Entering into the spirit Of the occasion,
Miss Reisen accepted the task.

Frank, as the functionary moved away.
Alice did not reply.
The wings were brought, and they
seemed almost large enough for the wearer
to soar with. She put on the costume and
danced two-step across the rude stage.
"Yeh mustn't do that, lady; this is fer

a grin.
Then came up one of the women of the
town, who seemed to have a part OF the
management She gave some instructions
as to what would happen, and Miss Reisen
listened intently. Another listened, but
she did not know it.
The programme OF the evening opened
with number of songs and Rotations, to
which the passengers from the train gave
the most earnest attention and hearty APP

not on the hills--he approached the fairy,
