wizard to Don, his nephew.

told Adele, her niece.
One bright moonlight night the hoy
and girl met at bush In the desert
halfway between the hut of the witch
and that of the wizard.

said the boy. l will bring our donkey

Now, the lad did not know that a
tiny bird had been listening all the

the girl, for 1t was jealous of the at
tention given her.
Don ran away to the spot where his
ncle, the wizard slept. Adele went
back to her aunt's hut, but behind her
flew the wren.
That afternoon when Adele was spin
ming in shed, the wren told the witch
of the plot to run away.
"You see what kind of child you
have cared for so kindly said the
wren. Here she Is getting ready to

About nine that evening the girl,
with a bundle in her hand stole out
to the bush and there she found the
lad waiting. She mounted the donkey,
and they set off across the sand 1t

the desert into gold
"We will go off in this direction

yellow water before we get into safety.
As 1t Is magical in its power, we must
not let 1t 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 n log, on
which the donkey bearing Adele came
safely. The witch, who was later

As she skinned low near the earth

Don cast 1t down into the water. One

of the desert and found happy home

Event Of the past week were Of ut
most importance to the several can
didates for the Republican presidential
nomination. Primaries or state con-
ventiOns were held in New Jersey,
Ohio, Massachusetts. Washington, Mis-
souri, and Idaho. The most exciting of
these was In New Jersey, where Gen
eral Wood and Senator Johnson were
contesting for the delegation. The gen.
eral came out ahead by about 1000
votes, and the senator's campaign
manager announced that recount
would be asked in Essex, Gloucester
Morris and Camden counties. There
were vague charges Of crooked work.
The delegates at large will be Sena-
tors Edge and Freinghuysen, pledged
to support the choice of the people as
shown by the primary, and II. c.
Stokes and w. N. Runyon. pledged to

According to the political experts in
Washington, the results in Ohio vir-
tually eliminated Senator Warren C.
Harding from the race for the nominal
ton, for while he received the states
presidential preference Endorsement.
he failed to capture the solid delega-
tl0n and this Is usually considered ia
tai to the chances of a favorlte son.
Furthermore, Hardlng's campaign
manager, Harry NJ. Daugherty. was
defeated for delegate Mt large accord
ing to unofficial returns. Wood, 1t was
estimated, might have about one
fourth Of the Ohio delegation.
Massachusetts delegates will give
Governor Coolidge complimentary
vote and after that they will go where
they are led by the big four, Senator
Lodge Speaker Gillett, Winthrop Muir
ray Crane and Edward Thurston.
Washington chose delegates pledged
to Senator Poindexter. In Idaho eight
uninstructed delegates were chosen,
led by Senator Borah, who is for John
son. Three of the delegates are for
Wood and the others doubtful. Mis-
souri, will send two contestlng sets of
uninstructed delegates to the conven-
ton, and so will Arkansas and North
Carolina.
