IL girl and lived with an old woman.
This old woman was mean witch
She made Rosebud work very hard and
sometimes she would send hef to bed
without any supper.
One night as she was bringing the
cows home, she felt something pull at
her dress. She looked down and saw
what she thought to be a little frog,
but on closer inspection she saw it was

wondrous change took place Instead
of weeds and briers there was a lovely
green meadow and millions of tiny elfs
and fairies were singing songs such as
she had never heard before.
The fairy that she set free was the
Queen Elva. She took Rosebud by the
hand and led her through the meadow.
Soon they came to, a. lovely mansion,
and the queen said. you must be very
tired. so come into my palace and
rest"
She took the little girl into the pal
ace and gave her something to eat.
While she was eating the palace began
to shake and there at the door stood
the old witch
1t was she who had put the fairy in
the weeds, and she was angry because
she was released. She had her ma gic
wand and touched Rosebud with it and
turned her to stone. She did the same

was the queens maid. When she saw
the old witch coming she ran away
and hid in some bushes outside the
palace.
After the old witch turned the fairies

stone wall spring up around the palace,
covering it from view Then she went

If any one could get that wand they

The fairy told him all about the old

HORSE SHOW A SUCCESS
Bayshore Summer Colony Enjoyed
1t m Spite of Ram.

The leading event of the summer colony at
Bayshore on the north shore Of Long Island,
was the horse show. which occurred on Thurs
day Friday and Saturday, July %. % and "a The
un PIE asant weather of FriGay was the only
feature which in any way married the pleasure
of the affair ard even the heavy rain did not
prevent the lers and drivers from appearing
before the tUt5es. although they were clad in
sIickers and raackintoshes.
On Thursday a large crowd from the hunting
colonies of Meadow Brook, Cedarhurst Iocka-
way and Great Neck arrived in coaches. auto
mobiles and even in motor boats. and IL was
dainty gathering clad in all hues Of summer
raiment that filled the boxes, parkway spaces
and erandstand. The affair was a complete
diversion for society and the occasion was used
to serve a number of pleasant luncheons 70
visitors from the neighboring colonies.
While the entries in the show this year were
not so numerous in recent previous years
the quality Of the animals entered made up for
the lack of larger numbers. as some of the finest
horses In the horse show circuit took part in
the proceedings There were pairs, singles and
tandems; saddle horses. harness horses jumpers
and roadsters with unusually keen competition

On Saturday. which was the big day of the
three the feature of the show the cross

boxes and grandstand into the open TO see the

and stream. The water jump proved too much
for some of chem. and there was scattering
of spectators UheL. several of the animals baked
before the stream and dashed off along the bank,
dangerously near the Onlookers.

NERVE WRENCHING DUEL.
Opponents 1ctcd as Passive Targets
for Half-Minute Periods.

One Of the most cold booded and nerve rack
ing duels record was that fought between
Lieutcnants Granier and Zwitzers, of the Ger
man infantry, near Blanierburg, in the middle
OF last June. Although duellng is nomnally il
legal, this duel was practically aided by the
state, for military court of honor sanctioned
it and arranged the details; two companies of
soldiers guarded the ground and a locomotive
and an ambulance were provided by the
state railroad to transfer the expected victims
to the nearest hospital. The conditions were
alternate shots at ten PAGES. Thirty seconds
were allowed in which to take aim. A misfire
TO count as a shot These were the feat
ures which gave this duel its unusually brutal
character. Each man, according to the condi-
tons, was obliged to stand impassively before
lis opponent for half a minute while the latter
took deliberate aim at him and fired 1t would
be difficult to imagine more nerve racking ex-
pcrience than this.
Granier won the right to first shot but missed
his opponent. It then became his turn to stand
the test of facing unfinchngly pair of eyes
searching out vital spot in his anatomy with
q loaded pistol ready to be fired when the aim
considered exact. He not TO suffer
thing except suspense. however for Zwitzerss
first shot proved a mistire. Hard it to
lose his chance at his opponent in this way, he
had to submit and for a second time undergo
the strain of the long aiming by his opponent.

his shot pierced of his opponents lungs.

The practice of duelling is common through

is prohibited by law in most countries. Duels

those who were in attendance last
evening the occasion was one of the
most enjoyable if not the best of the
series.
At $3.50 o'clock a chicken pie sup
