters in a cottage Ju8t at the edge of the forest. Both girls were fine looking, but the youngest was lame, which made it difficult for her to get about the little garden. Here it was that the mother grew flowers and vegetables, which she took to market every afternoon to sell. The oldest girl, Mina, would , generally accompany the widow and assist her in the trading, but the youngest, Greta, remained at home. Greta was not only industrious, but sweet and kind, while Mina, who saw much of wealthy people in the market town,

was proud and selfish, thinking only of how she could get fine clothes and iewels. One night the widow and Mina returned in the cold rain. Greta gave them warm, dry clothing and a delicious supper. "There is no water to drink, Mina," said the mother at supper; "can't you run to the epring and get a pail." "No. Indeed, mama," pouted Mina. "I am tired and we do not need water tnyway."

ewspaper Syndicate, New Ycrk. "We are obliged to wash the dishes," replied the mother. "Some one must go and I do not think Greta should she might slip in the rain." "Well, I am not going," shouted Mina. "Greta can get water at the Witch's well and it won't harm her." Now the Witch's Well was not far from the house, but as the bucket had to be raised and lowered by a rope, the girls seldom used it. There was a story that a witch had once lived at the bottom of the well, but as no .one had seen her, for ; years, it was believed that she must be dead. Greta wrapped herself in an old coat and went to the well. The bucket went down and hit the water with a splash. Greta bent over to draw it up, but as she. did so her foot slipped on the muddy ground and she - fell down, down, down, till it seemed as if she would never stop. But she did not strike the water, for suddenly she found herself sitting on a mound of hay in a garden beneath a cherry tree and an old oman coming toward her. "It is sad that you fell," smilingly said the woman. "I am glad to see some company, for I have been down here a long time. I often go upon earth through my back steps, and I know well who you are. For many years I have had rheumatism. Could you spare time to rub m? foot a bit that might help it." Kind Greta rubbed the witch's foot till the pain stopped. "Let us take a walk in the garden now, child," said the witch. So she and Greta went about under the trees. These were unlike any other, for the fruit was jewels. The cherries were great gleaming rubies the gooseberries were pearls, the pears were fashioned of onyx, the apples were great emeralds, and the plums amethysts. "I do not eat these," said the witch

as she broke off a branch of the cherries, and, gave it to the girl... !'But I love to see them shine in the sun. Take jthese home with you-they, are worth a fortune." ' The witch led Greta to a long tunnel and showed her the way up and home. In a few moments the girl was in her mother's arms and all delighted with the gift. The cherries, being rubies were worth thousands of dollars. Now, when Mina heard about ; the well she darted out in the rain and jumped down ' . into the well. Like Greta, she found herself under "a tree and the witch coming, but when the old woman asked her to rub her foot Mina turned up her nose and replied angrily: "Rub your bid foot yourself, I came down here to get some of those beautiful jewels you gave my sister," "Very well," laughed the witch as she broke off a branch from the apple tree. "Here "are a dozen emerald apples. But I am afraid you will be disappointed when you get home." Mina grabbed the apples and when the witch pointed out the way home she did not stop to thank her, but raced up the passage and back to the cottage. . "See, mother, what I have," she exclaimed, laying the branch on the ta ble. "I have more than Greta. I will be the richest. Look at my lovely emerald apples, each worth $100,000." But as she spoke the apples changed no longer were they gleaming emeralds, but ugly green toads.

"That is what you get for being so

greedy," laughed a voice in the window.
