we'll / viii bring you some In the oak
leaf here.
In few moments he had gone 10 a
spring and returned with an oak leaf
fun of water The butterfly slipped at it
eagerly.
"ff YOU ever find yourself in any trou-
ble." she sang sweetly, IL viii come and
help YOU out. Trust me am little but
know many magical secrets.
In the evening Grlffo came home IN
a bad humor. Bumps had not finished
the well, though he had worked hard
So angry vas the father giant that
he at once sailed away with Bumps till
he got TO the Island of Despair. There he
placed the boy In large lnclosure.
II viii return next month"; he said.
harshly "And If you have worked well
in the fields i might allow you to come
home within a few months" One day the
butterfly alighted again on his shoulder.
'Do YOU wish TO get out of this placer
it asked.
''To be sure, ] do" replied Bumps.
'T can fix that" laughed the butter
fiv. "The next time he comes your father
is going to take you home to gathering OF
the entire race of giants. / will be there
trust me"
In a month the father returned, took
the boy home, and when he arrived he
found that there were thousands of giants
gathered In a huge plain. The butterfly
whispered to him to listen TO bit of
advice.
''At the end of this plain is a huge
gateway of stone," it said. This gate
way is a magic one, and all who pass
through dwindle TO tiny people that is,
tiny as far as giants think. Propose TO
your father to have race OF all the giants
through it, but you 60 around and stand
on the other side you will remain a
giant, and as they will become dwarfs,
you can easily whip them all. :"
Bumps did as he was told. Then, seeing
the vast crowd of giants running toward
the gateway, he raced around to the other
side. The giants came tearing through,
but on reaching the other side they were
no longer vast people, but folks the size
that we call dwarfs today-men about a
foot tall.
Bumps forgot to be angry and be-
gan to laugh at his father and the others
who had once lowered above the mountain
but now tiny creatures weeping over this
change. 81 certainly appreciate your kind
ness, my dear butterfly" said Bumps
"But j would be awfully lonesome as the
only giant on the earth, so am going to
run through the gate myself and be like
the rest. don't care now to punish any
one"
So good Bumps ran around behind
the gate, then raced through and he
was tiny just like the rest of his friends
''It's all right now" he called to his
father. Owe are all Of one size, and we
can live happily ON much less than it
took 20 do US when we were huge beings.
We viii all live now in the mountains,
and in their cozy cavern find good homes"
That is the way the dwarfs came to
live far from nnen In the caverns IN the
mountains.

WHY DWARFS ARE SMALL.

Once upon a time there lived on this
earth just one kind of people-Aa race of
giants They built huge stone castles and
in the evening they would play leapfrog
by jumping over the highest mountains.
Now, the biggest Of all the giants was
named Grlffo, and he had twin boys.
These boys were called Bumps and
Grumps, and the only way you could tell
one from the other was from the fact
that the ono named Bumps had mole
on his left ear, and the one called Grumps
had one on his right.
Bumps was full of fun and was al
ways playing pranks, which made his
father mad at him.
Nov, you shall have one more chance
said Gruffo. II will set you to dig this
well, and it must be finished by night.
If find you playing will shut you up
on the Island of Despair and you shall
stay there for two years.
So early the next morning Bumps
set to work and kept at it TIL noon.
As he munched his sandwich he felt q
tap on the shoulder and tiny butter
fly lighted near his ear.
II you will give me the first drop OF
water in your well, " she said, II viii re-

Next Wednesday, September -,
eight hundred fortunate men are going
to walk into the London Shop (The Gal
lery, Chestnut) and walk out again, each
one of them the owner of new, splendid
English overcoat, of a famous make, fine
in quality, fashionable in cut-for which
he will have paid only $40 to $50.
These are lower prices than he would
have to pay for domestic overcoats OF
equal cut and material.
And he jolly we'll knows it.
Such man is sure to find Wednes-
day fine day for an overcoat, weather
or no.
The makers of the coats are that eel
ebrated firm, Kenneth-Durward, whose
great establishment, Ulster House, in
Conduit Street, London, with its quaint
sign of the two huge iron dogs, attracts
many sightseeing Americans in London.
Many among the clothes-wise, on

iously warm, high-buttoning things; big,
roomy, wide-skirted in their cut; some
with belts, some without, some double
breasted, many cut on ulster lines.
The materials are warm, close-woven
and sturdy-stout tweeds, cold-defying
cheviots, superb, feecy Scotch woods, fine
blanket cloths and Irish friezes.

1t is these Kenneth-Durward coats,

of domestic manufacture in good grades.
The reductions are almost unprece-

instance, sells regularly for $50 more.
