| Pcterkins, land / shall never he able
to marry her, even il had the charm
which will free her" He had fallen
in love with her before he was out of
the silvery blue boat, but he was only a
poor nobody; he could never make her
his wife.
Did the Ogre cast his spell over
you and the Others in any place but
the tower" asked Peterkins.
The lady told HIM they had al been
changed in the tower and when he
wished them TO take on another form
it was always there he cast the spell
over them.
Go TO the tower" said Peterkins.
Wait for me there" And while the
lady went up the steps TO the tower
Peterkins went down the steps that
he'd to the dungeon under the castle.
Tho light that came in through the
small windows showed him strange
sight A lion, leopard, a bear, IL
tiger and two white horses sat there
looking very unhappy and when they
saw Peterkins they began TO cry again.
But he called to them TO be still,
and it was q strange processj on that
went up the steps to the tower? Peter
kins ahead and the animals behind IN
single file.
When they reached the top, where
the Lady of the Misty Blue was wait
ing, Peterkins told them he was sure
this was the charmed spot of all the
castle, and that he thought he knew
the words that would break the spell
which held them. They all stood very
still while he repeated:
Observation-Disclosures
| Change their shapes TO suit my whlm.
The tower trem bled. a fash Of
bright light was seen and then all was
as dark as the darkest night, and
when they could see again they were
standing by the lake where they had
all first bcheld the Lady of the Misty
Blue.
The animals were all men again
and, after thanking Peterkins for
their escape, they all hurried off TO
their homes.
The Lady of the Misty Blue no
longer wore her blue covering. In
stead she wore simple dress and
heavy shoes such as the peasants wear.
Are you not u Princess?' asked
/ Pcterkins.
"Oh, no; am only poor girl with
out any one to care for ne.
you are more than a Princess, re-
Piled Peterkins, now very bold. you
are a Queen, my Queen you shall be,
if you will marry me, though ] have
nothing to offer but my heart"

can any girl be than the one who rules
supreme in the heart of the man she

HOW MADGE FOUND DICKY

With my heart pounding violently
against my side l reached Dlcky's
car and steadied myself against it,
while a dozen wild conjectures flashed
through my brain. In imagination
l saw him killed in divers fashions, and
was visuslising his body hidden in the
forest nearby, when from the other side
of the car, beneath which he evidently
had been lying, Dicky rose with an
air of belligerencc that would not have
deceived Junior.
"Welll Whatdo you think you're do
ing now?" he clustered.
paid no attention to his words, not
ing only the fash of unutterable relief
in his eyes and the hoarseness of his
voice with touch OF tremulo in it. The
next second was round the car, wildly
clinging to him.
"Oh, Dicky You're alive! You're
alive ~ caroled thankfully.
At the first touch of my hands he
made slight movement as if to thrust
me away from him-patently the last
flaring of his furious wrath-but the
next instant his arms went round me
roughly, crushing me in so tight an
embrace that could scarcely breathe.
You're alive l murmured again
banally, but 80 ohseessed had l been
with the thought of possible accident
to his car that could think Of nothing
else.
Welt So are youi" Dicky growled
Then he held me off by the shoulders
looking at me for a second or two with
an expression that had seen only a
fau- t,,noS r,op h,s faro and fhnp op1,
when he was greatly moved.
Dicky's Indictment.
LET me tell you something, my dear,
he said slowly "Of course. realize
that l WAS an objectionable, abysmal
brute, and all the rest of it when | got
out of the car and yelled to YOU, but
bad ms it was, it wasn't one, two, three
TO that insane performance of yours
Why didn't you get out of the car and
knock me for goal with the starting
crank if you had 20 let off steam? Why
did you drive recklessly, dangerously
away"
He shut his eyes, drawing a deer
breath, and then:
I'm not talking about any effect or
myself or even you now" he went on
"but I've never known YOU to go com
pletely off your trolley before-you'
always had marvellous amount of self
control-but ! want you to stop ant
think hard right now what it woule
have meant to Junior if anything haC
happened to YOU. 1t would have mean
not only the loss of his mother, but pos
sible disgrace"

WEARS FIRST LONG
PANTS IN PRISON
Slxteen-Y ear-0Id Boy Gets Life
Sentence for Murder of His
F0Ster-M0ther.

Laporte, Ind.-John Mollick, six
teen-year-old orphan Of this city, has
realized every boys ambition to don
the raiment Of man. He Is now
wearing his first long pants. But his
new suit Is that of convict and he
has been sentenced to wear 1t for life.
John, attired In knee pants, entered
the gates of the Indiana state prison,
at Michigan City, under life SEN
tence for murder.
Never In the history of the prison
had boy in knickerbockers crossed
its corridor of signs Warden Edward
]. Fogarty and his aides received a
slistlnct shock as the boy stumbled
into the warden's Office to be ques-
toned and assigned number and
convict's garb.
Mollick had been convicted of
shooting and killing his foster-mother
Mrs. Robert Stoltz. AS he was taken
to a small cage among the 'lifers,"
the hardened criminals, doomed to
spend the rest of their days behind
prison bars, gulped as they peered
with wondering eyes at the youth.
The boy was dealt his heavy SEN
tence by Judge LOring after a trial
that lasted three days. His aunt, Mrs.
Catherine Maree Of Chicago, en-
plOyeed one Of the two lawyers who
defended the boy. Their insanity plea
was quickly overthrown. No evidence
was offered at the trial that the boy
was badly treated at the Stoltz home,
and it was shown that he shot the
woman In cold blood. The states at
tOrney asked the death chair. but the
jury demurred a point and made 1t
life Imprisonment. Many protests are
being filed against the sentence and
u movement Is also under way to con-
tinue the fight to have the boy ad
judged insane.
