the farmers surprise when he should
see the big beast roofing where the tiny
pig had been.
But when Mr.. Dandy saw the hog he
gave loud cry that brought his wife
to the door of the farmhouse across
the road.

frightened tone. running down to meet
him.
Matter enough" said he. whats in

Yes. so he is now, but five minutes
ago all I could find in that pen was a
little pig. At least that's what l thought,
and I actually went up to the gypsy
camp and taxed Long John with hav-
ing stolen my hog. OF course he de-
MED 1t and talked about his honesty
and made me feel pretty small. Then
I came back. and there was the hog
as usual. I tell you I can't explain it.
If I was q drinking man I'd lay it to
drink. AS it is I guess I've been work
ing in the sun too long and I'm not
going to do a stroke of work this aft
ernoon."
Harry heard all this with great
amusement, but he was afraid that he
would not be believed If he accounted
for the strange occurrence, so he went
on home to lunch and this time got
there without any further interrupt
tions. On the way he passed Mr..
Smithson's new barn. and there on it's
east side were brilliant and exciting
posters of circus that was to visit
Winston on the 2Sth And today was
the 25th.
Perhaps there would be hippopot-
anus. Yes, there was picture of q
huge one coming out of the river
We'll" said Harry out loud, 'if T
have the power I'll make the audience
see something not down on the pro-
gram"
Touch him with your right hand IL you wish
TO see
Just how small and harmless an animal can be.
Should you wish to make him large OF fierce
once more.
Left hand touch him. and he'll be as he was
before.
All that afternoon his thoughts were
more on the circus than on his books
and when in the course Of the geogra-
ply lesson the teacher asked him how
large hippopotamus was he answered
without thinking, about as large as a
spaniel" at which there was roar on
the part of the boys and girls, and
Harry was kept in until o'clock.

be hidden in his shelter, but he was not
there.
Mr.. Dandy was out and up the road
in a minute, on his way to a gypsy en-
campment. 'Ill bet those gipsies have
stolen my hog" said he to Harry as
he passed him on a run.
When Mr. Dandy was out of sight
Harry ran back to the pen. He sup
posed that this little hog would grow
to its former size IL well fed, but why
give his neighbor all that extra
trouble? No. he would get into the
pen, for he couldn't reach the pig with
out doing so, and touch him with his
left hand, so he'd ."be as he was be-
fore"
The little pig came snuff1ing at his
feet, and Harry stopped over and laid
his left hand on him. when, prestoi
once more the hog was there and
almost on level with Harry's chest.
What's more, he charged at Harry, as
If angry at having been trifled with,
and Ii the boy hadn't kept his pres

might have been trampled under foot
by the angry beast before he could

The encampment was not far off. and

teacher did not know what 1t was The
children filed out, all except two girls
who. more curious than the others,
stayed, and creeping cautiously up,
raised the lid of the stove, and what
do you think they saw? A sparrow
hawk perched upon its tail and nearly
exhausted from fright and want of air.
AS, there was no fire in the stove one
of the teachers removed the sticks OF
kindling wood from the prisoner. An
other teacher, fearing to touch the
bird with her hands, procured a towel

he wouldn't have time to go there and
back before the bell rang.
But as he ran home to lunch he
heard Danby's hog grunting in its pen.
When the hog saw him it scrambled
up the side of the pen and stood on it's
hind legs, smiling fiercely, its small
red eyes hungry looking and it's snout
smiling and shifting as II it thought
Harry would make good meal.
Harry went up to the fence with
green apple In his hand. which he
dropped inside the pen; then, when the
ungainly beast dropped to gobble it.
Harry laid his right hand on his bristly
back and in twinkling there was
nice little pig about as large as a kit
ten, to whom the apple was far too big
a mouthful.
Just then a mans voice said, Hello
Harry isn't that a fine, big fellow?
Don't you think 1 ought to win prize
at Harwinton fair?" Mr.. Dandy, kind
ly and genial. had just come out of his
barn. When he saw the little pig he
said. Hello. how did that get there?
Why. he'll be eaten as sure as guns IL
my hog sees him. Why, where is the
hog?"
Harry did not answer for two rea-
sons. If he told the truth Mr.. Dandy
would not believe him. and he could
think Of no yarn that would satisfy
him. He decided that the best place
for him was home, so he started off.
Mr.. Dandy did not wait for him to an

AIRY KIMBERLY woke up with
- these lines ringing in his ears
He had just been dreaming that
huge hippopotamus was run
ming down hill to play tag
with him, and the size of the beast had
frightened him. He was looking for
some place to hide when out of the air
had come a musical voice, which said
these words

once more.
Left hand touch him, and he'll be as ne was

In his dream the words had given
him courage and he had run up the bill
to meet the huge beast. his right hand
extended, palm out, but just then some
one in the house had slammed a door
and he had walked up.
He liked the sound of the verses and
for fear he might forget them-for
your dream is apt to fade away before
lunch time-he got out Of bed and
wrote them down on the fiyleaf Of his
geography. Then (for he had over

advanced he imagined that his right
hand had sort of strength in 1t that
was unusual and he longed for recess
that he might see If the dream was to
come true in regard to his power.
At noon he ran out faster than any
of the other children and hunted around
for an animal on which to try his
touch. There was COW in field, but
she wasn't fierce. and there was ter
rier at the blacksmith's, but he wasn't
large. He wished that there was
fierce bull on which he might try the
power he suspected he had, but there
was no bull nearer than Jepson's and

One Tuesday morning in one of the
public schools of San Francisco about
l5 minutes before the noon intermis-
sion the children in a certain class
room having finished geography were
filing up the intervening time with
language. The room was so still that
you could hear a pin drop. Just then
a squeaking noise was heard which
sounded like bird inside OF one of the
windows trying TO get out.
The teacher went to the window and
pulled the curtain aside. but found
nothing. Presently the noise was re-

followed his announcement OF Sep

In the meantime concern is ex-
pressed over the condition of DR..
