Touching a fine-looking fine-looking youngster on the shoulder, she challenged him with, "You can't catch me." Off they started, she twisting twist-ing and dodging with the dexterity of a half-back on a football team, nnd he following her overy movement In close pursuit. The excitement of the chase mado her scream with laughter. The llttlo fugitive finally brough up against a fence, breathless and panting, pant-ing, and her pursuer, throwing his arms about her, shouted: "There, I've caught you!" "Oil, yes," gasped the llttlo fairy, "but It was 'cause my laugh broke and I couldn't run any more." |
