Edwin went to bed as usual that night,

he rose and by the light of the moon If

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

For some reason he did not say any

anything about It.
Now It happened that this man was a

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,

"Have you hired It?"
"Why, no l thought It wouldn't lw

"A quart* of the money? 1 'asked Ed

"No. a quarter of a dollar." wild the
man. "or ele I'll se'.l you the trees for

"They'ie not your trees. Won't you

He wa* seated In a wagon, and he hod a

"Come, boy. stop that at once," roared
be.
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

to cut a tree, hut when he brought It
down the ax reboumled os If the tree had

The magician did no! have tear* In n s

cry when he was a baby. But bo (lid
say:
"Here, boy, finish up your trees us fast

Edwin could scarcely believe his ears,

The magi'hin now picked tip s pine

and punted It In the ground. In an in

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

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

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.
