The Lost Children
One day as my brother and I went
out to pick flowers we saw an owl a:i(J
followed it. It grew dr.rker and
and I thought we were lost, but sud
denly we came to a cave. Then I
heard an owl. He said “Who are
you? I was so frightened that I hid
behind Buster. Out came five little
dwarfs, dressed in little red shirts
and yellow breeches. Their names
were “Twee,” ‘Quee,” “Midget,”
“Swee” and “Medwee.” "Come in and
have something to eat,” said they.
They gave us something to eat and
when we had finished they said,
“Come and f>ut this gold in one pile
and the rubies in another.” When we
had finshed they counted the jewels.
We slept on beds of soft moss and in
the morning they gave us each a small
diamond and sent us home.

The Lost Children
One day as Charlie and I were out
picking flowers I saw a big butterfly.
We tried to catch it, but we could
not. Now it happened that two
brownies lived in this woods. As soon
as they saw us they came out and
told us not to be afraid. They asked
us to come in and rest. We went into
the cave and to our surprise we saw
jewels hanging on the walls of the
cave and on the floor. When we had
something to eat they led us to a
small bed of rose leaves. “After you
wake up we will give something to
do.” So saying they went away.
When we awoke they showed us a big
box full of all kinds of precious
stones. They told us to separate
these. When we finished our task
they said they would take us home
again but before we went they gave
Charlie a gold watch and they gave
me a gold wrist watch. We lived
happily and so did the brownies.

[CANNIBALS
FIRED UPON
FORMURDEF
MELBOURNE, March 1 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).—
The Australian naval vessel Fantomt
was sent to the New Hebrides islandt
recently to chastise a trible of canni
bals accused of having committed
murders. The maneaters occupied
the northern side of Malekuia island
and were accused of the murder of a
French cocoanut planter.
As the New Hebrides are owned
jointly by France and Great Britain
the Australian warship was selected
to punish the savages. The Fantome
landed a punitive force of sixty-five
officers and men at Malua bay, where
the party was joined by eighteen
native guards.
Having reached the outskirts of the
village where the murderers were sup
posed to be hiding, the commander of
the expedition sent an interpreter to
parley with the villagers for the sur
render of the men suspected of the
murder.
Groups of armed savages from the
interior were hiding on the hillsides
overlooking the village and two of
their chiefs shouted to the villagers
that if any of them surrendered to the
expedition the village would be fired
upon. Seeing that these island tribes
men were making all the trouble the
punitive party opened fire upon them
with machine guns, and followed this
with a charge by a detachment of
bluejackets, who took the ridge and
drove the savages out. This ended the
affair, the expedition suffering no
casualties.
British and French residents de
clared the cannibals had been taught
j a severe lesson which would insure
the future safety of the white resi
dents of Malekuia.
