Again the scene changed, and the princess
beheld the open sea, upon which fioated the
boat that bore safely her father and
mother. They seemed to be quite COM
Portable, and the girl was pleased to see
fresh water into the boat to last them dur

oars; and the woman steered The boat in

Our princess was very glad to see these

and that her dear parents had escaped the
fierce Mifkets. In company with her friend
Chick and the gingerbread man, she wan
dered through the palace during all that
afternoon, seeing many wonderful things
that the Fairy Beavers had provided for
the comfort and amusement of their COM
munity. 1t was, indeed, a little world by
itself, placed under land and water where
no mortal could guess it's existence.
In the early evening the king escorted
them to a splendid banquet hall, where a
long, low table was set in the center of the
room. The dishes were all of sparkling cut
glass, and the eatables proved to be very
delicious foods made from vegetables that
grew at the bottom of the river together
many rare sweetmeats that could only have
been created by the magic of the fairies
themselves.
Around the long table were rows of
silken cushions: but when the children
and the gingerbread man entered the room
seemed deserted by all save themselves
and the king.
His majesty the King of the Fairy Bea-
vers sat upon a cushion at the head of the
table and graciously placed the princess
and Chick close to his right hand and John
Dough at ms left. Then he blew softly
upon a silver whistle, and at once before
the eyes of his guests appeared rows of
Fairy Beavers, occupying the cushions be-
side the low table.
They were all pretty to look upon, hav-
ing slvery fur as soft as satin, and large
dark eyes that regarded the strangers
pleasantly and without fear. From the
neck of each was suspended. by means of
silken cords, richly embroidered cloak,
exquisitely woven from a material I'M
known to the princess, and blaZoned with
an emDie;-l denoting the rank or degree of
the wearer. Also each of the Fairy Bea-
vers wore a jeweled circlet upon the brow;
but none of these was so magnificent as

When the police rushed in. a doctor was
sent for. and thus it was found that the
tall, well-built, comely lad in reality
a girl. Then it came out that she was the
much-sought Esperanza Garcia Vasquez.
The girl was reconciled to her family,
and her lover pleaded for an immediate
marriage. but instead the senorita has just
taken the veil in the Hermanas de Carload
convent in Madrid. and swears she will
spend her life Sister of Mercy. tending
the poor and nursing the sick.
She told a remarkable story of her wan
derings in the three months. 1t was be-
cause of the distasteful betrothal that she
determined to leave home. The household,
in the early morning, tired out with the
ball. was soundy asleep. The girl dressed
in her toughest clothes and taking only
such money as she had in her purse, quiet

way to the railway station and boarded a
milk train bound for Bilbao. From there
she took another train to lonely country
station and began a tramp over the high
way to Madrid. The first night she slept
with the female servants In cottage back

that she assume male attire and join an

properly in her pockets. She was treated
with great consideration. and finally a po-

The suggestion was that she furnish

the band could rob IL. The girl declares
she did not intend to do this. but SEEM

The robber band was angered at her be-

says she did not enjoy herself. and Is glad
of the haven of rest and peace which the
convent has now given her.

The Fairy Beavers.

THE Mifkets uttered cries of rage as
they observed the escape of their
intended victims, and rushed for
ward to follow them. But Immediately a
great floor of water began falling just at
the place where the children and John>had
entered. and, as the Mifkets recoiled from
this new danger, our friends heard a soft
voice say, with a little laugh:
'They will not dare to follow you now.
Come with me, and be careful not to Slip"
John looked down, and saw a handsome
beaver standing beside him. His fur was
the color of silver and upon his head was
tiny golden crown set with jewels SO
bright and sparkling that the rays lighted
the dim place like so many sunbeams. The
Beaver Kings face was calm and dignified
