A TRIBE OF ELVES WITH THE SOULS
OF ANCIENT CELTS.
They Are Trick.y Hnlrlta, Well Skilled
la olamour ami HluNlan—The (.wad
nail llml That Are Chanted to Thru
1'raakl.li Little People.
1’lskles, pixies or plgslcs are a tribe
of elves peculiar to old Cornwall, a
territory puce extending to tlio eastern
edge of Dartmoor, which Is still in
cluded in the duchy. They ure not ele
mentary spirits, lint In inaterlal life
wore those of the Celtic tribes who re
fused to give up their nuclont religion
for Christianity, hut otherwise lived
blameless, hence tlielr sympathy with
humanity. Not. good enough for heaven
nor bad enough for hell, tlielr wander
ing houIs were permitted to remain on
earth, haunting tlielr own familiar
moorlands, wooded coombes and waste
sea benches.
In early May and during the reign of
the harvest, moon they are active in
revel, but tlielr chief festival of the
year Is held on midsummer eve. With
the pnssing of many centuries they
have greatly shrunken in size and are
now inilistlngulHhahlo by daylight from
aunts, moths or butterflies, except by
those Intimately nctpinlntcd with tlielr
appearance. A troop of these sprites
was beheld of late years by one who
Imd the gift of such sight on a sunny
hillside one brilliant summer after
noon. They were dancing amid the
heather hells, climbing tall foxgloves,
tumbling queer somersaults, cutting
lanlastic cupel's and. as the Cornish
saying funs, "laughing like a pinky."
Tliis shows them to he a merry race.
Apparently llicy are gradually becom
ing converted to Christianity, for ou
< liristnias eve they assemble hi the
deepest mines to celebrate the holy sea
son, when solemn, entrancing music
may be heard and choirs of unearthly
voices chanting, "Nowell, Nowell.”
They are tricksy elves, skilled In gla
mour and Illusion. A favorite deceit
of fheirs Is enticing the lonely night
traveler into bogs by appearing like the
hglit in a cottage window, or a man
walking with a lantern across ground
where no human foot can tread In
safety. They steal pretty babies from
iheir cradles, leaving ugly changelings
in their places.
If spoken of disrespectfully, or even
mentioned by name, they take violent
offense. Hence they are called "the
others,” "the small people In green"
or "the good folks.” At Gcnnol Is a
green lane well known as a resort of
fairies. Once on midsummer eve two
tinners who worked at Croft Ootlial, a
mine hard by, were returning late
down this bat lane uforesahl and
found It full from end to end of the lit
tle people holding high festival.
Among the crowd one of the men
recognized his own child, for one
eveniugthe hoy had been as beautiful as
uould he seen and next morning was
ugly, weazened and altered. There
fore "the others" must have changed
him. When relating Ibis tale next day
at Croft Ootlial lie was suddenly
thrown into a deep pit tiud almost
killed. When carried home Ills wife,
furious lit the cause of tlielr misfor
tunes, exclaimed that tlm pixies were
“tuxln’, tricksy devils." Instantly
sho fell hnckwnrd Into tlm lire and
wus burned severely, a convincing
proof that these elves must not be
trifled with.
At Treonlko, a small hum lot. In St.
Austell parish, u boy was once be
guiled uwny from Ids home, lost for
tunny duys, and llnnlly, after all hope
of Hading him bad been given up, lie
was one morning discovered fust
asleep on n tuft of bracken, bard by
bis father’s rot (ago door. Ills own
story ran tlmt lie bad been playing
near that spot on the day of Ills disap
pearance, when lie board most exqui
site music In the air.
At first he mistook this for bird
songs, but soon realized that the little
people must be the unseen musicians.
Following the sounds, lie easily pene
trated u thicket whose depths be bad
never before succeeded In entering, for
some Invisible guide smoothed the un
dergrowth In Ids path, while causing
(horns and briers to spring up, closer
and more matted than formerly, be
hind him and on either hand. Also the
music became more and more ravish
ing.
At last lie found himself upon the
shore of a small lake, which, to Ills sur
prise. reflected the sky thick wllli slurs,
though It Imd Ik:on full noontide on (lie
common Imt u short time curlier. Then
a lovely lady came through the dark
ness, took him by the hurid and led
him about underground palaces with
crystal arches, glowing with changing
tints, far finer than any caverns in the
deepest mine.
There ho saw many marvelous sights,
feasted on dainties lie had never tasted
In Ills life before, gamboled or con
versed with troops of merry play-
males, all beautifully dressed in green.
At last be fell asleep from sheer weari
ness. and awoke in Hie spot where be
bad llrst heard the plsky minstrels.
The Gump, a knoll near St. Just, Is a
noted spot for plsky revels. Many
worthy folks have been privileged to
witness their feasts. In a spirit of
friendliness, and often were given valu
