10 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1918. TOURIST RATES PERMITTED FOR WESTERN TRIPS Fare is One-Third Lower for Round Trip and More Stop Over Privileges Are Allowed. Contrary to expectations that no tourist or excursion rates would be permitted by the government railroad administration, cut rates for the sum mer have been offered in a general order which went into effect at mid night Monday. The new rate is one third lower for the round trip. The new rates will be effective un til September 30, inclusive, and give more stop-over privileges than in previous years, since passengers will now be permitted to make stopovers both going and returning. Formerly stonovcr nrivileues were limited f mostly to the westward trip. Ihe new rates hold tor an trans-, continental lines west from Omaha, CHICagO, Dl. J-OUIS aim rvansaa v-nj, and aonlv to passengers bound for Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico. Ontario, Oregon, South Dakota. Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Arizona, British Columbia, Washing ton and California. Railroad officials expect that the new rates will result not only in an increase of the excursion traffic but in a new impetus to colonization work. The Union Pacific colonization bureau receives as many as 125 calls a day from colonists. Interest in wheat and stock ranches is particular ly keen because of the high prices now offered for wheat and live stock and there is a considerable westward movement of homeseekcrs.

Denver 658 "Dreamland AdntMrg99 By Daddy-"The Invisible Fairy" S2fi& VX i t CHAPTER II. The Snake That Rattled. (In yesterdsy's chapter Pefgy, made In visible by camouflage perfume, started for Blrdland. On the way abe came near being run down by an automobile on a narrow bridge, but was saved by Blue Heron, who flew out over the water with her. D LUE HERON struggled bravely to keep Peggy above the water, but her weight was too much for him.' In a moment her feet were dragging through the tops of the waves and she was sinking lower and lower. Very sensibly, however, he turned directly toward the shore and before Peggy had a chance to get scared she was safely on land. Blue Heron was exhausted by his labors, for a bird of his size Tiad enough to do to carry himself with out the added burder, of a plump 9- year-oln girl. Uh, Islue Heron, you came just .n time! You saved my life' How can I ever thank you?" cried Peggy. "You don't owe me anything, Prin cess Peggy," modestly replied Blue Heron- ' You saved me from the dun geons of the Giant of the Woods and I'm glad to have a chance to pay some of my ucbt." Bob Olink, who had shrieked his alarm when he saw the auto about to run over Peggy and then turned away so that lie might not witness the ex pected tragedy, was overjoyed at the rescue. His cries soon brought from Birdland a host oi Birds to welcome Fcggy. Reddy Wood Pecker, Homer Pigeon and the others flocked about from every direction. Even Judge Owl woke up and camt bustling along trying to wink the sleep out of his eyes. He had his usual poetic greet ing: Peggy has heard our pleas suppliant fine's going to spank the puzzling Giant "Why, I didn't come here to spank the Giant," protested Peggy. "I came here to put him to work." been spanked when you were small the poetry would have been spanked out of you. Father says poetry can be cured if the spanking is done early enough." "Spanking or no spanking, you'll never get the Giant to work," de clared Reddy Wood Pecker. "Why. who ever heard of Giants working?" I don't see why they shouldn't work," argued Peggy. "They are big ger than other men." Complete the letters of Simon's sign they will spell the name of an army rank. (Answer given tomorrow). Answer to previous puzzle REYNOLDS.

Tourist Bureau Seventeenth Street DENVER, COLORADO "And their laziness is bigger, too,' commented Judge Owl. But for wisdom, fair Peggy, you've won renown; We hope that In this you'll not fall down. "That's slang," -said Peggy, "but not worth wasting time over. Lead me to him." Judge Owl hooted: "Who's the slangy one now? We'll lead you to him." Through the forest they frolicked, but this time Peggy was on the ground instead of in the treetops as she had been before. It wai fun to be back in Birdland, though, and she ran happily along with the birds, un til their sudden silence brought her to a halt. They were at the edge of the clearing in which stood the Giant's castle. Scout Swallow, who was on the watch, swooped down to meet them. "The Giant is fishing," he an nounced. "You'll find him on the river bank." Cautiously they crept to the river bank" and along the edge. In a short They looked around for the Giant, but he was not in sight. As they looked a rumbling snort came from behind a big tree. The Birds flew in their usual mad, panicky way and Feggy was left alone. She started to run, when she happened to remem ber that she was invisible to humans and that the Giant could not see her She halted and turned back. Again came the rumbling snort. This time she recognized it. It was the same kind of snort the Giant of the Woods "If you put him to work you II have to spank him," declared Judge Owl- Spank, oh spank, the err'ng lad; Ills walls of woa are loud and sad But when the npank has done Its work You'll find that he no more will shirk. "I don't believe in spanking and am not going to spank my children," said Peggy. "But maybe if you had had given when he was sleeping in his hammock the time the Wild Geese kidnaped him. "He's asleep," thought Peggy. I'll have a look at him before he wakes up. ' Even though she was invisible, Peggy considered thats he would feel safer if she had some sort v of weapon. On the ground at her feet was a hickory cane, evidently one that belonged to the Giant. She picked it W omen tip and found that it was just what she wanted. Creeping forward she peeked around the tree. There was the giant on the river bank fast asleep. A fish pole was held listlessly between his hands. His head . was leaning up against a tree stump. Peggy glanced up among the trees and she saw that the birds were now cautiously coming back to watch her. but they were care ful to keep at a safe distance. As Peggy looked at the giant there came a tug at ,nis nsnpoie, ana tnen another, the second taking it out of his hands. "He's caught a fish," thought Peg gy, and in an instant sne was an ex citement. She knew how to fish. thanks to her father's lessons. Mov ing swiftly but silently so as not to awaken the giant she worked her way down to the edge of the river just in time to seize the pole as it was shoot ing out into tne stream. Dropping her hickory club she had a battle royal with the tish one the line, a bat tle in which she finally triumphed, landed a splendid big bass. As she threw the fish back on the bank, still attached to the line and pole, she heard a peculiar whirring noise. She seized her hickory club and climbed up beside the sleeping giant. Again came that queer whir ring, like a big fly caught in the folds of a newspaper. fied-t0 see a ,arge snake coile(1 behind Looking down, reggy was horri- the giant. Its tail was shaking rapid ly and this made the odd whirring. Its head was drawn back menacingly. "A rattlesnake," thought Peggy. "And its going to bite the giant!" Afraid as she was of snakes, Peggy jumped forward and brought she club down on the rattler's head. At the same instant the giant awoke and leaped to his feet. (Tomorrow will be narrated a strange talk which the Giant has with the Invisible stranger, who has come to hia -pseue.)
