It is a curious fact that the Indians had some notion of a race of beings corresponding in many respects to the English fairies. Schoolcraft describes them as small creatures in human shape, inhabiting rocks, crags, and romantic dells, and delighting especially in points of land jutting into lakes and rivers and which were covered with pinetrees. They were called Puckweedjinees, little vanishers.
I want you to look up just what the situation is. I know there is an army of 'vanishers' in New York. I want to know something about them in the mass. Can't you dig up something from your Star connections?" Kennedy had some matters concerning other cases to clear up before he felt free to devote his whole time to this.
There were suicides and murders and elopements, family troubles, poverty, desire for freedom and adventure; innumerable complex causes, even down to kidnapping. The question was, however, which of these causes had been in operation in the case of Betty Blackwell? Where had she gone? Where had this whole army of vanishers disappeared?
"I think you will find something better than 'little vanishers, dear," said mamma, filling up the bowl of bread and milk which Daisy was fast emptying; for she certainly had found an appetite. "There it is again!" cried Daisy, flying out of bed the next morning still earlier than the day before.

There, too, stood the old manse now tenantless so long the temple of his studies and domesticities, the shrine of joys and sorrows known to none save himself.
If thee have read Schoolcraft, thee will remember what he says of the 'Little Vanishers. The legend is very beautiful, and I hope I have done it justice in some sort." In the spring of 1865 he came to Campton, on the Pemigewasset River, in New Hampshire, a delightful place for those who love green hills and the mystery of rivers.
He sometimes amused himself by making creatures very small and active, with which he disported awhile, and finding them of very little use in the world, and not so attractive as the little vanishers, he would take out the life, taking it to himself, and then cast them into the cave made in the body of the unfinished animal.
