flesh and bone person."
Eyes, the fairies all have stomachs," "
laughed big fairy, funny fellow, who
was always going about in the book dis
guished as a clown. "We've stomachs
and"
Tongues to clatter too much with"
put in pretty little fairy Miss who was
seated beside the clown. NOW, will you
remain quiet until called upon to speak,
sirf' she added laughingly.
"a feast, a feast, a feast!" cried
chorus of voices from the tree limbs
"Queen Nab, give US a feast!'
The little old queen smiled indulgently
on her band of fairies and waved her
wand about In front OF her. Immediately
there appeared-as If rising from the very
earth-a table spread with all the good
things to eat that child or fairy could pos
sibly wish for. And In another minute
Oracle having been invited by the queen
to act as hostess at the banquet board,
was doing the honors of the table. About
her gathered fairies Of every description,
old, young, little, big and great. At her
right hand sat Sissy, pouring nectar from
golden pitcher into tiny glasses, and on
her left was Mabel who was serving
strawberries rolled in powdered sugar and
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-28

swimming in yellow cream. A great pyr-
amid of cake and ice cream held the cen->
tire of the table and was piled about by
fruits, candies and dozen other kinds OF
delicacies so appetiElng to children and
fairies.
But just as Oracle lifted a plate Of
sugared cookies to pass to her guests
something bit her on the cheek. She half
arose-looked about her in a dazed way.
Then she rubbed her eyes and scratched
the smarting place on her cheek where
nasty mosquito had bitten her moment
ago. But-where were the fairies? And
where was the banquet table? Oracle
again rubbed her eyes and then bethought
her OF the dolls. They were lying on the
ground near her. She spoke to each In
turn, but they made no reply. Then
Oracle looked toward the big book OF
fairy tales. 1t was open at page where
she had been reading to her dollies Just
little while ago. All. had she been
asleep? But, no, they-the fairies-had
surely been there. 1t was that borrid old
mosquito that had Heightened them back
inside the book-coyers and stolen away
Sissy's and Mabel's voices. Slowly Oracle
got to her feet and looked libout her,
Then with genuine feeling she said: "Well,
1 may have been dreaming, but believe
In fairies just the same"

but guess I've lost the day. Wen call
1t Off, IL you want to-" he added shame
facedly. "If Hank insists-why, l guess
I'll have to fight; but after being thrown
by that brute I'm not In condition to
fight; honest, I'm not"
admit then, that you've been tested
and come out the worse for It," said
Hank. "If you'll fess up that you've
been a bully and a bragger I'll call on
the fight. If not-well. you've got to
pull yourself together and come on"
"Let 1t stand as you say," said Tom,
not raising his eyes to the faces Of those
assembled about him. Then, without an
other word he arose and went of over
the hill homeward.
Jeering laughs followed him; but even
though the boys enjoyed his undoing, for
they knew he deserved 1t, they were too
honorable to taunt him with the days
contest" afterwards. And true 1t Is,
that Tom never Dragged another time,
and as the years rolled round he became
a very quiet and well-behaved boy, we'll
liked by his fellows, for he never forgot
the lesson he had learned nor the hu-
initiation which attended its learning.

seated himself on the limb of tree.
There he sat, dangling his legs to and
fro, humming a merry tune. And soon
many of the other fairles-the younglsh
ones-followed Hop -OverMy- Thumbs ex-
ample, and the fine old tree swarmed
with fairy life.
''Well, why shouldn't we turn some Of
these little pebbles into chairs and di-
vans?" asked the princess Lala. What
Is the good of being fairy If one doesn't
use the fairy's power?" And as she spoke
she waved her wand about her and there
rose from among the pebbles scattered
about on the ground easy chairs and COM
Portable divans. Then the entire company
which must have comprised fifty fairies
in all-found seats.
We've come to tell you how much we
appreciate your love for u.s." said one
of the fairies, smiling on Oracle. I'VE
don't know of another child in the whole
surrounding country who enjoys us more
than you do.'
And / enjoy you in real life much
more than do in that big book" de-
clared Oracle "And every day / read
about you to my dolls, Sissy and Mabel.
You see, although my dolls do not talk
they can understand me-" she added, see
Ing that several of the fairies looked at
Sissy and Mabel who were lying on the
ground.

