"But how am I to avoid this fate?" cried JOHN SMITH, in a tone of genuine alarm.
"By voting for the Moderates, and doing your best to keep out the Progressives. And, mind, don't forget my warning."
And then the Fairy disappeared. A few moments later, and poor JOHN SMITH found himself sprawling upon the floor.
"Why, I do believe I have been asleep!" he exclaimed.
And then he woke up in good earnest, and hurried off to the polling stations, and voted for the Moderate candidates.
At least it is to be hoped he will!
