BILLIKINS' APPEAL.

My Dear, Pretty Humans, —I’m still in a pickle, and it gets worse and worse every day. And no one can pull me out of it except my Humans. Please will you help me? You remember I told you last week that I didn’t know what was going to happen to my Noble Order of the Goblin Glove, and that I was trying to persuade Wendy to let me keep .at least my little white patch? Well, Wendy has thought things over very carefully, and she says that if the Fairy Queen and the Court Punisher will forgive me and let me keep by N.O.G.G. then she will let me keep the white patch. The trouble comes in here —how on earth am I going to persuade the Fairy Queen and the Court Punisher to be merciful. I simply daren’t go back to Fairyland myself, because I should be popped straight back into the Court Punisher’s house. But Tink, like the good little chum she is, says that if I can collect sufficient wishes from my dear pretty Humans, she will take them herself to Fairyland. Isn’t that kind of her ? So —listen carefully, Humans. Tomorrow, when the clock strikes twelve, will each one of you stop whatever you are doing and wish, and wish, and wish, as hard as you can for the Fairy Queen and the Court Punisher to forgive Billikins. If about ten thousand of you do that, Tink says she will collect all your wishes, and—as quickly as ever she can go —take them and lay them at the feet of the Fairy Queen. Now the Fairy Queen is very kind and very merciful to little Goblin* men. and if she gees that little Human children really love Billikins, she will recommend the Court Punisher to be merciful too. And then

I’ll be able to keep my Noble Order of Goblin Glove, and my little white

patch as well! And I shall be so very happy—and you will do it for me, won’t vou ?

Don’t forget—-to-morrow when the clock strikes twelve you are to wing your wishes to Tinker Bell on behalf of your unfortunate, but still loving, little —Billikins.
