made of wood, but he had so MANY electrical
appliances attached to him, that he was
able to do all the work of any ordinary
servant
Outside the castle the wizard had beau
tiful lake. He had brought the water in
there by electricity, he kept it from freezing
by electric heat and ship was on this lake
which the wizard propelled by electric
power. Sometimes the wizard would go out
for a journey. But he did not walk. He
simply touched an electric button and a
large carriage would come rolling before
him., The wizard jumped in, and as he had
q pair of electric horses before the carriage,
he could move along with the greatest
celebrity. The wizard had also beautiful
balloon, and he frequently went for pleas
ure trip through the air, and ride in that
balloon was said to be one of the greatest
treats anyone might wish for The balloon
was nsvigated through the air by the most
perfect of electrical machines, and such q
thing as falling with the balloon into q
gooseberry bush, tree top or a ditch was
impossible.
About this time there were two young
fellows living at the loot of the hill on
which the Electric Wizards castle was
standing. These two boys had heard so
much about the wonders and miraculous
things that were hidden in that castle, and
they had heard so much about the extraor-
dinary ings which it was said the great
wizard vas capable of, that both of them
resolved to go and see the wizard. Both

about electricity from the wise wizard.
So one day Jim and Robert set out to the
top of the mountain. They were entirely

might punish them for their curiosity of in

private grounds never entered their youth
1ul minds. When they reached the sur.
roundings of the Electric Castle, however,
they instinctively halted. The atmosphere
seemed to be impregnated with an awInlness
which made these young Adventures hesi-
tate little.

piled Robert boldly; but still would like
to know how the wizard intends to receive
us!"
"But before they were able to say any
more, q voice which sounded loudly like the
rolling thunder shouted: 'Whoare you and
what do YOU wsnt?'"
The boys were nearly frightened out of
their wits at the sound of the voice, because
they could not see where it came from. So
thev stood still for moment or SO, when
again the voice asked the same question.
Then Robert, who by this time collected his
wits again, replied: ''We want to see the
Electric Wizard"
"AIl right, then" the same mysterious
voice answered; take hold of the first wire
Won come to and look into one end of it."
Jim and Robert advanced and soon they
found q wire hanging on the wall Of the
castle. Robert took hold OF 1t and looking
