A DISGUISED FAIRY
AND THREE WISHES

Once there was two little girls.
They were very poor. Their
mother was dead. Their father
had to go to the forest and cut
wood for their living.
One of the girls Vas eight years
old and the other was ten years
old.
The smallest girl was named
Alice Guyer and the oldest girl was
named Betty Guyer.
One evening they heard a loud
knock at the door. Alice ran to
the door. There was an old wo-
man standing at the door. She
asked for something to eat and
drink. Alice gave it to her. Then
she said she could not thank them
enough. The old woman was really
a fairy. So she gave them three
wishes for a nice home, and for a
nice clothes and for good health.

THE MYSTERY OF
THE COLD WATCH
CHAPTER IL
In the Tree

In the Tree
Bob and Jane are visited by Jim,
q second cousin to Phillip, who had
died. Jim tries his hardest to buy
a gold watch. that Bob had found
in the attic. That night when Bob
and Jane had gone to bed. Bob saw
a face of q man in the window. He
reached for. his gun and the man
disappeared. Bob got out OF bed
and dressed. Then he went out Of
the house, just In time to see flee
ing figure going toward the woods,
about q hah-mile away. We will
follow this man to his destination.
The man went faster when he
saw Bob coming,
Il hope he don't see where go"
said the man.
All of q sudden he jumped behind
q large oak tree. This tree had .
door In 1t that opened by pushing
q button just above the door, which
was the shape Of a bump or warty
place on tree.
Fox 1.-THE map that Bob was chas-
ing) stood just inside the secret
door and listened. He heard Bob
come up to the tree and feel all
around.
II hope he gets in!" he said to
himself and laughed.
Bob had felt the knob, but it did
no good so long 90 Fox held on to
the ring which was attached In
some way to keep the door from
coming open. After a while Bob
went away and Fox went down
some steps which led into a large
room, and where Jim awaited him.
There were six other men with him.
We'll, did you get IT." asked
Jim.
mo, Just as l getting ready to
my face in the window, that fellow
you call Bob caught sight Of me"
Il must have that watch" said
Jim. That watch viii not run be-
cause there are no works in it. Any
how the back Of II is locked and
I've got the key" and he took a
small box from his pocket and
showed them the key.
1t was very small, and It was also
made of gold.
IF you fellows can get that gold
watch for me, l will pay you vel"
said Jim.
How should We get it?" said one.
II don't care how you do 1t. But
should say that You should force
Bob to give II to you. Then l will
tell you what else to do" replied
Jim.
Then all the men began drinking
except Jim, who wanted to keep
his head clear. T
! When Bob came back home, he
found Jane anxiously waiting for
him.
II just know there Is going to
be trouble between jim and u.s." she
said. -.---.... -..
Yes, but this wasn't Jim that
looked through the window" said
Bob. .--.
Then 1t must have been one OF
his hired men," ~--
II don't see what they want with
that old watch" said Jane.
Bob. told Jane of the queer dis
appearance Of Fox.
We'll, it isn't going to do them
any good to want it, because they
aren't going to get It," said Bob
angrily.
"Is that so?" sneered voice
from the window behind them.
Jane andBob looked behind them
and saw a man coming through the
window with gun pointed at them.
Now you just take your choice
Give me that watch or you'll both
die."