dollies talkT' asked the old fairy queen,
addressing Oracle.
"Oh, that would be perfectly lovely"
Oracle cried, running to Sissy and Moho1
and sitting them up against the tree.

er, but he'll make up for that deficiency
in alertness. He's a dandy with boxing
| gloves on, l can toll you"
"Oh. as for the broncho," said Tom,
! trying to appear undisturbed at the idea,
"I'll not refuse to show you all what
can do with him. I'll agree to ride him
! If Hank does so. I'll not promise to ride
him If he's unbroken,-but If Hank rides
him to town. why, I'll show you that
can mount him and ride him clean down
to the river"
But you know what all the boys will
say II you refuse to meet Hank In the
ring, said Walt There are good
many who already doubt your nerve and
strength. Some of the boys say you
always find some excuse to slip out of
proving your mettle. Now, that a boy
worthy of your notice has made the chal-
lenge you'll have to come up like man
or retreat like a-coward."
"I'll never retreat like a coward" de-
clared Tom, a blush covering his face.
But Hanks so small you know. 1t don't
seem fair for me to tackle him.
"Oh, we'll all declare him quite your
equal" cried Walt. 1T isn't always big
ness that counts, remember. Hank is
well-made and can give all that you care
to take while he's receiving what you
cure TO give.
'Al right, then" said Tom. But he
did not speak In his usual boastful voice.
Then, saying that he had to perform an
errand for his father he said goodbye
to Walt and Frank and hurried away,
with an almost frightened look on his
face.
You see, he's weakening ut the very
outset" laughed Wait. MY, he does
need a big dose to cure him of his big
Dragging which is done merely 10 cover
his real innate cowardice. Well, think
he'll draw In his horns for good after
this experience
Yes, for he wouldn't be a bad sort of
fellow If he were not such a conceited
one" admitted Frank. We'll probably
be doing him the greatest service Of his
life up to date by curing him OF his
boastful, overbearing ways"
Saturday-the day ON which the bravery
and strength of Dragging Tom" we've
to be tested-cnme at last, though TO
some of the town boys 1t seemed veiy
slow in doing so. The meeting between
Tom and Hnnk-"bragging Tom" and
wildcat Smell was arranged to take
place on the baseball ground outside the
town at two o'clock, and long before that
time a dozen boys-friends of both sides
were assembled.
By two o'clock every boy except Tom
had arrived. Hank had come on his

Dragging Tom and His Undoing
BY WILLIAM WALLACE, JR.

Tom Collins lived in the town of Green
ville pretty little place that was To-
Gated In a western state not so very far
from the Rocky Mountains. He was a
big chap for his fourteen years, and
prlded himself nightly on his strength
and bravery. Indeed. so much did Tom
boast that his friends had begun to call
him Dragging Tom," much to the young
fellows dlspleasure. However, he was
not displeased enough to quit his ugly
habit OF Dragging.
At school Tom would boast that he
could whip any boy of his size in the
county; but once free of the playground
and on territory where there was no rule
against his displaying his prowess, should
some victim come forward to help him
out, Tom never felt inclined to prove his
boastful words. And many had been the
boys-fearless little men in their wild,
western way-who had stood up to Tom
and declared they were willing to be
'Iarruped" in good old fashion-if Tom
was capable Of doing ito let him prove
to his friends and admirers that he was
the best man for his age In the county.
But Tom would toss his head and say:
"Gee whiE, boys, could thrash any
two Of you at the same time with one
handi 1t wouldn't be fair, you see, for
one Of my muscle to tackle chaps of your
make. No-o-o; just you wait till one
of them herd-boys from the divide comes
down to town on his bucking broncho.
Then I'll fix him-if he's man enough to
take dare an let me-"
And It was this boastful threat against
some possible innocent herd-boy who
might be induced to clench fists with
Tom that brought about the Dragging fel-

