GUESTS OF QUEEN VICTORIA

Two little girls, whose father was
minister in Scotland, were once invited
by Queen Victoria to go and see her at
her castle.
The queen, who was very fond of lit
lit children, was then living at Balmo-
raj castle, her fine home in the north of
Scotland.
The little girls went to the castle, in
their very best clothes, of course, and
when they were taken into the room
where the queen was what do you think
they did? Why, they both went down
on their knees and said: 20 queen, live
foreveri''
The queen laughed and told her little
friends to come and sit near her, and
before long the three of them were
talking together as if they had known
one another for ever so long. But the
best fun was when the good queen, OIL
dering some beautiful toys to be
brought into the room, said to the girls:
'These are for you.' Didn't the little
visitors scream with delight!
Then they had buns and tea, with
cream and other nice things, and then
the carriage came to take the little
girls home again.
But before they left they went on to
their knees once more and said: 20
queen, live forever And please may
we come again another day?'
OF course the queen laughed very
much at this, and she promised that
they should have another day at the
castle. SO the little girls went away
very, very happy And what long
tale they had to tell their father and
mother!

This is the picture of little Euphem-
ia, child who was of such a cheerful
disposition that she danced and skid
ded about from morning till night.
She never walked decorously, one foot
after the other, but always came with
a hop, skip and a jump, just as she
is doing in the picture.
Her school teachers were shocked,
and her great aunts We're scandalized;
they said that they never behaved in
that fashion and they didn't see why
Euphemia should. So at last her
mother consulted the doctor to find out
what was the matter with Euphemla.

trouble is with your child's heart it
is so light that she can't keep down

mother
And that is why little Euphemia
continues to go about with hop, skip
and a jump, just as she is doing in the
picture.

UNFINISHED STORIES
n R. AND MRS. HOPKINS


Az close within doors all the
next day after the Tower of Lon
don visit. That experience had
been SO dreadful that Mrs. Hop
kins was entirely worn out and
the children were glad to remain
quietly in their apartments. They
took advantage of this chance to
send postal cards to their friends
in California.
The day following, however,
Mr.. Hopkins announced at break
fast that he meant to take them
that day to spend several days in
small village where one of Eng
lands noted writers had lived.
He said that this man had lived
a great many. years ago and his
works wkere still considered the
best of their kind. All the chill
dren must study something of
this writer in school before COM
pleting their education and would
receive from these studies very
good idea of the way in which the
common people and the aristo-
Gratis of England had lived in the
earlier days.
The town they went to visit is
about ninety miles from London
and has an old part which con-
tains the old parish church. Holy
Trinity, which has been standing
since the fifteenth century. In
this chancel the bones of the
great writer were inferred. A
bust of the poet with the curious
epitaph which he is said to have
written himself are still to be seen
in the ancient church, and afford
ed much interest to the members
of Mr.. Hopkins party.
Complete this story, telling the name
of the town the party visited, who the
great poet was who had been born
and buried there, what souvenirs of his
residence are still to be seen there and
what you can about his literary works.
Those of you who have eyer heard or
read any of this poets works may tell
about them, too.
One prize, book, will be given in
this contest this week for the best
completed story.
Write from $50 to $50 words, on one
side of the paper, leaving margin at
the top and side of each page. Ad-
dress the letter neatly to Aunt Laurie,
Los Angeles Herald, Los Angeles, Cal,
and be sure that it reaches this office
not later than Thursday, May q, for
publication June 6.

to start out at once sightseeing,
but Mr.. Hopkins advised them
to wait until the next day, when
they would start in the morning
and would spend the day view
ing the town.
When the party assembled at
the table the next morning, the
two men were much disguised
with the English breakfast. THE

ANY one would think that I asked
for o'clock tea, if they should
see this. Who wants tea and
marmalade and cold roast beef

Eyes, sir" and hurried away to
consultation with the head waiter
and cook. Mr.. Hopkins Ameri-
can appetite having been salts
fed, the party put on their wraps,
climbed into their cabs, and sal
lied forth into the London fog.
They first visited the British
museum, and spent the morning
among its interesting historical
objects. Its collection of num-
mics the girls found most inter
esting, and the picture galleries
were visited again and again, as
long as the family stayed in Lon
don.
After lunch they visited the
Tower of London, and, as the
guide narrated the many bloody
deeds that had been transacted
within its walls the girls began
to experience creepy sensations.
The visit held such strong histori-
cal associations that they soon
forgot the present era, and
seemed to be living in the days of
Queen Elizabeth.
1t was late when they finally
reached the torture chamber,
where the guide related many
blood-curdling tales of the royal
prisoners who had been immured
here. They all felt tired out
when they left this gloomy spot
and hurried away to the hotel.
AS they approached the wait
ing cabs Jessie discovered that
she had lost her handkerchief,
handsome one which she valued
highly. Thinking that she must
have dropped it on the stairs, she
turned and, calling to Mary to
wait Tor her, ran 1Sntly DaCk
along the way they had come.
Mary turned to explain to her
father, but he had stopped near
the wall to light his cigar, and
lust then her mother called her
to get in the cab with her, and
they drove away.
Complete this story, describing Jes-
sizes adventures alone in the Tower,
her effort to find her handkerchief,
where she discovered it and what cir
cumstances attended her leaving the
party in this way. Describe her moth
er's fright when she realized that Jes-
sic was actually left behind and the
efforts which they had to make to get
poor, frightened Jessie back again.
