PETER GNOME.
"WLARY GRAHAM BONNER

II want TO call a meeting today OF
the Every-Day-Is-Nice Club" said Pc
ter Gnome.
To-day ii has rained and the autumn
leaves are wet, but the sun comes out
every once in awhile and the sun
shines through the leaves which are
still on the trees. What lovely colors
they are, too!
"Such beautiful yellow shades, and
reds and scarlets and pinks and
browns.
"When the sun comes out the leaves
can be seen down in the clear, beau
tiful lake below, and when the sun
goes under a cloud and some of the

"Oh yes, In the autumn sunshine
everything is so gay and dazzling and
bright and brilliant, but when it is
rainy all the colors are so soft and so
pretty. Truly every day is nice"
"We agree with you," said the other
Gnomes.
$50 do we," said the Brownies.
$50 do we," said the Elves.
"And we love every day, too" said
the Fairies. There is always some
thing to be done on every day, no
matter what kind of a day 1t is, and
II we don't want to play out in the
open on rainy day, think of the
games we can play in the hollow trees
and in-the caves"
"Of course we can," said old Mr..
Giant, "and was thinking this very
day 1t would be nice to have a party
in honor of Peter Gnome and In honor
Of his Every-Day-Is-Nice Club.
"Instead of a meeting today" said
old Mr.. Giant, show about a party in
my cave?"
"Fine, fine" they all shouted.
So they all went off to Peter
GnOmes cave.
On the way there they passed a
sheep dog sitting in wagon in front
Of a farmhouse.
"What are you doing?" asked Peter
Gnome as he passed. You don't loob

The Opening Of asLiIy.

The comparatively rare instances
in which the motions of plants. such
as the opening of buds into blossoms,
occur during a single brief period of
watching, always give much pleasure
to the onlooker.
An English botanist, who has spent
much time in India, tells of a species
Of lily, Crinum augustum, which I'm an

swiftness. Just after shower of rain
In the evening he saw the pink.
striped buds OF one of these lilies. each
about four inches long, on the point
Of opening. Passing the plant shortly
afterward, he was surprised to find
the blossoms wide open, and In 20
minutes more the petals had curved
themselves backward like rams horns
In an hour the points Of the METALS
had swept over an arc Of at least eight
or nine inches.

tone.

Sorry" Peter echoed impatiently.
But it's quite out of the question, of
course! It's quite out of the ques-

for an Instant he suddenly decided
in great satisfaction. "You mustn't
forget that she has something to do
with it! Very fastidlous, Cherry.
She's not like other girls !" ...
That's true-that's true!" Doctor
Strickland agreed, in great relief.
They turned back toward the garden,
In time to meet Alix and several dogs
streaming across the clearing. Over
the girls shoulder was eoiled the
great rope; she leaped various logs
and small bushes as she came. and
the dogs barked madly and leaped
with her. Breathless, she stumbled
and fell into her fathers arms. and
both men had the same thoughts, one
that made them smile upon her tom

II have to walk down for the man
=" stammered Cherry, conscious only
of Martin, and herself.
Both Peter and her father were
watching her with an uneasiness and
suspicion that had sprung into being
full-blown. Both men were asking
themselves what they knew of this
strange young man who was suddenly
a part of their intimate little world.
Peter, in his secret heart, had
vague, dissatisfied feeling that Lloyd
was man who held women, as
class. rather in disrespect, and had
probably had his experiences with
them, but there was no way OF eX-
pressing, much less governing his
conduct toward Martin by so purely
speculative a prejudice. Somewhat
appalled,, in the sunny garden, strug-
Cling with the banksia, Peter decided
that this was not much TO know of a
person who might have the audacity
to fall in love with an exquisite and
innocent Cherry. After all, she would
not be a little girl forever; some man
would want to take that little corn
colored head and that delicious little
pink-clad person away with him some
day, to be his wife
And suddenly Peter was torn by a
stab of pure pain, and he stood puz-
zled and sick, in the garden bed, won
dering what was happening TO him.

pole, and Mr.. Lloyd has gone up into
the woods to cut one"
"And where's Cherry?' Peter asked,
drinking deep.
"She went along-just up in the
woods herei" Alix answered. "They'Il
be back before you could get there.
They've been gone five minutes!"
Five minutes were enough to take
Cherry and her lover out of sight of
the house. enough to have him put his
arm about her, and to have her raise
her lips confidently. and yet shyly,
again to his. They kissed each other
deeply, again and again.
Their talk was incoherent. Cherry
was still playing. coquetting and smil-
ing, her words few, and Martin, hav-
ing her so near, could only repeat the
endearing phrases that attempted to
express to her his love and fervor.

love you? You Darlington little ex-

Cherry answered breathlessly:

"Bow-wow," said the sheep dog. I'm
just guarding over the house. I'm sit
ting in this wagon, with my paws over
the seat, and I'm taking a little dog

Then they went along further and
they saw wagon filled with beautiful
tomatoes.

On they went to old Mr.. Giants
Cave, and there Witty Witch told
them stories of the work Of the Frost
Brothers who had made the autumn
so much more wonderful and brilliant
because they had been out painting
so much.
The Frost brothers had made the
autumn a very, very red and scarlet
autumn, for when the autumn is misty
and not so clear and cold, the colors
are never SO bright, but are paler and
softer.
Witty Witch told Of adventures the
Frost Brothers had. had. And many
adventures she had to relate.
Then old Mr.. Giant got out the re-
freshments and every guest had dish
Of fine winter-green berries and de-
icious cups Of Fairy Spring water.
Then each one was given a little
bunch Of JOhnny-Jump-Up fiowess, for
old Mr.. Giant said:
"These are the right flowers for Mr..
Gnome and his friends. Peter likes
every day and thinks every day is
nice. And these flowers like almost
every day for they're about the first
to come in the early spring, and the
last to go in the very late autumn"
And then Mr.. Giant drove all the
guests home in carriages decorated
with wild asters and Michaelmas
daisies which were deeper and darker
in color than the wild asters. The
carriages were handsome with the pur-
pie and the blue flowers. and as they
drove of Peter Gnome made a low
bow and said:
Every day is nice, but this day has
been one of the very nicest!"
