Jessie and Mary went on across the
hill and over the brook chatting and
talking together till they came across
the hill to where the rainbow was sup
posed to end. But it did not end there.
1t seemed to end just across the other
hill. There was a long silence between
them till Mary said:
eff we find it I am going to have a
new doll head for your doll. You broke
its head last week. you know"
''Why can't 1 have a new doll, too?"
asked Jessie.
"Wait till we find the gold" said
Mary, and if you are good and do not
slap me 1 might get you new doll,
for the money is mine. you know"
1t was growing darker every minute
and the rainbow was fading away. .
Jessie. 1--WE can hunt for the gold
when the rainbow comes again." said
Jessie.
But Mary said that someone else
might be hunting for it and find it.
"But we must go home, anyway"
said Jessie, so they turned around and
started home. They walked and walked
as fast as they could. Pretty soon
they saw their cottage. 1t was all lit
ready. They were both cold, and they
told everybody about their search fer
the gold But they finally said that
they would not search for the gold

They also said they would get their
teacher a present. When they got to
the top of the hill Mary said: "Oh,
Jessie, our pot of gold is in that little
creek"
They ran toward the creek, expect
ing to have their gold in minute. A
cedar forest on one side and into this
the girls ran. AS they ran they step
ped in some mud. In getting out of
the rainbow. When they looked again
1t was nowhere to be seen. 1t had
faded away The sun was now setting
and the girls began to be afraid.
Then Mary said to JESSIE 81 knew
that there was not a pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow" Just then far

what are you girls doing here?"
Mary answered: 1--WE are lost"

driving home, said: Jump in"

them next day. Their mother said:

dresses. Then 1 think the gold would
end"
L think that is a good PLAN" said
jessie"
Just then they came to the top of
the hill. The rainbow did not seem
to be there. 1t seemed to, be on the
other side of the tree which was at
the bottom of the hill. Just as they
reached the tree the sun went down,
and, of course, the rainbow went out.
Disappointed they went over to a
house which was right near them. They
asked the man if he would take them
home, and he did. 1t was just getting
dark when they reached home.

Jessie said, 81 broke my dolls head

one.2
But" said Mary, "what if we never
find the pot of money!"
Both girls hurried on until they came
to a little brook, but lucky for them
there was a bridge, for the stream was
very wide. When they got across they
were very tired and wanted to rest.
When they sat down to rest at the
bottom of the hill they found it grow
ing dark. The girls thought they must
find the pot of money They went up
on the hill and looked up and found no
rainbow. Then they had to go home,
anyway.
They started toward home, and when
they got a little past the brook they
saw it was almost dark. The two
girls ran till they were almost out of
breath for it was hard running up the
hill. When they got home they found
the people looking for them.
Their father sent them to bed with
out any supper, and they never went
in search of anything at the end of
the rainbow again.

pick any daisies, because they were
too anxious to find the gold. ow~glad
they were when they were standing at
the bottom of the hill.
"But when we get the gold. how will
we carry it homer" said Mary. "Oh,
Mary! don't say such thing. We may
never find the pot of gold" said her
sister.
The hill was steep. and 1t was not an
easy matter to climb it. When they
reached the top of the hill Jessie saw
q rock about the color of gold. MARY,
look here! I've found the pot of gold"
she said. Neither of the girls looked
up to see where the rainbow ended
They though surely they had found
it. 1t was about half a foot high and
half a foot wide. They rolled the rock
down the HILL across the field, and
across the grape patch.
When they had walked a mile or
more down the road they came to a
small dry goods store. Mary opened

said Jessie. "You know solid gold goes

said Mary, then up to the hill, and

Mary danced up and down at the
thought of what she expected to find
at the top of the hill.
II think we had better hurry" Jessie
Advised. "You see. the sun is almost
down and it will be dark before we
get home, I'm afraid. Let's see who
gets to the brook first.
well, I'll try. to rum" said Mary
"but I'm awfully tired. I almost wish
1 hadn't come
They soon reached the brook, but
then they wondered how they could
get across without wading. The bridge
was quite a ways down the brook, but
they decided to go down to the bridge
and cross on it.
But it would take a long time,
and the rainbow may be gone before
we get there"
for just as they were about to get to
the ton of the hill the rainbow dis
appeared. Jessie was first to discover
this.
''Oh. Mary" said she, look, the
rainbow has gone and it's dark, and
We're lons ways from home; on
what will mother say?' And she be-
gan to cry.
Mary was troubled. what would
they say, indeed? And I am the old
est and will get blamed if anything
happens. How are we to get homer
Such were Mary's thoughts, and she
began to feel much more heavy
hearted than when they had started
on their exploit.
But she must get them home some
how. for it wouldn't do to stay out
where all night. What would mother
say?
About an hour before this Mary's
mother had missed the children when
she went to call them for dinner, and
although she called and hunted she
could find them nowhere. After half
hours fruitless search she called for
Jack and his father to hunt for them.
When they were going through the
library, Jack happened to pick up the
girls fairy tale book from where Mary
had left it lying open. When he saw
the page the girls had been looking at
his face frightened and he exclaimed:
81 bet | know where the girls ana
Carl are now. They have been read
ing about where there is a pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow, and no
doubt they have gone to find it,. II

II never thought of that" answered
father. 81 noticed that the rainbow
seemed to end in Farmer Jones'
meadow today, and if they went after
it they probably went on farther when
they saw it wasn't there, and now
they are probably lost. Poor children!'
he ended.
In one minute Jack and his father
could be seen walking rapidly toward
Farmer Jones meadow. By good luck
they took just the course the girls had
taken before them, and about the time
the rainbow had disappeared they had
come up behind the frightened children
WASN'T he good?" said Mary, aside

