The goblin Thanked the Queen and
then hurried away to tell the good
news to the goblins and the gnomes.
Then next night in the woods all
the little men were outside their rock
doors watching and waiting for the
visit Of the dwarf and the coming of
the fairies.
BY and by up high above the tree
tops appeared the flying white beard.
Down, down it came, the funny round
eyes, looking around to spy out the
hidden goblns and gnomcs.
The dwarf did not see the fairies
who were hidden under every leaf in
the woods and down he sailed to his
fate for just as he came near enough
to let his long beard float near the
ground the fairies with their wands
in one hand came from their hiding
places.
Waving their wands they each with
the other little hand laid hold of &

TO the ground came the dwarf, his
frightened eyes almost popping from
their sockets, for though he tried anC

HOW MADGE WON A FREE
PATH DOWN THE ROAD

l have heard of drowning people iiv-
ing a lifetime in a minute, but ! never
want to come nearer the experience
than the emotions which swept me when
| saw the car which | had eluded swing
across the cross-road and block my path
Ii / kept on in the road | would hit
the other machine squarely, with al
most certain death as the result. Yet
it was unthinkable to stop, especially as
the men in the other car, who with the
pertinacity of intoXication still held their
anger against me because Of my refusal TO
stop when they had signalled me, jumped
from the car as it, stopped and spread
themselves out along the road, whooping
and yelling in irresponsible drunken glee
at the coup they had accomplished.
II only the fences had been down, rs
| they often are in the country! / would
have had chance then to swing out to
one side or the other and bump over
the ruts OF the potato fields. But stout
wire fences guarded both roads on both
sides, and to make matters worse, both
roads were unusually narrow.
When l had first caught sight of the
car as it stopped, it seemed to fill the
road from one side TO the other. But as
| nearcd it ] saw that the drunken
men had miscalculated, and that on one
side between the car and the fence
there might be room for car TO pass.
II was feat al which an expert driver
might have baked, so uneven was the
ground, so close the margin OF width
between the fence and the other car.
But ] could not be worse off than
was, and with desperate little prayer
! swerved my car just as | reached the
other machines, and went crashing and
swaying and humping down g space
through which my soberer judgment
would have said q much smaller Cal
than Dicky's could never pass.
A Mirac ulous Escape.
One running-board scrapcd the wire
OF the fence, the other caught a front
fender of the big car and tore it loose.
Taken by surprise, the men who hac
spread out TO intercept me tried TO gel
out of the way, but | felt the car iolt
twice against something which | knew
was not earth or wood, and a chOru
of screams and oaths following my
progress told me that had inflicted
more punishment than ] had received.

DISCUSS FARM OWNED
COMMISSION HOUSES
AT Three STOCKYARDS
(By Associated PressD

CHICAGO, Feb. Establishment
of farm owned and controlled cooper
ative commission houses at the stock
yards in Chicago, Indianapolis and
Buffalo was to be considered here to-
day at the meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the National Livestock Pro-
dHcers association. Representatives
of the producers in the territory tribu-
tary to those three markets were here
upon invitation of the board to pre-
sent their requests for cooperative
commission house affiliation with the
national organization
John c. Brown, president of the as
sociation predicted today that CO.
operative associations affiliated with
the national organization will be or
ganiZed and ready for business by
April 1. He said that the first ter
minal commission company organized
under the plan at East st. Louis has
in five weeks assumed third place in
amount of business done among the
fifty commission firms at that market.
He said that at ST. Paul, established
Aug. s, 1921, now is the largest at
that market.
Mr.. Brown asserted that the live
stock exchange had attempted to drive
a wedge between the producers and
so divide the farmers but predicted
that the commission men soon would
be forced to lower rates.
