RAIN SECRET
Pitter patter went the rain against the playroom window. The twins flattened their noses against it. "I wish it would stop raining," said Peggie. "We can't go out now," added Pat, gloomily. "And we did so want to. Oh, you nagty horrid rain," cried Peggie, and shook her fists at the sheets of rain which poured down. Pat laughed and turned away. ','Oh, Pat, quick!" cried Peggie, suddenly. Pat jumped back on the window-seat. There, out in the drenching rain, was what, looked like a very bedraggled butterfly or a bit of the rainbow. Then they saw that it was a fairy dressed in a pink frock with blue and silver spangles patterned on it. Her wings hung dawn like a very wet feather. Her hair, which should have been a wavy, curly, fluffy mass of red-gold hair, was hanging down her back in straight,' dripping rat's tails. She was struggling against the driving rain when a gust of wind caught her and blew her out of sight. Peggie and Pat looked at each other with shining eyes. "We'll never tell," said Peggie. "No fear!" replied Pat. , —"PETER PAN." Wadestown. . •.
