 Come with me-" said the fairy, her self jumping into the front of the chariot. Pati and Juli did not walt for a second invitation, but jumped to their feet and hurriedly got into the back of the chariot They found soft, downy cushions to sit upon. The fairy stood, waving her wand over the eagles. They raised their wings, Tapped them three times and rose gently into the air. Then they flew as swift as a fash of lightning up- wards, over the side of the great mountain. Hardly had they been fly ing five minutes when the fairy called out to them in her bird-like voice. They began to drop to earth again. and soon the chariot, which, by the way had no wheels, touched terra firma. There, just ahead of you, round that ledge of rock, you will meet your father and several of his men. They

A Fairy Story.

{" VERY, very long time ago there
 was tribe of Gypsies living in
 country across the seas. They ~ - were not like the rowing Gypsies we now know, for they were honest and remained in one place quite long enough to raise a crop of grain. But they were of nomadio temperament, and moved about the country very often, pitching their camps here and there wherever conditions were favor able.
 Of his band of Gypsies were De- motto and his wife Denni and their two little children, Pati and Juli. Pati was a boy nine years old and Juli was girl seven. Often as the band, with their huge caravans and herds of horses and sheep, moved across the land from one place to another, Pati and Juli would run afoot, following far behind, for they would run into the edges of forests to peep at squir- rels and other little wild creatures. or they would finger beside stream to look at themselves in the water-mir- TOT, wondering how 1t could be. And dBdlH lHcy WOulu Dt oCtdlliCQ Oy tllC roadside gathering the wild flowers. the only sort they knew.
 But never had the..- allowed them- selves to get out of sight of the nov ing caravans till one day of which am about to tell. On this day they were so happy, too, for they were crossing a range of beautiful mountains. The road was winding and steep, and sev- eral times their father called to them and asked them if they were not tired, and advised then. to get into their own big caravan. Ea, :. family Lad sep arate caravan, carrying their own children and share of provisions and tents and clothing.
 But to their fathers question, they would cry out: "Oh. no. papa! We love to climb the mountain and to gather the pretty pink stones."
 So on, up and up they went. ever so slowly, for the way was rough and steep.
 Just before they came to sharp turn in the road, bordered and hidden on both sides by great walls of rock, Pati and Juli saw little mountain waterfall dashiag over deep preci- pice. It appeared to be only short
 
 distance from the road and they ran towards it with all their might, think ing to return within a few minutes and follow the caravans again.
 But the waterfall was farther away than at first appeared and the chill dren, in their excitement and anxiety to get very close to 1t, did not realize the time spent in reaching it. After holding their pretty little hands under the spray of water at the edge of the first fall, they turned about and start ed to rejoin the band. But there hap pened to be two rough paths leading away from tho waterfall, evidently made by sheep herds on the noun tainside. Which one to take. the children were at a loss to know. But Pati at last decided on the lower one as looking like the path they had come

~ OMMY PATTEN was visiting ~ Jack Burden in the country.
 The Burdens had taken a farm - which lay along the banks of a fine river, and during the. summer months their son Jack had company from town. His last visitor, Tommy Patten, was his chum and very best friend. so he reserved him for the last.
 One splendid morning Jack and Tom my set out down the river In Jacks new rowboat. MT. Burden had just bought 1t for his son, and there could not have been a prouder boy than Jack when he saw the little craft launched. He named her "The Minnie." Min nie was the name of Tommy's pretty sister, two years Jacks and Tommys junior. And 1t was known by both families that Jack admired Minnie more than any other girl. Indeed, whenever Minnie happened to come where he was, he would blush, quick ly straighten his collar and adjust his tie and make himself as presentable as possible. He always wished to look nice when Minnie was near.
 And so you will understand why Jack named his new boat for Minnie Patten.
 Mrs. Burden had fixed up a boun- teous supply of food for them, for they declared their intention of camp ing out that night If the weather re- mained fine. They had blankets and rain coats and many other things car t,1 !, l.
 den shower they'd be able to keep their skin dry, as Tommy laughingly remarked.
 On pushing out from shore, MT. and Mrs. Burden had stood on the bank, waving a farewell to them, and Jack had called back: Kill the fatted calf for us on our return, Daddy, for we may have many tales of adventure to tell when you see us again."
 Then they bent on their oars and soon turned the bend in the river and were lost to the smiling parents eyes.
 All during the first half of the day the boys remained on the water, some- times just gliding, and only using the oars to steer the boat in its right course. At noon they went ashore and built 8 camp fire and prepared dinner. They broiled bacon on the live coals and boiled coffee in little pot their mother had provided them with. In fact. in glanoing through the two big baskets and one box. Mrs. Burden had put into the boat, the boys declared they had enough food to last during a siege. z
 After resting awhile, and mapping for few minutes under the trees, the boys again entered the boat and rowed on and on. After awhile, and towards evening, they came to a place where the stream divided. But it did not take them long to discover that 1t was merely little island, and that the river was made into two streams on