broncho, gentle-looklng little animal
that stood, head down, resting after his
long gallop across the prairie. After
waiting for the tardy Tom some fifteen
minutes II was decided by the boys to
appoint a committee to wait upon him
and ascertain the cause of his delay; but
just at this juncture Tom was seen COM
ing slowly over the hill that lay be-
tween the ground and town. AS he
neared the crowd the boys were not sur
prised to see look of uncertainty on his
usually bold face. He came up to them,
nodding his head to them collectively.
Hello, boys" he said in a weak voice,
but attempting to be Indifferent to the
cause Of the gathering. Then he waited
for someone to speak.
We'll here l am," said Hank, stepping
forward. ''Shall we begin now, or do
you want to rest7"
"Oh, guess we'd better begin at once"
said Tom, his voice really quiverlng.
"But-don't you think you've made a
mistake in agreeing to box with me?
I'm pretty muscular, You see." And he
drew up his arm, displaying quite lump
Of muscle.
Yes, you've got the better of me in
that respect admitted Hank. But I'm
not afraid but what l can hold my own.
I'm built of iron, / am. But what did
you say boxing for? I've understood we
are to fight" And Hank looked Tom
square in the face.
Nope, / won't fight" said Tom, his
face reddening. "I'll put on the gloves
with you and box for five rounds. But
l don't believe in fighting"
Several boys hooted and sneercd at this.
"Why do you always boast that you can
lick any boy Of your size in the county
If you don't believe in fighting?' cried
one bystander. You've always been the
loudest In wanting to hght-not box!
Come, don't back down and out now"
Tom was beginning to show his fright.
From red his face had become pale.
"Well," he faltered, turning about and
looking for some sympathetic face, "I'll
not back out, won't But let's ride the
broncho first. I'm not feeling well to-
day Give me n drink, there Walt"
After he had refreshed himself with a
dipper of water Hank agreed to 'humor'
him by riding first, thus testing his abil-
ity in the line of horsemanship. Hank
jumped into the saddle, and touching his
broncho-trained to the work-with his
whip the animal Immediately arose on
his hind legs, then pitched forward on
his fore legs, then doubled up till his
back resembled the half of a hoop. But
Hank, an expert, never moved from his
place on the doubling animals back.

lows undoing. Two of Toms comrades
herd-boy type. His name was Hank
Smell, and while he was shy on height
and weight as compared with Tom Col
Inns he was a wiry fellow and as agile as
a two-legged animal can possibly be. This
fact was proven by his friends about the
ranch nicknaming him wildcat Smell.
One day while Hank was busy at work
on his fathers ranch his two town
cousins, Frank and Walt Turner, camo
out to pay him a visit. 1t was the day
following the closing Of the town and
county schools, so the boys were free to
have a jolly good time together, feeling
that the long summer days were theirs
for play and freedom from books As the
three wandered over the hills and through
the ravines their talk turned upon the
boys Of their acquaintance and their char
acteristics In general. Then 1t was that
Frank and Walt told their cousin of
Dragging Tom," and declared that they
wished he-Hank-would challenge Tom
to a fair fist contest. "Its this way"
said Frank, that cowardly brapger
would find some excuse to get out of the
contest, and 1t would completely cure him
Of that detestable Dragging. He'd bully
up at first and say that he'd meet you at
any time and place; and more than that.
he'd probably warn you that you'd better
have an assistant in case you feared to
enter the ring with him alone. That's
his method, you know, Dragging and
doing nothing"
Hank laughed over the matter and
pledged his willingness to FIX" Dragging
Tom If that were necessary to show him
up In his true colors before his friends
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-28

