The little pixie loved things that were beautiful, and that is why he loved the little boy. One day as the boy was walking along the Black Snake slithered along until he was facing him, and prepared to strike. The little pixie, seeing this, sprang between them and was crushed to death. Tne Fairy Queen flew away to the little boy's garden and placed the brownie down. She touched him with her wand and he turned to a pretty, tiny, brown flower with exquisite perfume. The name of the' flower is Boronia, which means self-sacrifice. "SOUTHERLY BUSTER" (13). Johnsonville.
