must have weighed at least eight pounds.
Gawalne found dragon in the same
meadow where he had killed the first
one 1t was fair sized dragon out
evidently an old one. Its face was
wrinkled and Gawaine thought he had
never seen SO hideous countenance.
Much TO the lads disgust, the monster re-
fused TO charge and Gawaine was
obliged to walk toward him He whistled
as ne went. The dragon regarded him
hopelessly, but craftily. Of course it
mad heard of Gawaine. Even when the
lad raised his battle-aX the dragon made
no move. 1t knew that there was no
salvation IN the quickest thrust of the
head, for it had been informed that this
hunter was protected by an enchantment.
1t merely waited, hoping something
would turn up. Gawaine raised the bat
tle-aX and suddenly lowered it again.
He had grown very pale and he trem-
bed violently. The dragon suspected a
trick. "What's the matter?" it asked
with false solicitude
I've forgotten the magic word
stammered GaWalne.
What pity said the dragon. so
that was the secret. 1t doesn't seem
quite sporting to me, all this magic
stuff, you know. Not cricket, as we used
to say when was little dragon: but
after all, that's matter of opinion"
Gawane was so helpless with terror
that the dragons confidence rose i'm
measurably and it could not resist the
temptation to show off a bit
Could I possibly be of any assist
ance?' it asked. whats the first let
ter of the magic word?"
ut begins with an r." said Gawaine
weakly.
Let's see" mused the dragon, that
doesn't tell us much, does it? What
sort of word is this? Is it an epithet,
do you think?'
Gawane could do no more than nod.
Why, of course" exclaimed the
dragon, "reactionary Republican.
Gawane shook his head
Well, them said the dragon, wee
better get down to business. viii you
surrender"
With the suggestion of compromise
Gawaine mustered up enough courage
to speak.
What will you do if I surrender?"
he asked
Why, I'll eat you,' said the dragon.
And if I don't surrender"
'l'll eat you just the same"
Then it doesn't make any difference,
does it, moaned. Gawaine

measures will never come to the stage Of

At the Knickerbocker, also, no change
is contemplated. Mr.. James E. Regan,
the manager, runs down to Washington
occasionally to keep in touch with devel-
opments, but these occasional absences
are the only ripple in the stream of
Knlckerbocker life that the pebble of
liquor prohibition has caused.
AT the Astor, Mr.. Muschenheim main
tains smiling countenance and hopes
for the best, but admits that the pros
poets are cause of weary vigls for
many managers, and intimates that an

The Knott brothers-David H, William
j. and James E.-operate about a dozen
notes.-the Judson, the Holley, the
Earle, the Berkeley, the Irving, the Van
Rensselaer,, the Albert, the Madison
Square, LIE Marquis, the Wellington and
the Calumet. If prohibition is enforced
they VIII have no occasion to curtail any
OF their service or to seek for compen-
satory revenue, for they carry no liquor
license for any OF their hotels or their
restaurants. Perhaps it is that "in
union there is strength" Anyhow, some
how, the Knots are able to conduct a
hotel business in New York City without
revenue from bar and yet without
bankruptcy. Mr.. David Knott thinks
that people will continue TO come to New
York City for amusement even if they
knew that they could not find spirit
uous beverage in the place. The the
atres, the opera, the shops. the art gal
leries. he thinks, would still allure them
here, that they would still come here to
get change Of scenery and to see the
sights and to spend money

