and from there to the little parlor, and

table which said, drink me-"
So Jack drank It and began to grow
large again.
Then they went to the door of the
castle where the little fairy boat was
waiting. They jumped In and soon ar

Jack sat up in bed and rubbed his
eyes. Yes, there was the little man

bed and put on his slippers.

weed"
But where will 1 get this suit?"

man, and the next thing Jack knew

the little boat.
The ball of red came nearer and near
er. until at last they were there, and
Jack and his companion stepped out
on a flight of golden steps.
Now" said the fairy to Jack, "this
is where you begin your test to win
your suit. Follow these steps. You
will come to many things you will
want, but do not touch thing. That
is. all | have to tell you, so good-by,"
and he was gone.
Jack found himself alone, and he
was almost ready to burst into tears
when he saw not far from him love-
ly horn.
"oh!" he cied, .just like the one I
saw in the store and wanted so bad"
and he ran towards it. But he re-
membered the fairys warning. so he
passed 1t by.

confronted by great Teddy bear.
You lovely, lovely Teddy, come

when all of a sudden peacefully rum
ming little brook doomed up before his
surprised eyes. Beside the brook was
a fishing rod, some bait, camp stool,
and the loyeliest lunch Jack had ever
seen.
ITS for me, it's for mel" he shout

ping his hands.
He was just going to sit down on
the little stool when he heard the
brook say:

He could not hear the rest, as 1t went
off into a whisper. but he knew what
It meant, so he turned from the lunch.
I'm SO hungry, SO hungry" he
sobbed.

said a sweet voice beside Jack. He
turned and beheld the loveliest fairy.
"You have honorably won your suit,
SO stop. Put it on and continue your
walk to Fairyland," So saying she
handed him the finest little suit of sea
weed she could find.
He put 1t on and started out to
Fairyland. He came to a rock by the
side of the. road and sat down. He
was so tired.

sighed. "Jingle, jingle" came a far
away tinkle.
whats that?" cried Jack, jumping
\ up, and from around the corner came
his two little goats and cart. He
jumped in and continued his journey.
He had many thrilling adventures that
could not be related by my stupid
pen, SO we will leave him to enjoy
them and go back to the place where
he landed and see how be arrived
home.
He came along after awhile and
jumped into the lovely fairy boat. on
the way home he fell asleep to the
soft splash of the little mans oars.
When he awoke he was lying in his
own clean little bed. His mother was
bending over him. He was very dis
appointed to find out it was all a
dream. But ne was glad he was home
safe and sound. Your niece,
