MET UP WITH A RABBIT

He was walking through deep, dark wood one
warm summer morning, when a rabbit came limping
to him with splinter in its foot, and, holding up
the injured member seemed to ask for help. Ran
dolph lnelt down in the grass, took firm but gen
tie hold upon the rabbits foot, and in trice had
extracted long, sharp spine or thorn that had been
buried deep in the soft flesh between the furry toes
The little animal seemed to smile its thanks, and
ran away frisking and bobbing it ridiculous apol-
Ogy for tail in great relief. But before PAndolph
had risen to his feet he was startled to hear faint
and PARKWAY shrieking as of somebody in great
pain and terror. The voice seemed so distant that
although he peered through the woods between the
gray tree trunks, he didn't expect to see anybody.
At the time he distinctly caught the accent of
great fear in the voice. He began to walk in the
opposite direction of the yelling, but he heard the
voice cry:
"Come back! Don't go awayi Come, I pray,
and help me, or l viii perish"
lie surprised. for the words seemed surely
TO be addressed to him; yet how could any one so
lar away see him in the dark woodss He took
few steps back, and then he became aware of
cold, chilly air that suddenly swept through the
woods-an almost ley wind that came so suddenly
that it seemed unnatural as well as out of season.
and Just as II some one had opened refrigerator
there in the forest. Then he heard the tiny voice
again, and it seemed TO come from the ground
He stared at the grass before him. but saw moth

large log of wood half buried in the tan grass

Randolph now looked at the los. and there he
saw, with much astonishment, a tiny little man
dressed in gray that almost exactly matched the
color of the wood, and the little man seemed to be
fastened to the log IN some manner.
lie sprang 10 him, and then he saw that the tinv
old mans long, white beard was caught tightly in
cleft of the wood, so that he could not move. A
wood choppers axe lay beside the log and pile of
chips showed that he had been choppng there but a
short time previous. Randolph looked about hastily
and, seeing very large chip, he quickly picked it
up, TANNED il into the cleft and, striking it
sharp blow, drove it IN so that the cleft opened and
the little man was released. He jumped down from
the log instantly, saying: Il am very much obliged
but We mustn't tarry here minute longer, or the
wizard wall get us. Follow me at oneel"
Then he hurried of toward clump of gigantic
beech trees that stood in the middle of clear space
in the forest. Much surprised as well as greatly
interested, Randolph walked after the tiny fellow.

ran. He darted toward the biggest of the beech
trees and when he reached it he lifted loose strin

'In with you, after me, quickl" he cried. ~He's
almost here!"
Randolph lifted up the bark and saw that the

all this happened to him which am about to re-

them, and would come TO him when ailing with per-

had done them good. Some people said he had
sort of charm that made the animals fearless, but
It twas merely the fact that his love for them shons
in his kind eyes, and they saw it.
Well, Randolph's hands were covered with warts,
and be used to wonder and ponder upon the prob
lem as to how he had got them as deeply, if not
more earnestly than how to get rid of them. BE
had them in all sizes, some like marrowfat peas,
others as small timothyseed, and they made his
fists appear very repulsive, so that all of the girls
turned up their noses at him and refused to asso-

them.
He had tried milkweed toadstool juice, lemon
and kerosene oil and many other things, beside MAX

road and, without looking back dropping a rsg
stained with the blood in the middle of the road;
but none of these remedies worked on Randolph's
warts at all In fact, more came. He made count
less experiments in order to discover a cure, and
speculated very often whether they were not caused
by the bite of some insect the same as gals are
made on trees by the ichneumon fly; but if that
we're the fact, would, 1 think have warts on our
faces as well our hands. Then, when he had

life with them, for he didn't know that they 60
