How Do Pixies Get Food?

-Some They Grow; Some They Just Find

By MAX TRELL

"How," Knart, the shadow-boy

with the turned-about name, arked Mr Punch, "do Pixies get their font!?"

"Eh, what's that about Pixles?" Mr Punch exclaimed, suddenly look- ing up from the book he was reach ing.

"How do they get their food?" Knart repented, "How do they get anything-to-cat?!

Mr Punch smiled. "Some of it they grow. Some of it they find. And some of it they just take."

Knarf, and his sister, Hand, who was also in the room, both asked Mir Purich to explain all this.

Pixies Have Gardens

"Well," said Me Punch. "Pixles have gardens, just like other people. They usually have their gardens on the right hand side of hills and es-

pecially under the shade of Sperry

corn bushes."

Here Knart and Hanld both in- terrupted loudly,

"What are the right hand sides of hills. Mr Punch?" cried Honid. "Hills are round! They haven't got any right hand sides!"

The Pixles sometimes grow their ewn food.
