Art Exhibit A Wonder

Seattle, May "a. The Art Exhibit
of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition
is now covered by insurance to the
amount Of 81, 800, 900. This first policy
was negotiated through the Lloyd's OF
London and covers the principal part
of the collection secured from Euro
pean galleries.
The adjustment of insurance rates
is satisfactorily determined, and in
sures the appearance of a number Of
rare and valuable art specimens which
have not previously been exhibited in
the United States. The Oriental art
displays which are to appear in the
Art Exhibit Hall of the exposition,
will require the placing Of other polio
les nearly equalling the European
amount, and these will be taken out
as fast as the exhibits are installed.
The Fine Arts Exhibit Building of
the exposition is a building Of brick
and steel construction, and is as
near fire proof as is possible to erect.
It is one Of the permanent structures,
and at the close Of the exposition will
be used as the chemistry school Of the
State University Of Washington.

Ann would he alone till near niShtfall.
So they were free to pass the time in
watching for the fairy whom they had
summoned by means of the white-tipped
red cross on the signbOard at the cross
roads. There in the cold snow they
waited for the fairy whom they hoped TO
see soon. After about half an hour of
waiting a soft sound as Of wings caught
their ears and they looked up TO see
lowering near them in tall tree a dainty
form. OF course, they mistook it for
fairy and felt the greatest joy But the
truth was. the form was that of the
wicke,i sprite. and she had come befor.
the real true fairy. All my little ones.
what is your wish?' asked the wicked
sprite, speaking in the assumed voice of
real fairy.
oh. good fairy" said Ann, rising and
looking lovingly up into the wicked
srrite's face. I'VE have come her" to i'm

pasture for our cows and garden for
ourselves. Grain and provisions are CIV

will suffer unless we have an early
spring.
"Ah, my little ones it shall be as you
say" cried the wicked sprite. And she
waved a little stick as though 1t were
o wand. And little Roger and his sister
Ann did not know the difference. Now.

crossroads and went there and made a
~hite-tipped red cross on the sienboard.
Well. on the following day l went to see
if anything would come of it, and just as
I arrived there I saw in tree one whom
I took to be a fairy. But 1 am sure-and
have been ever since the occurrence-that
it was one Of those wicked sprites that
fly about the country to make what mis-
chief they can. Well, she asked me to
make a wish and said it should be fmme-
diately granted. OF course. / made the
wish, which was for a good rain to give
life TO our dying crops. 1t shall pour
rain tonight. my child promised the one
whom 1 took to be fairy. SO. much
pleased with what l supposed my success,
! hurried home to await the promised re-
suit But the night passed without the
sign of cloud. The following day went
by the same. and on went the days, as
dry as bones, without one drop of rain.
And then I concluded had been caught
by a wicked sprite instead Of having seen
a fairy. For fairies never make promises
they cannot keep. I only hope, my dear
children. that you saw the real fairy ana
not a wicked sprite.'
Both little Roger and his sister Ann
felt a bit uneasy over what their mother
told them. How like her own experience
theirs had been. Suppose they had given
their confidence to a wicked sprtte In
stead of a true, good fairy! or course.
the wicked Sprite would go at once TO The
try to persuade him to bring about

"Oh. I am going to run down TO the
crossroads early tomorrow. cried little
Roger: that is, if the day comes out
clear and I'll stay there till real fairy
happens along"
THAT might be a good thing. said the
mother. IF it really was true fairy.
though. there'll be no need of your going

sprite. You shall have a cloudy day to-
morrow
OF course little Roger and his sister
Ann went to their home in the happiest
of moods. They had seen and talked
with fairy. and she had promised them
an early spring.. That meant great
deal to the poor peasants in that part
of the country. for everywhere the last
years crops had been short ana there
would be much want should the winter
be prolonged.
When the father and mother of little
Roger and his sister Ann returned from
the village they found their two children
in most happy frame of mind. and as
soon as they could sit beside the fire
place they were told the entire story of
the cross on the signbOard and the re-
suit of it.
''Ah. an early spring will bring us
plenty" cried the good father. We
have enough to serve till the grass
and the garden come again. if the spring
brings them early. All, the fairies are
good to us at times. bless them!'
AYE, aye" responded the good mother.
But ii would not have awaited us any
thing had / gone to the crossroads to
see the fairy, for luck is always against
me in that matter"
'Hows that" asked little Roger and
his sister Ann in one voice.
why, II is this way explained their
mother. "Once upon time, long, long
ago, l thought to try charm at the
