Ridiculous" exclaimed Alice
Who ever heard of a golden nose?'
Nobody" answered the clown
THAT is what / tell his widow. 1t
is not because it can not be, but here
it is! 1t is all solid gold, except what
amt"
How foolish you talk" said Alice.
Are you saying anything at all or
nothing?"
HE could never blow it-that is one
thing certain said the clown ruefully;
but it is very beautiful-an aquiline
yes? His once own one that he lost
was a snub.''
How odd" said Alice. DO drop
your nose in the box and have done
with it,"
Il will call tomorrow for the
change" said the clown. 1T will be a
very much for such heavy nose
Others crowded up close upon his
heels. Women brought their watches,
men brought their rings and their
medals. 1t was fine thing to save a
mans life or win a fight. but 1t was
fine, too to have coin in the pocket.
There will never be any heirlooms
anywhere for anybody" said Alice.
sadly. She clasped on her bracelet and
her locket.
You shant get my things, that is
one thing certain" she said, and she

desk and ran after the man with the
little iron boxes.
Il want to see where all these things
are going" she said.
The ogre was over the counter and
after her in jiffy.
What do you think of the near
Midas?" he asked painting little from
his exertion.
"Oh, he's every inch king" said
Alice. 1T is really too bad that crowns
have gone out of fashion. He would
look fine in a crown. But hurry. up.
| want to see where you make your
gold"
Make gold?" said the ogre, frowning.
How very stupid you are, after, all,
Don't you know that alchemists labored
for centuries to make gold, and not one
of them ever succeeded?"
You are stupid yourself said Alice.
"The dwarf man spun gold from flax
without any trouble at all If you
don't know that, you don't know any
thing"
The ogre pushed her into a big room.
Ooh my" said Alice. These men
aren't dwarfs, they are giants. No

Now watch the gold specks as they fly.
The girls aprons catch most OF the
specks, but some will fly off in the air.
Alice had very keen little eyes.
"Oh, myi The golden specl<s are all
sitting down on the carpet" she said.
The chief nodded his head.
"And that is the main point about the
carpet. Get down and look at it"
Alice got down on her hands and
knees and looked very closely.
1T is a spangled carpet" she said.
'Spangled with gold How lovely to
have the caliphs carpet all spangIed
with goldi"
I'VE are just about to take it up,
said the chief He signaled to the prin-
cesses- They all stopped work. shook
their aprons and ran out of the room.
Then he signaled to the lackeys, and
they fell to taking up the carpet. Alice
tugged away at one corner, but it'would
not tear.
Let it alone" sad the ogre; 1T is
no good until it is burned. anyway"
"Oh, you shan't burn the caliphs
carpet she said. her eyes flashing.
But they whisked it right over her
head. She would have been buried in
the dust. if the near Midas had not
pulled her away. The laekeys rushed
down stairs with the carpet. and the
chief and Alice raced after them. The

and. presto-it was crushed into the
largest crucible.
Alice chung to the near Midas and
sobbed.
"oh. you wicked, wicked king-to
burn the caIiphs carpet
But it is only the gold in it that
matters" explained the chief I'VE had
to burn it TO get the gold. Then he
spoke to the tallest giant
How much did you get this time?"
The giant saIuted with his heavily
gloved hand.
About $4,000, I think, sir
Doesn't that beat any carpet you
ever heard about?" asked the ogre. "It
is better than some mines"
Just then Alice rubbed her eyes very
hard and looked around: for there in
the doorway stood the Cheshire cat.
You foolish. foolish girl, said the
cat. Il knew you'd lose your way
This is not a kings palace 1t is only
the San Francisco mint"
Then it wasn't the caHph's carpet
that they burned?" asked Alice, drying
her tears very suddenly.
"of course not said the cat. 1T

do dwarf men bring it in?"
Goodness! No! But some of the
people who drop in here are quite as
odd as the things they bring. They
bring bangles, spangles, watches
everything under the sun-for the big
melting pots. And we give them gold
coins in exchange for their trophies"
Alice took off her bracelet her locket,
her earrings and her pins.
Would you melt these down and
stamp them for me?" she asked
Certainly" answered the chief Run
quick and drop them into one of the
little iron boxes"
Alice ran. but whole line of people
were ahead of her.
THE train from Dawson is in," said
the ogre. You sit up on the desk and
watch
The first in line was a tall pale
woman She had dipped her hair in
the wrong solution and it had come out
green instead of yellow. Alice did so
want to tell her about the golden
stamp, but she was afraid it might not
work in this case. The woman was
fumbling something in her hands 1t
ratified down on the desk and even the
ogre's eyes nearly popped out of his
head. 1t was a belt made of gold mug
gests, strung together on fine golden
chains. The buckle was of hammered
ANo Nt9 q aiiOeo piece Ol WOTk.
You surely don't intend this for the
melting pot?" inquired near Midas
kindly.
The woman nodded her head
Sure. Things like this are all
right when times are flush; but the
coin will be more handy just now.
Every one of those classy nuggets
came out of the same mine and the
chap that gave them to me won't ever
miss one of them. Weigh her up AMI
put her in.''
What an extremely queer prin-
cess, said Alice. Il am sure she is
bartering away the crown Jewels"
The princess was jostled from her
place by clownish looking man. He
held small object wrapped and re-
wrapped in tissue paper He tore off
the wrappings and disclosed to view a
golden nose heavily inlaid with porce-
lain.

