The fifth candle eaid nothing, but smiled at the hollyhocks in the bed beneath the window. "What for you, sister?" asked the other four. "What colour curls do you want, blue or chestnut brown?" "I am quite satisfied with my own," said the fifth little candle. "I think white curls are the most beautiful of all." "She is quite satisfied!"" , said the other four, shaking their heads. "She thinks white curls are the most beautiful of all! The idea! And she is our sister!" The contented candle winked at the hollyhocks. "We like them, too," said they, in pretty piuk voices. The wind had been hiding among the hollyhocks, and had heard them talking. "I'll have some fun with these candles." he said, and hopped up on the window-sill. First, he blew on the candle that wanted black curls. '■Stop, stop," she cried, "you're mussing my curls, my lovely black curls.' The ivind blew again and she went out with a puff. / All tlie hollyhocks jriggled. The wind blew at the second candle, the poetic one. ,; Oh, you've torn my hair-net," she wailed. "How could you?" and she went out. The wind pulled a curl of the third. "Let ffo," she'shrieked. The wind laughed gustily, and she blew out, too. The" fourth candle looked frightened. "Don't touch mc," said she. holding on to her hair. She was the one who wanted scarlet curls. "Oh, fiddle," said the wind, and blew her out with one blow. ! "Now for you," and he turned to the fifth little candle. She held up her head, and the wind blew through her curls, tangling them wildly. The harder he blew the higher and brighter rose her flame, and the wax melted and melted. Her curls grew thick and long. She laughed with glee. The hollyhocks gigpled behind their bonnets. Finally the wind laughed and blew off. "I have never had such long, fine eurla," said the fifth candle. "Why, they're all over the floor!" The hollyhocks shrieked with laughter. "How"pleased the maid will be! Oh, funny little candle." "I'm so sleepy," said the little candle. Shfi gave a great yawn and went to sleep. THE SAFETY-PIX.
