THE BOBADIL JINN MAKES A VISIT.
’T’Hhe Bobadil Jinn had ten palaces,
* one of the highest mountain of
the earth, one at the bottom of the
deepest sea, one at the coldest north
and one at the hottest south, or I ,f
should say the hottest middle, for aft
er you get past that on your way to
the South Pole, it begins to get cold
again.
Besides the Bobadil Jinn had a pal-

ace in the dryest country of the i
earth where it hadn’t rained since
Noah’s flood; and one in the wet
test country where it rained all the
time. And he had other palaces as
well, scattered round at varous
places.
The morning after this picked
wizard had robbed the twins of all
their magic (the Green Shoes, the
Golden Key, the Map and the
Language Charm.) He awoke in his
mo t northern palace among the ice
fields where he had gone after his i
adventures.
! The first thing he did after yawn
ing and stretching was to feel un
i her his pillow for the carved box
in which he had carried the treas
ures, Next he slipped out of bed
hurriedly, threw a robe over his
nighty and thrust the box into a pock-

I Ci B. Lee'', aged’ 19, elevator opera-
tor in the Transportation Jbuilding
in Atlanta, was killed Wednesday

car was in motion.
j Corporal J. W. Colier, stationed at
Camp Benning, was awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross Wednes-
“I must know where those twins
are,” he declared, “so I’ll not wait
to dress properly. They must be
prevented from getting to the South
Pole at all costs. They must return
to their home where they will be out
of the way.”
Without more talking the wizard
turned his ring and in an instant
was invisible. He turned it again
and in another instant he was stand
ing inside Ishtu’s hut whence the
kind Eskimo man had taken the
twins when he found them out in the
coldcold. Nancy and Nick were
sleping peacefully.
The wicked Bobadil Jinn was furi
ous at seeing them so comfortable.
The wicked Bobadil Jinn was furi
ous when he found Nancy and Nick
sleeping peacefully in the hut of
Ishtu.
“If people would only stop inter
fering!” he cried, only no one heard
him. “I should be able to stop
these twins and prevent them from
getting to the South Pole. I have
their charms, however, and that is
a good beginning.” He patted the
. carved box that he had slipped into
; the side pocket of his robe. “I don’t

well without them.”

The mid-term meeting of the direc
tors of Georgia Normal and Indus
trial college was held in Atlanta
Thursday morning.
Governor Dorsey Wednesday is
sued a proclamation requesting the
farmers, bankers and business men
of Georgia to hold mass meetings
February 10 to discuss reduction of
Cotton acreage.
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
At that minute Nancy awoke. She
thought instantly of her dream about
the Fairy Queen and the advice she >
lad given her. Then Nick sat up
n Ishtu’s bed trying to think just
where he "was and what had hap- ’
pened. The Bobadil Jinn of course !
was invisible, but he was standing;
close by and watching and trying to.
think what to dq next.
Suddenly Nancy smelled hyacinth
perfume (the Bobadil Jinn always
used it) and she whispered some-!
thing to Nick. Quickly she waved
her left arm three times from right
to left and uttered the magic |
words that the Fairy Queen had told
her in her dream.
Instantly the wishing ring rolled
from the Bobadil Jinn’s finger to
the floor and there he stood in plain !
view of everybody. He was unpre
pared for such a proceeding and
terribly niortified at being out in
his nighties with only a robe over
them.
The wicked thing was a dude in his
way and never dreamed when he had
put his wishing ring on that any one
would see him. He was in a dread
ful way at the occurrence, and
stooped to search for his ring at
once, growling like a mother lion
whose cubs have been stolen.
The twins.saw their chance. Quick
as scat they grabbed the box out of
Jinn’s side pocket, slipped on their
Magic Green Shoes and wished them
selves a hundred miles away.
