 T guess I'm getting childish again." he said to himself. Anyhow, | long to see some vio- lets. and l am sick of the blamed of flee anywhoy." "Oh, Miss Smith A girl with a white apron appeared. "If anyone calls me. l am out for an hour or so.''
 Was Surprised Miss smith said nothing. even though she looked somewhat sur prised. No hurry" said the White Fairy, we'll go with him." Out into | the hall they went as the doctor grabbed his hat and other coat and edged into the crowded elevator. There was just room enough for the White Fairy and Tot Tim beside him. Tot Tim felt dizzy as he was hurled. down, down. down into what seemed to him like big well. He l thought he was falling but the White Fairy told him to keep still. It was all right. Then as the doctor hustled out of the elevator and to his big 1 automobile, both fairies snuggled in- to his pockets. After all got well started. they crept out and seated themselves beside him, back of the | windshield, Tot Tim Danced | Tot Tim himself presently grew so excited with his first automobile ride that he sprang up on the back of his seat and did acrobaties. Then presently Tot Tim did laugh right | out loud as plans came to a head. The doctor was just beginning to hum softly in anticipation of very soon being on top of Red mountain l and out among the growing flowers, where there came a harsh crunching. the noise of a big puncture. and the siclSening flattening of his left front 1 tire.
 | You shall never know what the doctor murmured. But he cut every, thing short as down the steps came | flying the ugly little girl, a very much worried look on her face. Sine ! imagined it was her brothers fault for having thrown broken pickle ! jar into the street. "Oh, sir" she be- gan, q am so sorry. I am so afraid 1 it's our fault" and looked up into the doctors face.
 | That ended it. For above all else l the famous surgeon loved his pro fession. and in a second he was | looking, looking, deep Into those queer crossed eyes and before 15 minutes was ended he had been all over the little house, found the mother. talked with her, and had the little ugly girl in his car, flying right back to a hospital He was not the kind of doctor who waits till next week.
 Made Him Dizzy l Goodness, the White Fairy can do 1 things quick" said Tot Tim, and then he stayed about until he abso- lutely saw that everything was all right and he couldn't do another thing more.

And she was so happy, happy Tot Tim heard 1 her tell the doctor that over and over again. and that she didn't know how it had happened unless it was the fairies. The doctor told her he bet it was the fairies, too. He be- | lieved in them. Otherwise 1t couldn't have happened. until Tot Tim felt l just like he must show himself and tell the White Fairy to. but he didn't. Then, all at once, while he was thinking about it, he found himself quite alone.
 Misundervtood He felt ashamed. He felt she had gone because White Fairy would hate anybody who didn't do good for goods sake without letting any body know.
 That put Tot Tim in agony with the fear of being misunderstood. and he cried right out in his thoughts:
 "I didn't want any thanks! I never have wanted any thanks. I only thought it would be cute to let them see us"
