Dear Editor:-I have written to the
Junior once before but | thought
would write again. thank you very
much for the postal card which re-
ceived l thought Iwould choose for
my subject, "The Eagle"
Once upon time there was boy
who lived on mountain with his
father and mother There was an
eagle who had her nest near the boys
home. The boy often lay on the grass
for hours, watching Ler gather food
for her young ones. One day his moth
er and father went to the foot of the
mountains on business. The boy lay
on tie grass and watched the eagle
as she brought food to her young ones,
when she suddenly made dart toward
the boy. There was man near by
and he saw the eagle make dart and
wondered what she was doing. He
came near the place and got there just
in time to see the eagle dash at the
boy. He raised his gun and fired. The
eagle fell dead at the first shot and
80 the man hurried to see if the boy
was dead. The boy had tainted and
the man carried him to his home and
put him In the bed. When the boys
father and mother came home they
did not know how to thank the man.
They gave him home and he stayed
with them all sumner. The man was
naturalist and he learned the boy
how to do many interesting things.
The boys father stuffed the eagle
with cotton and hung it across the
mantel in his home. Young people
offered the boys father many dollars
for the eagle but he would not sell
1t.
Hoping the Juniors success, 1 close,
your friend,
Olive Reese.
