"He lives over in the meadow under a big gray stone." "Then he won't have to pay you any rent, will he?" said Naney. "If be just lives under a stone." "Why, of course he will," sald Mister Tingaling. "The stone is just his roof. When it's cold he wiggles down into the ground ever so far to keep warm, Besides it's a nice stone, I guess, so it is! And if he didn't live there, most Hkely someone else would. Besides 1 Oh! But here we are now, children. Right at Scooty's front door." "His front door!" criéd Nick. "Why it isn't big enough for a fiy to crawl into. The big stone Is lying flat on the ground." Mister Tingaling scratched his head. : "That's so!" he nodded. "It does look pretty flat! And as I'm pretty round for a fairy, I don't believe I could get in. I'll just rap and have Scooty come out here." So he went tap, tap, tap! with his knuckles on the big stone and before a frog could catch a fly, there was Scooty Lizard looking at them with his tiny black beady eyes. "Hellow here, old fellow!" sald Mister Tingaling in surprise. "You don't make any more ndise when you walk than a bunny that comes out of a silk hat in a trick show. You must wear rubber shoes!" Scooty smiled and blinked his black beady eyes. 'I guess I'm get- ting pretty good," he said. "That's what Ma always tried to teach me. She said to be quick and quiet.

Nancy opened the big pocketbook "Yes, we came for your rent," she sald. "Put it ib here and I'll give you a receipt for it." But suddenly Nick cried out, "Why, he's gone! You're just talk- ing to the air, Nancy." "So he has! Where do you s'pose he went to?" said Mister Tingaling in a worried voice. But they did not have to guess very long, for they heard Scooter say, "Aha! I'm getting pretty good, [ think! How was that for 'guick and quiet?' You never saw me go even." "Where are you?" sald Mister Tingaling sharply. "Come here this minute, Mister Lizard, and pay me your rent. It's ten cents in fairy money." "Catch me if you can," called Scooty.

Judith's thoughts turned over and over each other on the way home. She lifted her hot face to the rain, but somehow this time there was no coolness in its touch. She looked ahead and saw Caleb not concerned with what she was doing. "BM we'd had another day at it we would 'a' finished," Caleb said at the supper table. The rain had turned to a steady dnizzle, which promised to last several days. "Al- ways somethin'--always somethin'." It depended upon his mood whether Caleb pronounced bis g's" or not. Martin who was lying on the couch, twitched uncomfortably. He knew what Caled was hinting at. The day that had beem wasted was the day on which he had gone to the doctor. Since thet day Caleb had scarcely spoken to him. "Jude will help with the milking, mother," Caleb said huskily just be- fore they rose from the table. The red crept into Judith's cheeks. This instruction was a reminder to them all that she was still a prisoner. Bllen glanced at Judith. Judith saw her eyes, in which there was something like action.

She threw the door open without knocking, and stood in the doorway laughing at her own fright Sven was uneasy. He wanted to get Lind out at ones where he could talk to her. He saddled two horses and®they rode down the trail to- gether toward Klovacss'. "She's been Jet out to work now, on the field," Lind told him.
