Again Peggy wished without thinking.
And again she was punished for it.

slso found themselves swimming. They
we're right in the tumbling sea.
Above them fitted Magisco. the fairy
magician, who had been shut up in the
diamond with the pirates for hundreds
and hundreds Of years. Magisco was
still trying to tell them something, but
Il wasn't until they remembered to use
their ear trumpets that they could hear
him, for he had tiny fairy voice,
while they had regular human ears.
'"Hoity -toity !" exclaimed Magisco,
using the language Of long ago. "Hoity-

But this time, strange to say, her
wish didn't work. She and Billy stayed
right where they were, swimming with
one hand In the tumbling sea. and with
the other holding up their ear trumpets
90 they could hear what Magisco, the
magician, had to say.
"Holty -toity, and alas and alack :"
cried Magisco again. "Your wishing

Billy together.

girdles in which natural-col-
ored polished wood beads
alternate with bright ones Of
henna, orange or brilliant red.
Each girdle is finished with an

MERGER CONFEREES ARE
SILENT AFTER MEETING
Hold Three Hour Session at District
Building-To Meet Again
Tuesday.

Merger conferees. after a session at
the District building today lasting
nearly three hours. adjourned until
next Tuesday. Engineer Commission
er Kutz declined to say whether any
progress had been made at the ses-
sion looking toward a voluntary con-
solidation of the local traction in
tereSts.
At the previous sessions Col. Kutz
has reported that progress was be-
ing made. Today he stated that there
was nothing he could say for publi-
cation.
In some quarters the opinion has
prevailed that todays meeting would
be the turning point in the merger
conference There have been predic-
tions that if an agreement were not
reached today the conferences would
be discontinued.
Representatives of the two traction
companies left the Office of Col. Kutz
shortly after 1 O'Clock. but would
give no indication as to whether the
meeting had furthered the efforts that
had been in progress to effect a mer-
ger. The fact that another meeting
has been called. however, was accept
ed as an indication that the conferees
have not entirely abandoned hop. of
being able to effect an agreement.
