Pride no longer held the youth speechless, and sorrow made Elsie
see the tenderness and sympathy in her lovers eyes. Oh, how happy
she was as she poured out to him all her troubles and found comfort
and rest in his loving arms.
While the lovers stood together planning a life for the future—
things had been entirely taken out of their hands by the good little
Brownies.
They had known Elsie and worshipped her for her goodness, and
now the time had come when they might show their appreciation,
and while the lovers talked they had gathered silently around them.
Then the Queen of the Brownies spoke, “Good and lovely maiden,
and noble youth,” said she, “we know of your troubles and we want
to help you. Listen to what I tell you, and you shall have riches in
abundance. Go, when I have finished talking, enter the Briarly
woods. There in the hollow tree you will find a casket filled with
bright and shining gold, take it, spend it wisely and take with it the
blessings and good will of the Brownies.” It was a wonderful
wedding present, and filled the lovers hearts with gratitude.
THE BROWNIES AND THE FARMER.
The Brownies were sorrowful, more sorrowful than they had ever
been in their lives before, and that is saying a great deal, for
Brownies you know, live such a long, long while, and the saddest
part of all was that there seemed no way out of their trouble. The
Brownies who lived in the apple orchard saw it first and when they
told their friends, all with one voice, cried out, “The wrong must be
righted!”
Now this was the trouble. Farmer Grump had bought the Old
Clover Farm where the Brownies had lived happily for years, and
now each day was full of trials and discomforts, for this cruel farmer
seemed always to be finding a way to make the life of his stock
miserable. The cows had great boards tied over their eyes—so large
that they could not see and so heavy that when the poor creatures
went to crop the grass, Bang! Bang! went the board against their
noses.
The pigs suffered too. Into their noses had been driven rings that
almost made them bleed when rooting in the ground. And what
happiness do you suppose life holds for a pig if he cannot root?
The Brownies liked the donkey for he seemed such a patient, long
suffering animal but the farmer’s children made his life wretched—
they beat him, they stoned him, they even took their naughty little
feet and kicked him.
The sheep suffered, and the horses as they dragged the plough
through the hard earth or hauled heavy loads along the sandy roads
felt constantly the slash, slash of the farmer’s cow-hide whip.
Everything on the place suffered, so do you wonder the Brownies
looked sorrowful?
At last they could stand it no longer, and all met one night at the
“Seek us further” tree where the oldest Brownies lived. He had
gotten up in the limbs so that all might hear, or at any rate see him,
and announced that they had long witnessed these scenes of cruelty
in silence, but now something must be done, and they wanted all
the Brownies to help. He thought it would be a good plan if they
went when no one was around and whispered in the sufferers ear
that the time had come when they must rebel. They must stand up
for their rights.
“Hurrah!” and “Three Cheers,” cried the Brownies in chorus, as
they waved their funny little hats. The farmer heard the noise but he
thought it was only the wind blowing through the trees in the apple
orchard.

The meeting was dismissed, and quietly and carefully the


Brownies went about their work—and they did it well, too, for the
next morning when the farmer went to harness his horses, and as
usual brought the cruel whip down on their back—he found that two
could play at the same game for up went the horses heels and sorry
trouble Farmer Grump had to get them harnessed.
Then the
pigs took
their turn.
They showed
their long
white tusks
and acted so
savagely that
the farmer
left them in
fright. Even
Ned the
patient
donkey, kicked up his heels, galloped away and no one could come
near him. Everything seemed possessed with the same spirit and
Farmer Grump went to his breakfast the most puzzled man you
could possibly find. But the animals won the day, for that very
afternoon the farmer went to town and when he came back he was
carrying a large board painted in great big letters telling all the
neighbors that his stock was to be sold the very next day. This he
hung up by the road side, and as it was market day, the farmers
learned the news, as their tired horses jogged slowly along towards
home. They decided that they would attend the sale, and were on
hand bright and early the next day. The old farm place was crowded
with buyers, anxious to get horses and pigs and other animals for
little money.
How happy the Brownies were as
they crowded around, for the new
owners had thrown the cruel devices
of Farmer Grump away. They were
happy when they thought of the good
homes these poor animals had found
—but gladdest of all where they when
they thought of Ned, for Widow Love
had bought him to cart to market the
beautiful butter that she made every week. They knew that she
would be very kind and gentle to their old friend. That he would
have the softest of straw for his bed at night, and the finest of oats
for his dinner, while there would be no cruel children to beat and
kick him and make his life miserable. Ned lived a long while to enjoy
this beautiful home, and the Brownies always found him a faithful
servant.
THE BROWNIES RIDE.
“Are you in the humor for a lark, boys?” It was Dot,
the very smallest and as everybody knows, the most
mischievous of all the Brownies, who said it.
“We are that!” was the reply.
They were coming home from school, these
Brownie boys, and dinner pails and books were
thrown down at once while they crowded around Dot
to hear of the prospective fun.
“You know that clover field to the right of the big
stone house,” he began, “well some time ago Grimes
put up a sign which read ‘Horses taken to Pasture.’
You should see the luck he has had. I guess as many
as a dozen horses are running around in that pasture
field. It’s bad for them to do nothing but eat all day,
so I thought we would be doing a good thing for
them, and for ourselves too, if to-night, you know it is
moonlight, we borrow these horses and go for a ride.”
You should have heard the yells of delight with which this scheme
was greeted. No body but approved, except of course Croak, he
always objects to everything.
The plan was for them to meet at the school house at ten o’clock,
then go together to the pasture lot. A number of the Brownies were
to bring ropes which they would tie around the horses’ necks and
haul them into the road.
The hour came; the Brownies met, and the work began. They had
forgotten saddles, but some of them crawled through the windows in
the harness maker’s shop and came back loaded with both saddles
and bridles. Such a time as they had getting them on, and so many
Brownies had been invited that there were not enough horses to go
around so two and sometimes three saddles must be put on one
horse.

All was ready at last and off they started. It was so funny to see
them. Some of them actually hung on to the stirrup straps. Things
went pretty smoothly at first, but Oh my! what a difference by and
by. Saddles slipped, bridles came undone, and the Brownie boys and
even the poor horses went over and rolled around in the mud. But
the bitter must be taken with the sweet so nobody dared complain,
when the ride was over and the horses and harness were put in their
proper places, everybody pronounced it one of the best frolics he
had ever had in his life.
BROWNIES AT SCHOOL.
There was a great commotion in Brownie land,
for the good Queen had just sent forth a
command that all the Brownie lads and lasses
must go to school. She had sent her messenger
to all the mothers and fathers, bearing her orders
that they must send the children to the old school
house early the next evening. They could use the same room that
real children used, for they would go to school when most little
people were asleep. The Brownies were greatly excited. They could
be seen talking together in the most earnest manner; some pleased,
others sorry over the unusual event.
However, all the children and a good many of the
parents assembled the next evening and listened with
great interest to the words of Prof. Lofty, as he told
them what he expected them to do during the winter.
Brownies have no names you
know, so the teacher had to ask the
scholars to put a letter on their
backs so she could tell them apart. They, looked
quite funny running around with this kind of a
mark; quite like the kindergarten children when
they go on a picnic and have the tags tied to
their dresses, so they can be identified when it
comes time to go home. The Brownies proved good students, and
soon became very wise.

1.F.

Section 2. Information about the Mission


of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About


Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
