 fashioned hallway, mingling with moonbeams that fioated through the window halfway up the stairs. From their bedrooms above came the chil- dren's voices.
 Bless their baby hearts," cried Ethel in subdued voice. T wondered what they were up to this afternoon when they came to me twice and asked so seriously whether they was weally faiwies.' '"
 And what did you say?" l inquired. T told them to find out for them selves" she replied, promptly. T didn't have the courage to disillusion- ize them utterly"
 And they're going to find it out, if possible"
 T wish we could help them," she remarked.
 Maybe we can,'' I replied, hopeful ly.
 Thereupon we turned our attention to dinner. We were sitting there nearly an hour later, finishing our coffee, when we heard the stairs creak dismally.
 Then Ethel put her hand on one side, and listened intently. There was no mistake this time; the stairs certainly did give out a continuous series of creaks. Likewise did we hear a faint pattering, as of chubby, bare feet, and hard breathing, and half-stifed giggles and gurgles.
 "Mercy!" Ethel exclaimed under bo,. hol ly going outdoors in their night clothes,"
 "Sh," I warned. Don't be alarmed. Maybe they'll put on their coats and hats. Anyhow, wait until they get in to the back hall; then we can creep upstairs and see them through the window at the landing"
 In another minute the door separat- ing the front from the back hall closed, and little later we heard e-l- cited whisperings from the clothes press far in the rear.
 'Now's the time." Ethel cried. Let's hurry up to the window while they're putting on their coats and hats We tiptoed out of the dining room, and up the stairway. For a long time we looked and listened anX- iOusly at the little window, and I was about to go down again when the back door creaked, and an odd little figure appeared in the moonlight just below us. BuzZer's fluffy golden hair was hidden by an old hat of mine, a shapeless gray felt. When he had gone a yard or two from the door he in, whisper, Come on, sister. Hurry up, r tn faiwies Il get away!"
 There was a brief pause, and the next moment Ethel strangled in an effort to stifie a laugh.
 Just look at the baby," she cried, softly. Moonlight summer night, and she's got on her rubber boots"
 And Nora's sunbonnet, Wonder where she found it?"
 l didn't answer, for just then Buz- ger spoke again.
 We'll go quietly pas Jasons house an tn barn. he explained, down tn lane to where tn faiwies is, in tn wall"
 Quietly, so not fwighten 'em?" Beeby inquired, in anxious tones.
 Yep said Buzzer; and away they toddled, hand in hand, through the moonlight.
 Quick, Ethel!" l said, running downstairs as rapidly and as noise lessly as possible. Follow me, and we'll see the fun!'
 Poor little chaps!" she responded. Tt doesn't seem fair to take advan-

We won't take any" I said, hold ing open the SOor, so she could pass through. We'll find out where their fairy land is. and then we'll people it for them
 What a splendid plan," the dear girl cried. giving my shoulder a pat of approval How did you think of it? And which way shall we go?"
 Around the house here, and through the orchard back of the corn crib and wagon shed-then we'll reach fairy land ahead of them"
 So on we ran as fast as we could, through the shadows of the apple or chard, and hid near the stone wall, just as the little folks came down the grassy lane. It is a long march and a hard march from home to fairy land when one wears a mans big slippers, that persist in coming off every five yards, or when one Is al most lost in fathers coat and Noras sunbonnet. But they came on bravely, indeed, hand in hand, Buzzer shuf- fling on ahead a little, Beeby dragging her weighty rubber boots with slow CT steps. All at once they stopped, with admonitory "Hush!" from Buz- ger Don't make any noise." he add ed, kicking the slippers from his feet and tossing aside the big hat.
 Me, tool" Beeby exclaimed sitting plump down in the lane and pulling off her boots. Then she slid out of my coat, the sunbonnet fell to the earth, and on they came to the stone wall, half in ruins, in very truth a rair of sprites dancing gaily in the moonlight, through the soft, sweet smelling night air. Trembling with excitement, they reached fairy land, and peered in crevices, and in the lit Ele caves where two or three great stones lay in heap. But alas.
 "Me-me don't see any faiwies," said Beeby a tremor in her voice ''DaeS co. Buzzer?"
 ''N-no," he replied. hesitatingly, "I T guess they's away somewhere. Course they is!" he continued, brisk. ly starting to his feet.
 "Couse they is,' Beeby echoed, likewise standing up. Why, Buzzer?" Why, we fordot-they's away off in fields, miles an miles away, dan cin' an singin' an playin' games.' Les go findum." Beeby cried, starting back toward her boots and sunbonnet.
 ''NOi" BuzZer responded, picking up the slippers. But I'll tell you what we'll go back to bed, an come out early an ketch 'em tomorrow fore they gets away from home!" Below they gets away?" she echoed, hurrying after him.
 Yep! Come on, sister, we'll get up- stairs quick"
 l confess to a breath of relief as they started back toward the house.
 If they'd stayed out much longer" said Ethel, as we cautiously followed, they might have caught their death of cold"
 : Yes; but they didn't stay out longer" I reminded her. And by the time we get indoors again. they'll probably be in bed"
 I'll go up softly and see that they are covered" she said, starting to- ward the stairs.
 1 l stood in the hall, listening, while Ethel disappeared above in the dark | ness. Soon very sleepy little person said, "Muvver, what co doin'?" Oh, just tucking you in, dear.'' i Then from another room came Buz- zer's voice, solemn and weighted with , care. Mother, does faiwies ever get i home?"