said
"Am right" said the ogre. little
less GROSSLY; but you must not call
him Midas to his face. Call him Judge
Sweeny. He was a judge before they
gave him the golden stamp"
'Of course" said Alice. all kings
are judges. But why did they give
him the golden stamp? Was he very
good and very brave and very wiser
Certainly" said the ogre; but that
isn't the reason they gave him the
stamp. Besides, ii doesn't do him any
particular good, nor the magic carpet
either"
Alice stopped short.
You are the most mixed person I
ever met" she said. Cant you remem-
Der anything right? The magic carpet
belonged TO the caliph. and any time
he stepped on it it flew with him
wherever he wished
"Heavens." exclaimed the ogre. You
are mixed yourself. This carpet can't
fly: it is nailed down. But a piece of

And how far would the whole of it

"Oh, almost anywhere. All around

Alice clapped her hands.
"Oh, it is the caliph's carpet" she
exclaimed. Il am going to try TO get
it upr' And she was so excited that
she rushed right in to the presence of
the near-Midas without SO much as
tap on the door.
The near-Midas was sitting al a desk,
hunlming a tune and playing with
paper weight. Alice reached out for
the paper weight. It was very heavy,
but it was not gold.
why don't you stamp it?" she asked.
The ogre laughed, and he and the
near-M Midas winked at each other very
expressively.
We'll, them, said Alice, getting
somewhat cross herself, where do you
keep your gold? 1 don't see any"
"Oh, keep that in the miser's cave"
said the near Midas, and he tapped on
the desk with a ruler Two of the
kings guardsmen rushed in. Alice
knew them for guardsmen at once, al
though they were heavily disguised
and answered to improbable names.
They were the good Sir Knight Haw-
kins and the brave Sir Courtier Leach.
To the miser's cave" said the chief,
and the two guardsmen lined up, one
on either side of Alice. The chief
marched in front and the ogre brought
up the rear. 1t was very funny

The gold had been nodded into great
bars or bricks and they were piled up
on one side of the cave. There was
room for plenty more.
How much is it all WORTH" asked
Alice, waving her arms around the
cave.
sixteen million dollars" said the
first guardsman.

chanted Alice. although the chant had
nothing to do with the story. But it
did look like a pirates plunder.
There is $3.50, 1000 on the truck said
the second guardsman, and Alice
promptly sat on thetruck
Now wheel me out" she said But
the men stood still, just like sphinxes,
so Alice walked out herself. Anyway,
she thought she would prefer the magic

very heavy.

asked.

TT was d very mixed fairy tale that
the ogre told. The ogre was a pleas
ant, genial person to talk to. which
was a contradiction at the start The
only ferocious things about him con-
sisted Of a big silver badge, some brass
buttons and his steely eyes. He fixed
those eyes on the small Alice, who tried
70 creep in the door quite unobserved.
She was not seeking the March hare
or the halter, but the golden fleece,
which was a queer thing for Alice to
be seeking at any time in any place.
The ogre shook his head when she
asked him about it. They had not had
a golden fleece for years and years. he
said
1T is all due to the watch dog, I
suppose" she remarked.
There isn't any watch dog" laughed
the ogre. only the telltale scales"
You mean the telltale harp" cor
rected Alice, "and that belonged to the
giant. Don't you remember it was a
fairy, and called out, Master: MASTER
when Jack tried to steal it?''
The telltale scales are smarter, -
said the ogre. They call out, Master.
Master" every time so much as grain
is missing"
I should like to meet them" said
Alice. politely. although she did not
believe a word he said.
THE near Midas will show them to
you" said the ogre, even more politely.
Midas? MidasT' puzzled Alice "oh,
yes, 1 remember now! King Midas had
the golden touch-everything he
touched turned to gold"
"And near-AIidas has the golden
stamp" said the ogre. Everything
he stamps turns to gold. Copper" and
he showed her. Paper" and he showed
her again. And silver, of course.
When he stamps it each one is worth
its face in gold"
But the copper is worth such tiny
speck of gold" Alice complained.
"And the tiny speck of gold is worth
only copper" the ogre retorted; but
the paper is worth lot more"
What a funny stamp" unused Alice.
Then she reached down among the
coins and drew up one just little
larger than the copper. She put II in
her teeth and bit il.
No fair: no fair." she cried. This
one was gold already before he stamped
it; the stamp hasn't changed it bit"
Pooh" said the ogre. Gold. is the
standard; gold never changes for any
body" He dipped the coin with his
fingers and it came down heads.
What do you see?" he asked.
An Indian"
He tipped it again and it came down
tails.
What DO you see now?" he asked.
Alice, clapped her hands.
',Chanticleert" she cried.
The ogre biinked his eyes and
looked nonpiused-
what nonsenser he exclaimed; 1T
is an eagle"
Alice dropped her eyes and looked
demure
Il beg your pardon" she said, L
thought ii was a chicken"
You don't know anything" said the
ogre Grossly and started TO walk away;
but Alice tagged close 10 his heels.

Alice Obeyed. But she waved her

as much fun as Make-Believe. I am

The chief and the giants all rushed
to the window to see her go.
That was the queerest little visitor
