 And so the band moved on round the hill, trying every foot of ground as they went along.

fell for some moments, then slowly they expanded into shapes-shapes of fairies. Bee sat up and rubbed her eyes. Surely, she had fallen asleep and was dreaming. But no, there they were, several pretty fairies; md one carried a little wand with a star on its point This fairy came to Bee and said: II shall cause deep sleep to fall upon your parents and brother. Then you shall all be carried to a beautiful country beyond the moun- tain where you shall be made rich and happy. None but you shall know of the journey till they awake in the morning"
 But just as the fairy was about to wave her wand over the sleeping par ents of Bee, that little girl stayed the magic wand, saying: "Will you please. good fairy, take all the poor who were discharged from the shop today, too? They are as poor and unhappy as we are"
 "Your wish shall be granted. little heart of gold" replied the fairy. Then she waved her wand over the sleeping man, woman and boy. causing them to slumber more deeply. And then they were lifted by hundred winged fairies. Bee of course being carried also, and were taken from the cold, dreary old cabin out Into the night. And over the mountain they were carried as fast as the birds fly. Before dawn they were set down in lovely house so comfortable and full of warmth and light that Bee clapped her hands with happiness. "oh, how glorious' she cried. And then her parents and brother awoke.
 It is impossible to tell of their happy surprise, and their thankfulness to the good fairies who had brought them hither. But 1t took Bee and Ben some time to assure their parents that they were not dreaming, hut wide awake.
 And near to their home stretched great acres of rich land: and on the land were numerous pretty cottages where the tillers of the soil and the workers In the shops were to dwell. Ana all these be- Ionged 10 the parents of Bee and Ben. And when, after a good breakfast Bsn's and Bees father went to look over the lands and shops which were his own what was his happy surprise to find there all his old comrades who had worked In the shop beside him and his good wife on the other side the great mountains And In the goodness and thankfulness of his heart he made each man owner of his own cottage and several acres of rich land. And there for many, many years lived the most contented people on all the earth. And they owed their happi- ness to their own goodness and the magic of the fairies. the fairies who only help the good. you know. and who never do

scarce with the poor. Bee and Ben were obliged to be very saving of the sticks they called the wood faggots)-whch they laid upon the fire during their parents absence And not only did the little boy and girl suffer for want of light, but they suffered intensely from the cold when the winter once set In.
 One day early in December. the little pair were seated beside the open door looking out towards the great mountain that lifted his hoary head toward the clouds. Although it was very cold out of doors the children preferred the chill breath of the mountain to the closed. dark room with the flre-lght fickering here and there and making ugly shadows to frighten them. So they kept them selves as comfortable as they could by wrapping the bed clothes about their thinly clad forms and sat beside the open door,
 '"rhe mountains are very tall" said Bee. wondering what mysteries were hid den away in their canyons and caverns. .I should like to fly like q bird and see what Is on the very top"
 "Ah, fairies dwell there," declared Ben, his eyes growing big and bright as he looked upward. Fairies live in the top of the mountain"
 And there live the weather makers too," said Bee. Tt Is from the mountain tops that the snowfakes come. "Ugh.' And the little girl shiyered as she thought of the cold that cnme with the snow flakes. Ugh, don't like snow and as long as 1t is clear we can sit out of doors and see the mountains"
 And we may also see the roof of the shop where otir father and mother work And we may watch for fathers and mothers coming ns the dark creeps down." said Ben. But when 1t snows we must close the door, so to the fire and crouch beside it to keep warm, and walt in the darkness for the sound of fathers and mothers footsteps outside the door"
 But just as they talked the clouds gathered about the crest of the mountain top, shutting of the suns welcome rays. Bee and Ben watched the darkening with misgivihgs. "Ah," sighed little Bee. "The weather-mG kers have begun to fix their real winter. See the dark smoke from their weather furnace?"
 "Oh. yes. the smoke makes the clouds, doesn't itr' asked Ben. And by toinor- row we'll have to close the door and re. main inside. The snownskes will dll the air and the air will be so chilled that If we stick our noses out they will be sadly nlpped and made to sting ns though they had been really bitten by wolf. An, 1t is too bad that the snowlakes must come to the poor. Were we rich like the lord of the village. who owns lands and shops, we could have com. fortable house with windows in 1t and a big fire in the fireplace, a fire that would leap upwards and roar and crackIe and flash. And we'd have large rooms with rich rugs about on the floors, rugs made from the soft skins of bears, tigers and lions. And there'd be q kitchen built beside the house In which whole deer would be roasted. great loaves of yeast and sweet bread baked, and most de- licious butter and cheese made for us

