Again and again I tried to become absorbed in my book, but my eyes invariably wandered to the pansy bed, while my thoughts reverted to days of long ago, and my dear old classmates at W. M. C. So absorbed was I in my revery that I unconsciously cried out, "Oh, that. I might once more behold my dear classmates!" Was it the sound of my own voice that made me start? No, for standing directly in front of me was a tiny sprite, scarcely as tall as the highest pansy. "What dcet thou wish?" he asked in a shrill, piping voice, and I answered mechanically, "To sec my 1910 class- mates of w. M. C," "Alas, that is impossible," he cried, "for they are scattered all over the world," "Then to know what each of them is doing," I persisted. "That wish may be granted,' was the answcr.
