NANCY and Nick searched all
~ through the sea after the Fairy
Queens sack of gold. Everybody
helped, from the Iittle-neck clam to
the big whale Mr.. Whale said that
he'd seen lovely lights up north at
night and that perhaps it was an eve
ming rainbow If the children would
follow it, they might be able to FIND
the gold But Cap'n Pennywinkle
said it was of no use, that the love
ly flashes were only the Northern
Lights, and they wouldn't know.
The electric light eel lent them his
light and they hunted under all the
rocks and in the dark sandy caves
and caverns, to say nothing Of the
twilight groves of tall sea-weed trees.
But no bag of gold could they find.
Wherever the gnomes had hidden il
it seemed very likely that there it
would stay.
1t was Curly, the little sea-horse,
who had an idea and he told it to
his fairy master, who confided it to
the Twins. "CurIy says" said
Cap'n PennywinkIe, that the water
these days looks unusually golden,

How do we know that those mischiev-
Gus gnomes didn't empty the gold in
to the sea?'
That's 50, Cap'n," declared Nick.
But how can we ever get it if it's
all melted in the water?"
"Humph" grunted the fairyman.
Cold doesn't melt in water. Go and
get a big coral sieve and strain
some sea-water through it. See
what you find. 1t won't hurt to
try"
And what do you think, my dears?
When the Twins had strained about
a riverful of saltwater, they got an
ounce of pure gold. And when they'd
strained a lakeful, they got two
ounces. When they'd strained a
bayful, they got three ounces, and
by the time they had strained the
whole ocean through their sieve,
didn't they have enough gold to fill
bag. Curly was right. The
gnomes had emptied the Fairy
Queens gold into the water. The
Twins flew off at once to her palace,

in the wage dispute, as announced
by it from Chicago Friday. 1t is high
time that the government, through
some agency fitted for the task, as
serted itself and demonstrated that
the government, with its 10, 100000
ciizens, is greater than all the rail
roads of the country put together, or
all of the labor unions of the country
OF all of them combined. The
public long ago has tired of being
made "the goat for either capital
or labor whenever a dispute arises
and having to bear the brunt of the
battle, suffer the Inconvenience and
pay the bills in the end, besides
shouldering the tremendous losses
accruing to the nations business as
a result of these disputes.
1T doesn't matter so much which
side is right and which side is
wrong The public can be depended
upon to want to see the right thing
done and to see that it is done if
possible. 1t seems highly proper
and desirable, therefore, that this
Railroad Labor Board, with both sides
to the controversy and the public
equally represented in its member
ship, should take charge of the dis
putc, command the warning parties to
come before it with their grievances
ard with all the facts in their pos
session, and then to render a decis-
ion as a court of justice. Certainly
Justice will more likely be approx
mated by discovery of the facts and
calm judging of them by such
court, and with all interested parties
equally represented in the judging,
than by display of force with its
attending disaster to business, fan
ming of passions, horrors of hunger,
and a hundred other cursed fea-
lures
The government has spoken
through its Labor Board, duly set up
by an act of congress. We shall see
now whether this is a struggle of
might over right, or whether both
sides to the controversy are willing
to lay the facts before this peoples
court and abide by its findings.