 But Goodies had dropped his shovel in hurry, and was looking with blazing eyes at the offender How dared you sPeak?' he at last burted out. You've broken the charm that's over this grave. Hain't you any sense?''
 All the band of Explorers" were as angry with Tom as was their Leader and Chief Instigator, Doodles Yes. the charm was broken. And now they must look for another grave and recommence their work. But Tom was not to be turned down as the only offender. Looking up at the starry heavens above their heads he said: ''I thought we were to sing an Injun chant unless 1t was cloudy. See the stars up yonder? Seems to me my talking wasn't so much, after all"
 Doodles felt the warm blood mount to his cheeks and was glnd 1t was too dark for the others to see his confused blush He, then. had been the first offender, for as the Leader he should have instructed his men in what they should do before spade was touched to earth.
 Well we'll find another grave" he said, apologetically, turning and walking off oyer the rough ground. And once we've got 'er we've got to all understand

Into the soft earth went pick. spade and shovel. every boy working with will. Indeed. they were so cold that vigorous work was welcome; 1t would start their blood to circulating freely and warm them a bit.
 About ten minutes after the beginning of the work few big rain drops fell. The clouds had thickened, too. till 1t was almost impossible for the boys to see each other. Only a faint light came to them from the Western horizon that was as yet clear of clouds.
 With first rain drops Goodies looked about questloningy in the faces of his felIow-diggers; but each countenance was as placid as a mask. Not man jack" would show the least concern over the threatened downpour. but stopped over his work with renewed energy.
 Then a flash of forked lightning made 1t as day for a moment being imme- diately followed by low thunder. The raindrops became smaller and more nu. merous, causing more than one of the "Expiorers'' to wish mentally that he were safe at home and in his own bed. December thunder storm was not agree able to be out in. But not one of the diggers was willing to give the signal to quit work and retire to their tent. All waited upon the order of Doodles. Aud Doodies knew their feelings, too. md felt his own responsibility. And for once in his life, Doodles realized that to be Leader was not all that he had thought it to be. A Leader must bear all tue re- sponsiblity of failure as well ns all the glory of success. Should he give the signal to stop work he might call down condemnation on his own head. What was he to do. then? The rain was com ing faster and faster. And n high wind had risen. It seemed senseess-eyen foohardy-to keep the boys at work.
 But just as Tom and Billy were on the point of throwing down their spades there was a lurid flash of lightning that blind ed them, followed bys so terrible crash of thunder that Doodles, unconsciously, screamed aloud, throwing down his spade and starting wildly towards the tent. The others of the band asked no questions. But Billy and Tom each felt thankful fin his heart that he had not been the first to show weakening. But they made quick time as they followed their Leader and Chief Instgator to the tent where all huddled among the warm blankets till morning.
 The sun was about an hour high when '"rhe Boy Explorers were awakened from deep sleep by q gruif voice over their heads: "Waal, I'll be-jiggered A whul pacel of youngsters campin' in Il tent!'

 But finding another spot that bore the unmistakable marks of being a grave and n grave full of hidden treasure-was not so easy to accomplish. and it was long past midnight when at last one of the boys-by name of scotty Brown cried out: "I believe I've got Ter, fel lersl''
 And once more the band gathered to in. spect. and after inspection. to declare that "Scotty had surely hit the grave of injun chief.''
 Then it was Doodles place 10 hold up a warning finger, and to say In most impressive tones Look up, Explorers, and you'll see that the clouds have gath cred above us and these here solemn graves So, let-as work in silence. If q single man-jack speaks. blows his nose coughs, sneezes or langhs, he'll be fired from this club of Explorers"
 "Right!'' Good noughtl' Correct you are!" came the responses in hearty voices.
 Now. after I've counted three I'll say 'Dlg!' And let every feler turn his selr loose with his spade or pick Thus commanded Doodles. "One, two, three. Dig!'

