They were furnished, not in
hundreds, but in thousands
both for the training camps here
and for service in France, Bel

The record of those thousands of
camp and army cars is one in
which any owner may feel the
utmost pride and satisfaction.
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their Sc

The great works in which nearly
three hundred thousand of their

when his reverence was giving din
ner to some friends he requested Pat
not to call, but the latter, on account
Of the refreshments usually afforded

unnoticed in a corner Of the room dur

dinner had been nearly finished that
his reverence addressed the unwelcome
guest:
ANY news today, Pat?" he asked.
"Naw," sulked Pat, "except Dan Fo-

~ MARY CpAHAhf BONNER
PEACOCK 6ooK-RAcKs.

'"The whole household was asleep"
said Daddy, land everything was very
still. Even the gold fishes in the bowl
were sleeping and the snalls were en-
joying a good rest.
"Suddenly little fairy came hopping
and skipping into the library. Hello,
peacocks,' she said. I've been mean
ing to come for some time, but I've
been 80 busy. Gracious, but I've been
busy fairyp
!"'What have you been doingT ask
ed the peacocks. we like to hear
what's going on. We see good deal,
but still when folks come into the IL
brary they're apt to sit in big chairs
and put their heads inside of, books
or 1t looks that way to us, anyway
and they read and read. They don't
say anything at all. We're all ready
to hear the news-and we don't hear
any. So tell us, won't you, little fairy,
what you have been doing latelyP
"The little fairy put her wand down
on the library table and jumped up on
the table beside the peacocks. And
Of course you must know just who
the peacocks were, and why they were
in the library. On the library table
was a set of book-racks. At either
end these racks held up whatever
books were put between them, so they
were arranged where people could look
at the names of the books they wanted
to take out and read. These book
racks were very beautiful. Each one
was made to look like beautiful pea
cock with a spread tail, and so, at
either end there was a make-believe
peacock.
"They were the peacocks the fairy
had come to see. She stuck her lit
tie feet straight out before her, and
she wore sandals with wings upon
them.
"T can jump and fly SO much cas-
Ter that way than If I didn't wear
them, she said, when she noticed the
peacock were looking at them.
"'And now you've asked me what
I've been doing lately. I've been 60
ing to number of parties. The fairies
have given a ball, the brownies and
gnomes have given q slush party on
deliciously slushy day last week,
and there has been a lot Of work to
attend to.

ly dreams, and also so they'll hear
that there are no bad COLLINS, but only
nice, jolly COLLINS.
az do believe the children in the
bedrooms of this house are dreaming
some of our special dreams tonight
"She threw a kiss to each peacock,
and said, Now tell me the story you
promised me last time l came
''The peacocks could not look at
each other, as one was at one end of
the boOks-and the other one at the
other end.
'The fairy noticed this at once, and
said, You might begin, peacock at this
end, and then when you pause, the
other peacocks will talk
$50 that settled the difficulty.
1.-THE story we wanted to tell you
said the first peacock, was this. We
wanted to let you know what an honor
had been paid to peacocks. We thought
you might tell the fairies about us,
and that would please us so much. We
get rather tired staying so still, but
we're happy because of our story
'The second peacock began to speak,
as the fairy hoped over nearer that
end of the bOok-rack. We're so de-
lighted because for years we've been
considered very vain. We have beau
tiful tails and we love to spread them
out and strut about and show them
Off. We know our tails are lovely,
hn ~
wonderful.
mo wonder, then, that we want to
show them to the whole world. We
think they enjoy beautiful things, and
so we show off our tails. But do they
appreciate them? Not for a moment.
Well, maybe that's bit harsh. They
do think oIr tails are beautiful, I've
not a doubt of that, but instead of
thanking US for giving them so many
opportunities for seeing our tails, they
call US vain
ave are vain, to be sure said the
first peacock, but we like to give
pleasure with our beauty. And so it's
no wonder they choose us for lovely
book-racks. But more than that-we
make lovely decorations, but we hold
up books, and so they must think we're
wise, and it's something we've never
been Thought before
Both the peacocks looked very
happy, and the fairy promised to tell
the other fairies about them, but she
laughed to herself for she didn't think
Il was any ign of wisdom to simply
bold M books"
