played with them for while. While
playing Mr.. Barrie thought OF
story about little white bird and
a boy who never grew up Chat is
what Peter Pan was, you know
and so he took one of the boys with
whom he had been playing, a boy
named Michael, for the hero of his
story.
Children in London for many
years have liked very much to play
in the Kensington Gardens and eS-
pecially around the statue of Peter
Pan. There are splendid places to
play and to run races without be-
ing in any danger of being hurt by
passing automobiles. Then, too.
there are many gay flowers in the
gardens which make this lovely
playground all the more inviting
The Round Pond is there just the
same as when first Peter Pan as
the story tells us, sailed over it
several years ago in his strange
boat-a birds nest with a little
white sail
Tnere are many people who pass
the Serpentine and Round Pond ev-
cry day not thinking about fairies
at all but to the children who play
in this English park and who have
heard the story of Peter Pan, it is
ever place where fairies live and
dance and keep house, where
Peter Pan lives-and to their
minds, one of the finest places in
all London in which to play.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-09-24

In the Kensington Gardens in
London Peter Pan still pipes to the
fairies to dance. At least so it APP
pears. For the statue of little Peter
Pan which is placed in the gardens
looks as if he were piping all the
time, and being the fairy orchestra
which important position Mr.. Bar
RE tells us he holds in this place.
III the fairies come out to dance in
the gardens every fair evening,
they come after the gates are
closed or SO we are told in the
story of Peter Pan.
Many of you have read or have
heard the story of Peter Pan told
or have, perhaps, seen the play and
know that ii was written by great
English writer Mr.. they call him
Sir, too, as a title of honor) James
M. Barrie. Perhaps, though many
of you do not know that sometime
rather soon we may see Peter in
pictures for it is now being made
into a motion picture. Mr.. John
Robinson who is getting the picture
ready for us to see, recently made
a trip to London to see the gard
ems, and Mr.. Barrie. Hearing this
made us remember some things
we heard about Peter and his nome.
Did you know there was a real
Peter Pan? This is the way it hap
pened. Years ago Mr.. Barrie was
in a public garden when he
came to a group of children play
ing. He liked to play and SO he

but he never stopped until he was
far out in the country, where he
crept under a stone bridge to rest

late at night. After his good sleep
he felt as strong as ever and
thought he would get something to
eat, the nsee il he could not find
his mother. He found that he was
tied to fence not far from a
little whitewashed building, under
which ran stream of water, but
1t did not take long for him to jerk
himself loose. Going toward the
little white building ne smelled
something that reminded him of
milk. He tried to get in at the
door. 1t was fastened with a
wooden button. but Billy did not
care for that. He went back a
little piece to get run, and
bumped head first into the door,
which flew open at once.
Milk said Billy, shifting
around in delight. Mice, sweet
milk! I'm sure that kind man
would want me to have some"
There was a little board walk
down the center of this spring
house, and on each side of this
were a number of crooks setting
in the water, each one of them
covered with a plate and contain
ing milk A stone was laid on top
of each plate to weight the crock
down in the water and in trying to
nose off one of these plates, Billy
reached over too far and fell. He
landed among the crooks, which,
of course, bumped into each other,
breaking and overturning and
spilling milk and making great
clatter. At the noise, two dogs
came running down and dashed
into the spring-house. where, see
ing something laundering around
in the water, they promptly dived
in after it and Billy found himself
very busy. The noise the dogs
made aroused the man and his
wife, and they, too, came down;
the noise they made aroused the
neighbors on both sides, who
came running over to see what was
the matter; a young man, who was
coming home late from calling on
4 girl, passed by that way and saw
the people from both sides running
TO this house and thought there
must be a fire, so he ran to the
own hall, where the rope of the
ire bell hung outside, and began |
ringing it as loud as he could,
which aroused everybody in the
village. Hearing the commotion,

PART I.

This little plateau where the
goats met the chamois was a beau
tiful place, all carpeted with grass
and backed UP by towering rocks.
At one end was cliff looking out
over a valley. at the further end of
which was little village. Billy,
in his eagerness to see the world,
ran at once to the edge of the
cliff
"You reckless Billy" cried his
mother. running after him. Don't
go so close to that cliff or you will
surely fall over and break your
neck!"
I'm not afraid" boosted Billy,
and actually stood on his hind legs
at the very edge.
Just then few loose stones
came rolling down the ravine. and
like a flash the entire herd of
chamois were gone, leaping across
a broad chasm to little ledge
upon the other side, where there
was second path that led among
the rocks.

