magic hour came around and King
Oberon changed them all into spiders
which scampered to the dell as fast
as their legs would carry them.
The little Fairies and their Queen
were sitting around a cobWeb table
cloth spread upon the ground eating
fairy food when all at once from
the tree and bushes dropped those
naughty spider COLLINS right in their
midst.
Up jumped the Fairies crying out
with fright and away they ran, hiding
under all sorts of things to escape
their tormentors.
But the COLLINS were not satisfied
with frightening the Fairies once ;
they ran this way and that, trying to
find them and send them fitting about
like so many scared little butterflies.
When the Fairy Queen saw the
spider COLLINS looking for the Fairies
she knew that some charmed spell
was upon them and when she touched
one with her wand and that did not
change it to a Goblin she knew that
it was King Oberon's work, for she
could not undo his work until his hour
was over.
So she whispered to all of her
Fairies telling them not to be fright.
ened, that it was the mischievous Cob
Inns and that they would be sorry
little fellows if they could be kept in
the dell until the magic hour of King
Oberon's power had passed.
So the Fairies pretended to be very
much frightened and the COLLINS in
tent upon their FRANKS and thinking
it was great fun stayed until the sun
was up.
They scampered off in a hurry when
they saw the light, but. of course,
King Oberon had gone home long be
fore.
ooh, what shall we do?" moaned
the COLLINS, for in their spidery forms
they could not give the magic signal,
the three knocks that opened the door
to their homes inside the moss-covered
rocks.
And there the Queen and her Fairies
found them, for they followed them
soon after they ran, well knowing
what would happen and if anyone
begged hard to be helped out of trou-
Bile those mischievous little COLLINS
did when they saw the Fairy Queen.
They promised to be good, they
promised never, never again to go to

dolorous, though it affected to be who'll
ly the latter; for the shock to Fred
was by no means so painful as it was
to his friend.
Ramsey leaned forward and read
the name Indicated by Fred's fore
finger.
DORA YOCUM.
When they got back to their
pleasant quarters at Mrs. Meigs', fac
ing the campus, Ramsey was still I'M

lamentable discovery; nor were his
companions burlesquing efforts to con-
sole him of great avail, though Fred

out that a university was different

attended the first meeting to organize

you? You see what happens?"
But after that she ceased for time
to intrude upon his life, and he admit
ted that his harassment was less grave
than he had anticipated. There were
about five hundred students in the
freshman class; he seldom saw her,
and when he did it was not more than
a distant glimpse Of her on one of
the campus paths, her thoughtful head
bent over a book as she hurried to a
classroom. This was bearable; and in

time or at least in the sunlight, but
one day they had to be out to undo
the work Of King Oberon, who is very
jealous Of the power of the Fairies
and never loses chance to display
his powers Of magic charm.
King Oberon is called the King of
the Fairies, but he really has little
to do with ruling and has power only
during the hour between the night
and day.
One night the COLLINS capering
about came across King Oberon sitting
under a leaf in the woods waiting for
the charmed hour when at his COM
mand all things would be under his
control.

spiders with lots of legsY" asked one

This pleased King Oberon very
much, but he did not tell the COLLINS
that his power lasted only a short
time, and that they might have to
remain spiders until the next night
unless they returned within the magic
hour.
SO the COLLINS called all their
brothers to be right on time when the

of little Dora Yocum, young lady

school, where he and Dora are
classmates, Ramsey continues to
feel that the girl delights to mani

at evening entertainments. In fact in
this country young, unmarried girls
habitually wear lower evening gowns
than their mothers-though among
well bred French women, unmarried
girls are not so privileged.
Now since this is customary 1t IS not
in bad taste, because it attracts no
undue attention and causes no mis-
judgment.
The same thing holds true in regard
to bathing costumes. Had women
worn the sort of bathing suits that
they do now ten or twenty years ago,
they would have been hooted Off the
beaches. But times have changed and
our bathing costumes have changed
most emphatically. 1t does not mean
that we have grown more lax. Doubt
less the tightly laced, exaggerated
figure of two decades ago would give
more offense to the modern taste than
the rather abbreviated bathing cos
tunes. 1t is all question OF what we
are used to.

form and they told the Queen she
was the most powerful among the
magic folk, and they thought King
Oberon only a pretender and not at
all king.
with one wave from the Queens
wand and those of her subjects, the
COLLINS received their own forms
again, and as soon as they had
thanked the Queen and the Fairies
they ran with shamed faces for their
homes, while the Fairies and their
Queen fitted off to Fairyland and
were soon in their beds fast asleep.

of Big Series

Jefferson street and Madison ave-

News Office were lined yesterday
afternoon with fans interested in the
initial game of the annual worlds
series which is being played at the
Polo Grounds again this season due
to the fact that the New York YAM
KEGS and New York Giants won the
American and National League
spennants respectively.
AT 1868 O'Clock yesterday after
noon the batteries for the game
were announced by mega phone
from the News building and few
minutes after o'clock the play ty
clay reports were started. There
was little chance of Judging how the
assembled fans desired the game to
end, but they did like to hear re-
ports regarding hitting. 1t is pos
sible that inasmuch as two New
York teams are entered in the series
the fans here have taken neutI al
stand and are satisfied as long as
there is plenty Of hitting.
Immediately after the last yam
kee batter had been retired in yes-

started to run out the Extra edi-

results in this city.
The News Extra will be made up
and distributed throughout this city

daily for the remainder of the series
with the exception of Sunday.
Jess Barnes, hero of the worlds

Shawkey did not show UP well in
