Puzzling Questions
Doggy and Billy were borne high
i Into the air by the airplanes that had
como to their rescue. They aoated over
the jungle and came to what looked
like an enchanted forest. The trees
seemed miles high, while the flowers
looked as tall as church stceples. The
place was very wonderful and very
beautiful.
The airplanes sped through this for
est with the aviators clinging tightly to
Peggy and Billy. Beyond the forest
they came to a vast stretch Of water
bordercd by beach so broad 1t looked
like desert.
The nviators came down softly on the
beach. Then the children found that
the sands Of the beach instead of being
very small grains, such as the sands
they had known, were as large as peb-
bles.
The whole flock Of airplanes that had
helped to rescue Peggy and Billy from
the many legged creatures In the jun

the airplanes were not airplanes at oil.
And the avintors were not ordinary avi-
ators. They were really flying men
and flying women and flying boys and
flying girls, with wings grown on them.
How wonderful cried Peggy.
staring in delight at the flyers and their
broad and silky wings.
"Jiminety," shouted Billy, and he
stared at them as hard as Peggy.
"Why do you look at Us in such sur
prise?" asked a handsome young chap
one of the two who had grabbed
Peggy from the clutches of the many
legged beasts.
I'VE look at you in surprise because
we never have seen any one like you,
answered Peggy.
"Ha, ha, ha! You have seen us be-
fore," laughed the handsome young
chap, futtering his wings.
Why. where have we seen your"
asked Billy, opening his eyes very wide.
Right in this very place." answered
the handsome young chap with a pleas
ant smile, while all the other nviatorB
laughed until their laughter sounded
like ripping water.
Peggy and Billy looked around the
place, all the enchanted forest. at the
desert like beach, at the pebbly sand, at
the broad sea beyond.
II do not remember having seen this
place, not even in my dreams,' said
Peggy. "You must be mistaken. Per-
haps you take us for some one else.'
Aren't you the girl and boy who
came to Twinkling Isle in the sailboat
steered by invisible sailors?' asked the
handsome young chap.
Yes" answered Peggy and Billy
in one breath.
Didn't you play with the tiny fair
les and enjoy. feast brought you by
the monkeys?"
Yes, we did that" replied Peggy
and Billy.
And when the swamp pirates came,
chasing the tiny fairies away, didn't
you make a black cloud of smoke that
drove the swamp pirates out to sea ?"
Yes, we did that, too replied
Peggy and Billy.
Then, you have seen US before and
you have seen this place BEFORE" de-
clared the handsome young chap.
Once more Peggy and Billy looked
the enchanted forest. Then they shool;
their puzzled heads. There is surely
some mistake!' they insisted.
The handsome young chap laughed.
why, we are the tiny fairies" the
handsome young chap said. And this
is TwinklinS Isle. You wished to
be as tiny as we are and you wished
you could dance as we dance. You
have been given the first part of your
wish and now we will have wings made
for you so you can have the second
