Fairy Crosses
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

IN Patrick County, Va, there
are 10 many fairy crosses that there
seems to be enough for youthful
collectors to rejoice over for ye4rs
TO come. Last summer some un-
usually beautiful specimens OF these
little stones were found. They were
picked up from the ground by the
handful and there seemed to be
something to the story that was
told later on by native VirginiAn
who lived close by, and who said the
story of the fairy crosses was as old
Is the State and older.
The story is to this effect: Fairies
and wood nymphs had very won
derful glade in which to play and
work. Fairies, as you know, have
much to do with coloring the ex-
quisite flowers. The gnomes and
wood nymphs had been told they
must fill an urn with fresh water,
for an honored guest was to come
that way. When He appeared, He
was weary and His face showed much
sorrow. The fairies felt badly and
asked Him If there was anything
they could do. He said He had
come all the way from Calvary, and
the greatest wrong had been done
One who had lived long enough to
teach those who would listen to Him
to be kind. The fairies felt so badly
they wept. AS their tears touched
the earth they Immediately turned
into tiny pebbles and upon each one
was imprinted cross. Since that
day these strange staurolites have
been called fairy stones.
For many years these stones have
been treasured. They are taken to
. jeweler to have their surfaces
cleansed and polished. There are
three distinct forms of crosses to be
found at the same source. Each is
perfect in form and absolutely true
to type-the cross of st. Andrew,
the Roman and the Maltese. Few
Virginians are without one or more
Of these lovely symbols. The claim
for them is that they bring you
happy days and good fortune.
What really is this stone? Why
do so many wear one as charm or
carry it in the pocket? Theodore
Roosevelt had a very lovely one,
Woodrow Wilson received a present
OF perfect one during his trouble

Bedtime Stories
by THORNTON W. BURGESS.

BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.
News travels very fast in the
Green Forest and on the Green
Meadows. Yowler the Bobcat had
been living in the Green Forest only
= few days before everybody knew
that he was there and great fear
fllled the Green Forest. Peter Rab-
bit no longer went there at all.
Not since the night when he had
seen Yowler over by the pond Of
Paddy the Beaver had Peter ven-
tured into the Green Forest.
Big Tom Gobbler and his family
and Mr.. and Mrs: Grouse and their
family didn't know q minute of
peace and security during the day,
and slept poorly at night. They
actually were growing thin when
they should have been growing fat,
all on account of fear and worry
because of Yowler the Bobcat.
Paddy the Beaver left uncut certain
trees he had planned to cut. They
were farther from the water than
he cared to 60 with Yowler about.
Always timid. Jumper the Hare was
just a bundle of nerves and was
seriously thinking of going back to
the Great Woods, where he had been
born. Happy Jack the Gray Squir-
rel and Chatterer the Red Squirrel
kept to the edge of the Green For
est, the edge nearest Farmer
Browns. Unc' Billy Possum and or
Mrs. Possum retired to their hollow
tree for the winter earlier than they
would have. Whitefoot the Wood
Mouse hardly dared put his nose out
side his home.
It is dreadful to live in q state of
constant fear. There Is nothing in
life much worse. All Joy was gone
from the Green Forest, at least for
the smaller people. Lightfoot the
Deer and Buster Bear didn't mind
because they were too big to fear
Yowler. Prickly Porky the Porcu-
pine didn't fear him in the least
and went about his business as usual.
Billy Mink pretended not to care,
but it was noticed that he kept close
to the Laughing Brook. Jimmy
Skunk wandered about in his usual
independent manner. He knew that
Yowler would be very hungry indeed
before he would bother him. But
all the other little people shivered
with fear whenever they heard 4
leaf rustic.
Then one day Sammy Jay few
through the Green Forest spreading
the news of what he had seen at the
ledge of rocks deep in the Green
Evening star., 1938-12-07

Forest. He told how he had seen
Farmer Browns boy there with q
terrible gun and how he had made q
great smoke which had driven
Yowler the Bobcat out Of the cave
where he had made his home. OF
course, everybody was tremendously
interested. It made some 4 little
uneasy to learn that Farmer Browns
boy had brought out his terrible gun
again, for 1t was long since he had
used It. But Sammy Jay, who Is
sharp and shrewd, was sure that 1t
was intended for use only against
Yowler the Bobcat.
Sammy was right. Several times
Farmer Browns boy visited Yowler's
home, but never again was he
greeted with snarls and growls. At
last he became convinced that
Yowler no longer used that little
cave for a home. Then he hunted
everywhere through the Green For
est without finding q sign OF Yowler.
Il believe that smoking drove him
out Of the Green Forest altogether, :"
he decided at last. IF it did I'm
glad. didn't want to shoot him.
would have left him in peace but
for the fact that he was too danger
Gus neighbor for my friends in
feathers and fur to have around.
hope he has gone for good"
He had Yowler fears man more
than anything else and when he
escaped from that cave he headed
straight back for the Great Noun
tain from which he had come. He
hated to leave such good hunting
grounds, but he just couldn't stand
being hunted himself. So back he
went to his old hime, where man
seldom came.
1t didn't take the little people Of
the Green Forest much longer to
learn that Yowler no longer was
hunting in the Green Forest than
1t had taken them to learn of his
arrival there. At once they began
to breathe freely again and happi-
ness once more reigned in the Green
Forest. And 1t was all because Of
Farmer Browns boy.

The fairy stone is, according to the
report Of the United States Geologi-

drafted iron-aluminum which has
crystallized In the orthorhombis
system. Such stones are black or
reddish brown and have q deep
resinous luster. To those familiar
with the properties Of tho stone, it
is staurolite which is q silicate of
iron, aluminium and water.
The stones are opaque and very
hard. The scientific name means
cross and stone. Mineralogists,
chemists and geologists have found

fairy stones also in the New Eng
land States as well as in North
Carolina and Georgia. Fine speci-
mems have been picked up In France,
Brittany, Tyrol and Switzerland.
Fairies are said to have been instru-
mental in their appearance In each
place.
In the mountains may be found
countless numbers of the fairy
crosses imbedded in the stones. The
wonder of all is that the cross is
really a perfect twin and is an ex-
ample of amazing intergrowth Of two
prismatic crystals at nearly right
angles to each other. Further, each
crystal is a six-sided prism.
Though tons of fairy stones have
been gathered and sent to the mar
kets you may 60 today wherever
they are to be found and bring back
with you fairy stones for the family
and friends. What is the mystery
Of these jewels Of the clay that only
have to be given q bath In oil to
bring out their deep luster and pro-
vide an attractive talisman?
