The Wondering Fairy Appropes Ny

Homestead.
 have good news for my friends. The Wandering Fairy approves of my moving onto my homestead.
 How do I know? We'll I went over there Monday of last week and she went along and told me so. To be- gin with the night before as I was coming from the Epworth League meeting with my lantern burning nice and bright Peter Rabbit came up to me and ask me: Are you go- ing over to your homestead tomorrow like you said you were in the Pulas- kian?" I told him ''Yes,'' and then he scampered away and told Wanda. Wanda is my pet name for the fairy and will use. 1t in this story because 1t is too much writing to have to write Wandering Fairy every time I mention her. He not only told her, but he told everybody he met on the way, and he never stopped until he got to the homestead. He told the other little rabbits, the possums and coons, the skunks, old Brer Wolf, Bob Cat and the panther, the squir- rels and the wood rats and mice and the birds, and just everybody.
 If you have any doubts about the Wandering Fairy being real you would not doubt longer had you been with me last week. After my trip over there I concluded that Peter about my going and said that was going to move over right away, for when I got back home night Rube Woodmouse was so certain 1 was going to move be- fore Christmas that he gave me his Christmas gifts that night. The next morning when l went to put on my shoes they were both full of hickory nuts. Did you ever hear of such a cute mouse before? How would you like to have mouse for friend and having him bringing in nice presents from the woods for you? We'll, if you could just know Wanda as I know her and would do as she says and be kind to all the animals and birds of the woods she would tell them all to be your friends and they would.
 We'll. 1 thought the people of Wye had offended Wanda and that was the reason she wanted me to move, but 1 was mistaken in that for as I left to come to Little Rock I walked east along the top of the Wye noun tain ridge to Ledwidge. It is nice place to walk for you can see long ways. could look back and see my homestead away over on the other side of the Big Maumelle, and to- ward the southeast l could see Pin nacle mountain and beyond that at one place l can even see Little Rock, which is thirty miles away. Then to the east could catch glimpses of the Arkansas river between the trees and mountains looking exactly like a chain of lakes.
 I was carrying a heavy satchel and started to sit down on a nice rock by the side of the trail I was following, but l saw letter 'sY'' on it, which caused me to stop and study it more closely. It was a most in- teresting rock. In the first place there were two of them. One was sunk in the ground, the top of it be- ing perfectly even with the top of
