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 able presents.- London Globe. ' Auditorium Monday night, _ Dec. 31st.
