Horse Enjoys Ride

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Tommy was little boy about years
old, and his greatest longing was to
see and ride on the horse car in Denver
which he had heard so much about.
Tommy lived in a town about ten miles
from Denver.
One day his mother said to him.
Tommy, you have been a very good
boy this summer. and as a reward 1
will take you to Denver, where you
may have a chance to ride on the
horse car" Tommy was very happy
and could hardly wait for the time to
come.
At last he boarded a car for Denver
and almost before he knew it he was
there. Then his mother took him to
the place where the horse car was
The car had just reached the top of
the hill and was about to come down.
The conductor unhitched the horse and
it got on a low platform at the rear
end of the car and stood there as the
car went down the hill.
Tommy and his mother were the only
passengers going up the hill, so Tommy
asked many questions about the horse.
When they reached the top Tommy
wanted to go down, but his mother
said mo-"
AS they were alighting from the car
Tommy heard some one cry why,
hello. Tommy" He looked around and
saw his cousin standing beside a car
riage with his uncle and aunt.
This was a surprise his mother had
planned for him. He had a fine time
and had many rides on the curious
horse car before returning to his home.

With an OK Team

Dear Aunt Laurie:
In a newly settled part of Michigan
a crowd of boys and girls went black
berry picking in a large tract of woods
about seven miles away.
In this tract of woods people have
been lost, but as there were plenty of
berries we decided to go there.
The farmer who was going to take
us over with his OK team called us be-
tween 3 and in the morning.
We arrived at our selected place
about a. m. and the farmer was
very elated over our rapid progress.
When driving oxen one has no reins,
but instead guides the team by a
touch of the whip and two words,
Gee" and "Haw."
At noon 1 started for the lunch,
which was in the old lumber wagon.
The farmer said that 1 never could
find the way. but I watched the moss
on the trees, which was always on the
north side of the tree. 1 arrived at
the wagon safely.
After day of fun we started home
with loads of berries. We started
about half past and arrived home
at s.
oh! my. but we were glad to rest
after riding over stumps and the other
things that came in the way of the
oxen.
That night I dreamed of rides in the
Jolt wagon. as it is called in Ken
lucky The rest said they dreamed OF
berries and runaways.

National park of Shiloh and is a beau
tiful place. We registered our names in
a large book, walked out over the bat
tlefield, picked up some old rusty bullets
and walked through the beautiful bury
ing ground. We then boarded our boat
for Kentucy, back down the Tennessee,
and up the Ohio to visit my grandpa,
who lived some miles above the Ten
nesee. We had a most delightful trip
on the boat. All the ships officers were
very nice, besides a large crowd of pas
sengers.
We had friends making the same
trip.
A fine band furnished music for all
the meals, and after supper for all who
wished to dance.

that ran into the same pool. 1t was
very pleasant to bathe in the pool.
We children had a great deal of fun
picking acorns, wild roses and ferns.
We camped in this beautiful place for
three days. Then we started for
Newport Beach. We travelled through
Santa Ana canyon on our way to
Newport. 1t is a very beautiful canyon.
Sometimes we would travel on a very
a steep mountain, where we could
look almost directly down below US
into the Santa Ana river. 1t was
very beautiful to see the river running
and sparkling through the green trees.
It's banks were covered with green
grass Sometimes there were cattle
grazing on the banks of the river.
When we Travelled beside the river
we were in the shade of some beautiful
trees most of the time. We camped
cne night by the river on our way to
Newport. 1t took us three days to get
to the beach. We got there one~even-
ing about o'clock. We enjoyed the
beach very much, but not as well as
the mountains
The next day, toward evening, a
storm came UP on the sea. The waves
dashed so high against the bank that
the spray hit our wagon and tent.
Papa did not think it best to stay
there, so we started for home. The
storm did not spoil our ride. We en-
joyed it just the same. 1t took us two
or three days to get home. We were
all glad to get home, although we had
a lovely ride. Your loving niece,

