THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1921. PAGE SSV37I Daddys Eveiiifl Fairy Tale 5y,JANN GRAHAM' BONNER . TRAYG WHICH GflEW. Yon know how it Is If you share anything villi n friend It soems to grow' hl-in-i-? That Is the. 'way it Is at the Hospitality hotel. Tlt- boy mill tin- rirl adventurers lookod in imtimisliiiii'iit at the Crown ies With tile trays. The trays were be ing brought In for the banquet, and theyt were (crowing uirper, and the browides Roomed to be crowing bif,' trer. j Kven the food on the plates and 0ti the tniys whs prowlng, too. It was ull most mysterious. "Grow, grow, trrmv," tlie brownies all panjr in a sinK-snnn fashion. "Grow, grow, grow, so, so, so, for we're to have a lcuuniet." In another moment a treat pong sounded through tlie hotel mid there was heard a creut scurrying. It .was then that the boy and the plrl looked about tliein in the hotel. Tlie staircases wen? jrnat liich, wind In mes, and the Honrs were of beau tifully irollshed woodwork, though they could ici- some scratches on the Honrs which looked as though there had been a ilaJice or a ball (iien there recently. Pictures hunjr on tlie walls in enor mous' pilt frames, and in the hallway where they stood was the bisest coat Mid hut rack they laid ever seen with no many coats and hats hanirint? there they felt they could never count them all. Tlio-great scurry hud kept up. Now the trays had rn.t citiwn for a few moment. I'.ut they were enormous now,, and the brownies wore very much larger and the food looked lis if it had been prepared for tunny, many people. Now tlie hurrying mid the pcurryliiK pounded nearer, and from all parts J "Off With the Roof." i of tlie great hotel the little creatures came 'hurrying. r "Welcome, welcome." tbey shouted. The: boy and the girl almost felt etn barnpised that so ninny creatures were comiug to welcome them. Tlie boy felt perhaps he should make some.fort of 11 polite link- spcem. He tlioiigbt a moment and then he said: "1 do hope we haven't taken any of you fvvuy from other engagements." "Xo, not u bit ' it." they all began to say. "Not a bit of it. vYe always have, had time to welcome guests. That's what we love :ibi everything. That's why we live in the llor.pif nlity hotel." "I this the only hotel of its kind?" nsked. the girl of a brownie who was stiiinljng right by her. "Not exactly the only one. though there Is no other just like it." said the brownie. "Hut I'll show you about before bedtime. Now we'll watch the baniniet leii;g m !o ready." A'iain the great gong sounded, and once inure the trays began to grow and grow until all the trays grew to gether and appeared like a long, long tnbl (with nil sorts of food upon It. No longer were there any trays, every, one was now a part of the great tables and as the table became a ban quet table all tlie hosts and hostesses, and the boy and girl and Master Thoujrhl fulness moved to one side. They could do this very easily, for the great hallway seemed to grow wider ntid wider all the time, Too! "Where have the brownies gone who held the trays?" asked the boy. He hud no sooner said this than the girl added: "Why, they've disappeared. They were growing larger and larger, and then they went away entirely, but how strange we didn't see them go." , "Not strange at nil." said a voice fromtundor the long; table. And there arose.' rather slowly, the largest crea ture Ihey had ever seen. He was fully as long as the table, and when he RtoodVup he had to call out to a night watchman : "Off with the roof, oft with thf, .ronf.,J'm standing up!" "Yes. Night Watchman," he called, "off with the roof." "Who ore you?" asked the girl. "And how do you do those things?" asked the boy. "Iftcaue I'm Sir ITenrty Cordial ity," Jie answered. Well, Wasn't He Right? A teacher was questioning a class of boys on the subject of birds. Having received correct answers to the ques tions nbout featherfi, bill, feet nnd wings, he put the question: "What Is It a bird can do that I am, unable to dp?" "Fly," was the answer he hoped tn get. For several moments the boys thought, but gnve no answer. At last ne fceH up his hand. "Well, my lad. what la, Itr. : "Lay an egg," said the boy.
