In the latter region the Germans,
after heavy bombardment, won the
IIykull bridgehead, named as the
scene of many sanguinary encoun-

Then they shaped their course north
west along the waterway toward
Piga, with the Russians counter-at-
lacking, but unable to hold them.
Some twenty miles southwest of
Riga, along the railway line running
from Mitau to the seaport, the Ger

Here big battle is in progress, but
in whose favor it is going has not

and German official communications.
Neither is anything contained in
them concerning the operations near

waiting to be MIXED, and then Tom
saw that the place where she slept
was filled with clean straw.
When Tom MIXED the cow the
pail was filled with rich milk. and
he knew that he had not dreamed it
all.
But what he had not noticed was
that he did not limp. His lame leg
was straight and strong as the
other: but Tom was SO happy to
think that old Nelly was to have
plenty to eat and warm place to
sleep In tue winter that he had not
thought of himself at all.
When he went into the house his
mother dropped the dish she was
stirring the breakfast pudding in
and said, "Oh, Tom. you poor boy.
your leg Is straight"
Tom set down his pail of milk and
jumped for joy. at was the fairies
that did it." he said. Il wonder IL
the COLLINS fixed the garden, too"
His mother thought he must have
lost HIS senses, but when she look
ed at the garden she knew the
fairies must have helped, for all the
vegetables were nice and green and
growing as though there had been
no lack OF water.
The meadow land, too. was green.
and old Nelly poked her face into
the green grass and ate her fill
The villagers soon grew to know
that poor Tom was no longer poor.
for the milk his COW gave was the
best anywhere around and his vege-
tables the freshest: SO when winter
came Tom and his mother had a
new house and plenty Of food.
"Tom." said his mother one day.
II don't believe the fairies did it.
after ALL I think 1t was because
you were always SO good to me and
never fretted about your lame leg
or found fault with your lot that
everything came out right for you"
ut may be, mother" said Tom;
"but / either dreamed 1t all or 1t
really did happen: anyway. all good
things come from good. and have
always thought the fairies were
good and the COLLINS, too, even
though some people have said there
were bad fairies and bad COLLINS,
too"
Maybe the ones who think they
are bad find them SO" said Toms
mother "and those who think good
things about the fairies and COLLINS
see. good things; anyway. 1t makes
us happier to think good than evil"
II know 1t does" said Tom. Il
have always thought that way. and
now know there are no bad fairies
or COLLINS: they are all good ones"

THE SLY OLD FOX
STEALS THE FISH

Once upon a time there lived an
old greedy fox. He was so greedy
he would never let anybody eat
anything he had. When he caught
anything he would eat 1t right
away.
One day he met a bear. The
bear had'a string of fish. which he
had caught in the brook. Mr.. Fox
asked him where he got them. II
got Them" said Mr.. Bear. "in the
brook
That night Mr.. Fox thought he
would steal the fish from Mr.. Bear.
He got out of bed and. dressed
himself and went over to Mr.. Bears
house. When he got there he peep
ed in the windows, and what do
you think he saw? He saw that
Mr.. Bear had invited Mr.. and Mrs.
Postum and their children. Mr. and
Mrs. Squirrel and their children.
Mr.. Rabbit and his wife and chit
dren. and Mr.. and Mrs. Coon to
feast and had not invited him.
This made him angry. He thought
he would get even with Mr.. Bear
for this. He thought for q while
and then said to himself, II have q
plan. l will pound on the window
and that will scare them SO that
they will all run home, and | will
get the fish.
He pounded on the window and
they were all so scared they oil
ran home. and Mr. Bear ran home
with Mr.. Coon. Then Mr.. Fox
went in the house oil alone and
had feast by himself.
And old Mr.. Bear thought his
house had been robbed SO he never
went home to see.-Contributed by