over, so they took 1t and hurried on and on. But they did not find the wagon road, nor did they see their caravans and horses and sheep. And the faster they ran the sleeper be- came the path. now going down and down.
 At last the afternoon shadows heightened into evening shade and the sun sank behind the mountains, and twilight soon fell over the land. Pati and Juli became very much frightened and began to cry. They knew they were lost and feared that some wild beast might overtake them and de- your them. And for their parents they wept still more. Oh. perhaps they would never see them again!
 After awhile darkness fell about them and they could go no farther What should they do? They knew would be hunting for them, but feared they would never find them.
 Let's hide somewhere" whispered Juli. holding tightly to Pati, the dark ness making her afraid.
 Tired and frightened and full of grief the two little Gypsies crept into the mouth of small cave. They thought the end of all things for them had come. Pati, like a brave little man. attempted to aoothe and reassure his little sister. But his heart held no hope. Just as they were crouch ing in. this fashion, afraid to move or to speak aloud, slight noise at tracted their attention. It came from over their heads. Glancing up they

have lanterns and are calling to you, making search of the roadside for their little ones. Run to the good father" So spoke the fairy.
 Patti and Juli did as told and ran round the curve in the road, and sure enough thero came several tall dark figures toward them, swinging lam terms. And then their dear father voice called cut: "Pati, Juli, where are you? Here's pa a coming to you!"
 Here we are, papa!" they cried out in the fullness of their joy. And in another minute they were clasped to their fathers heart, and he, great, strong man, was crying over them like q child. Come. we must hasten up the mountain to the camp and let mama see that we have you back agai... Her heart-is heavy over her

in New York. In St. Louis the young fledgeling of an artist opened stu dio. His first intention was to do portraits, but his orders for such work proving few, he launched out into "still-life" studies. Ills fruit-pieces and flower-studies found ready sale, and he was soon enabled to go abroad for further study. It is said that years afterward, when his more mature work was exhibited in St. Louis, his former admirers, and many of them buyers of his "still-life" pieces, de- clared that Europe had spoiled young Chase"
 William Chase had selected Munich as his school. when he went abroad and the choice was happy one There he found congenial, sympa- thetic colony of American art stu dents. and they proved to be of great assistance to each other.
 But Chase did not depend wholly on what might be learned in Munich He was too far-reaching and big for one school of work. He went to Paris, where the galleries afforded him great pleasure. Then on to Italy where especial attention was given to the galleries of Venice. He was a worslnpper of the works of Tintoreto (Venetian) and of Velasquez (Span- ish). These masters influenced his work greatly. He found so much in them that other masters did not pos sess. But he was not an imitator of any mans style.
 It was in 1878 that he returned to America to enter upon his work as critic in. the Art Students League, New York. having charge of the first painting class. And 1t was the be- ginning of a great career for him.
 He is now well alouA in years, but as Mark Twain saiG --asnself: T am seventy years yoUs1~ so might 1t be said of Chase, 'sHe is sixty-two years young" for he Is still full of vigor and enthusiasm. Indeed, his enthusiasm is marvellous, for 1t never cools. His life is as busy at the pres- ent time as 1t was in his early thir- ties the time when a man Is usually considered at his best
 A pen-picture of him is quoted here, as given by one of his former pupils: His neatness in personal apparel is one of his chief characteristics. He never appears before one of his classes that he is not perfectly groomed. He always wears a fresh carnation in his button hole. which offsets the wide black string attached to his eye glasses, making a characteristic color note. As critic he is severe when occasion requires, but seldom harsh. unless the work of some laggard stu dent, whom he considers to be taking up art as mere pastime, comes under his notice. Then the vials of his wrath will descend. But to the sincere stu dents he is unfailingly the kind mas ter, willing and anxious to give every thing he can to help them on their way"

space beneath the sky and make a weather observation. "Going to pour pitchforksI" exclaimed Tommy. "We'll have to find shelter at once and fetch our things from the boat"
 Certainly looks that way" replied Jack, scanning the heavy sky. Gee! It's good thing we've found this little island It's safer than the main- land, unless you reach the upland, for all along the banks hereabouts are swamps and marshy places. This island is a stronghold for us."
 Let's look about that ledge of rock yonder," suggested Tommy, indicating a mass of piled-up rock some distance off. They hurried to the spot and were made happy by finding a bub- bling little spring coming from be-
