It was just like any hotel transaction. They regis tered their names, picked out their rooms and paid a week's rent in advance.

They had gathered to gether In a deep woods, quite near here, on a beautiful starlight night to discuss the faults of the children In the different lands from which they came. '- The German fairy said that one day she had Been Hans pull Grctchen's long blond braid so hard that-' she cried for quite a long time. They were playing In a room by themselves ,and he did It because he knew no one could sae him. A French fairy said that one n!ht when Yvonne and Pierre had been put to bed and told to go to sleep, Yvonne thought It would be gTfat fun to see how brave ! not seen, so I Ro she drew her fur muff i arrange for a very auddenly across his face and let It fall behind the bed. Tierre shrieked In terror, but when the nurse came In there was nothing at all to be seen and poor lierre was scolded when he had done nothing wrong. An Italian fairy said that one day Mar gheiita. who waa very fond of spaghetti, went into 'the ; kitchen when no one was there and in trying to eat all she could In i to fix Placky Little Maau "You're a liar!" drawled the little man. "What!" mared the big man. clinching one huge fist. "Ho you dare to call me that, you poor, puny, pitiable little puppy T' "I do!" exclaimed he who waa poor and puny and pitiable. ''If you apeak another word, you great lump of podgy pork, I'll soon cut you short! - "Cut me short, you chees-mltef ' shouted the enraged giant.

When the Clock Struck Jf (Ce.-rljht, mi. by the N. Y. Herald Co.) Wheiv Randolph Palmer waa 8 years old. his father wished him to learn to ten time instead of depending any longer upon other people for It. One morning a strange thing happened. Mr. Palmer asked Handy what time It was. Away" darted Randy, proud to put his new accomplishment to use. He came back a moment later to say that all the clocks In the house had van ished and then the Palmera dlsvered that all the clocks In the town were gone, too. 'Papa," asked Randy In the midst of thr excitement 'this diacovery caused, "wno was that fellow that they call the thief of time? Maybe he la guilty of this bur "Do you mean Proscrastlnatlon, asked his father with twinkling eyes.- "I hardly think he has much to do with It. i u tell you gome evening, If you remind me, Jimt how old Procrastination gets away with the time, eon." Well, that was tha queerest day that Randy ever knew. Nobody could tell what time It was. because nobody bad anything to tell it with. All the children had rather hoped that sine the teacher could not tell whether or not It waa o'clock there would be no school; but Instead of having a holiday they had shorter recesses, and some of the boys and girls declared that the school kept In an hour longer than u.ual. It was as he was ccming lavk from school that Kandy encountered an old man with long white hair and beard, who woie a dark colored cloak and carried a si y the. though It was not the time of year that there Is any grain to mow. "Why, he looka like Father Time In the picture," exclaimed Randy aloud, too sur prised at the strange garb to be quite polite. "That's Juft who 1 am, my little man," smiled the quevr old man. "Then, ptrhapx, sir," said Randy re- specif all), m.ouraged by the friendly tube, "since your name is Father Time, you could tell us what time It la. Home thieves have stolen all our clocks and watches In this neighborhood and nobody knows one hour from another except as It geta dark or light." "Nobody has stolen your tlme-plores, little man," returned the stranger.' "It Is the clocks themselves tliutjiuve vanished. They have all struck not 'the hour this tltne, but a etrlke like the worVlngmen they are. They're taken sM the watches with them, being near relations. For years now they have worked steadily .twelve hours a day and all night for human beings and not one of you ha ever ap preciated them or thanked them or realized what life would he like without clocks." "oh, but Father Time, we do appreciate thein now, and we have always loved our dear old grandfather's clock. In the hall, and If it would only' come back we would love It more than ever," crleil Randy. Crack! What was that? Uiut had hap pened? The tall figure of Father Time faded away In blue inla.t, and instead of walking home from school along the ave nue Randy found himself curled up In an armchair. It was Haturday afternoon and he had simply been having a nap and a strange dream. Right In front of him, never once having moved from Its place, the quaint, tall, old pmeplece ticked away the hours.
