 And he would have made quick work of the youth. had not he been on your back" And the owl smiled grimly. Such is the life on the great mountain,' he added. Then they set out up the steepest part of their path. As they went along, Harry felt the melancholy of the noun tain. Everything there seemed to breathe sadness or strife or danger. Into great crevices, hundreds of feet deep. he looked with awe. The darkness of night began to settle, and the clouds dropped about them like a damp curtain. It was difficult to breathe Harry trembled in every limb but clung closer to his strange beast of burden. Up. up, up they went. the owl giving vent to short, emphatic hoots every few minutes.

Ah, why was not he content there7 why long to see the strange and forbiddingf If he succeeded In reaching his home once more he would never leave 1t.
 While thus meditating on his own fool ishness and also on the dangers surround ing him, Harry felt the lion give way be- heath him. and then--the beast had dis appeared! He looked about quickly for the owl but the bird was flying low above him, going down the western side of the mountain. his eyes blinded. possibly, by the glare from the setting sun.
 "Alone ! Alone P And Harry felt that all was over for him. But at the mo- am the Fairy Invisible" it said. But see your dilemma.

They would have told you of the dangers of this great mountain where beast of prey seek out such as you to rend them limb from limb. But-there comes tigerl Quick. rise and fyl"
 Harry asked no questions. He only knew that good fairy had come to help bim in his hour of need. He raised him. self on his toes, and. To! he scared into the air without effort. Down and down he flew, like a bird. And, without the least feeling of weariness, he soon came to the foot of the mountain where his fathers farm lay. He could see the pretty vine-covered cottage where his parents were probably waiting for him, and where they were flor the first time very unhappy on his account Then he felt his feet touch the ground, and the Fairy Invisible said: You are safe once more. my youth. Never forget your ex- perience of today. And-never allow yourself to be led away by wild fancies and foolish lions and egotistical owls They carry you to the End of Things and desert you"

But he must hurry home and tell his waiting parents of his strange journey and stranger return. Just at the moment. however. he saw lan- tern swinging along the lane which led to the big road where he had alighted. Then he knew his father was out search. ing for him. With feet almost as swift as had been his wings. he ran to meet the anxious parent.

 T must drive my cows home," ex- plained Harry. Then. if mother will permit me-
 Your cows will go home of them selves" interrupted the owl. And no one but you must know of your going. If you speak of it to another soul the charm will be broken, and we shall disappear
 Harry was thoughtful He wished Very' very much to go to the top of the mountain; but he disliked doing so with out first telling his parents about it. Ihe owl seemed to read his thoughts, and said:
 We can't waste time with people of indeoision. Will you go?'
 Yes, said Harry He felt that it was now or never. If he would see the top of the mountain, he must not waver about going.

 And l shall lead the way" said the owl. "I am Wisdom and Good Sense Where l lead no danger can come.'
 Looking .after his cows to see that they were meandering homewards, Harry mounted to the lions back, and away the three strange companions went The lion was a swift traveller and the owl as

swift a flyer. Harry sat easily on the great animals back and soon found him self ascending the steep mounta.nside.
 On and upwards they went not one of the three saying a single word. At last the lion paused beside-a huge tree My home Is within that cave,'' he said, being the first to break the silence. And he nodded his head toward a dark hole which Harry knew to be the mouth of a cave.
 And I live there' said the owl, point. ing one wing towards the top of the tree. And let me warn you, now, Youth of Dreams, never to come near this spot again. It would not. be a safe place for you--or any living soul This is our domain; yours lies at the foot of the mountain"
 Even while the owl was speaking Harry shivered. The air was cold and sent a chill through him. Also, a mou7nful wind was signing through the tree and Harry wondered how the owl could en- dure such sounds all the time And from the caves mouth there issued a horrify- ing wall as the wind entered it, a sort of moan, like one in distress And about them hung dread darkness. with huge rocks piling up like black spectres. Once or twice Harry was on the point of ask ing to be conducted home again, but thought he would better stick 1t out. So catching tightly the good lions mane.

 "I now smell a mouse" smiled Madge. And the price they pay for use of horse and phaeton might apply on the work of papering our housei Am l rightf'
 Never tighter" declared Billy. And the Franklyns will make by the bargain. for they'll not need the paid driver Be- side, it'll afford the sick girl more pleas ure to swing along in our low basket phaeton, behind n perfectly safe horse, than to go in a rickety old livery buggy with a strange man stuck in to hold the reins."
 Madge clapped her hands "Oh, that's fine, Bubbyl Good for youl We'll get the house all done while mammals away and spare her the work I'll see to everything mornings and evenings when out of school. And all day on Saturday. We'll get through finely, l know. Mary is a good domestic, too, and will carry out any order may give her.
 'So far, So good" said Billy. And tomorrow morning bright and early I'll hitch up old Peggy to the phaeton, drive to the Franklyns and strike bargain.
 And Billy was as good as his word. and that forenoon friends of the Frank lyns were pleased to see Bessie Frank lyn, a very i'll girl, taking the air in comfortable phaeton, with only her moth- CT beside her holding the lines, for not even the most timid person would be afraid to drive good old Peggy.
 Two weeks later a wire came from Mrs. Brown saying she was en route to her home. The family gathered at the depot to meet her on her arrival. Then as happy as they could be they hurried home. Mrs. Brown brought the good news of her aged mothers complete re- covery, and that added to the good cheer of the reunion of mother and family.
 But all were waiting till the mother should enter the house. And when at last they were assembled in the lighted parlor. Mrs Brown looked about her in a dazed sort of way Why my dears this is-is-Fairylandl How did you have the decorating done? Bless me, every thing is as l had planned 1t before went Easti'

