live but one place at once! Maybe you
wouldn't like any other place any better
than this cloud"
The fairies shook their heads soberly.
They couldn't believe any such thing
as that!
When the fairy queen saw that they
were quite set in their ideas she said
to them: Very well, fairies, II you
are sure OF what you want you shall
have your wish"
"oh, goody!" exclaimed the three
fairies In a breath. and they stood very
still while the fairy queen waved her
wand and said: Fairies, fairies;
airy fairies; live. oh live, where you
pleased"
this word-the fairies were gone from
the cloud-were gone without a trace
And whittier they went one could only
guess. for the fairy queen wouldn't tell
and nobody else knew!
But that very night the tairest star
shone brighter than ever before-so
bright that 1t surely seemed as II the
star was happier than before. Maybe
the fairy Starlight really went there
and her coming made the star happier.
That same night the moon shone
round and full-shone with such a
sllVeFy radiance that 1t seemed as II
the fairy Silver surely must be there
helping the moon to shine.
And at the very same time the star
was sparkling and the moon was shin
ing SO bright a little girl, tucked snug
in her bed, dreamed a beautiful dream
about a fairy country, dream so
wonderful and lovely that II seemed
as II a fairy must have brought it to
earth and given 1t TO herl
How do we know7 Maybe the fairy
Sunny brought the dream.

world renowned tight-rope walker.
Remarkable as it might seem, these
two loved each other fondly, and one
day the lust to wander died in the
mans heart; and he wanted a roof
over his head, children about his
knee, and money in his purse. When
the opportunity to go hunting for
gold came, he hesitated not an instant.
He had been hammering away at
the grim unyielding rocks for eight
months, making only such trips to
town as were necessary for food,
Perhaps the rubble extracted repre-
sented a thousand dollars, perhaps
less. He was discouraged.
One day he staggered out into the
brilliant sunshine. A lump of quartz
was clutched tightly in his hand.
When he grew accustomed to the
dazzling light he turned the stone
over and over, his heart beating as it
had never before. There were veins
in it, broad fakes of il; gold, gold,
gold He stood there several minutes,
enthralled with a tumble of dreams
revolving around in his brain. Then
he let out a yell that could be heard
across the valley. Down the rubble
he dashed, risking his neck a dozen
times.
"Donovaul Donovanw he cried.
The old Irish prospector came out
of his hole, blinking.
"I've got it'll I've got itp'
Donovan snatched the quartz from
the hand of his friend,
Holy Virgin, ye've struck It'll If it's
all like that, ye're rich man. Man,
man, there's hundred dollars in that
lump alonep
Trainor collapsed on pile of
worthless rubble and laid his head on
his arms. He had done it, all in these
few months. He was rich, rich, And
all his dreams were going to come
truel The Irishman gazed down on
him ruefully but philosophica1ly.
"An' me that's been prospectin' 20
years an amt hit my pile yeti Well,
God bless ye, man. I'm glad ye got it..
An now let's go take look"
Like all men who suddenly stumble
upon a virgin fortune, Trainor in
stantly began to plan how to protect
it. He had some bank attorneys draw
up papers leaving the mine to his
wife, in case of her death to his child,
to her husband 1t was subtly under
stood that the brother-in-law, Keene,
should never be able to touch it.
These Western bank attorneys were
simple and honest men.
But no dream of ours ever becomes
rounded out; what we realize is but
poor fragment. Before he had time
to write to his wife, Trainor was kill
ed by a premature explosion. He was
buried under the rubble his own hands
had torn from the mountain side; and
the kindly Donovan started out to
find the Eclipse circus.

CHAPTER

The Mystery of the Spotted Collar.
ON THE side Of rugged mountain
~ black velvet hole yawned. Rub
bic lay strewn all about the lodges.
To a layman this rIibble would have
explained nothing; to a miner it would
Instantly have explained the nature
OF the hole. Presently burly man
emerged from the hole, squirting.
He eyed the lump of quartz in his
hand. Always little, but never quite
enough gold to make it worth while.
1t might run ten or twelve the ton.
But what capitalist would interest
himself in such dribble1 The pros
peetor flung the quartz savagely upon
the accommodating rubble and leaned
disheartenedly against the log STRIP
port to the entrance of the mine.
j Every bone in his body ached and
every nerve responded. His grub
stake was fast dwindling, and in an
other four days he would have to
hike some 81 miles to the nearest
town for supplies.
Done He had paid $500, every one
of them earned at the risk of his neck,
for this damnable hole in the ground.
He filled and lit his pipe and fell to
dreaming what he would do when he
struck it rich.
BY and by the dreams faded and the
bitter realities returned. He rose
lamely and carefully picked his way
down to the Irishman's shanty. The
two of them shared their noon meals
on pleasant days.
"How's she comin'7"
Same old story" answered Trainor,
erstwhile strong man of the Eclipse

Trainor shrugged and muuched his
slice of bacon and after an hour or so
returned to his diggings.
In Trainor's life there had been but
trifling monotonies. He had been a
sailor in the South Seas, lumberjack
in the north, cow-puncher, fireman
on a North Atlantic liner. He had
come from a poor but respectable
Ohio family. His father nor his grand
father had ever stepped over the State
boundary lines; but in him there was
a reversion to the type of pioneer who
had established the Trainor family
when Ohio was a wilderness. He
could not settle down; he must be on
the move continually, and when at
length he joined the circus he found
that roaming uncertain life much to
his fancy. There he had met Mimi
Keene, known on the hand bills (for
Autographs were far beyond the reach
of this circus) as Mimi La France,
