HOOPER It was morning and the boy and 1 girl adventurers were already ' wide awake. Tln-y wpiv ull tilool on the top of the hill which looked dawn Into the valley below. "It is strange," said the boy, "but 1 alwuyti have to collect my wit when ! I first wuko up. I forget where I am ! and almost who I aiu." j "I forget, too," said the girl. "That ; Is, I cannot remember right away, ' Which I suppose is the same as having forgotten lor the time beinji." "Well, I know now," wild the boy. j "We're looking for the House of Se- crets, you and I, and while we're look- Ing for It we're having so many, many adventures. When we get to the House of Secrets you and 1 will find ' out how ye can become leaders of i boya and gjrts and later of men and women. We will lind out how we must act if we're to be important and Lave others follow us and admire us." "It's lucky we're meeting so many friend along the way,1' said the girl. "They are all helping to show us how j to get there. Now if we hadn't met the witch we would never have known that we should take the bumpy road instead of tbe Itoud Commonplace. We Simply woujd have stayed around on the Itoad Commonplace, going back wards and forwards and never getting anywhere." "Ami it was the little gnome who told us we must go to the. J louse of : Secrets if we wanted our questions uu ewered," said the boy. "Well, we should lie on our way, I suppose." "What? Without any breakfast?" asked some voices, and looking around they saw- the four little wood elves who had served the supper the night ! before. j "Is there breakfast?" asked the boy, as he put on his coat and fastened Ills collar. ; "Of course there is breakfast," said i the elves together. So they had a delicious breakfast, ; and it, too, had been sent up, all j piping hot from the Ilospltrt.li.ty hotel I "About five years ago gave a testi monial about the good Tan lac did me, J and a I have enjoyed the best liraltlil ever since I want everybody to know what a wonderful blessing the medicine lias been to me nil this time," said "Mrs.1 Kiiiiuri ( coper, of ItiHi lMh Ave., North Nashville, Tenn. "When Tnnlac first came to N.-isli-ville I had Ihmii in a nervous, riri duwn condition for a long time. My health was so poor that I could not get out of the house and had ft) spend most y. of rn v tune in bed. "Well, Tanlae soon relieved my trou bles mol luiiit ine up to where life was worth Ihing again and it has been my standby ever since. I keep Tanlae in the house nil the time, and when 1 feel my self getting a little run down it soon hus me tciling fine. I will always bless the day this grand medicine came m.v way. It rapidly restored my strength and eacr gy after I had the 'tin' two years ago. I honestly believe it is the grandest medi cine ill the world. ' ' CLEVELAND CTJLLINGS. "A Great Mound." whirh was in tin' next valley and In which they were going to stay the corning evening. .After they had finished and had thauked the wood elves for serving them such a breakfast, and had said they would Inter 'Jiank the' people at the Hospitality hotel themselves, tlwy started down the hill. "Ths Is tint, i,roing down hill," said the boy: "Tliore is no effort or trouble to thi!j." "Everything shouldn't be hard nil the tliue." saiil the girl. "Mrs. (Jot-the-Alost-Out-of-Life said so, you know. In fact all our friends sootnerj to have had the Idea that there should he any amount of fun and Jollity. as well as the hard adventures." "If folks don't enjoy themselves and don't cure for Jollity," said the boy, "poor little Prownie Joy will shrink and shrink. And he just hates to be small and forgotten about. He likqs to be 'full-sized." They, were ixjt long in getting to the bottom f the hill and there to their surprise they saw many, many people, of all ages and sizes. They had never seen so many on all their journey. They had not seen them before, so evi dently they, too, had only Just awak ened and gotten up. . "Is this a meeting?" asked the girl. "Maybe it's one." said the boy, "but it is the biggest meeting I ever saw." "Look," saiil the girl, "there Is a great mound and It looks as though it were covered with brambles and burs and sharp, sticking things. I guess, we couldn't have seen this from the top of the hill on account of those maple trees." "Oh,)' said the hoy, "thnt is why all the people are here. They don't know what to do about this." . -" "That's why we're all here," said a little man who hnd heard the ho, speak. "And you see how horrible a place tt Is right In the middle. of the road. . There is no way of getting aronnbi that mound that I can see. There .'Is a marsh all around it and they say tlijt if we go around the niornid and go beyond we'll sink down into the marsh, down and down." lint the boy and the girl, like true adventurers, got around the mound.
