heerne, Texas.--Desr Haphammer: A
friend and went walking late one Sunday
evening and we had wandered about four
miles out Of town before we knew IL. But
we noticed that the things became more
and more unfamiliar as we walked on, but
we did not think we had gone SO far until
we came TO little habbling stream and
then we thought OF what our fathers had
said the night before. They said that this
! very stream was haunted by uncanny
voices and dreadful shouts and meanings.
When we thought OF these things we
turned to run, but II seemed as IL our
ieet were tied to the spot, and then We
neard those awful voices shouting, Then
there was one long heart piercing SHREK
and then all was as still as death.
awoke and found that il was only dream.
A true Hap. Ina Moseley.
