war-whoops rent the air, and the
battle was on. All day the fight
went on.
The stranger boy sat stoically in
h center of the enclosure watching
everything, and making no effort to
take part. except twice when he saw
a gigantic Indian brandishing his
rifle at the edge of the woods, en-
couraging his companions behind,
and each time he grunted and begged
for a gun. Dave made u that the
Indian was the m who had treated
the boy cruelty and that the lad was
after a personal revenge.
A last sally was made just before
sunset. a body pushed against Dave
in the tower and Dave saw the
stranger boy at his side with his bow
and arrow. A few minutes later he
heard a yell from the lad which
rang high owe the din, and he saw
the feathered tip of an arrow shak-
ing in the breast of the big Indian
who staggered and fell behind a
bush. Just at that moment there
were yells from the woods behind
the yelIs of white men that were
answered by joyful yells within the

Pasty Mans Party

At last Nancy and Nick and Bus
tins arrived at another part of the
i.and-of-Up-in-the-Air called the
l-and-of-Good-Smells. AS Buskins
had explained. all good smells go up
like smoke. and I'm sure we could
tell the fairyman that unpleasant
ones do too. If you wish to avoid
anything of the sort, my dears, on
The night boiled onions or sauer-

wonderful part of Fairyland, 1t
seemed to the Twins that Thanks
giving and May Day and the Circus
had all got mixed up and come here
.ogether, for they could smell roast
turkey and plum pudding, violets
and roses, peanuts and pink lemon
ade all at the same time.
A portly lolly-pQp met them and

conducted them to the house of the
pasty man where the party was to
be held. The bean-pot man and the
pasty-shop man spent their summer
vacations in this unusual country
among the little fairies they liked so
well.
Now l must tell you, that when
the delicious smells go up to the Sky
they become fairies hat look like
the things they come from. The
smell of roast peanuts becomes d
peanut, the steamy odor of plum
pudding becomes a fat plum pud-
ding, and the sweet aroma of jelly
cake a lovely rod and yellow jelly
cake. The smells from the garden
become flower fairies, the smells
from The woods become tree-fairies,
or pine-cones or acorns, and the
smells from the orchard become
round jolly fruit fairies with rosy
cheeks.
The lolly-pop introduced the
Twins to them all.

Streaks of red ran upward, and
in answer the great gray eye of the
wilderness lifted its mist-fringed lid.
From the green depths came the
luting of a lone woodthrush.
Through them an owl flew on vel
vety wings for his home in the heart
of a primeval poplar.
Deep in the depths a boy with a
bow and arrow and naked, except
or scalp-lock and breech-clout,
sprang from sleep and again took
fight along a buffalo trail. Not far
behind him. three granting savages
were taking up the print of his
m~occasined feet.
An hour before a red flare rose
within the staked enclosure that was
reared in the center of a little clear
ing. Before the first glimmer of day
the gates yawned a little and three
dim shapes moved le%isurely for the
woods-each mar with a long flint
lock rifle in the hollow of his arm, a
hunting knife in his belt and a COON
skin cap OF his head.
At either end of the stockade a
watch-tower of oak became visible
and in each a sleepy sentinel yawn-
ed and shifted the welcome smell of
frying venison below him.
A girl climbing the rude ladder to
the tower stopped midway.
"Mornin', Dave!"
"Mornin', Polly!"
Il was comm to wake you up"
she smiled.
II just walked up" he yawned,
humoring the jest.
"Lyddy!" cried Polly, bring
Dawes breakfast"
At the fire a tall girl rose. pushed
a mass of sunburned hair from her
heated forehead, and a flush not
from the fire fused with her smile.
II reckon Dave can walk this far
he don't look very puny."
A voice vibrant with sarcasm rose
from one of the women about the
steaming kettle.
"Honor!" she cried, Honor San
ders!"
In a doorway near, a third girl
was acknowledgement, deep-breast-
ed.
"Honor!" cried the old woman,
stop wastin' yo' time with that
weavin' in thar an come out here
an hep these two gals to git Dave
his breakfast" Dave Yandell laugh
ed loudly.
Cow-bells began to clang at the
edge of the forest.
There they are" cried Polly.
Come on, Lyddy."
The two girls picked up piggins
and squeezed through the opening
between the heavy gates. The young
hunter entered a door and within
threw himself across a rude bed,
face down.
"Honor!" cried n of the old
women, you go an git a bucket O.
WATER
A few minutes later she was at
the spring and ladling water into
her pail with a gourd.
Honor dipped laziiy.
"Boo!" cried Polly, startling her,
and then teasingly:
Are you in love with Dave. too,
HONOR"
The girl Redeemed.
AS Honor turned abruptly for the
fort, a shot came from the woods
followed by a war-whoop that stop
ped the blood s%huddering in their
veins.
ooh, my Cod" each cried, and
catching at their wet skirts they fed
in terror through the long grass.
They heard the quick commotion
in the fort. heard sharp commands,
cries of warning, frantic calls for
them to hurry, saw strained faces at
the gates. saw Dave bound through
and rush toward them.
Cit in-ever'body-git in
quick!"
From a watch-tower, too. a rifle
had cracked. A naked savage had
bounded into a spot of sunlight that
quivered on the buffalo trail a hun
dred yards deep in the forest and
leaped lithely aside into the bushes
both rifles had missed.
