New Mountains Appeared

Meanwhile, the boy, seeing what had come from
this last attempt, managed for many days to put
a curb on LIS tongue, and his Uncle Hiram hoped
that he had been cured of the habit But alas it
was too firmly ipgrained In him to be so easily
eradicated. | don't like that big word but it's the
as he was strolling in the fields after school, and
asked him if he would be good enough to lie him
back home again. Filled with perverse desire to
annoy the elf, Peter instantly refused his request
and said
9You can't have nothin' nicer than it is here in
your own home.D e.
The elf began to cry bitterly seeing which, the
wicked heart of Peter was rejoieed.
Hump cried the eperverse Pete faint the
only place they's mountains I've seen 'em bigger
a, taller nor you have, plenty o tiraes!"
Now, he had never seen a hill higher than a
barn in his life but his bad habit asserted itself at
once and he lied whole mountain ranges that are in
no. geography book IN any school He proceeded to
tell the elf all about the wonderful mountains
which he had seen, and finally wound up by assert
ing;
''There they are right over yonder, taller than
the Rocky Mountains but" said he as he pointed
toward the west, pretending to see the imaginary
peaks, shut you small down there in the
grass you can't see 'em at all. I often walk ont
there to them and sit on the very highest top an,
look all over the UnitedStates for hours at time
It's fine"
Pete gave jump as he spoke for he saw an i'm
nense range of dark blue mountains towering up
in the sky only couple of miles away in the west
The sharp-pointed peaks lifted one beyond another
and their tips were covered with snow So high
they that they seemed to- threaten to fall upon
the little plain below where the village rested
among the trees.
They will surely be Your undoing," replied the
elf, gravely.- 81 can see your finish, Mr. Peter
Peter, as t-sual, only grinned and walked toward
the mountains to examine them at closer range He

Killed by His Own Mountain

He turned and saw, Just as he expected q tail
palm tree right at hand and with one jump he was
at its trunk and hurriedly laundering No.
Pete trembled and almost lost his wits. Then,
as a wild-looking and very hungry grizzly bear
climbed within a foot of his legs he shouted:
Look out! That big mountain is going to fan
down you this Instant Better git away from
there"
These were Lying Peters last words. He never
thought when he called down a whole mountain to
rid himself of his enemies that he also would be
right under IT. surrounded he was by all the ami
mails, and so, when IN a twinkling mass of rock
as big all the plain fell with a sound like thou
sand thunder claps upon the tree, Peter persisted
with all of the he-animals which he had been in-
strumentai IN bringing to life. All Pedankville
was shaken If by earthquake, and people
looked to see mountain much closer to town
in wonder and amazement, but nobody ever saw
Lying Peter any more, for he was far beneath this
pile of rock. And, strange to say, at his death
was no more dissensiOn and pickering In the vii
lage, for all back to what it had been before
the fire, and people forgot that it had ever been
different at all. Only his Uncle Hiram guessed
what had happened, and he only surn1ised 1t, led
to that conclusion by seeing little brown elf sit
ting the new mountain top and crying to go
home. For seven days he sat there, and then he
vanished forever, so Uncle Hiram knew that he
had been freed from the effect of Petes lie and had
returned to his home in Elfland But Hiram never
made any effort to discover where Pete lay, for hs
afraid that he might find him alive and he
thought it far better to have him where he was
than threatening the village with trouble. I
think he very wise, and | never felt the least
sorrow fer Peter, for l. for one cannot bear liar

Back Home With a Camel

"Surel" cried Pete. "Its over there now, right
where you see those trees"
The sheik looked for the trees, and there they
were, not far of, and, hurrying to them, he found
to his delight, lovely well filed with the sweetest
water, and cold ice, which is unknown in Arabia
All the Arabs drank plentifully of this icy water
and soon had the most dreadful stomachaches
They wanted to slay Pete, but when the sheik told
them that he was a greater magician than Solomon
Levi they were frightened but they persuaded the
sheik to steal away IN the night and leave him as
they thought that 1t dangerous to have him in
their company. So next morning Pete woke up to
find himself alone by the well, with nothing to eat
but dates, but they were very satisfying, and he
didn't complain.
He heard great, growing voice say;
"Wel, what do you want near nay cavern %
Looking around, he terrible figure, an i'm
mense black being with an awful red eye In the
centre of his forehead, and he knew that it was
genie for he had pictures of them in his story

