Olaf did not know what to say. He
wanted TO go, but he knew it was a
long distance, and very far from
where he had spent his boyhood.

ed for home That night his uncle was
very cross to him and sent him to bed
with a cold supper. Olaf did not sleep
all night. He was thinking OF his
uncIe's cruel treatment and he was
thinking. too. of the generous offer of
the giant. 1t was daybreak when he
finally decided to accept the giants
offer and he rose and dressed and went
to the wood where he knew he would

That day Olaf worked with tears in
his eyes all the time" as he thought
that perhaps never again would he see
the towering mountains and the fertile
valleys, the blue skies and the softly
flowing rivers of his native land That
night he spent half the night in gath
ering together the few things that were
his and packed them in a little tin
trunk that he had brought to his uncle's
as a little boy. And he did not forget
the goblins' whistle. First he put Il
in his trunk and then he said: Sup
pose I should lose the trunk" and he
took II out and put II safely in the in
side pocket of his jacket.
In the morning he was half mind to
leave without saying good-by to his
uncle, and then he thought that would
not be the right thing to do" So he
sought his uncle and told him he was
going. The uncle. knowing what a good
worker Olaf was, did not like to have
him go, but Olaf had made up his mind,
and when the boat sailed from Trondh-
jem he was on the deck and the giant
who was on the deck bade him his last
good-by.
Olaf enjoyed the sea trip very much
He was interested in the many ports
they stopped at, and when after chang

York he was very much rejoiced, for he

work and good living.
When he got ashore and saw the BID
buildings and the many people he waf
rather afraid, and when he wanted
things to eat and place to sleep and
found that II cost so much more than
at home he wondered how long the
giants money would last IL he did not
get work. Everywhere he went the peo-
pie said they had nothing for him TO do
ana every day the sum in his pocket
grew smaller.
At last one day he found himself
with only 25 CENTS left and no work

That night he paid his last dime for a

took the whistle from under his pillow
ana blew on II ever SO softly. 1t was
dark IN the room and he could not see,
but In no time at all he felt something
on the pillow beside him and heard a
voice say in his ear: why did you
not blow 1t before; we have been wait
ing to help your
II was the goblin, who had first asked
olaf to help him to reform the giant.
We have had nice place waiting for
you for week or more" he told Olaf,
where you will have steadyNwork and
where you can have a very comfortab bic
home. 1t is in the country where there
are rivers and mountains and sky al
most like those in Norway. Now you
are to go to sleep and in the morning
when you awake you are to blow the
whistle again and We will take you to
where you are to work"
Olaf went to sleep very quickly and
he awoke very early in the morning,
and the first thing he did as soon as he
was dressed was to blow the whistle
again; and all in a minute he found
himself in a nice, clean bedroom with
white curtains at the windows, and
when he looked out Re almost thought
he was back in Norway, the hills and
the river looked so familiar.

shown the barn and was told the work
he would have to do, and il was not
half as much as he had had to do every
day for his uncle. And when he was
paid at the end OF the first month he
was able to send the giant very gen
erous payment on the loan which he
had made him.
Olaf was very happy in his new home.

FRECKLES GONE
"sImple Remedy from Nine Best
Drug stores and the. Peoples
Pharmacy Removed Them"
Says Society Lady.

The best skin specialists told me that
nothing would remove my freckles and
that I would carry them to my grave"
said a well-known society woman, but
l fooled them all with a new drug,
othine-double strength, that l bought
at 9 Best Drug Stores, and Peoples
Pharmacy, which cleared my skin and
gave me a fine complexion"
The action Of othine is really remark
able. for when applied at night, many
of the freckles disappear entirely by
morning, and the rest have begun TO
fade. An ounce is usually all that is
needed even for the worst case.
Be sure to ask Best Drug Stores and
Peoples Pharmacy for the double
strength othine, as this is sold under
guarantee Of money back if it fails to
remove the freckles.

Fat Required to Make
Vegetables Digestible

Without fat cooked vegetables are not
regarded as digestible or satisfactory.
The best fatty substance for dressing
vegetables Is butter. Next comes oil,
and 1t Is unfortunate that Americans
Will not learn the use OF oil in this way.
Break away from the old rut and try
the experiment Of dressing your vege-
tables with oil instead Of butter. After
butter and oil comes fat which answers
well when clarified. The good cook will
be careful TO put aside Ter drippings,

how he helped them TO make a
good man out of the giant who lived
on the top of the mountain. 1 told you

Olaf worked for a rong time in the

and made him work SO hard that he de-
termined he would go away and see If
he could not find some place where the
work would be easier and the pay bet
