street car, and you can ride round to the other side. You know the street car bridge is all right. The high water didn't hurt it."
 So 1t was decided that Tom, Ada. Pearl and Buddy" should walk over to the street ear line, take the car to the end of the line, which would carry them across the creek half mile farther down stream" The little maid. sister of Buddy, said she would hurry home ''and tell mamma all about brothers ter rible fall into the water, and how a brave old doggie had saved his life"
 And as the children walked through the paeadow, the warm sunshine drying both boy and dog they talked of the courage of old Hunkey Dorey. "Oh, how lucky that you brought the old dear, exclaimed Ada, speaking of Hunkey- Dorey to her brother. And Pearl and l didn't want the darling old fellow along. How mean of us"
 'Yes, but I'll always want the dear old Hunkey in future" declared Pearl. He was the bravest of the crowd. He never stopped to think over the possibin- ties of danger to his own life, but only saw that someone was In distress, and felt that he could save him. Oh, you dear old fellow.' And Pearl. in her en- thusiasm, stopped and kissed old Hunkey- Dorey on the forehead. And the old dog gie seemed to understand, for in his eyes was pleasure at being so graciousy treated, and with a wag of his tail he seemed to say: ''It makes me very happy to be made comrade of and to have those l love appreciate so fully any act of kindness I may perform"
 And you may be sure that "Buddy's" parents felt most grateful to the old HunkeyDorey who had saved the life of their little son, but felt aggrieved that they could not better express their gratitude to both master and dog. But they pressed many little gifts on Tom, Ada and Pearl, and begged them to visit them often during the summer and fall and said that Hunkey Dorey must al- ways accompany them, for he should be "the guest of honor"

Where the Squirrel Led the Little Captive

splashing fountain. They stole into the yard, creeping close to where the child sat, singing to himself some old nursery rhyme he had heard his nurse sing. When they had gotten close enough to the little unsuspecting one they threw a thick cloth over his head, one of them grabbed him in the arms, smothered his cries by heavy hand and hurried out of the garden. And all the time the nurse slept on, the splashing of the fountain making such noise that she had not been awakened by the intrusion of the kidnappers.
 Out of the town the gipsy men hurried, taking turns In carrying the little boy, who sobbed softly, too much frightened by the dark-visaged mems threats to make loud outcries. When they reached their camp on the rivers bank two of the women and a man packed some provisions, took a pack horse and started while 1t was still night for some hidden haunt in the mountains carrying with them the little boy. The others of the gipsy band remained In camp on the river, thus throwing off any suspicion should the towns officers search among them for the stolen child. It would never occur to the searchers that some of the band had hurried away, taking the child with them to some secret place.

save the little boy." walled both Ada and Pearl. "Oh, brother. what can we do?'
 Tom had begun to jerk of his shoes and coat, intending to try reaching the little boy, for it was plain the child could not swim. Tom was a pretty fair swimmer, though not an expert, and he feared he could not swim through such turbulent water with burden weighting his shoulders But he meant to try It. for he was a brave fellow, and would not hesitate to go into all sorts of danger to give assistance to one in peril.
 Just as Tom was about to plunge into the creek the little boy was knocked under the water by an unusually big mass of drifting debris. And at the same instant old Hunkey- -Dorey leaped from the top of the high bank into the stream. landing plump beside the little boy who at the instant arose above the water, wildly laundering.
 In another instant the brave old dog had the little lads coat between his teeth and was swimming ashore with his bur den.
 The task was no easy one for the cur rent was swift; besides the difficulty to be met with In the form of driftwood. But old Hunkey-Dorey made the bank, and Tom and Ada assisted the little boy to reach safe footing on dry land. As soon as he could shake the water from his eyes and ears he said: What good old doggie." And then he fell to caress- ing old Hunkey-Dorey, regardless of the fact that the old dog was shaking the water from him in veritable showers.
 The little maid on the opposite bank stood laughing. she was so happy to see her little brother safe on shore once more. Say, Buddy" she called across the stream, ''how will you ever get back on this side of the creek? You mustn't try walking over on the foot log, you know. And you can't swim.'
 The little Buddy" looked worried. True, how would he ever get back on his home side the water? But Tom came to his relief. Well take you over to the