WILL OPEN UP ALASKA
Men of Millions Plan Railroad to Tan
 Rich Country.

An enterprise in which the Guggen- helms and J. P. Morgan are thinking fl embarking will dwarf all others thus far undertaken in Alaska. It has been stated publicly that these men without offering any stock to outsid CTS, intend to build from Valdez. east of the Alaska Central, northWester1v through the Copper river country to the Yukon river, traversing a region rich in copper, gold and other metals Not only is the copper ore of that re- zion abundant and rich, but it is said to have value for smeItfng operations owing to its availability as a f1ux. Ii is generally known among smeltine men that economy of operation can be secured only by mfngling different ores, some of which are brought from long distances. For this reason the smelting men acquire mines in all parts of the world touched by the Pa- cific-in Mexico, South America, Chi na, Alaska, and the Pacific Coast States.
 Stolen Works of Art.
 The robberies at the Louvre recall an incident in the park of one of our most illustrious historical castles. Several masons arrived one day and began to remove beautiful vase. In reply to the superintendent the ma sons said they were taking it away for repairs. The superintendent there upon assisted them to remove it, and it was never seen again.-La Figaro.

THE COW.

The COW is called at this school a
bovine, except when she smites the
mixer in the kisser with her caudal
appendage-the names she is called
then cannot be set down here. The
COW has a leg on either corner, being
in the language of Homer, a quad
ruped, and she also has two stomachs
and is permitted to bring back and
rechew anything which she has pre-
viously eaten. While we have no
desire to criticize nature it seems that
it would have been a grand thing to
thus equip the small boy. Think of
the joy OF recalling a green apple that
was creating an assortment of pains
and mental anguish within our small
son. The COW should be kept in a
draughty stable, fed on musty hay
and lambasted eight or eleven times
with the stool before milking. The
offspring Of the COW is called a calf
while living and veal when dead.
After a COW reaches the age OF fifty or
thereabouts she does not give much
milk, she is consequently knocked in
the head and her carcass is fed to the
boarders in large cities. Her hide is
made into shoes.

THE HOG

There are several varieties Of hogs.
The human hog spits on the sidewalk
and takes up four seats in a railroad
train, but this is not the breed OF hog
they teach about at the college. This
latter hog is possessed Of a rather
long body built close to the ground,
on INT end OF which is a snout and
on the other a stingy tail. Within
his body are spareribs, pork roasts,
lard and everything else about the
house that NJ one or nothing else
would eat. We have heard or read Of
people who kept the pig in a parlor
but when left to his own he
prefers a muddy wallow somewhere in
the shade. A hog, like some people,
does a heap of grunting while doing
absolutely nothing. The flesh of the
pig, or hog, is used for meat, the hair
for brushes, the head for cheese, the
bones for fertilizer and the water in
which he is washed, for a health giving
extract. Nothing gets away except
his dying squeal and it is hoped that
in time this may be saved and put in
baby's rattle.
