THE BROWNIE BROTHERS ILLIE BROW NIE and his brother Bennie were all ready for adven- tures. A boy and a girl who had wan- dered into Dreamland that evening had come to pay them a visit. And of course Billle and his brother were particularly anxious to entertain thelr guests as best they could. And they were as ready for adven- tures as were their guests, They had been busy of late and had not had so much time for play and they were quite ready to begin playing at once, Now the boy and the girl had never had many adventures. They had lived rather lonely lives, though it is true they had made a number of anhnal friends. “Well,” sald Billie Brownle are a fat pair, Jolly." “How nlce of you to say so,’ Brownie brothers replied, as he brother you do look so the hoy, and his but oh, * the two and as they “i /rens So Jolly.” did so they hugged each other and fell over on the ground. “Not hurt, I trust,” said the girl, “Not a bit of It,” sald the brothers together, as they themselves up » ' sald “I do belleve you're Brownies,” the boy. “You “My yrewnle, are right,” sald Billie he added, “is this is my brother.” iis name,” and He pointed with his left hand to Bennie for his right arm was around Bennle and his right hand was strok- ing Bennie's shoulder, “I'm very happy, too,” said the boy. “And I am also,” said the girl “So am 1,” sald Billie, “which makes four of us happy.” “And now for our adventures! friend, Knight of the Mist, Is on way now, Ah, here he comes!” And then the girl and the boy met Knight of the Mist. He was the great, great, great, great, great grandson, Bil. He Brownle explained, of the greatest old Knight of olden days, who always Wore armor. This Knight wore mist as his armor for he was the brave knight of the alr, “1 am ready,” sald Knight of the Mist. “I hope you ape!" Oh, yes, they were followed Knight of the Mist, He them into his very enormous it was simply huge and looked on a train.

IRVING KING WHEN I WAS TWENTY-ONE a A ingil AMBER F THE many mystie pertain to amber its potency as a charmi against rheumatism appears to be about the only one which survives in popular superstition. But a belief in this quality persists with remark- able vitality and is defended by per- sons whom one would least suspect of such credulity. Henry Ward Beecher ‘niways carried about with him a string of amber beads to cure or to ward off his rheumatic attacks; and amber set as jewelry is still sold In London for the cure of this malady Only a few years ago amber had a much more prominent place in thera- peutics. In 1865 Rev, C. W, King, In his “Natural History of Precious Stones” wrote: “That the wearing of an amber necklace will keep off an attack of erysipelas has been proved by experiments beyond the possibility a doubt.” Oil of amber still has a place In the United States dispensa- tory and perhaps there still exist some old-time doctors who use it medicinally. The ancients, who attached mystic aunlities to all sorts of precious and semi-precious stones, were not likely to neglect amber; that strange sub- stance born of the sea and of the color of yellow sunlight, The Romans used to place In their mortuary urns pieces of amber and jet, the Jet symbolizing the darkness of death and the amber the light of immortality, Possibly the black stone was an offering to Pluto and the yellow substance an offering to the sun-god. In the medicine of the Middle ages, which was largely folk-medicine, amber played an Im- portant part, and, as has been sald, has continued to play a medicinal role down to our own times. The rever- ance with which the ancients regarded amber was increased by the discovery of its electrical properties. Doctor Kunz says: “The lectriec property of amber was remarked as early as 600 B. C. by the lonie philosopher, Thales, and from this observation may be dated the study of electric phenomena.” {® bv McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) aan aii U. 5.