Made All His Lies Come True

"Too latet Too late!" cried the elf tearing his
hair Nov | must stay here ten days and make
all your lies come true You shall suffer for this
Go On to school and take your punishment" Then
he vanished into the woods.
Pete stood for long time staring in the shrub
berry until he reflected that he'd be late at school
and then he all the way; but of course he was
late. The teacher busy when he entered but
she glanced at him in way that chilled him as he
took his seat. Pauline Virgins -chucEed and Whis-
pered, you'll catch II" and in return Pete pulled
her braid so hard that she squeaIed aloud
Miss Anna Baxter, the naughty teacher, said
sharply: ''Peter Skinkz, why are you late and
what did you do to Paulinel"
Il was late" said Pete forgetting all about the
elf, because my mother fell downstairs and hurried
herself. an had to help her"
Us she badly hurts" asked Miss Baxter
Not very, but pa drove for the doctor an drove
so fast that he ran over hog and then ran inter
Squire Meader's buggy an dumped the 'So1ire
out inter the ditch. Pa was hurried, too, an so I
was late.''
That was no reason for pulling Pauline's hair
and for that you must 60 into the coat closet for
an hour" said his teacher.
Pete went into the closet, where he found the
teachers lunch and promptly ate it. Then he
rushed out suddenly, shouting: "Theres a bio
mouse IN thereP just as he said this he thouobf
of the elf, and, thinking that if his words were 10
come true he might as well have lot of mice. he
added: There's lot of 'em, and some rats IN
there, tooF
As be had left the closet door wide open he could
look into it, as could all the school, and he was
quite as much surprised as any of the scholars TO

wondered along until he was far up among the
peaks In the eternal silence of the snow, and then
he returned to tell his playmates all about the won
ders he had seen up there. As he went down the
mountainside he met funny old woman, who
stopped him and said:
HAre you not Peter Skinkz9"
Peter, fearing that something lay behind the in
nocent question, instantly took refuge behind his
usual lie, and replied:
mo, ma'am. Ny name is Adolphus Geers.
Peter IS now in Arabia. He was sick and lost his
teeth, so that he can't talk and he went TO Arabia
to learn to speak gum Arabic, cause he's only got
ms gums TO talk with, you see. l guess you'll have
to wait long time before you'll see Peter"
The next instant he found himself on a wide
plain of sand, plain so wide that he couldn't see
the end of it, the Desert of Arabia, in fact,
whittier his last lie had transported him In a
twinkling Not far away he saw group of
mounted 1nen-Wild Arabs-looking euriously at
him. and above them three tall palms waved sol
emily The Arabs, who at first seemed much as
tonlshed at his sudden appearance, recovered,
and swooping down upon Pete, took him captive
When the sheik told him they were going to,
Mecca Pete was quite pleased, for he never saw
that famous place where the bones of Mahomet
repose Before long he told the chief many things
about America, and finally he said:
"In my own land l a great conjurer and
wonderful animal trainer. In Pedankville I have
immense herd of wild animals all enclosed ON
wide plain-elephants, tigers, lions, hippopota-
muses., rhinoeeroses, giraffes, zebras an every
thing you can think of, from birds to snakes All
these animals are dreadful fierce, and would GER
tainly eat me up soon as they saw me, but viii
tame them all In a couple of weeks"
Of course, all this instantly happened at home as
he spoke, and the people, looking out on the field
saw them crowded with animals, but fortunately
there was very high wall all about them so they
bothered nobody, but just ragged up and down in
side, roaring, clawing and growing day and night
The sheik was much impressed, and asked Peter if
he had the pewer-to make we'll of sweet water
there IN the desert.

books swell, answer me-" beloved the genie, i'm
patiently ~Who you and what do you want Z"
i am Solomon" replied Pete at once sand
came to see what you doing here with all my
treasures
Well, of course, the genie bent double and fat
tened himself to the EARTH for Pete was Solomon
at once and he stepped upon the genie's neck to
show his superiority, and then went into the cave
to take look at the treasures therein.
Its all right" said Pete; sand now I shall turn
you into camel to take me across the desert" The
GENE began to howl, but instantly turned into
camel and silent. Pete loaded the animal
with diamonds, intending to take them away; but
IN addressing the camel he said:
Il am IN the habit of driving far handsomer
camels than you right in Pedankville, an want"
Instantly he found himself walking up Main
street IN Pedankville driving fine camel and all
the people staring at him and the children running
after him asking him where he got it, and what he
was gong to do with 1t, but all the diamonds had
vanished
Well" said he, 81 can soon get back there, now
that know how, and gather plenty more, anyhow"
lie met his uncle at corner, and he said:
Hello, Peter. Where did you get the camel. Did
IT come from that lot of wild animals over on the
plain yonder %
Then Pete recoIlected telling the lie to the sheik,
and he knew how the animals had got there. He
replied:

