Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites in

the special favor shown to the Demorest

The Fairies of Lake Waramung.

Near W tne Top Vi tne rocky pas
ture that slopes down to the sparkling
waters of Lake Waramung two chill,
dren were gazing anxiously down to-
ward the shore.
"Lightbourne-does 90 see any?"
hsped little Elizabeth.
"No-oo," replied her brother,
not moving his eyes from the scene
in front of him-"No-o, but they
must be here. Uncle George says
the fields and the woods and lakes are
full Of fairies, il we will only keep
our eyes open to see them; SO I'm
looking"
"Dere tones Uncle Deorge now!o
cried Elizabeth, clapping her hands.
"Tome Uncle Deorge, tome quick and
show us the fairies!"
Uncle George, who was hardly
more than boy himself, approached
the children by leaping gaily from
stump to stump, and rock to rock, as
he rapidly descended the long stretch
from the brow of the bill to the upper
edge OF the pasture, where the chill
dren waited.
Eyes, Lizzie, my dear, that's just
what I'm coming for. ! wish to in
troduce you to some Of my fairy
friends. Come along!"
And extending a hand to each of
the children he raced with them down
the steep slope to a point on the
shore of the lake where there is a
narrow strip Of gravelly beach. Walk
ing along this strip they came to a
spot where the shore is of wet sand
lying just below sheet of the bank
which has been washed out by the
water and now lies with all its treas
ures laid bare, as might happen with
a house il one of its side walls should
fall down and leave its rooms and fur
niture open to be gazed at by any
one passing by.
Here the broken bank side shows
first the roof-like mat of tangled grass
and wild flowers. Just beneath this
roof is q closely woven mat of grass
roots, clinging fast to stones and
twigs in tle rich, soft earth, and
lower still, like the lowest floor of the
house IS the throng of tree-roots
curiously winding through the soil to
find their way to the lake that they
may draw up its sparkling waters for
the scattered trees Of the old pasture
to drink.
"Just here is the sort OF place
where some Of our fairies love to hide
and here we will look for them; but
we must keep very still for we do not
want to frighten away the little
people," said Uncle George.
The children eagerly assembled and
Uncle George fixing his eyes keenly
upon portion Of the broken bank,
kept silent for what seemed a very
long time. AT last he exclaimed in
an excited whisper, "Here here is
the door!"
And then he began to sing, in
tone 50 soft that he could hardly be
heard.
Dear Fairy of the hillside old
The secret Of thy home unfold
We will not harm, we will not tell
We love thee, Fairy dear, too we'll
BY buried twig and tangled root
We seek to trace thy gentle foot.

The children promised, and were
almost afraid to breathe while Uncle
George was using his penknife very
softly and carefully, to move without
disturbing, what seemed like merely
a small lump of earth just like all the
rest of the soil around it.
In few moments he had succeeded
in opening very tiny, circular trap
door. Both the children kept per-
fectly still, while Uncle George, with
out speaking, called their attention to
the little door, which, though ON the
outside made of only the common
earth of the bank, was on the inside
lined with a soft, glossy, gray silk,
finer and stronger and smoother than
any silk that can be made by the most
skillful silk weavers of France.
And then he showed them how the
door was fitted with spring hinge SO
that it would always shut Of its own
accord, unless purposely held open;
and how this hinge was also made Of
the same fine silk, only more strongly
spun and made as elastic as rubber.
The children were full of admira-
ton of this beautiful work, but Uncle
George hushed them while he made
them look a little farther and see how
the tiny door opened into tiny pas
sage way leading far into the dark
bill side, and that this passage way
was also curtained and carpeted with
the same beautiful, glossy, soft grey
silk.
Here Uncle George turned to the
children saying anxiously:
Remember now what I told you!
Many fairies have fancy for fright
ening those who come to look at them
for the first time. But you must not
exclaim nor in any other way allow a
Fairy to know if you do not admire
her, as she will leave, and then you
will never know how beautiful she
may really be when you have become
acquainted with her."
Again Lightbourne and Elizabeth
promised to keep quite still, and I'm
Gle George went on grooming his little
song all the while that he was very
slowly and gently pushing long
blade Of grass into the silk hung pas

See, see my gentle Fairy Queen,

Dear Fairy OF the hill and void

We will not harm, we will not tell,
We love thee, Fairy dear, too well.
Hardly had Uncle George sung the
last word when out rushed, in the
angriest manner, very fierce looking

Poor little Elizabeth could not help
it. She sprang aside with shrek
and a stamp, crying:

saying severely:

was?"
"But," exclaimed both the chill
dren, Indignantly, 1--WE promised that
