SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 192 SAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1923. STORIES BY CASPER PUPI The Dream Fairy. yor. remember what Fairy did to Young Mim to dream when the bear wag trying to sicep, don't you? Well in just the came manner did ths Dream Fairy cause Billie Bobbet to ream about the Young Bear You see, the reason for that was that Billie heard the hunters talking about the bear they haa nearly caught. Billie was a small. boy who wished very much that he would soon grow large enough to go hunting for him- self; and in the meantime he con: tented himself with listening to the storles the Dream Falry told him while he slept. On this night he dreamed the Young Bear was chasing him round and round: the old holiow oak. Bil. Me would dodge into the old oak and the bear wofild come right after him, not far enough to hurt him but close enough to frighten Bi baa- ly. Billie wout ain, barely missing Young Bear's paws. Then they would go round and round the old oak tree again. Once, however, Billie thought quickly enough to run away fron the tree and down the hill toward the lake. Young Bear hadn't seen the Dream Bear to cause > rather out Billie run to the lake and kept go- ing round the tree like a top spin- ning. You have seen a top whirl, haven't you? Then you know the way the Young Bear went before he discovered Billle Bobbet was there. Billy was running as fast sas his legs would carry him. He was not ble to stop when he reached the lake, and suddenly, Splash! Gubble! Gubble! and Billie was soaked from head to foot. He had ran squarely into the lake. Young Bear had heard this nofse and turned to see Billie, looking very sorry for himself, and almost crying. Young Bear was really having a great deal of fun with Bil Ne, frightening the wits half out of him Yet he also liked Billie and would not hurt him for anything. Bo he merely laughed and laughed as {f soaking Billie was tho funniest thing he had ever seen, and I do think {t must have been. But then Billie heard someone say, “aren't you ever going to get up this morning. You will be late for echool.” And Billie saw his mother with a cup of water which sho had sprinkled on him when he was dreaming.

They had a little sister two years old, who was named Prim Rose. One day some cruel robbers had taken a wee baby from {ts mother, who did not want the infant because it was a boy. The mother was not cruel with the child even when she was angry. The baby stayed only ® few weeks with the mother. ‘When it was taken with its tor- mentor, it was put in a basket. The robbers only kept it a day and at uoon they put it in the basket while leep and put ft-in a river, This ver three miles to the north plunged Cown to a foaming cataract. Cactus Thorn, who was the boy: was watch- ing the ten goate wher far south of him he saw a tiny speck growing larger. At last he saw it was a basket and was curious to sce what it might be. He heard a sigh and then a pitl- ful cry. Then the cover moved and he saw a chubby little face with dark eyes. He followed it down the river. When Cactus Thorn saw where the baby was going his heart ached with pity. He pictured the frail basket torn to pieces. He saw the innocent chi'd sink; he thought no more of that: he saw the rivers rushing on, bearing with !t the child, Then Cac tus Thorn plunged'in, waiting to soe/ no more; nor did he heed his clothes. Ah! could he save the child? Yes, ‘street toward the fire. Casver Sundav Morning Criburie LS---THE TRIBUNE'S HONOR PAG A Fire in the Night. LANG! Clang! Clang!
