That afternoon when Adele was spin

wren. "Here she is getting ready to

witch. "They will both die in the

AS 1t is magical In its power, we must
not let It touch us, for If It does, we

Now after they had gone about
three hours, the witch, in the shape
of wren, started after them. She
caught sight of them just as they were
nearing the yellow water. Don leaped
across, then threw over 1t a log, on
which the donkey bearing Adele came

We recall reading not long ago of

farm crops could not be grown prof
itably. He expended much gray mat
ter In cogitation over the use he could
make of his white elephant and final
ly conceived the happy thought Of ex-
perimenting with blueberries. There
was wild growth of the same near
by, and he planted stock selected
from the best and most promising Of
the native growth. Then he went to
the bureau Of plant industry Of the
department Of agriculture at Wash

grown wild stock by hybrids fur
nished him from the bureau.
