The broad leaves of the mock
orange vine made just the pleasantest
shade, and in this cozy retreat Selma
sat with her book one sunny afternoon.
What are you reading?" inquired
Norman. Bout Cinderella, again?"
mo, it's Beauty and the Beast :"
replied his sister. "Sit down here and
I'll read it to you, too"
Now read bout 'Puss-in-Boots,' or
oh! Jack, the Giant Killer or-or-
what's the other Jack? Oh, yes, Jack
and the Beanstock,' said Norman,
after Selma had finished Beauty and
the Beast"
When Norman had listened to the
deeds of his favorite heroes once more,
Don't I wish 1 could talk to Jack,
the Giant Killer!" exclaimed he, "or
Hop O. My Thumb-huh! they weren't
'fraid of anybody"
Look at this picture" said Selma;
'ft's Cinderella's godmother."
"a funny old wiIch" laughed Nor
man; "but no witches these days." he
ended, mournfully.
There! I've an idea," spoke up Sell

There was a good frog, VINO always
did what his mother told him. This
little frogs name was James; his color
was a cheerful green, his eyes popped
out at the top of his head like the attic
windows of some houses, and his smile
was large and pleasant. His eyes being
in the top of his head, he often gaZed
at the sky, which might have made
him look sentimental if it hadn't been
for the common sense appearance of
the rest of him. And one day, when
James was thus gazing upward he was
astonished to see the-fairy king fitting
above him.

my wif6's youngest sister, Penelope,
is lost"
Lost" cried James. do let me
help find her!"
II wish you could!" said the fairy
king. But she's that elusive. The
whole fairy court has started out after
her already, but if you'd like to join in
the search we'd be only too glad to
enlist you"
"Ill go right away" said James, who
never lost any time. Good by your
majesty. I hope we shall soon find the
young lady"
Off he hoped as fast as he could. He
had not gone far before he came upon
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-18

a fairy dressed In silver armor and a
red velvet cape, who seemed to be
hunting for something as hard as he
could.
Are you trying to rescue the
princess, too?" asked James.
II surely am" replied the fairy. II
spend most of my time trying to rescue
her, but I've never been able to yet"
Let me help you," said James; per
haps if we go together we'll have bet
ter luck. Have you any idea where
she is?'
mo, if I did it wouldn't take me
very long to get there, and besides the
king issued a proclamation just this
morning, promising her hand to her
rescuer-and-and- got to win!
So the frog and the fairy started out
together They had not gone far when
the strangest thing happened.

GIGGLEDIFIDGIT-THE WITCH

most forgot her arms"
Two more skewers made serviceable
arms, and then Blanche's dress was
put on and found to fit remarkably
well blanche was Selma's best dolD.
But she must have a pointy high
hat" said Norman; "all real witches
have 'em. My horn! That's the very
thingi"
So Norman's tin horn did nicely for
a pointed hat and at last there stood
a most respectable old witch with a
yellow face. Selma and Norman
laughed heartily at the comical wee
figure.
Then the crooked mouth of the
mock orange opened wide in a mirth
full smile, which ended in a queer,
gurgling little giggle. Guess you'd
like to know my name. It's Giggle-
defirgit," squeaked the witch, as she
began fidgeting about, poking her yell
low face into corners as if hunting
for something.
"Oh she's real!" Selma almost
screamed.
Complete this story and tell all the
funny adventures these two children
undoubtedly had. Was Giggledefidgit
a good witch or was she wicked? The