Mary and Jessie Search for the End OF Rainbow
Honorable Mentlon)

kkA ND we can get Carl that bicycle
u he wants so badly and maybe
IA If there is very much gold we
can buy an automobile. Wouldn't
that be nice?" exclaimed Mary. The
girls hurried on and in very short
time they had crossed the brook ana
were at the foot of the hill. Soon
they had reached the top, but no
rainbow was there.
But farther down in Neighbor Jones
pasture they saw it. so off they started
again, only to find that the rainbow
was gone No, not gone, for they
could see it just little way Off, SO
they trudged YEARLY on till 1t began

Disappeared"
Jessie looked, and sure enough the
rainbow, with all it's beautiful colors,
had vanished.
oh, 1 wish we had not come" she
cried 1--WE will have to go back now
and | am so tired 1 can hardly walk.
They rested awhile and Mary looked
up and saw that the sun was nearly
down and darkness was coming on.
So they started home with heavy
hearts. 1t grew darker and darker as
they hurried homeward as fast as
their poor, tired legs could carry them:

said Mary, "What would mamma do
without us?"
Suddenly they were startled by
noise just in front of them. They
stopped still and listened. The noise
grew louder and louder. Jessie began
to cry. for she thought that surely it
was a bear. Then they heard familiar
voices and some one called their
names.
The girls gave cry OF Joy. for It
was their father and Carl, who had
come in search of them. They soon
found the girls and took them home,
where their mother was anxiously
awaiting them.
After nice warm supper they re-
lated their adventures, much to the
enjoyment of Carl. who thought II a
great joke. They were not scolded
for staying out so late and they did
not need to be told never to go on
such a phantom chase again.

When they arrived at the brook they
were surprised to find the boat belong
ing to Farmer Jones missing. so they
had to walk quite distance to the
will buy for Carl" said Mary. "a nice
boat for all of us to use." The girls
trudged on to the top of the next hill.
Arriving at the top, they saw the rain
bow still farther on.
"How beautiful 1t looks" said Mary.
Just like fiesta cofors," exclaimed Jes-
sic. "Oh, my! I am so tired" said
Mary. "Come on" said Jessie, taking
Mary's hand; 1--WE won't havemuch far
Their to go, for there it is in the CORN
field"
When they reached the first row of
corn they both sat down to rest. After
a while Jessie said: 1T is right in the
can't" said Mary, 'for / am just too
tired; but you go. 1 will wait here.
and should you find the pot of gold
you may call me-"
So Jessie started alone. pushing aside
stalk after stalk of corn which grew
taller as she went on. When she was
in what she thought the center of the
field she sank down exhausted from
the long walk and the exertion in
pushing aside the cornstalks.
She was soon asleep. In the mean
time Mary, who had also fallen asleep,
awoke to find the rainbow gone and
the sun setting. Becoming frightened,
she started after Jessie. When Jessie
awoke and saw that the rainbow had
disappeared she started back to Mary.
Then, as they walked toward home,
every object they saw, even their own
shadows, frightened them. What was
that!" said Jessie ''listen" Jessie!
Mary" called voice. Here we are!"
they cried.
1t was hard to decide which was the
happier, the girls or their father and
mother as they and the neighbors had
been looking for them for a long time
and had almost given up hope of find
ing them. MAUD EDWARDS.

AS the girls went on talking they
neared the stream and hesltated about
crossing it, but finally decided to.
81 do believe Wen get it," said Mary,
as they We're crossing, "but it does look
rather far away"
When they reached this hill It looked
as If it ended just at the top of the
next knoll. Jessie thought it too late
to go on as the sun was setting, but
they trudged on again.
ooh, Mary" said Jessie, 'T am sure
mother won't like it for us staying so
late"
'But she'll be glad If we get the
money! said persistent Mary.
Before they had quite reached the
top of the Hill the rainbow was COW
cred by cloud The girls were dread
fully disappointed and they decided
that If there was pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow no one could ever
get 1t for they could not reach the
rainbow.
AS the sun set the girls found them
selves on the top of the knoll with
hill between them and home. When
coming down the hill toward home the
COW frightened them greatly.
"Oh, run" screamed Jessie, run"

Ere long the hill was reached. Oh,
YOU may imagine what surprised little
girls they were that We're standing Ion
the hill. "Oh, JESSIE" said Mary
1.-The rainbow is just beyond that hedge
of thorns" That "hedge of thorns"
was over one mile and half off, but
as it was still early in the afternoon
short way and then go and get back
home in time for supper. On the way
there was a stream to be crossed. On
crossing Mary's foot slipped and she
fell into the water. The water was not
very deep, so with Jesses help Mary
got out She was wet all through, but
what could they do? The rainbow was
fast fading out of sight, and they must
get the gold. Jessie's own coat was
thrown around Mary. 1t was almost
shutdown, so the girls hurried on. They
had gone on for some time when they
discovered that the rainbow had dis
appeared Oh, what disappointed little
girls they were.
"Where are we, Mary?" asked Jessie.
81 do not know" answered Mary
1t was now dark. Some men were
seen coming with lanters. AS they
came nearer one of the men was recog-
nized by the girls as their own father.
How glad they were, and you may be
sure this was a lesson they always re-
membered. They never went to hunt
for the pot of gold after this.
