ft J" '-rr' 1 DON'T suppose two noses
Fab 3 I were ever pressed more for!
lornly against a windowglass
than those belonging
to Jerry and Sally. If you
rTjftk./MJi# were to look at them from
the outside, in their front.
vflPfl. for instance, the.v
would not seem like noses
at all ; you would say that Jerry and
Sally had small, white pears on their
faces, and pretty squashed pears at
that! This is what a window-glass
does to two children who have the
whooping cough and are standing as
closely as possible against the nearest
thing to getting out?a window.
Jerry dug his fists down Into his
pockets and looked as cross as a bear.
Sally blinked very fast to keep the
tears from rolling down her cheeks,
and-her two pigtails quivered unhappily.
v
"We'll miss the party and the games
and the goodies . . . and everything?"
bhe wailed.
"I don't cqre about the old party I"
declared Jerry scornfully. "What I
want is to get out and make a snowman.
Look at all.jthis perfectly good
snow going to waste I I call it a
shame!" And you would have thought
by his tone that all blizzards were invented
for the express purpose of gh
ing little boys the opportunity of playing
In It.
"Mary Randall's going to wear her
new pink dress and her slippers!" ;
sniffed Sally, "and I have a red dress
and new slippers to-o-o!" This last 1
thought was almost too much, and one
large tear did manage to tumble ovtr
and down her cheek. Jerry pretended
not to^seo it. Perhaps he was having
trouble with his own eyes, though of
course b^ys never cry, not even when
tomorrow s Christmas and everything
ie st>ollc-d because of whooping cough. }
"Mother said we should have to have i
a party hy ourselves and make bellete
that lots of people came to It,"
said Sally.
Jerry grunted. He didn't care much
for this make-believe stuff?too slssL
fied. "Let's sit down In front of the
open fire," suggested Sally, "and tell
stories. I'm tired of looking out of
the window. Perhaps something nice
will happen; who can tell?"
So the two children settled themselves
in front of the fire. They drew
up two low stools and they each sat
with their elbows on their knees and
their chins in their hands. It was very
warm and cosy. The logs crackled and j
sputtered as though they were doing
their best to cheer other people up, |
and the dancing flames had a regular !
parade up and down the wood. It was
"I Cai: It a Shame!"
late afternoon and growing a little
dark.
Suddenly Sally's pigtails stuck out
sfraight behind her in surprise.
"Whafs that?" she whispered, and
her eyes were big as saucers.
"Where?" asked Jerry, a little star-1J
tied too. j
"I saw something white flit in at the ,
door!" ?
"So did I." I j
The children looked cautiously I}
around. Nothing was to be seen.
Just an ordinary room, a bright fire J
and two children in front of It. ! 5
"Funny?" mused Sally. $
There was the faintest rustle by the 5
clock on the mantel. It sounded like "J
snowflakes talking together. 1 J
"There! I heard something again!''!?
said Sally. 1 j i
Both children stared at the clock 5
for that wus where the sound came 5
from. 5
It was quite dajk by this time, es ?
cept for the light from the logs, so Hi?
was natural that Jerry and Sally die ?
not at first see the little person ^
perched on the edge of the mantel. *
"How do you do?" asked a tiny ?
voice. It tinkled like a fairy sklgh- *
bell. I
"Merely !" exclaimed Sally.
Jerry just winked Ills eyes very faBt. ?
"Here I am up by the clock," tinkled \
the voice again.
And sure enough, there she was In- ^
deed? The children saw her now. A *
wee, slender bit of a thing about the ?
size of a sweet pea. And she was the *
whitest creature you could imagine. *
Snowflake ruffles with crystal trim- v,
ming. Icicle jewels In her hair, and j
eyes bright and frosty as stars. i
Jerry and Sally gasped. Sally s
wanted to jump up and hug her. But *:
(you can't do that with a Snow Fairy; sj
(she'd melt all to pieces In your fingers, ^
,and then where would you be? j
"I have come to pay you a little si
calL" laughed the fairy, "because I'?
like to talk with children who are 111
and can't go out. I just came from a
house down the street where a baby Is
cutting a tooth. Such a cunning baby!
I played hide and seek under Its chin,
and you should have heard him
J
I
Au/iu Th?? W?nt
gurgle! He forgot all about that tooth
that was raakirg so much fuss about 1
coming through. I left him kicking up
I his heels and crowing like a ycung
rooster."
Sally and Jerry laughed. l
"Shall I dance for you?" asked the
Snow Fairy politely. I <
"Oh, yes!" beseeched the children. 1
Up jumped the white little person, i
and in the twinkling of an eye 9he had '
begun. The children never saw such :
dancing In their lives. Never! i
The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top
I of the clock; she whirled like a crystal 1
prism. She jumped down and made a t
low bow to a china shepherdess, and 1
then the shepherdess threw away her <
crook and danced with the fairy. Away 3
they went, whirling and bobbing and 1
turning and dipping. They Jumped t
over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the f
air until you could not tell which was :
the Snow Fairy and which the china i
shepherdess. i
Jerry and Sally clapped their hands ?
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer. They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snowmen.
!
Then the strangest thing happened n
They could not see the Snow Fairy at r
.all... She wasn't there^and if you'll t

standing stiffly in her old spot as
though she'd never had a thought ol
moving in her life.
"Dear me!" said Sally rubbing hei
eyes.
"Dear me!" said Jerry, rubbing histMother

stood smiling down upon them.
"Both you children were sounc,

ANIMALS AT PEACE

Strange Armistice of Ferocious Beasts
Occurs Under Moon Change.
Deep in the evergreen forests of the j
.Northwest the trees are bowing grace-*
fully with loads of freshly fallen
snow, relates a Bcllingham, Wash.,
correspondent. A death-like silence
reigns in the woods. Among all wild j
life there is a rustling of suppressed
excitement because at this season of
the year a queer change of the lunar
system is known as the "call of the
tr.oon'' affecting every animal and j
bird.
At the sign of the "inoon call" hunt;rs
declare the wolf pauses in his {
hunt. The lynx and wolverine, the ]
narten fslier and weasel note the
'call of the moon" and for a time are
ipparently very friendly, often playng
together in the tree tops.
Farther north the white faced carl- |
>ou and the moose have .iust passed,
he rutting season and the bulls are 'j
eaving their harems of cows. Moose, (
avihou, deer and elk at this time of 'I
rear have been observed mingling one ^
nth the other in more or loss nffeCrJ;!
innnte manner. 'Ti
