THE ADVENTURES OF TWINK AND WINK, THE STAR BABIES.

1 1 _ — J The Twinkle Twins were two dear little Star babies, ca e Twink and Wink, who live ffar away up in the sky, mI .and miles away from old Mother Earth.

I. —— They often used to gaze up at the -big round Moon shining down on them, and wish and wish that they had wmgs, so that they might fly to it.

One night, as they were gazing at the Moon, two grey clouds came hurrying past them. "Oh, Grey Clouds I" cried the Star babies, "Please take us to the Moon!"

But alas T the grey clouds would not listen to them. "Don't stop us," they cried, "We are in a hurry!" So the poor little Twinkle Twins began to cry bitterly.

Suddenly Twinlc had a brainwave. "I know!" he exclaimed, "To-morrow night will be moonlight, and we may see little Silver Cloud. She has a kind heart, and if we ask her, she mght take us to the Moon."

The next night they spied Silver Cloud hurrying towards them. "Oh, Silver Cloud!" they cried, "Please take us to the Moon!" "I will take you to the Moonheam path," she replied, "The Moon fairies will show you the rest of the way."

Twink and Wink "were delighted, and lost no time in jumping on Silver Cloud's back. It was not long before they noticed the Moon growing bigger and zigger, and they began to get very excited.

But alas! before they had gone far they found themselves surrounded by big angry looking storm clouds. "Get out of our a y>' they shouted roughly, We are taking a storm down to Old Mother Earth."
