But were she to do so,' said Maidie.

mo such thing. But when men have
women with 'em don't they look out TO
see they don't get hurt?''
Midgie seemed much impressed with
these words and pressed on more
bravely than before.
''Tibbie!" she shrieked, "here's
fairy's pedestal table now, and ever so
many little stools around it. Now say
that there are no fairies"
They're Indian pipes,'' said Tibbie
Now, Tibbie Tarpet, you know In
dians couldn't smoke such little pipes"
They are fungus, like the toad
stools" said Tibbie, "for my father has
told me so.''
'Tibbie Tarpet, you are just as hate
full as you can be. I believe you don't
want there to be any fairies
Yes. I do, if there really could be.

lid is on the cup" said Midgie.
An ACORN said Tibbie.
"Acorn!'' shifted Midgie. Corn is

And acOrnS are brown said Tibbie
But just here they came out into a
little clearing, and right in the center
an old stump was spread over with a
white cloth and all kinds of good
things were on it to eat, while on little
blocks sat little figures around the
table.
Tibbie looked dumfounded, but Mid
gle jumped up and down, clapping her
hands and shouting: Didn't 1 tell you
so? Didn't I tell you so?" then a lit
tie bell tinkled somewhere and little
voices shouted: "Come to dinner. Tib-
bic. Come to dinner, Midgie,' and
when the children drew up wondering
ly to the table they found the little
folks around the table were Tibbie AMI

and their dolls.

she said. slowly: where is baby
brother? Well, I wonder. Isn't he in

No." declared Bessie, her uneasiness
growing. "And neither is he in papa's
room nor in mine. I've looked every
where for him.

to wipe the dust from a mirror, Il

say you did not want baby brother and

of the room; have heard of such
things
''Oh-o!" And Bessie's heart stood
still. "Oh, Maidie, a witch wouldn't
do a thing like that" she cried, her
voice trembling. "Oh, couldn't bear to

There are no bears or wildcats, -

I'll go a hunting and you can look for

and he placed a stout stick in Midgie's
hand and took an old hatchet in his.
What do we want these things for?''
asked Midgie.
"To kill 'em if we find 'em.''
"Why ee! Tibbie!'' cried Midgie.

So Miss Bayard inquired and took her way to the
Kali Chat. Presently she found herself being swept
along in stream of humanity, the like of which you
will not find outside Benares. With whole families
went the last black skinned and dark eyed baby.
Rubbing shoulders with lean whining beggars were
fat merchants. Then there dancing women,

not much larger than big dogs, fakirs bowling make

1t was certainly not the kind of crowd that ought

to have formed part of the
itinerary of a young woman
from Cincinnati; but, since
Miss Bayard had mixed her
self up in it, she was forcibly
carried onward toward the
towering portals of the Kali
Temple. In the dark passage
of the gate there was a short
period of frightful squeeze
and turmoil. Then Miss
Bayard was thrust out into
the light of a wide court,
whence descended the long
flights of steps leading TO a
sweeping platform, which, in
turn, slOped gently into the
glstening but extremely
dirty Ganges.
As far as her eyes could
reach vast piles of temples
and palaces rose from both
banks, while thousands of
pilgrims splashed in the life
giving waters. As the crowd
spread out on the steps, she
was able to diSentangle her
self. and stood for some
moments as much fascinated
by the scene as she was
confused by her recent ex-
perience. Gazing round at
Obj-cts in her immediate
vicinity, her glance fell on
the one she sought, her yogi

she was drawn back into total darkness. For the
next few moments she was half dragged half car

passage to be thrust into some interior chamber
with the sound of dooI being bolted upon her re-

Potter's itinerary.
When Miss Bayard recovered from a temporary
