the minds of the little travellers. The
Jim had taken their own Magic
Shoes and all their charms, which
were to help them on their trip to the
South Pole.
He brought a checker-board, and
from morning until night the little
folks played. Sometimes Nancy
would win, and sometimes Nick, and
the Jim kept a great long list of
how many games each had wen. Not
once did the twins mention their err
rand, because they forgotten it; but
the wicked wizard, as he watched
them play had not forgotten, and he
took good care that they did not kick
off the bewitched Red Slippers.
Things were going to suit him very

ised the wicked fairy Snitcher-
Snatch at the South Pole that he
would do all he could to keep the