Billy's mother. Here come two
hunters with guns, and we can't
jump where they did. Why. it's

many got out of bed and came out
on the streets to learn where the
fire was.
All this time Billy, the cause OF
the hubbub, was battling with the
dogs among the milk crooks in the
spring house, and using his horns
right and left as hard as he could,
until finally he was able to jump
out between them and ON to the
board walk. Out of the door he
dashed, upsetting the man and his

for herself. for she threw herself
squarely between Billy and the
hunters.
The hunters were ignorant fell
lows, and as soon as they caught
sight of the two goats they thought
that these also were chamois, and
one of them, lifting his gun. shot
at them, grazing the head of the
mother goat. She toppled over
against Billy. and that knocked
him over the cliff. If it had not
been for a small tree which grew
out of the cliff about half way
down, Billy would have been
dashed to death, but the tree broke
his fall and SO he only lay in the
valley stunned. while the hunters
picked up his mother and in great
glee carried her away. thinking
they had shot a chamois.
When they got back to their
guide he told them their mistake.
and saw, too. that the goat was
only stunned; so they gave it to
him and he sold it next day to a
man who was buying some extra
goats for Hans Tug, to stock a
goat farm in America.
In the meantime poor Billy lay
almost dead at the bas eof the
cliff, where man found him about
an hour later.
"You poor goat" said the man,
looking up at the cliff. Did you
fall down from that dizzy height"
and he put his hand on Billy's
sleek coat AT least, you are not
dead" he went on, feeling Billy's |
heart beat. T'll get you some /

He took off his little round hat |
and ran back to where tiny |
waterfall came splashing and tum-
bling down the cliff, and. filling
his hat full OF water, brought il
and emptied it on the goats head.
The cool shower revived Billy so
that he raised his head little.
and by the time the man got back
with the second hatful OF water
he was able to drink little. This
revived him still more, and pres
emily he scrambled weakly to his
feet. He stumbled and swayed and
nearly fell down, but by spreading
his feet out he managed to stand
up, and by-tand-by he took a few
steps. With each step he
grew stronger. and after another
good drink he was able to follow
his kind man across the valley
o the little village.

touches here and there that showed
his familiarity with the vessels rig.
He approached the cabin skylight, lift
ed it on the port side. Through it
came the murmur of voices. The
blind man nodded in satisfaction and
widened his grin with a warning
"hush-sh" to his guide.
"We'll fool 'em proper" he Tipped
rather than uttered.
The companion doors were closed,
but they opened nOiselessly. The
stairs were carpeted with corrugated
rubber that muffled all sound. Two
men sat at the cabin table, leaning
forward, hands and forearmS, out
stretched, lingering something. One
Rainey recognized as the captain,
Simms-a heavy, square-built man,
gray-haired, clean-shaven, his flesh
tanned, yet somehow unhealthy, as II
the bronze was close to furnishing.
The other was younger, tall, nerv-
ouSly active, with dark eyes and a
dark mustache and beard, the latter
trimmed to vandyke Between them
was a long, slim sack Of leather, a
miners poke. 1t was half full of
something that stuffed its lower ex-
tremity solid, without doubt the same
substance that glistened in the mouth
Of the sack and the palms of the two
men-gold-coarse dust Of gold!
Rainey felt himself thrust to one
side as the blind man straddled
across the bottom Of the companion
way, towering in the cabin while he
thrust his stick with q thump on the
floor and Numbered, in a below that
seemed to fill the place and come tum-
bling back in deafening echo:
'Karluk ahoyl N'---- - -
The face of Captain Simms paled,
the tan turned to a sickly gray, and
his jaw dropped. Rainey saw fear
come into his eyes. His companion
did not stir a muscle except for the
quick shift of his glance, but went on
sitting at the table, the gold in one
palm, the fingers of his other hand
resting on the grains.
"Jim Lund" gasped the captain
hOarsely.
