ID fairies went out for play.
~ Through the forest they
strolled-over the fields and up to
the hills.
So happy was their play that they
didn't notice the time till the sun
began to sink in the sky. Then the
leader fairy remembered.
"Ho, no, we no." he called through
a trumpet made of his hands, "all
YOU fairies who have wandered
a-feld. come quickly, we must go
home"
ooh, 1 don't want to go home,
answered Laughing-Lisht, why must
we go so early?"
"Earlvl" exclaimed the leader,
"what time do you think it is-don't
you see that the sun is dropping
down and down, and that the sun
beams are already slanting reddish
rayss 1t is time for US to start and
to start quickly too"
"Sure enough" exclaimed half a
dozen fairies all at once, I'VE were
having such good play we didn't
notice the time"
+ So they called and whistled till
they got the whole band together
then they started for home. Down
the hillside, across a little creek, and
into the field.
| But the fairies had been playing
all day. and they were oh SO tired ;
they hadn't noticed at all how tired
they were, till they started for home.
Then they found that the hill was
steep and the field was wide and
rough. /,
Probably you. too. have noticed
how much further away things are
when you are going home. The
tired-er you get the further home
moves away.
The fairies got as far as the daisy
patch when Laughing Light ex-
claimed. 81 can't go another step.
I'm going to sit down on thus daisy
petal and rest. so there"
So she Auttered up to the daisy
and sat down on one of the snowy
white petals.
"How comfortable you look-I.m
going TO rest too. exclaimed the
leader fairy and then of course they
all climbed up to the daisy. Fortu-

Paris. Oct. 1.-THE left wing Of the
allies, where the French and British
forces have taken the offensive at GER
tain points against the Germans. is
expected to be the scene of sharp
fighting.
The occupation of Lille by the Ger
mans, it is believed by the French. will
be of short duration. The activities
near here have previously been en-
gagements between cavalry. but the
French official statement now speaks
of ''our forces in general and not as
previously "our cavalry" in referring
to the troops around Lille. indicating
that in addition to the squadrons of
allied cavalry their infantry has also
gone forward
The German army corps which has
occupied Lille evidently is part of the
force which has been released from
service in Belgium
Having failed in their attacks in Ar
ras. Albert, Roye. Lassigny and Tracy
le-Mont, there was much speculation
on the result of the next effort of the
Germans. The allies who have main
tanned solid barrier hoped not only to
keep their line intact but to make some
progress as it is reported they
did yesterday.
