Our Army,

The United States regular army,
which is regarded as the basis or
skeleton of much larger army in
time of war, is probably both as to
officers and men the best physically,
the most intelligent, the most high
ly trained and the most perfectly
equipped of any army in the world.

By MAUD WALKER.

long, long time ago, before half the
world was known OF by the people who
lived In its little byways. before there
were ships to sail the seas, steam cars to
speed across the great continents and
wires to carry the dOings Of the world
like lightning flashes to its farthermost
corners, there lived in the top of the Py-
renees Mountains a people that went by
the name Of Fairies. They possessed pc
culiar powers OF charm, working great
changes almost miracles among them
selves and the commOner people who
dwelt in the mountains below and the
valleys thereof. And the commoner peo-
pie feared the charm of the fairies, for 1t
was told among them that once hunter
from the valley had gone too far up the
mountain and found himself in the realm
of the Fairies. Being an ignorant fellow,
and not having the love for the Fairy
People that he should have felt, he drew
his bow and shot one Of them. Then he
turned and fed. But even as he ran down
the mountain side the Queen of the Fair
les called after him as she waved her
wand in air: Everything thou TOUGHEST
shall turn to stone
And the Fairy Queens curse had come
to pass. When the hunter on his way
down the mountain shot fine hare to
carry home for his supper 1t turned to

CRY and much frightened over what had

stopped at the public house to have
drink of wine. But as he raised the horn
drinking-fask to his lips the purple liquid
turned to stone and refused to flow. As
everything the man touched-bread, wine,
water meat, his bed. his clothing-turned
at once to stone, the people in the valley
began to fear him and to murmur that
he was a wizard. Then, when the night
fell very dark, a band of villagers took
the man to the outskirts of their land and
ordered him, on penalty of death, to
never enter their valley again. 1t was at
that moment that the hunter fell upon
his knees and confessed to having shot
Fairy 10 the mountains and that he had
received the Queens curse for his act.

afraid of him after this confession; also

in their unkempt clothes and said, with
a toss of her head: "Them done belong

Its own paupers. Come-don't be wasting
time talking to two runaway brats what
may be witch and Wizard for all we
know. The broth and cake Is on the
table and the wine Is poured into the
tankards. SO come into the house and
shut the door"
The man laughed harshly, waving his
big hand toward the mountain, saying:
BE Off, and don't come begging about
here anymore
The princess and prince went away,
looking back with smiles In their pretty
eyes, for they knew that at any moment
they could turn the man into tree stump
II they so wished to do so. They went on
to the very outskirts or the village and

wind and rain to enter through. In an

Come in, and may the Lord bless you"
The princess opened the door and walked
in, the prince following. They entered
a small and shabbily furnished room,
where sat thin, poorly dressed woman
in n chair nursing sick child. Two
other children, gry-looking little
things, sat playing by the open window.
There was no light save what came in
through the window, and no preparations
were being made for the evening meal.
I'VE are two lost children from over
the mountain" said the princess, stepping
close to the woman. May we stop here
tonight and sleep in your house?'

and mountain side. They turned the man
away cruelty, telling him to begone and
in some distant land to repent Of his sin
the shooting Of an innocent Fairy. The
man went his way, but legend says he
died of hunger and thirst the very same
night.
And so It came to pass that the common
people In the valleys and on the mountain
sides stood in great awe of the Fairies.
They reverenced the strange people less
than they feared them.
Now the Fairies were not the kind that
hold malice. Indeed, they never con-
demned anyone for another's wrongdoing.
And when the cruel hunter so ruthlessy
took the life Of an innocent Fairy their
only thought of revenge was to punish the
criminal In a way that would prevent