though his CITATIONS were something ter
rible to see.
After five minutes of bucking most
hercely the broncho started on the run
over the hill. and 1t was with an effort
that Hank brought him to a standstill.
Then, guiding him carefully, he came
riding back to the group Of boys. He
dlsmounted and invited Tom to come and
take his turn. Tom stepped forward,
look of resigned resolution on his face.
He trembled and was pale as Hank as
sisted him into the saddle. In another
minute ne was on the ground In
bunch, having been tossed over the buck
ing bronchos head at the first bound.
AS Frank and Hank assisted him to rise
he wiped the dust from his face, saying
In fearful voice: 81 can't ride that
brute, l can't I confess I'm defeated"
Then he choked with tears and wiped
his eyes on his sleeve.
well, you are not defeated in the
fight with Hank yet" encouraged one
of the boys. Here, come and show us
that you are not put down and out so
easy"
But Tom shook his head despairingly.
II amt a coward, kids" he whimpered;
Los Angeles herald., 1907-07-28

and acquaintance. mot that l believe
In fighting for the sake of fighting" he
explained, "but II little fist contest Is
necessary to make a decent boy out of n
braggart I'm in for giving him the med
icine. But homeopathic doses Is my
style"
''Oh. don't think 1t will ever come to a
show down." laughed Walt. Dragging
Tom is too much of n coward to ever
tackle-or be tackled by-a boy of
strength and nerve. He's just a boaster.
All We'll have to do-Tm quite sure-ls
to bluf him a bit and he'll show the
white feather pretty quickly. OF course
should he feel forced to make good In
the presence of his friends, then you'll
have to administer to him the homeo-
pathic dose In the shape of a few taps
about the ears. He'll call for quarter
soon enough"
The following week Dragging Tom"
was going down the street when he heard
Walt and Frank Turner calling after him.
He paused and waited for them to join
him. After a few words about fishing
and the last game Of base ball Tom said:
Say, / got a note from your cousin Hank
Smell the other day. He says that he's
heard I'm called the strongest boy Of my
age in the county. He said also that he
nHu Qeuru ulHQe I0e DOdSL InHI L COulu
whip any boy of my weight in the county
and ride any bucking broncho that ever
trotted over the Western plains. He
says he's to be in town Saturday and
wants to meet me in fair and square
contest of fighting strength, and that he'll
bring a bronchO with him that nobody
but himself has ever dared to mount. He
says he dares me to try riding this
broncho and finishes that by daring me
to meet him In the ring. But, pshaw,
I've seen your cousin Hank and he is
too small a potato for me to even box
with, let alone fight"
well, as for Hanks size" remon-
strated Walt, hes a better man than
you, I'll wager a good deal. He's as
strong as most kids of twice his size; SO
you need not have any hesitancy about
sending him a counter challenge. And rs
for riding his bucking broncho-well, I've
heard you say there wasn't one in the
entire West that could scare you off, But
as I've never seen you on horseback I'm
no judge of what you can do in that
line"
And as we've heard you talk n good
deal about your ability to knock out any
boy of your strength and size In the
county" said Frank, well now have the
opportunity of seeing you prove your
statement. "Of course, Hank isn't quite
your size, being some shorter and light

tops and peas. But never allow him too
much green food at time. A little BOILED
potato may serve him for dinner on some
occasions. Put a little sulphur in his
food about once week. This prevents
scurvy and dry rot. Half a pint OF pure
water should be his portion for the day.
Too much liquid is not good for rabbits,
and many persons who are authority on
the subject of feeding them give much
less than that when any green food Is
given. But 1 am inclined to think 1t
half pint Of pure water and the fourth
of a pint of sweet milk-the former to
be served in the evening and the latter
at noon after the carrots-is not too
much. Bunny should be watched closely
and prevented from eating too much
Learn from observation just how much
bo will eat at a meal and leave no food
standing for him to MUNICH on between
times. An underfed animal will prove
healthier than an overfed one. But it is
better, and more humane, to strike the
happy medium.
Rabbits should be kept in pairs, that
is to say, one should not be kept alone,
for 1t is natural that they should want
their own sort for companions, and If
not provided with mates will become
dull and unlnteresting. In keeping pet
animals always have the welfare and
happiness Of the little captives at heart.
A large grassy yard should be convenient
FOR them to frolic In. and 1t Is advisable
to have the hutch kept In Lch a place
during the summer months SO that the
bunr'es may frolic about at will. They
must be guarded against cats and dogs.
