THE BLACK GHOST.

once there was lovely old castle on
the banks OF the Rhine that people
thought was haunted. An old couple had
lived there once and were very proud OF
their lovely home. They disagreed on
something once. and he Killed her and
put her in a big box In the cellar.
He stayed there while afterwards
but at night he would hear the most
awful noises that sounded like some one
walking right hard all over the house,
and every once in a while he would hear
the most awful shrieks that rang through
his cars all the next day. He at last
moved away and nobody would stay
there. Once this old man said he be-
iieved II was only his imagination. so lie
determined to try II again.
one evening he said he was going to
spend the night at the haunted castle
He took his supper over there and roam
ed all over the house. AT last IL was
dark and he lighted an old cc-d,e he
found in the room. and arc his supper
Then he went TO bed. and somehow he
couldn't go TO sleep. Every now and
then he fancled he heard some strange
noises. but they died away, and he finally
went 10 sleep.

SOME RULES FOR
THE NEW YEAR
Dear Children Of the Club:

Dear Children Of the Club:
Now that the holidays arc over and
every one has settled down to work again,
/ must once more tell you about some
things you seem to have forgotten.
First OF all, want all OF yon who draw
to remember that all pictures MUST be
in black ink on white paper. In order
that they may be reproduced. So many
drawings have come to me this week on
rough pad paper and having the lines
lightly traced In pencil. Now ylcase re-
member when you send IN a drawing In
that condition you rannot expect to sec
II OH our page.
Another thing: Some OF you do not
seom to understand that your contribu-
tions cannot appear until two weeks after
they are sent In Just remember this. and
you will see why many good Christmas
stories reached tho office too late for pub
lcation. We all have to learn sooner or
later to look ahead, and II YIN will re-
member this rule 1t will help you to always
look ahead aud prepare for the future.
Then want to remind you again to take
care of your badges. am afraid some
OF our regular contributors could not come
to the reunion because they had been
careless and had lost their badges. 1t liz
better for you not to wear your badge
every day, but to put 1t in snfe place
and only use 1t on special occasions. II
you do this there viii be no danger Of
losing It, and you will have II ready for
the time when It becomes passport to
a Jolly entertainment.
Our reunion was a great success, and
wish all the r. d. c. G. members from
Virginia and other Staten could have en-
joyed II with US. Yours MS ever.

Who is she? Do you know?
Who always has welcome,
Wherever she may go.
Her face is like the May-tinle.
Her voice Is like birds,
The sweetest of all music
Is in her llghtsome words.
Each spot she makes the brighter,

And she Is sought and cherished,
And loved by every one;
By old folks and by children,
BY lofty and by low:
