Jessie. Last night after we went to
bed she said she wanted to write a let
ter to Irene Kellar."
Hearing this, Carl hurried up to the
rest room and there she was, writing
very busily.
Come" said Carl. 1--WE must hurry
or we will miss our steamer. Mary
quickly put on her hat and coat and
they were soon off.
When they got to the pier their aunt
was there with three bouquets-violets
for Mary, pansies for Jessie and roses
for Mrs. Hopkins.
Soon the gong rang for all the peo-
pie that were not going to get off. Peo-

They went into one room and there
was the game of shuttle deck" They

and could not enjoy the voyage, but the
seventh day they were we'll and were
able to again enjoy the refreshments
brought by the steward.
The seventh day land was sighted

Mrs Hopkins telephoned to the
police station, while Mr.. Hopkins rode
away in the carriage in search of the
lost child Finally Jessie thought she
might be out in the yard playing with
the kitten. but Mary was not there
The search lasted for an hour, but
still no Mary.
Then all at once they heard Mary's
voice call kitty" 1t seemed to come
from the side of the house. So they
rushed around but Mary was not
there They listened again and this
time it sounded as If she was in the
cellar. They ran down there and there
they found her playing with the kitten.
They sent word to the police station
and Mr.. Hopkins that the lost girl was

sounded for the ship to start. The
first day the sea was calm but the
second day storm came up and the
boat rocked back and forth so fast
that it made Mrs. Hopkins sick. But

They played games and had lots OF

he caught the dog just in time to save
him.

The next morning they both went on

be still and not run around the first
few days, but it was so tempting to see
all the others play that they went
with them.
Pretty soon Jessie came back with
a long face and sat down very still be-
side her mother, and Mary soon fol-
lowed suit.
In a few days it was all over and
the girls had a fine time playing deck
uuoits and other things. One afternoon
lit was the sixth day. Mary and Jessie
were reading in the ships library, for
there was a cold wind blowing, when
