I can imagine what wilt happen lly morning the trees will be pushing up like asparagus. By noon they *lll tie little trees and by afternoon they'll be big enough to cut, or why would the fairies have told me to get an ax?“ Edwin went to bed as usual that night, hut hi had the faculty of waking when he wanted to, and at a quarter to twelve he rose and by the light of the moon If took from his bureau drawer the packet of needles Then he drew on his ruble r boots, his trousers, his coat and his hat ar.d he was dressed and ready for his ad venture. It was the ?-'l of December and the air was frosty, but there was no snow on the ground and he was able to Plant the needles without much trouble T e fa.rles had not told him. but his own KOtd sense suggested his allowing six feel between the needles to allow for the growth of the trees. It did not take him long to plant the n. 11, S. but his hands were bitter cold t- fore the last one was covered up an.i t.e was gtsd to return to the house and cuddle under 'he blankets.

For some reason he did not say any t:.:ng to his |*arent* about the matter, i ut .fter bn akfast he t. ok another look h! the tree and started for school. As he * is leaving the house he saw a man. tic owner of the vacant lot, looking over 'lf picket frnee at the trees, which were i -w two fert high, hut he did not think anything about It. Now It happened that this man was a t:i <g'c ati and he understood Immediately that the trees wero fairy products. He n1... made up his mind that he would lalm the trees and sell them himself. * 1h- y were on Ms ground. 'Those your trees’" he said to Edwin. "Yes. sir," said Edwin, proudly. "doing to sell them?” sad the man. "Yes. sir. Do you want to buy any?” Is It your land?" sabl the man In a hard voice, v - .ip •• "Have you hired It?" "Why, no l thought It wouldn't lw any hs-m to plan! trees there," said Eel win ready to cry. No harm at all," stld the man "Only 'his Is my land and so those are my trees I'll m-!I them to you If you want, or you m.n sell them snd give me the money, and I'll let you have a quarter " "A quart* of the money? 1 'asked Ed a shrewdly. "No. a quarter of a dollar." wild the man.

Edwin did not know that he whs a magician, hut he did know- that he wai afraid of the ax. and he dropi*l his own little ax and stosl still for a minute, wishing that his father or mother or even Jane were at home. Ths- man Jumissl out of the wagon and VHU'ted ove r the fence, lie tal.-ed his ax to cut a tree, hut when he brought It down the ax reboumled os If the tree had tain made of rubber. He knew letter than to strike again, for If he had the ax nun and have turn-d o( him and cut him He turned to Kdwtn and said; "Give me the money that you have received for the trees that you’ve cut." Edwin tot sold two. oral he hull del a dollar to the maclcdan. but as Ih* coins tou> tied tae latter * band they l—came red hot and he drooled them with a cry of pain.

But bo (lid say: "Here, boy, finish up your trees us fast us you can. because I Intend to plant a whopping tree here In a mlnuic." Edwin could scarcely believe his ears, the mngh t in's voice was so pleasant, but lie fell to With the ax and In a few tum uli < he had cut nil the trees, and ten more poor boys had liecn made happy -rd the rest of the trees had been sol.. The magi'hin now picked tip s pine needle that had fallen from the last tree and punted It In the ground.

I- The newest ami moat poputur locomotive, strange to mv, is not one that goes by steam or. e|ec trlelty. but one tiwit I* prop* lied by clock work. Thi style hns bs*n much held In contempt by many boys as fit only for Ito hie*, who m gin hurl themselves with the other kind. But this new one Is railed an express locomotive. You make tl go fast or slow, and a reversing lever will make It travel lan kwards, a feature which will appeal to oil boy*. Moreover, It Is fitted with breaks, which work au tomat -illy ll will traverse a hundred and fifty fee; of track without rewinding. As lo prices, they range from I?**’ n about fin on, according lo *p*-ed mid - *<’. if o loeotnolHra fill* to your lot It k worth while knowing that tenders cost from twenty cents to forty-five. Then you can Imy separately passenger, freight, cat tle. lumber, sleeping and dump cars, also snowplows and wrecking cars. For these you ran pay anywhere from twenty cenas to about four dollars, according to elxe and elaborateness of detail. You sec the advantage of equipping your small toad ihlr way, you oan get Just the sort of ears, etc , that you prefer And If you can't afford to get everything at once, well, resillv. It'# more fun to add this ear or that freight station whenever a dollar or fifty rent# comes your way. There are throe alg.-s of those locomo tives, and. of course throe corresponding sir* -of (rack. This track you can buy ... f ' |t -■ . - * ' 1 coni* a rc-tinn Anv h*.v ho • *• not afford to buy much track I should advlec him to purchase one section and copy it. To do this go to a tinsmith and gel him to cut up a sheet of fairly heavy tin Into half-inch strips. Then make some small wooden sleepers with cross-wise niche*. Into which you can wedge the tin strip* for track. You will hove to be a very careful workman however, or you will find great difficulty In making the track sufficiently true not to let the ( wheel* run off a* aomc point. There is one detail of your roadbed equipment which you will find In the end cheaper l buy than to , (instruct your self; that k* the switch. Hlngle. right and left swltrhe# can be had for ILK*, while double switches where four tracks run together cost a little n*,re tins, saoln Flaos May spend Money. Another almost necessary detail to be bought is lhe section of track with die -k to atop the train This cowls 1. otils. By turning Uttle lever a smsil arm snoots Up In the middle of the track and operates the brake on the 10-omattve. By putting this section of track directly tl, front of your station the train will slop of Sts own a. cord at the proper point If you * nn afford five or ten dollars for the purpose, you can get a complete el* c • 11 . switching outfit which operates from a central station. This Includes a serl.w of miniature telegraph poles which car ry the tvlre along the track as In real railway. About the same amount will purchase a signal outfit which work* very much like the block system on cur up-to-date roads.