 The woman turned towards him, looking into his face to see whether he were awake. But Denny lay with his eyes tightly closed, pretending to be asleep. ''The kid sleeps like the dead" said the woman. Hell not wake for hours, for he's worn out. So I'll just slip after them and see whether or not they are going for berries or to sit idly beside some spring, billing and cooing, while do the work. An, jealous am l. my Princess? We'll, jealous enough to put cold point of steel against your throat If you ever bother me too much.'
 Then, taking an old shawl from corner of the cave the woman carefully put 1t over Denny and then departed from the cave.
 A few minutes after she had gone Denny rose, wrapped the shawl about him, for he thought 1t might be of use to him in making good his escape, and went soft ly from the cave. He looked all about him to be sure that the woman was out of sight of the cave. Then he started down the mountain side as fast as his little feet would carry him. But before he had gone very far he came to a preci- pice which he could not cross. He turned to retrace his steps when he beheld Q tirY squirrel Derched on the limb of a

the mountain slde the tiny squirrel still leading. Toward noon Denny became very hungry, and he saw the squirrel stop he seemed to invite Denny to partake of them, which the little fellow did. Then they again set out down the mountain side.
 About 8 o'clock in the afternoon Denny, footsore and weary, was about to fall exhausted to the ground, when he heard a human voice calling out: ''No signs of the child hereaboutsl We must go in an- other direction" ''Yes. let's go south ward" came reply, called out by some one nearer by. Then Denny raised up his little voice and cried: Here I am! Here l am'' And then he fell to the ground unconscious.
 An hour later he opened his eyes to ind himself in his own dear mothers arms, and in his own beautiful home, his father sitting beside him. And then he told of how the gipses had stolen him from the yard while the nurse slept, and how he had been led safely down the mountain side by dear little squirrel And when his mother heard this she said:
 "I have often heard that fairies come in the form of squirrels and birds, and I believe the squirrel that led our Denny to us was a real little mountain fairy. And now, my dear" she added to Denny. you must have some dinner. and then nap, for you have had very exciting experience. And the gipsies shall all Le taken into custody and be made to pay the penalty for their crimes.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-08-29

After a long way up the mountain the three gipsies entered closegrown thicket of brush and vine, vending their way very carefully through it to the entrance of a cave. Here they put the little captive child on the floor and bade him, in rough tones, to go to sleep, after which they would give him some breakfast for it was now morning and the sun was peep ing through the mountain crevices. The child. whose name was Denny, closed his weary eyes and from sheer exhaustion. caused from fear, fell asleep When he awoke an hour later he overheard one of the women and the man Quarreling. You always put the worst part of the job of kid stealth on me-" the woman was saying. And what do I ever git out of 1t but kicks and blows? Why cannot your ladylove, the Princess there, be put in charge of the child, for I cared for the last two-till they sickened and died?"
 The "Princess." the woman referred to- was the second woman who had gone UT the mountain with Denny. And at the moment she was lying on a soft bed of leaves, undoubtedly arranged by the man, for he was paying her many little atten- tions even while he quarreled with the other woman.

 ''Yes, but he seems to be growing un- certain about his footing,-hes getting dizzy See. he is
 But Ada did not finish her sentence. for at that moment the little boy. who had started to walk over the footlog. lost his balance and fell into the raging and swollen stream below. Three shrieks went up from three little girls, Ada, Pearl and the little maid who was in company with the little boy and who was standing close to the end of the footlog preparatory to stepping upon 1t as soon as her small chubby companion should reach the oppo- site bank.
 Tom. the only cool-headed child, ran with all possible speed down the steep bank toward the spot where the little boy had fallen in. But when he reached the edge of the water he was uncertain