find dragon. Gawaine went forward
slowly. He wondered whether it would
be Best to approach the dragon on the
run as he did in his practice in the
south meadow or to walk slowly toward
hm, shouting "Rumplesnitz' all the way.
The problem was decided for him. No
sooner had he come to the fringe of the
meadow than the dragon spied him and
began to charge. 1t was a large dragon
and yet it seemed decidedly aggressive
IN spite of the Headmaster's statement
to the contrary. AS the dragon charged
1T released huge clouds of kissing steam
through its Nostrils. 1t was almost as
If a gigantic teapot had gone mad. The
dragon came forward so fast and
Gawalne was so frightened that he had
time to say "RumpEesnitz" only once
AS he said it, he swung his battle-ax
and off popped the head of the dragon.
GaWalne had to admit that it was even
easier to kill real dragon than
wooden one if only you said "Rumple-
snitz."
Gawaine brought the ears home and
small section of the tail His school
mates and the faculty made much of
him, but the Headmaster wisely kept him
from being spoiled by insisting that he
go on with his work. Every clear day
Gawalne rose at dawn and went out to
Kill dragons. The Headmaster kept him
at home when it rained, because he said
the woods were damp and unhealthy at
such times and that he didn't want the
boy to run needless risks. Few good
days passed in which Gawaine failed to
get'a dragon. On one particularly fortu-
nate day he killed three, husband and
wife and visiting relative Gradually
he developed a technique. Pupils who
sometimes watched him from the hill
tops long way off said that he often
allowed the dragon to come within a few
feet before he said "Rumplesnitz." He
came to say it with a mocking sneer.
Occasionally he did stunts. Once when
an excursion party from London was
watching him he went into action with
his right hand tied behind his back. The
dragons head came off just as easily
As Gawaines record of killings
mounted higher the Headmaster found
it impossible to keep him completely in
hand. He got into the habit of stealing
out at night and engaging in long drink
ing bouts at the village tavern 1t was
after such a debauch that he rose little
before dawn one fine August morning
and started out after his iftieth dragon.
His head was heavy and his mind slug
gish. He was heavy in other respects
rs well, for he had adopted the some
what questionable practice of wearing
his medals ribbons and all, when he
went out dragon hunting. The decora-
tons began on his chest and ran all

But the size has nothing at all to do with

equip you in such fashion that you need

I'D like an enchanted cap" said
GaWaine.
What's that?" answered the Head
master, testify.
"A cap to make me disappear" ex-
planned Gawaine.
The Headmaster laughed indulgentlv.
"You mustn't believe all those old wives
storics,'' he said. "There isn't any such
thing. A cap to make you disappear, in
deed, What would you do with it? You
haven't even appeared yet. Why, my
boy, you could walk from here to Lon

be more invisible than that
Gawaine seemed dangerously close to
a relapse into his old habit Of whimper-
ing. The Headmaster reassured him.
Don't worry; III give you something
much better than an enchanted cap. I'm
going to give you magic werd All
you have to do is to repeat this magic
charm once and no dragon can possibly
harm hair of your head. You can cut
off his head at your leisure

behind his desk and began to run through
it. "Sometimes,' he said, "the charm is

"a short word suggested Gawaine.
ut can't be too short or it wouldn't
be potent There isn't so much hurry
as all that. Here's a splendid magic
word; 'Rumplesnitz.' Do you think you
can learn that?'
Gawalne tried and in an hour or SO
he seemed to have the word we'll in hand

son to inquire And if | say 'Rumple-

Toward morning Gawaine seemed re-
signed to his career. At daybreak the
Headmaster saw him to the edge of the
forest and pointed him to the direction
in which he should proceed. About a
mile away to the southwest a cloud of
steam lowered over an open meadow in
the woods and the Headmaster assured
Gawaine that under the steam he would

quire enormous investments of capital"
MIR. Boomer called attention to the
soda fountain, the McAlpin candies de-
partment and the Japanese tearoom,
installed last year at the McAlpin.
Whether these are considered by the
management as forerunners Of non
alcoholic regime, or as educators of the
public taste for soft drinks instead of
hard, or as competitors with the bar ser
vice, diverting the desire for artificial
stimulation from alcohol to sugar, Mr..
Boomer did not say. He knows that
they have installed the most exquisite
and elaborate soda fountain and soft
drink room in the country, and therein
takes much pride.
"Would not the sale of soft drinks
compensate financially for the loss of
revenue from the sale of alcoholic
drinks ?"
THAT, too, is a physical Impossible

number of walters, sell enough soft

question put to Mr. Carruthers

they did this morning, there's no

THE special train will leave the

for Fargo, and will not. as previously
announced, make a stop at Grand
Forks station. Students. or others
who plan on making the trip should
arrange to be at the Ut depot by a lit

morning. A number OF young ladies
were stationed in the Commons dining
room to catch students Just after they
had passed the cash register. Others