A few moments later he found himself out on
the PLAIN surrounded by ferociOuS beasts of all
sorts, from elephants TO snakes, all of them max
ing eyes at him, thinking to devour him at once,
and all edging up and nearer, trying to get
ahead OF each other as to spring upon him first.
There no way of evading them as Pete saw at
once, but they came nearer he said:
There's O. them tall palm trees right behind
me, and am goin to climb UP into 1t at once"

see an army of rats and mice pouring out into the
sehoolroom. All of the children climbed upon their
desks, and Miss Baxter jumped upon the stove,
but finding that warm spot, leaped to her tab
where she stood screaming The rats and mice ran
brlskly about the room for few minutes, during
which time some boy opened the door, and theI they
poured out into the fields. The school was broken
up for the day, many of the children were in
Mysteries, well the teacher, and they went
r home to find that Petes other lie had come true,
only with far more serious results His poor mother
had really fallen downstairs and broken her leg.
dis father, driving wildly for the doctor, had ran
into the 'Squires buggy and overturned it, putting
the Squire into the ditch, but unfortunately he
had IN the carriage large package of Spink's pat
ent fuel substitute for coal that is very ex-
plosive indeed which package came in contact with
the hot axles of Mr.. Skinkz's wagon and instantly
blew up both vehicles sending both the Squire and
Petes father high into the and injurins ITEM
severely. The Squire had already begun suit for
damages against Mr. Sknkz, which was sure to
ruin him.. and the road commissioner also had de-
manded 5000 for tearing immense hole IN
the public highway. Later in the day a spark of
the patent fuel, which had smOuldered for hours
on the roof of the Presbyterian Church urob-
served burst into fame, and in a few minutes the
church was burning hercely. high wind was blow
ing, and before the FIRE department could get its
coat and lock up the store the blast had driven
the immense flames against the Office of the Weekly
Symposium, and that fine two-stery building was
on fire IN Instant being filed with unsod papers
from garnet to cellar. Against such conhagra-
ton, the worst that Pedan1ville had ever seen the
ire department useless, and soon other build
lngs caught ire, so that N another hour the whole
village was IN flames, while the inhabitants ran
wildly hither and thither, and back again trying 10
save their property. Meanwhile, what caused the
most alarm as we'll IS aInaze1nent the street was
hlleds with rats and mice In enormous numbers

HE KNEW 1T WAS A GENIE

and gazed around at the tall, splendid buildings
the magnificent stores and handsome residences
that faced the street. But in another moment he
realized that his words had become true, especially
as he recognized the names on the signs over the
stores and street corners. He was very glad to be
able to feel that he had made such handsome amends
for his lie, but in few minutes he discovered that
almost all of the people quarreling dreadfuy
about their property several men claiming the
same building or dwelling because it was near a
corner or centrally located, while women were
angrily disputing, jealous of each others superb
furniture, or spitefully accusing each other of
sneaking into the best houses. Children were

Repaired All the Damage

Peter looked at II the homeless people trying
to make shelters for the night for themselves and
their children out of tablecloths, sheets, shaws,
wagon tops and the ike, and shuddered Cor be
had some feeling left His uncle walked away TO
assist pre- caring for nightfa, and Pete sat there
thinking of what a terrible deed he had done Sud
Genly thought occurred to him. II he had lied so
at this disaster had occurred why could lie not
undy all the damage by another lie and remedy
everytking2 Instantly he resolved to make the at
tempt, and, walking to little boy who sat on
fence crying for his mamma to give him his supper
he said:
"Don't cry, kid. All the village is a-goin' i, be
built up again tonight, an finer than ever Every
house IS a-gOin to be four stories high, an With
gas an water in em, an all the improvements an
full O splendid furniture, too. There's goin' to be
a barn behind every house full o horses an cows
an all the stores an churches goin to be built
up hundred times finer than before"
lie had scarcely finished speaking when he heard
an enormous long-continued shout that swecd 10
mighty chorus Of establishment and Joy as he ran
toward the centre of the village. He thought he

W Skinkz, but who was always called "Ly
ing Pete" because he couldn't tell the
truth, even if he tried, which never Eap-
pened. He could not relate the simplest incident
without dlstorting it into an untruth. He had
uncle who was a student of occult magic, and who
was perhaps the most learned man in that line
earth, for that sOrt of magic is the most difficult to
study, but, when learned, the most powerful kind
know of. Uncle Hiram told Peter that something
dreadful would surely happen to him if he kept on
telling lies, but Pete merely grinned-
This is what will occur" said Uncle Hiram.
Suddenly and without any warning you viii find
that the lies you tell viii become truths, much to
your own harm It has been many years since such
a thing occurred, but it's due now, for it happens
once every five hundred years that the fairies find
such liar as you and put charm on him, so that
when he tells whopper the very next minute it's
perfectly true and if you persist in lying, then I'd
advise you to be very cautious as to the brand of
falsehood you hand out"
This made Pete grin wider than before, as he
didn't believe in fairies or magic. He replied:
faint so at all, for / seen elf, hijus little
brown one, a-sittin' brush heap, an he didn't
do thing to me but roll his eyes"
His uncle shrugged his shoulders and did not
answer this palpable untruth so Pete took his
books and started for school. He had hardly turned
bhe of the road and was passing little wood
when out popped, with weird sound, a little brown
1warf and stood In the path. Pete shrank back as
the elf cried: "Stopl wish few words with you
You brought me here by lie, and you must lie
me back again or suffer for It'll"
Pete trembled, but could not reply. "Comel"
cried the elf In thin shrill voice, Gle me home
again, quick! A minute more and it win be too
later'
Pete couldn't find his voice. fer he was too scared