" ARRY ODER had always wanted to 8A go to the top of the great noun
 tain which loomed forbiddingly in the sky, and which made the
 days so short, hiding the sun from sight as early as three o'clock every afternoon. And very often the great mountains crest was hidden by the heavy clouds falling about it like a robe. When the clouds were white they resembled snow on the mountain; when black and full of rain, they looked like shroud. And at all times the top of the mighty mountain held interest and mystery TOT Harry.
 The Obers lived in a fine fertile valley at the foot of the great mountain, and, unlike their son Harry, MT. and Mrs. Ober seldom thought of the mountain save as q background to their splendid landscape view. They felt no curiosity concerning the top of the great giant, never once contemplating a journey up its rough, steep side. They were content to live at the mountains feet. till the soil, raise sheep and cattle and enrich themselves In an honest, homely way. But not so with their young son Harry. lie had dreams and dreams full of mys- tery, and would sit for hours together looking longingly toward the top of the great mountain which loomed over all that part of the land

 "The owl told me-" informed the lion. The owl and I live near neighbors. My cave is beneath the tree in which His Wisdom. Master Owi1 lives
 'fes, explained to the lion. my friend. that Youth of Dreams lived in the val ley, and that it was his hearts desire to go in quest of adventure. So spoke another voice at the other side of Harry. And turning about, Harry saw a very fine owl flying along close to his head His astonishment was great and for some seconds he was speeches. Then, finding voice, he asked of the owl: But how did you know that desired to go up the mountain?''
 T am wisdom, my fine lad" replied the owl II know things without being told So come with us-the lion and me-and we'll take you 10 the place you desire to sec"

 The first evening after Mrs. Browns departure Billy took Madge into his con fidence. Sister, he said, as the two sat In the library getting their morrow's lessons together. "I have a scheme"

 Sure said Billy. 'T always look to you to help me-when Mammals away. It's regarding the house-cleaning. As I came past Jackson's store this evening he called out to tell me that the wall paper Mamma had ordered had arrived. Now, can't We devise some way by which we may have the papering done during Mammals absence? I can do the paint ing myself. helped to do all the paint ing and graining of Papa's store last year. And the main painter said my work was as good as his own. So I'll go at sthe woodwork, sandpaper 1t off and paint it. Mamma has told you, of course, what color she wants in the different rooms"
 Yes" said Madge. "She and I planned the decorating together. Our color scheme is written down in Mammas notebook But-as for having the papering done l can't see how we can manage that, Bubby. Wish we might though"
 I've got a scheme, said Billy. And here 1t is. You know MT. Franklyn- the paperhanger-has an Invalid daugh- ter. The doctors say her lungs. We'll, Mir. Franklyn has been hiring a livery rig each day for his daughter to go rid ing in the open air. Her mother usually accompanies her. but being afraid of horses, especially of hired horses, she cannot do the driving. So paid driver from the stable goes along to handle the reins."
 T still fail to see your scheme" laughed Madge. What can the poor sick girl and the hired driver have to do with paying a paperhanger for bis work?'
 T never thought you obtuse" Sis, grinned Billy. But you don't seem to see through an open window tonight Maybe it's my own stupidity. however So I'll be palmer. Here it is in primer letters: I'll take our horse and phaeton to Mrs. Franklyn and offer them for her

 After everyone had stopped laughing at Babe, Mrs. Brown said:
 But I want to know how it was all managed Can you tell me, PapaT"
 The children were the instigators," laughed Mir Brown. Let them confess"
 Well. Brother did the painting-as Lily and Babe have explained in their own way. And-old Peggy and the phaeton did the paperng. So there you are. Mamma, laughed Madge.
 Such children as have!" declared Mrs. Brown. Why, I believe they could move mountains-if 1t were to help their par ents in some way to have the mountains moved"
 Not without the assistance of Peggy and the phaeton,' declared Billy. But supper is waiting Let's have something to cheer the inner man."
 And with his arm about his mothers waist Billy led the way to the dining room, Madge and Lily following, while Papa, with Babe on his back. brought up the rear.
