inviting odor seemed to prevail in this
section of the forest This was the
first time Rose realized that she was
lost. Tears began to roll down her
sunburnt cheeks, but she soon gained
courage, and going closer to the hill,
discovered a small ravine. at the end
of which was a dimly lighted cave in
the side of the hill.
Rose tried to dry her tears, and very
timidly went softly into the cave. All
of a sudden il grew lighter, and then
the light changed again to a dull red.
1t seemed to come from no particular
place. Little Rose was too frightened
to cry; she lust stood still ana gaZed
at the strangcness about her, with her
mouth wide open.
A little man with a long beard
seemed to emerge from the wall, and
with a wave of his wand Rose felt
herself growing smaller. The little man
then went through a number Of mag
ical tricks. and
In the meantime Mr.. Stevens, with
several neighbors, started in search of
Rose. At a late hour that night Rose
was found fast asleep in the ma gician's
cave.
For many days after her adventure
Rose could talk of nothing but the
mysterious tricks of the old magician.

MADE QUEEN OF THE ELVES

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Maybelle was a very happy girl of
about 8 years old. Her father and
mother were very poor. They lived
near the mountains in California.
There were many trees and wild flow
ers near their home. which were a
delight to Maybelle to gather. They
had many cows and Maybelle used to
deliver the milk. 1t was cloudy night
and she was on her way home.
All of a sudden it started to rain.
She was quite a distance from home
and did not know what to do. AS she

green coat and yellow pantaloons,
stockings that looked as if they had
been dipped in purple dye and his
moccasins were red. He sat on some
dry leaves.

st will show you," said the ma
gician. "Now watch. Here is pome-
granite seed. Do you want to see it
grow?"
. "Yes," she said.
Taking a box he planted the seed.
He covered it with another box. When
he took it off there were green leaves
sprouting. The next time he took the
cover off the tree was covered with
blossoms. He put the box down again
and when he took it off the tree was
laden with the fruit He then took
little fir tree and in an instant 1t was
a neatly trimmed Christmas tree. He
did many other tricks, all somewhat
the same. When Rose got home that
night she had something to tell her
friends about her visit to magician's
cave. MABEL BURROWS.

CHANGED INTO TINY FAIRY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Little Rose Stevens had been picking
flowers in the forest near her home.
AS the sun began to cast long shad-
ows in the forest she suddenly re-
membered that it was time to return
home; so she started out in that direc-
ton, as she thought, but in reality
every tiny footstep was taking little
Rose farther away from mamma and a
snug little bed.
At length she came to a small hill
