The baby-doll stare and the brazen

Instinctively many realize that the
narrowed lids accompany concentration

ceal this they swing to the other ex-
treme, and consciously hold the eyes
wide open. It's not to be confounded
with the normally wide-open eye It's an
Imitation OF 1t. The difference between
tho genuine and the imitation is easily
detected when you look for It. The
imitation is always a bit forced. and

and the winged girls.
Eyes, we are the very snme fairies
who danced about your sailboat when
you came sailing into our bay" said
the handsome fairy who had first spoken
to them. 1--WE look different to you
now because you are as small as we
are."
Peggy and Billy saw this was the
truth. The jungle in which they had
found themselves was, of course, just
the tall grass, while the enchanted for
est was only the grove beside the bay.
'But how is 1t that we hear you
now?" asked Peggy. 'The tiny fairies

laughing gayly. "You couldn't hear US
because we were SO small and you were
30 large"
Come dance with us! Come dance
with us!" sang the fairy boys and
girls:
handsome young flyer went on. but
first you must be fitted with wings by
Legs, the wing maker"
Peggy and Billy thought that would
be fine. They were eager to be fitted
with wings by Legs, the wing maker.
The handsome young flyer, who ex-
plained that his name was Filter
Flash, took Peggy by one hand, while
second gallant flyer took her other
hand. They rose into the air and fut-
tered along the beach until they came
to deep valley shaded by giant trees.
After them followed Billy, borne by
other flyers.
The fairies alighted on a huge rock
before what looked to be the mouth
Of a cave. A second glance, however.
showed them that the cave was nothing
else than the open end Of hollow log.
Across the opening hung beautiful
tapestry curtain, woven like the finest
Of lace.
Peggy was admiring this tapestry and
thinking that Legs, the wing maker,
must be very fine wing maker indeed
to have such u curtain in front of his
shop. when the fairies began to sing a
song:
Mister Legs. Mister Legs, come out of
your nest.
We want wings, we want wings-your
very best"
In answer to this call there was n
stirring away up at the top corner of
the tapestry where the lace seemed to
form nest. A door opened and pair
of beady eyes glared Mt the fairies. Then
out darted great creature, looking as
big as an elephant to Peggy's and
Billy's tiny eyes. 1t gave a quick look
Mt the children, then rushed back again
into its nest.
"Oh. it is monster spider"
shrieked Peggy. who didn't like spiders.
"Yes, 1t is u spidcr--the most skillful
spider weaver on all Tinkling Isle. This
is Legs. the wing maker" explained
Filter Flash.
Again the song of the fairies arose:
"Mistcr Legs, Mister Legs, come out of
your nest,
We want wings, we want wings-your
very best
Peggy wasn't sure she wanted wings,
now that she had seen the wing maker.
But she was to get them and so was
Billy, as will be told tomorrow.
