that cross and divide the box-cover
into eight sections.
Now, measure each side OF your
box-cover and mark it off into four
equal portions. Join each of these
with its opposite. Color each sec

To play with, you will need four
large white buttons OF uniform size

counter is some heavy metal button.
To make the counter take some

TOR boys and girls who like to
l. play games here are some new
ones that you may make your
self on some stormy day when there
seems no interest in the old games
that have been played so many
times before. These games are all
made from simple materials that you
will find in your own home-boxes,
buttons, envelopes, pencils. In less
than FIVE minutes, with any OF these
materials, you will find your own
fun almost ready-made.
The game OF GET THERE
QUICK is made with a big square
box-cover about ten inches square,
smaller or larger-and you will
merely need a colored pencil or
crayon 10 draw the board and some
buttons for the men to play with.
Place the box-cover upon its rims
to stand on table, and with ruler
draw from corner to corner op-
posite. crossing the box twice and
making four divisions.

Ned cautiously peeped In again. The
room was filed with fairies about as
large as your thumb, dancing here and
there and singing a low. sweet song.
On perceiving that n mortal was gaz-

slowly, and presently ceased alto

CHAPTER III.

Ned and tho Gnome continued their
journey down the valley. following the
crystal stream, in whose waters he had
but n short time before seen his dis
torted figure, until they came to a
beautiful waterfall, down whose sill
very sheen slid numerous water sprites
and water fairies.
cover yonder," exclaimed the
Gnome, Gives the Fairy of the Lake.
She brews a magic liquid from check
erberries, which, l am told, II you but
drink a thimbleful, will enable you to
regain your natural shape. There she
goes now over the bridge on some such
GRAND, dare say
Ned watched the fairy stepping
across the silver network which hung
above a miniature Niagara, that he
eould easily have spanned with sin
gle step. Catching up a handful OF
berries. he followed her, not needing
Che Gnome's remark chat she would
probably prefer to pick them herself"
and. almost treading on some Of the
fairies who were blowing about in the
long grass like the flowers they rep
resented. threw the berries in heap
at the door Of her castle.
1t was, indeed, a most beautiful little
palace. Made Of brilliant crystals, 1t
.parkled in the sun like a rainbow.
INSIDE, it was even more exquisite, for
oil her little subjects, the flower fairies
and the woodland fays, had adorned it
with many lovely things.
Ned stopped over and peeped In at
The doorway. There was bright light
inside which came from a little star
suspended from the ceiling, the crystal
walls on all sides rejecting the light
with great brilliancy. Here and there
were draped beautiful laces, no doubt
spun by the spiders kept by the fairies
for that purpose.
Come" said the Gnome somewhat
,mpatiently as Ned's curiosity still held
bimst the little castles doorway, "come
away. or else the Queen will not re
turn. How is she to enter If you block
MP her cntrance'"
Following his advice, Ned withdrew
some little distance and stood watch
ing the gay scene around him. Hun
dreds Of insects were flying about and
large, gsy-winged butterflies huttered
over the flowers. On some he noticed
tiny figures and others with blades OF
grass tied around the necks of robins;
bluebirds and golden orioles were also
flying about in midsir. while some
sailed on the silver backs Of fishes, or
hoAted in shells upon the water near
his feet.
Look" cried the Gnome suddenly,
"here she comes" A half horse chest
nut, with dsmssk rOseleaf lining,
mounted on four ivy-berry wheels and
with four shining beetles for horses
came driving up from the waterfall.
Leaning back in her carriage sat the
Queen Fairy, tanning her face with a
Avs wing. The beetles came to a
stand in front Of the palace. and the
Queen, gathering up her white satin
dress, stepped out. Instantly numer-
Gus ladies in waiting jumped from Of

"Move Oft" cried a shrill voice In
Ned's ear, and, looking up, he saw
Snapdragon. who seemed to be sort
Of policeman for the fairies. How can
you expect these Ladies in Waiting to
fulfil their Queens commands II you
stand there blocking the royal exit"
"Tell your friend to sit him down and
wait patiently. for it will take some
time TO brew the magic drsught," said
the Queen to the Gnome, who repeated
her words TO Ned. He was very glad,
indeed, 70 rest, for, not being accus-
toned 70 carry so much weight on his
young legs, he felt very weary and
somewhat discouraged. However, re-
lief was in sight, and, following the
suggestion Of the good fairy, he threw
himself down on a messy bank and
waited.
Before long the three fairies re-
turned, bearing between them a lily
filed with a white liquid. AS they ap-
preached the Queen herself came forth
from her crystal palace, followed by
many Of her subjects. Stepping up to
where Ned lay, she said in a soft voice:
"Do not rise, for even now you are
much too tall for me TO reach your
lips. I myself must pour this magic
wine upon your lips" So saying, she
stepped lightly upon stone close by
and. bending forward, placed the lily
to Neds mouth.
The next moment he felt a strange
sensation running through him, and
looking down at his hands and feet he
was delighted to see that they were
becoming smaller and smaller. Though
great was his delight, he did not forget
his manners, and, turning to the little
fairy, said: How may l ever repay
you for your great kindness to me ?
Indeed" he added. scarcely able to re-
strain the tears which came to his eyes.
whatever would my dear mother have
thought had l returned to her in the
form Of giant"
Thank me no more" answered the
Fairy Queen, "for gladly will l do any
favor for the boy who thinks of his
mother first. In the future, should
you need my aid, hang this ring about
a bluebird's throat and send him TO
me-" And with these words she placed
a slender gold ring upon Ned's little
finger.
But how shall I catch the bird?"
asked Ned. his curiosity aroused be-
fore he had time to think of thanking
her small highness.
Whistle thrice upon a blade of
grass" she answered, land the bird
will fly to thee. Then place the ring
about his neck and bid him hasten to
the Fairy Queen of the Lake"
During all this time Ned had been
growing smaller and smaller. He had
almost forgotten this. when his little
friend, the Gnome, exclaimed: There!
You're your own self again!" At which
Ned turned to the Queen, and, after
thanking her again and again, ran
hastily to the brook to assure himself
that such was the case. Sure enough,
the reflection that met his eyes was
proof, and once more Ned was boy,
although far from home and in
strange land. At the same time he had
brave heart and loved adventure,
and now that he was his natural self
again he felt keen desire for more
adventure. So, bidding farewell TO his
kind friend, the Fairy Queen, and her
three Ladies in Waiting, he accom-
panied his little guide, the Gnome.
