ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

OFF went the Twins to the house
of the Green Wizard.
Now the Green Wizard lived in the
tree-tops and no one can find his
house except by magic. But the
magic shoes took Nancy and Nick
there before clock could strike
four.
"How do you do. children" said
the Green Wizard. 81 am very glad
to see you. How is my friend, the
Fairy Queen?"
"she's pretty we'll. but she is wor-
ried," said Nancy. "Somebody stole
her bees. She kept them in a golden
hive in her rose garden and some
body came in the night and stole
them. Now she hasn't any rose
honey to put on her bread"
"By the great jumping alligator.
that's too bad!" cried the Green
Wizard. II never heard of such
nerve in all my life. And bees so
hard to get, too. Something will
have to be done at once"
"The Fairy Queen thought that
some of her enemies had taken it,"
said Nick.
"Certainly it was no friend" de-
clared the Green Wizard. "No friend
would steal your very best bees and
then not let on word about it. No
street"
They talked and talked about the
matter and about who would be most
likely to have the stolen hive.
"When think of it," said the
Green Wizard finally. "last night at
moon-up l saw lot of pixies 60 by
carrying something on a board over
their shoulders. It looked sort of
bright and am as sure as flypaper
that it was the golden beehive. The

Yes. sir, I'm as sure now as bottle

"Where do they live?" asked Nick.
"In Pixie Cave about two miles
beyond this forest. The cave is in
rocky glen hard to find and hard
to get out of. They have secret
cupboard which no one has ever
been able to open. Even if you did
find the cave you never would be
able to find the beehive. for there
isn't doubt in the world that they
will put it into their magic cupboard
and keep it there"
"But bees cannot live in cup
board" said Nancy. "They have to
get out in the sun and be among the
flowers"
"Well, who said that this was a
regular cupboard ?" the Green Wiz
ard exclaimed. "It's most irregm-

POETS CORNER

COUNSEL TO A YOUNG MAN
Clasp not the ankle Of the cursive
moon
Nor agitate the stars with your
despair:
They know you not; and singularly
soon
Their beauty shall not be your
nightly care.
Impose your will upon the transient
And order the divergent ways Of
Let East Wind know your spirits
mounting worth,
Let cities know which way you will,
and can.
Join not with dogs in barking a dead
moon,
Increase not mountainous rivers
with your grief,
Granite and dumb, OUTAGE the rau-
cous noon,
Granite and dumb, hold yet your
self in fief.
Assert the heart, and count not loss
or gain
In other metal than the heart allows;
Assert the heart, and know not other
pain
Than that wherein heart may nobly
house:
The pain that stars are stars, that
earth is earth.
That man is man, and that hearts,
too, shall die.
Though multitudinously you prove
your worth.
When. Death confronts you, you will
not reply.

yes, you've heard it called all OF
that. And it is all of that when one
takes the first bewlldered step out
Of the dusk beyond. But familiarity
breeds contempt of scenes as well
as of persons.
Walk along Broadway after the
theatres have dlsgorged their even
ing crowds and only the night hawks
are stringing along the pavement
Here at Forty-second street a penny
arcade, an asthmatic piano heralding
the catch-penny devices within. A
penny a peep at The Girl in the Bath
and For Men Only. Test Your
Strength on punching bag. Test
Your Lungs on a germ smeared rub
Der hose.
And up on the street. Here a
faker with rubber devils. Pull His
Tail and Hear Him Yell. And an
other with The Smallest Deck Of
Cards in the World for Nickel
And another with Dogs That Turn
Flip-Flops. And another with Waltz
ing Dolls.
Here Music Shop with a phono-
graph grinding out the latest jazz
with Souvenirs Of New York in the
window. There an ,auNion, with
baubles and doodads palmed off on
the boobs who bid against each other
and against the house bidders who
know just when to stop running up
the price.
All along the way terrible sounds
from orchestras in dance halls try
ing to intrigue passersby, onto their
stuffy, sweaty floors.
Soft drink stands and peanut
vendors. All the clap-trap of the
honky-tonks.
Why, Broadway is just great
carnival midway with all it's side
shows, it's come-on artists. Just a
big county fair that runs the year
around to trim the biggest rubes in
the world.
Yet, even so, it's great old street.
One of the Broadway dance halls
sought to improve trade during the
sultry nights by ALLOWING men to
dance without their coats. This did
not help business as had been anti
cipated. On the contrary. many reg
ular patrons went to other bathrooms
where the conventions are more
strictly observed. They would rather
have convention than comfort.
It seems ages since have seen a
palm-leaf fan in public use. Boys
used to hop the street cars and hawk
them on corners for ten cents each
Last night l saw pile of them in
the front window of a rather pros
porous novelty store and they were
priced at Is cents each, but the mar
ket seemed dull. And, come to
think of it, I haven't seen a fan of
any kind used on the street recently.
I suppose the coming of weight
clothes for men and the dispensing
of much clothes by women accounts
for the lack of fans. Or maybe this
is something else to be blamed on
prohibition. for remember many a
picture Of a fat man with collar un-
buttoned, sitting with a quenchine
drink in one hand and fan in the
other.
