Who has not felt the fascina-
tion Of CRATE nre in the early
fall? Sitting by the fire. look
ing at the evef-moving pictures
painted there. who has not felt
that there are fairies In the fire
beautiful. wonderful fairies?
One night as was sitting by
the hre. listening to the wind
whistling outside, II seemed as
though r heard the clear call of
tiny trumpet. I looked at the
fre. thinking that It was only a
little air escaping from its pris-
on of firewood. But no, ] rub
bed my eyes; / could not believe
what. saw, for there, in the
hre. saw a tiny .horseman blow
ing a small trumpet with all his
might. I looked closer, and 1t
seemed as though he and his
horse were standing in a small
court. On one side was a row
of small cottages, and at the
back OF the court was a large
castle, like those in the time OF
King Arthur.
Even as I looked tiny people
rushed from the cottages, to see
a large cavalcade with beautiful
banners flying. All were in a
great state Of confusion. Lead
ing the cayalcade was a hand
some young man. On the horse,
in front of him, he was holding
a most beautiful maiden, whose
golden hair streamed out in the
wind.
The whole cavalcade presented
the most wonderful sight l have
ever seen. Dressed in red. green.
gold and rose, with plumes toss
ing from their helmets, and BAN
ners streaming out behind. the
tiny soldiers made a picturesque
scene.

handsome young man. They are

across the drawbridge and
through the large doors, slam
ming them after them. The
drawbridge was drawn up quick
ly, none too soon. Fifty knights
rode up furiously.

Lake, else our curse will fall up
on your heads" shouted the
leader, very evil looking per-
SON.
Never" came back the clear
call from the castle. She is to
be my wife"
Then. Prince Navvin. we will
fight" said the knights in the
court.
As the rufiians spoke. arrows
and spears rained down from the
castle windows. Then suddenly
there was a great crash. I shut
my eyes. When i opened them
l found that the fire was dying
out and only the smoke was
trailing up the chimney. Moth
ing was left of my castle.
Nothing was left OF my castle
and its occupants. Mere ashes
were on the hearth. But I do
hope that the handsome prince
escaped from the evil knights
and married the beautiful
maiden.

Deductions ofHarvey Hunt
BY Philip Francis NowIan.

Whea Morris stedaker, Jew
eler, was found dead before his
once desk, where he had appar-
entity bees whiting . letter. the
police said II was nothing but q
professienal job Of safe-break-
ing with a little murder on the
side. -
But Harvey Hunt found two
facts which knocked that theory
to pieces. He predicted the muir
derer would shortly communi-
cate with the police and that
smother message would inform
then. that this same man had
been mt the jewelers. when
Stedaker met His death. Read
a below how Hunt figured II cut
and what were the two facts
upsetting the police theory.
One of the two facts which upsei
Barnett's theory in the case Of "Th,

Clearly in some manner to furnis,,
an slibi for the murderer. Then the
murderer must have been seen leay-
ing the building. Otherwise he
wouldn't need the alibi. He must
have returned after being seen, to

The other fact was that the lew

Dan was inclined to believe that Gran

where on that tree-clad ridge clues
