THE COLLINS CIRCLE

NNCE in a far.off land there lived
" a band Of COLLINS, and once every
year on night when the moon was
full these COLLINS held a dance In the
Goblin Circle.
The Goblin Circle was a round, bare
spot In the middle OF the woods and
ON a particular night, called COLLINS
Night by the magic people, at the full
Of the moon, any one who entered this
circle other than the COLLINS was In
stantly changed from his own shape
to that OF a little Goblin.
All the Fairies and the Elves and
the Pixies and Gnomes and other
magic folk on COLLINS Night kept far
away from Goblin Circle, for none Of
them wished to become q Goblin.
Now not far away from Goblin Cir
Gle lived a lazy fellow named Tim. He
did not help his mother, who was q
widow, as he should, but instead lay
under q tree In the shade all day

creatures / have heard of called Cob
Inns, but | never believed there were
any"
Nearer and nearer crept Tim until
he was close to the Goblin Circle hid
den behind bush on top Of rock.
The COLLINS antics were so funny
that Tim forgot he was hiding, and
when one little Goblin stood on the
head of another and jumped with q
funny twist of his queer little body.
Tim laughed out loud and tumbled OF
the rock right into the Goblin Circle
The dance stopped and all the Cob
Inns fell upon poor Tim and before he
knew what was happening; he was no
longer big lazy Tim; he was a little
Goblin Just like the others.
As there were no lazy COLLINS Tim
had to work. They made him jump
and dance, they made him roll big
rocks and open the doors to their rock
houses, and finally when the dance
was over they carried him OF to their
underground homes and set him to
work.
or course, they all worked. too, but
to Tim, who had never worked, 1t
seemed there was no time to rest.
How long he stayed with the Cob
Inns he could never tell, but one night
when they all came out Of the rocks
for a dance in the Circle, Tim waited
until they were busy hopping and
jumping and he took to his heels and
off he ran.
He was almost home before he no.
ticed that he was again the big Tim
he had been before he fell into the
Goblin Circle, but he was no longer
Lazy Tim, for, now he was home once
more, he felt sure that his lazy habit
had something to do with having to
work so hard for the COLLINS.
He stayed away from the COLLINS
Circle, too, for now he believed In the
COLLINS and he did not wish to be In
their power again, but he did not
know that II was u year from the time
they caught him that the COLLINS let
him 60.
II is only on the full of the moon on
COLLINS Night, when the COLLINS dance
in the magic circle, that any one can
escape II he has been unfortunate
enough to be caught In the circle and
changed into Goblin.
So II any one is lazy and will not
help his mother he better be careful
not TO wander near the Goblin Circle
or he will have to work whole year
as hard as Tim did.

THE FINGER NAILS

THE subject OF the finger nails and
\ their indications has been touched
upon, but Is continued because there
is much that can be gained from de-
tailed study OF these horny projections
for the tips of the fingers. In fact, In
ancient times certain soothsayers pro-
fessed TO be able to read persons en-
tire past, present and future from
study of the finger nails.
II the nails are short, broad rather
than long, and the skin grows far up on
them, you may read In them strong
personality, but with tendency to-
ward too much criticism Of others. The
possessor will seek to dominate and
control In circumstances affecting him
self and his surroundings. He will be,
often. a person hard to get along with.
The type has its good points, of course !;
among them are order and regularity.
II the nails described occur on spatu-
late nngers-thst Is, fingers which
broaden at the end or tip-and the
thumb Is short, the owner man or
woman. will have a passion for tidying
up, arranging and rearranging his or
her surroundings, seeking always TO
attain the perfection OF orderliness.
