all laughed and said she certainly had
Goo-goo eyes now. Then Amanda told

Ruth being a changeling, and all but

Then they went to the beach but they
did not see the fairy, although they al

Il am not in the habit OF telling fairy

warmth, for she was just then thinkips

Il wish the Parallelapipedon would

She had forgotten all about the result OF
wishing. but she instantly remembered Il
as an awful thing came roaring UP out CT
the surf and started for Egbert, with its
immense red mouth so wide open that
she could see way down TO fits stomach
Egbert howied in terror and ran, with the

her mind Just as well as II she had lin
gered for many weeks in each OF the coun-
tries they visited, and all the time the
fairy told her the tales about each land
they passed through. Then she said rather
suddenly: ITS almost night. We must

But when Mr. Hogan heard the tale he
said right away that he believed she was
a fairy all right. and he wanted to know
when Amanda was going TO see her again.
The next morning when Amanda woke
Ruth up from her sleep she remembered
with start that the baby hadn't cried

hole. She found at once that it was too
small for her and she began to dig out the
soft sand with her hands, meanwhile
keeping a sharp eye on baby.
She had followed out the hole 10 a
much greater depth and was about to lie
down IN it and measure her grave. when
her hand touched something soft and

was unlike anything she had ever seen or

II carefully. il was about as large as a
big doll, but soft and more like a gray

Sandeline. They drove grandly along the
beach and all the thousands of people
stared at them and marveled, for both
looked very lovely. The baby remained
sound asleep all the time as though under
some spell. BY aud by they passed Her
mione and Pauline, both Of whom stared
hard and then started in surprise at the
sight OF nurse-girl Amanda in such a fine
phaeton. Then she saw Egbert, who also
stared with all his might at her, for at
first he didn't recognize In the beautiful
girl I'm the carriage their household slave

held up the box. which Pauline saw and
ran TO get at once
"Wfl you have some candy?' asked
Amanda.

Instantly a great car like rheI, ~

THE BABY SEEMED TO GROW

- HAT am going 70 tell you
MOI about happened at the sea
w shore,
There was q girl named
Amanda Stuyvesant. who was
an orphan. having neither father nor
mother, and who had been taken from
the poorhouse when only 6 years old by
Mr.. AdoIphUs Hogan. She helped about
the house, but mostly took care OF the
Hogan baby whenever a new one came.
There had been four OF them at one time.
The mother Of them died and went 20
heaven. leaving one in Amanda's charge.
Amanda thought this one, which was
called Ruth EvangeIine Edith, was the
very worst one OF all. She squalled from
daylight until dark, and woke up nights
az times to give extra performances. In
decd, poor Amanda often wished that the
baby's mother had taken her 10 heaven
along with her. for Amanda who was
now 10 years old, had really no time at
all 10 do anything but attend TO Ruth.
One morning early IN the summer they
were all sitting at the breakfast table.

eat at the same table with the Hogan

 terday.
 The horse races yesterday afternoon drew a large crowd, which patiently waited while two events were pulled oil. The track at Don Luis was heavy and gave horses that run well in sand somewhat of an advantage.
 The outcome was just below the base ball grounds, and was witnessed by thousands, who lined the track and occupied seats in the grand stand which was packed to it's fullest ca pacity. Several hundred were obliged to stannd up. after being turned away from the grand stand.
 The horse races brought here a large number of cattlemen from surrounding ranches. and they were very much in evidence yesterday. It was their horses that did the running, and they were right on the ground so see that every. thing went on properly
 The first race was the free-for-sll. in which over fifteen horses were entered. Before this race Kellogg and Petty placed . large number of bets. Craw- ford was played heavily to win, being rated a . good horse on any k1ad of