A BIRD OF BEAUTY

The beautiful bird known as the bee eater is of gorgeous plumage, the pre- dominating color of its feathers being brilliant green. though a rich red-brown. buf, and black also enter into it's color ing. making m artistic combination most attractive to the eye.
 The female bee-eater makes for her nest ( hole in a bank, or digs a narrow tunnel into level earth to the astonishing depth of 8 or 10 feet. This tunnel-nest shows much ingenuity in construction. The number of the seasons lay ranges from four to six eggs, and these are deposited in the bottom of the hole or tunnel which is used for a nest. There Is no straw, bark, leaves or feathers to soften the nest, the eggs being laid on the hard earth.
 The territory occupied by the bee eaters ranges from the British Islands to Australia, the African region especial ly being plentifully supplied with them. The feet of the bee-eater are peculiarly formed, the middle and outer toes being webbed together to almost their entire length.
 The name ''bee-eater'' is most appro- priate inasmuch as the bird feasts upon bees whenever it gets a chance to do so, md in Spain is real pest to the bee raisers, for 1t hovers about the honey bees hives, catching the luckless insects in great numbers,

''The Boy Explorers were very busy making preparations 10 visit n range of hills several miles distant from town where were to be found a number of old Indian graves "The Boy Explorers had no doubt but that there were buried in these graves many wonderful treasures to be got by said Boy Explorers should they resort to a certain peculiar method of getting at them. said method having been duly explained by Doodle Plnker ton. Leader and Chief 1nstigntor of the little band of boys known ns ''The Boy Explorers" of the town of Dashton.
 The day set for the expedition was Saturday. "The Boy Explorers were up and stirring early, getting together their camping outfit. for they were to spend the night in the hills. doing their digging for hidden treas ure between the hours of shutdown and sunup. in accordance with the certain rules laid down to them by their captain. Doodles.
 hnd explained in an impressive voice. If fe,ler wants to git my hidden treasure from an 1n- Jun grave he's got 10 foller the ancient rules laid down by the Great Chief Spirit The Great Chief Spirit said to his folks that they must always go Into grave between sundown and sunup. And if there were stars they must chant a Injun hymn as they dug. But if the night was dark they wus to never speak a word. If they broke the still silence of the night they would meet with some. thing dreadful-somethlng awful. Maybe the earth might open up and swaller em the diggers after hidden treasure"
 And couldn't feller even sneeze or cough?' asked Bert Day. one of the most enthusiastic Boy Explorers" "Sposen he had a cold?'
 "Then he'd have to stay In camp and not go with the dlggers," said Doodles. "A feller musn't make sound, even sneeze or cough. That would break the charm"
 ''The Roy Explorers did not reach the hills, where the Indian graves were hid den away under two generations of grass and weeds. till late i'll the afternoon. Their first thought was to build camp Are, prepare some supper and refresh the inner boy. They were tired and raven ousIy hungry, and had no time to think of graves and hidden treasures till legs were rested and stoinachs filled. Then they began to talk over their plan of work.
 They put up little tent, fearing to sleep without shelter, for the nights were very cold, it being the first week of De- cember. Inside the tent they arranged their blankets for bedding. hoping to have secured all the hidden treasure held by the sunken, grass-srown graves before the night had advanced very far. Tn. deed, they thought the task before them

 Yes and our father would own lands aSd shops and be good to those who worked for him. He could never. never be cruel with his laborers like the rich lord of the village is with his poor on the land and In the shops" said Bee. Were we rich there would never be hungry person in the land. Wed feed. clothe and warm all the poor
 'Indeed we would" agreed Ben.
 But at this moment the children saw an unusual sight. There, round the point of hill which separated the great factory-or shop-from their own home. came their parents, walking slowly with bent heads. Their attitude bespoke some trouble. Both the children felt that some calamity had befallen their parents. for 1t was yet early in the afternoon and the parents had never before left their place of work before dark.
 What can have happened?' Bee asked the question, knowing at the same time that her brother could not answer her.
 Pretty soon the father and mother reached the door or their cabin. AS they crossed the threshold Bee and Ben saw that their faces were deadly pale. and that their mothers eyes were dim with unshed tears.
 What is 1t. motherT' asked Bee. throwing her arms about her dear mothers neck. Why do you and our father come home before the night brings you?'
 "The lord of the village. and owner of the great shop. has sold his possessions
