THE FAIRY SPELL.

paper Syndicate.)
Molly. rosy checked. blue eyed Irish
maid. came running into the cottage al
the call.
"Chind. you must hurry and finish
your work. for the sun sets soon now
continued the mother. IF you should
lose your way. you might get into the
Fairy Dell and remain there for q
month, under the charm OF their magic
music"
Il don't think that would be so bad
after all, if found their gold mines
laughed Molly. For you know folks

under the spell never get home unless
some friend finds a way to rescue
Them" returned the mother. BE
careful and come home quickly"
So Molly hurried and soon filled her
pail with the creamy milk. On her
way back a white rabbit ran before
her. and wishing to catch such an odd
pet she set out after IL. But suddenly
IL disappeared and she found herself
in strange place. 1t was just under
a hanging rock. covered with vines,
and the aid was sweet with the odor
of wild jesamine. Il am tired. I will
seat on a rock. Hardly had she been
there a moment when there was the
sound OF strange music and troop
of fairies tripped in to dance in the
last glow of the sunset
"Oh, N.Y." she cried to herself, Il
have wandered into the fairy's dell.
Perhaps they will never let me go
home" But the music was so sweet
she felt no wish to leave. but sat lis
tening.
Yet at home her parents were
anxious. Hour after hour passed by
and there was no signs OF Molly. The

but the child did not come home. Il
will go look for her in the Fairy Dell,
at last said the father.
IF you go there, you also will fall
under their wicked SPELL" cried the
wife. For who ever hears their
music must sit and listen for years"

father: so he filled his ears with cot
ton and knew that in this way the
magic music would not weave Its spell
around him.

from the huron 10. III t1uTOulle.
A civil engineer, John l.. Nelson, con-
tributes to the Aberdeen News an article
alton of the people OF considerable por-
ton OF South Dakota.
1t deals with the water power posi-.
bilIties at Little Bend and Big Bend.
These bends are parts of the Missouri
river, Little Bend being at the mouth Of
the Cheyenne river and Big Bend In the
southeast corner OF Hughes county, adj
Joining Hyde and Buffalo counties.
Mr.. Nelson deals more specifically with
Big Bend testffying that It Is practicable
to develop from 1900 to 100000 horse pow
sr and that electrical energy from such
q plant can be transmitted $50 miles.
From the upstream end to the down.

The distance across the loop at the most
contiguous points is one and three-Quar-
ters miles. In this distance power could
be obtained tlaat would be OF incalculable
beref1t to South Dakota.
Big Bend occupies a position almost
central In the state and from that point
electrical power could be made TO reach
almost every point In the state and at a
price estimated at one-fourth the COM
tnercial value of artihcially produced juice.

Yet the father would not stop al
any risk for the chIld's sake. So he
climbed down the well and managed
to get cup OF honey and brought II
up. Then he set out for the Fairy
Dell. When he got there he peeped
over the top OF the rock and saw be-
low the ring Of dancing men and
women no larger than a big doll and
dressed in gay colors and swaying to-

The cotton i'm his ears kept out every

So he fixed some OF the honey in the
bent part OF a twig, then pushed the
limb down so far that 1t shook right
before the eyes of the fiddler. The
tiny musician was not able to resist
the tempting bait. so he stopped play

MOTOR ACCIDENTS DUE
TO TOO MUCH DIMMlNG

An article in recent edition of the
Motor Age says that the enforcement
OF the antiglare law is responsible for
the numerous deaths and accidents in
st. Louis. That city has had SIS deaths
and 300 injuries this year, and all due
to automobile accidents. The story
says that the wholesale arrest of driv-
ers who use glaring lights has caused
a reaction. and that now cars are run
with lights that are too much subdued
or entirely extinguished. II quotes a
member of the st. Louis Automobile
club as saying that the antiglare law
Is responsible.
After hearing a great deal OF evil
dences along such lines the city coun-
ell of Sioux City Is convinced that the
new traffic ordinance should apply to
DINNERS in a general way only. At
present tho ordinance provides that the
glass of brilliant headlights must be
ground or covered with muslin, paper
or some other suitable material.

In a vale In the land OF Moab,
There lies a lonely grave:
But no man built that sepulcher,
And no man saw IL eer;
For the angels OF God upturned the 500
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth. 81
Yet no man heard the trampling,
Or saw the train go forthi
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on the ocean
cheek
Grows into the great sun;
Noiselessly as the springtime
Her crown Of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills
Unfold their Thousand leaves;
SO without sound or music
Or voice Of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain'i

The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle
On gray Beth Peor's height
Out of his rocky eyrie
Looked down ON, the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns the hallowed spot: $50
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
But, when the warrior dieth,
His comrades OF the war,
with arms reversed and muffled drums
Follow the funeral car:
They show the banners taken;
They tell his battle won;
And after him lead his masterless steed
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest OF the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And give the bard an honored place,
With costly marbles drest.

Where lights like giories fan,

might Well be selected as the ideal in

rises above the sordidness of London
slums; whose spirit is undaunted by
dingy crimes and poverty. Her por-
trayal of Glad becomes much more
than the display Of winsome per-
Sonality, evident and. OF course, well
come In the earlier pa ssages; but not
the outstanding feature OF the per-
formance as the story advances to
tense climaXes. In the main. Miss
Pickford has part of large emotional
possibilities. in some ways reminiscent
Of Tess Of the Storm Country and
she acts, as she did then, with force
and sincerity.

ordinary things in life. TO this vein Of
blended fact and fancy Mr.. Morris has
given himself completely In The God

innocence and imbued with the idea
that sho Is to save mankind, is Sudden
