Mary John never walked down
those stairs without a thrill of horror
at thought of what might happen if
instead of walking out near the WALL
where the treads were wide, she
should try to go down near the banis
tiers, where the steps narrowed to less
than the length of her foot.
She had hear her father say that
those stairs would be a death trap
in case of a panic. She had no idea
what a panic was, but she remembered
her fathers words whenever she went
up or down the stairs.
Nine o'clock came and the sixth
grade settled down to work as best
it could with the bell likely to signal
the arrival of the Governor at any
moment.
An hour dragged on, and Mary John
was trying to fix her mind on her
spelling book, when Miss Farlee call
ed her to the desk.

principals office" she said. eff he is
not there, you may leave it on his

Mary John tip-toed out. The prin-
cipals Office was a small room, in
which no classes met. The walls were
lined with mysterious cupboards and
cases, in one of which was a human
skeleton. Mary John stood in awe
of the principal, and visit to his
room was an event as much to be
dreaded as desired. She almost hoped
he would not be there, so that she

Tjarjo.
The sun child smiled. From the folds
of her iridescent robes she pulled out
a cap, and gave it to Tjarjo. Then her
colors faded and she disappeared in
red glow.
Tjarjo put on the cap and instantly
a wonderful change came over him.
His body grew, his chest swelled and
his breath came in big, powerful
sweeps. A sword of white fire was in
his hand and lighted up everything
around him.
Then Tjarjo set out and after a long
search. he encountered the Wizard,

and one eye that glowed hercely.
They fought and fought for two
years, but TjarjO's sword wounded the
Wizard so severely that he fell ex-

Tjarjo killed him.
AS the Wizard died, a brilliant red
and golden glow spread over the hills
and forests, and the Sun rose, while
the Moon sank in shame beyond the
northern mountains. And ever since

is away.

Even Miss Farlee, pinning on her

But if 1 dared to tell you, 1 would

it's kind of annoying to be the Man

THE fact is, the keyhole is way up

Martinique. The climate was very
nice there. But one of the little green
devils which are very plentiful down
there got caught in the keyhole, and
when 1 began to wind he got so mad
that he burst and blew the thing all
to pieces. 1t nearly spoiled the works,
so we moved the keyhole to the North
Pole. It's very annoying, for there's
hardly a day when 1 don't find the
thing all plugged up with snow. You
don't happen to know what's good for
snow in keyholes, do you?" he con-
cluded, eagerly.

take this year. 1 was laid up last Feb

HOW THE SUN
WAS SAVED
BY ALBERT soNNICHsEN.

Long, long ago, at the time when
lighted the world, things were very
different from what they are now.
Then all the flowers were pale
white, the trees were cream yellow
and the people were small. Their
nights were seven times as long as
they are now. Their days only lasted
while the full moon was up, and the
people could not see very well, be-
cause moon shadows are black and 1t
wasn't good to be out in the moon.
light too long.
AT that time there were no kings or
queens or rich men or poor men, be-
cause nearly all spent their time
sleeping. They had to, because the
nights We're so long and the days so
short.
Nobody was unhappy and human
suffering was unknown. But then,
again, nobody was very happy, be-
cause, as l said before, the people
slept so much
Now there was a little boy, whose
name was Tjarjo, and he was differ
ent from the other boys who lived
then. He slept very little, and he
went out into the moonlight a good
deal, even though it made his head
ache And when the moon shone he
wandered through the forests; there
were no cities and towns then, and
when the long nights came he thought
and thought of the things he had
seen while the moon shone.
"Oh, if only the moon would shine
more brightly" he cried sadly so
that I could see everything where the
shadows arei"
AS he said this there came a blind
ing flash of light that made the trees
green and the flowers red and blue
and yellow FOR miles around.
Tjarjo jumped up, and when his

THE VISIT OF
THE GOVERNOR

The sixth grade was humming with
excitement. Miss Farlee had just an
nounced that on the morrow the Gov
ernor was to visit Gordonsville.

street." she had said, land will stop
for a few minutes in front of the
school house. We shall all be as

you will all rise, march through the
dressing-rooms, take your wraps as
you pass, and go out, as you always
do, as quickly as possible in order
not to keep the Governor waiting.
At one tap of the bell remember, and
don't fly all to pieces when you hear
it,"
Little Mary Johns mind was a
blank all the rest of the day. 1t was
impossible to study with such an ex-
citing event in prospect for to-mor-
row.
She climbed the stile in front of the
school house next morning in time to
see the janitor open the big front door
and step into the closet beside it
where the bell rope hung.
She wondered how he would feel
when it came time to ring for the
Governor.
The school house was the most i'm
posing building in Gordonsville. 1t
was built with a basement of stone
and three stories of brick above that
and contained ten class rooms. OF
these only the sixth and seventh
grades were on the top floor. The
rest of that story was taken up by
the principals office, ana the large hall
