speaking firmly. At the very moment
that she made this vow the door was
cast open and q strong ray Of light
entered. Then white-robed figure
bearing \ wand in her hand, entered.
At the sight Of her the young dwarfs
sank to the ground.
"A fairy, u fairy" they muttered.
She'll read our black hearts,"
II have been hunting you, Lies!"
cried the fairy. "Over hill and dale,
through forest deep and on mountains
tall. And now | have found you.
Perish. You Lies" A she said this
the fairy waved her wand and the
floor of the cave opened and swal-
lowed the lighting band Of Lies. And
as 1t closed over them q small dark
form entered the cave. 1t was the
Master Lie. he stood trembling with
rage, his eyes starting from his head.
How dare you--even though you be
a fairy--to GENE into my domain ?"
And he looked boldly at the fairy.
Don't you know that have legions
of evil spirits in this forest? And
they'll rise up and put an end to you
and all your band Of fairies II you
NEEDLE thus with me-"
"Ah. you are the master Of them
all" And the fairy smiled. 1T has
been said that II We can strike OF the
head Of the Master Lie that his sub
jects will perish Of themselves. So
off must come your head, wicked
one.".

speak another word Kathleen saw his
head roll upon the floor. Then the
rocks opened and he was swallowed
up with his own. And never since
that night has Lie been seen in that
forest. The fairy waved her wand
over that cave after she had led Kath-
leen forth from it and it was levelled
with the land and no cave existed
there any more.
After coming forth from the cave
with the good fairy Kathleen told her
beyond the mountains.
II will lead you thither," said the
fairy. BLOOD is thicker than water.
When we come to the place where
your mothers sister dwells your heart
will tell you. Then we will stop and
you will have found her."
So they set out to journey that very
night, and on the following day Kath-
leen found they had crossed the
and were in a beautiful
valley. They journeyed by foot, but
it was as though they were flying,
for the fairy merely touched Kath-
leen's feet with her wand and all
tiredness would leave them and she
went like a young deer over the most
rugged places.
At noon, just as they were passing
a fine vineyard Kathleen beheld a
dark haired woman trimming some Of
the vines. Her heart went pit-a-pat
and suddenly she thought she beheld
her own mothers face. The fairy
stopped, smiling. "Your aunt yonder."
And she pointed her little wand
towards the bending woman in the
vineyard. go to her, my child. And
your life shall be happy henceforth."
Then of a sudden Kathleen found

- TITLE Arthur Harris papa
brought TO him a pretty red-and-
black top, one which would spin
and spin for ever 50 long time
svithout falling over. Arthur loved to
spin tops, so his papa brought one to
him quite often. Consequently Ar
thur had several very fine big ones.
And whenever his young friends came
60 play with him he would give top
~ each and they would sit on the
porch and spin by the hour.
But this particular red-and-black
top was Arthur's pride. and he always
gave it to his very best friend to play
with, for Arthur was an unselfish boy
and loved to share his best playthings
with his little comrades.
One day Arthur was invited to go to
Q picnic in the woods and he asked his
mamma to put his top into the little
play he always carried with him
when going to a picnic. II may want
TO show it to some Of the boys who
haven't seen it," he explained.
At the picnic grounds the top
which was an unusually large one
proved the centre Of attraction and
furnished much amusement to q
group of boys Arthur's own size. They
found a fine place to spin 1t on the
top Of a great fiat rock which spread
itself like a table beneath fine tree.
Several boys wanted to swap"
things 10 Arthur for the top, which
Arthur called by the name of Master
Spinner" But Arthur shook his head,
saying: "Er, l wouldn't trade off Mas
ter Spinner. for papa gave him to me.
J always keep the presents papa and
.nam,na are good enough to present
me with

we do all the evil we can. And our
master teaches us. He is the Su-
preme Lie. And he is a robber, too.
He takes us out to steal"
And what do yof steal?" asked
Kathleen.
I'VE steal the truth away from
weak people-people who cannot
withstand temptation. And we steal
character and good WILL"
Kathleen shrunk from the band Of
dwarfs, for she knew them to be lies.
That was why they fought and hurt
each other and lived in filth and dark
ness. Oh, why had she got into the
hands of the great deceiver?
Just then the band of dwarfs fell
upon each other in fierce fight. Some
knocked the others down and all cried
out with pain. One jumped to its
feet and ran to Kathleen, his tongue
thrust out. "See what you will look
like when you become a lie!"
II will never lie," cried Kathleen,

Pretty soon a step was heard and
then the bolt on the outside her door
was drawn and In came dozen or
more of the hideous dwarf children.
They came In Quarreling and fighting.
One Of them approached Kathleen,
saying, "Come, fight with us. We
have an hour to fight every evening.
It's our way Of playing"
But why do you wish to fight and
hurt each, other?" asked innocent
Kathleen, not feeling in the least
afraid.
"Why, we are lies-evil spirits--you
know" replied the child dwarf. I'VE
go out Of nights and NEEDLE with
people in the villages and on the
farms. We whisper wicked stories
lies and what not--into their ears. and

The general understanding is that