On all sides seemed to be a vast stretch
of endless blue. 1 could scarce hold
back my tears when 1 realized my sit
uation. 1t truly was trying one to be
lost on the Great Lakes all by myself
on a dark night.
By careful survey of all sides I could
barely discern a faint light in the
southwest.
1 rowed for about two hours and
landed on an unknown port I walked
unsteadily up the path to the house
from whence the light came ana
knocked at the door.
A little girl opened the door for me,
and l came in blinking. Everybody
looked up at me surprisedly at seeing
q strange girl coming at such late
hour.
An elderly lady rose, and made me
welcome.
I told her my story, and she tele-
phoned to mother to assure her of my
safety and to say she would keep me
for the night and send me back the
next morning. When l was warm ana
dry she sent me to bed.

Lost on the Lake
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Please excuse me for writing with
pencil, but it doesn't take me so long,
and haven't had any time since moth
er was hurt to write and tell you about
the nice time 1 had at the picnic or
anything else except cooking, washing
dishes, sewing and all manner of house
keepers affairs. Mother is quite heavy
and she fell from the second floor,
striking her head on the pavement.
1 took several cushions and some of
my favorite books and got into the
boat, turned and rowed swiftly out into
the lake for a nice long, quiet, after
noon with Louisa AIcott and mother
nature.
1 pulled in the oars, settled myself
comfortably in the cushions and buried
my face in the Eight Cousins" Per-
haps some of the Herald Juniors have
read it. Don't you think it interesting,
Aunt Laurie? 1 had hardly got to
where Rose met her cousins when fell
asleep.
My boat, Swallow, swung round and
/ seemed to be floating down little
stream. The banks were covered with
moss and ferns and dense masses OF
trailing vines. On one side willow
hung into the water, and back OF IT,
rising tall and dark against the sky,
-
The sun had gone down, but the sky
was a glory of color. A pale moth
moon hung low in a bed of crimson,
and the stars were beginning to peep
out. On the other side the flaming
colors of the western skies were re-
flected on the snow capped peaks that
rose tall and stately in the northeast.
The snow was delicate pink and the
sky was a pale violet. Not even q
tree or a farm house broke the even
horizon save the range of dark violet
mountains.
The land s1oped gently down to the
stream. An old zig-zag rail fence ran
across the otherwise unbroken stretch
OF green Then / saw a slender girl
living face downward on the grass, her
long dark hair falling in mass to her
knees. When came closer she ntteo
a tear-stained face to me.
There was a look of appeal In those
large dark eyes as she stretched out
her arms to me. A current of water
struck my boat, and work as l might, L
couldn't get 1t to shore. 1t carried my
boat down stream against rock, turn
ing me into the water.
Down, down I went, and 1t seemed
hours before two soft arms went
around my waist and drew me to land.
lust then dim light broke over me
and 1 was awakened by q cold night
wind blowing into my face.
The moon was coming from behind a
cloud when I sat up rubbing my eyes.

An Uncomfortable Ride

Dear Aunt Laurie: -. -
NV first experience in tourist car
was on the through train from Ken
tucky in August. Our first wreck was
at Pueblo. Colo, where we stayed from
a. M until the following evening. rms
DELAY was on account of the washout.
At Royal gorge, after having losG
thirty-six hours, train No. got aneau
of us and was wrecked in Royal gorge.
The water rushing madly from the peak
1000 feet in height reminded US Oh 'ilo
mighty waters at Niagara Fails
Finally our little coach, NO l2l4' was
carried a few miles farther, WORKING
men warning us of danger ahead. we
Travelled that way for twenty-rouf
hours. Between Salt Lake City and Og@
der. our sleeper was filed with all kinds
of people. bridal party from Ken
lucky made it lively for while. A
few of us started with our lunch bas-
kets. but our lunch ran short on ac-
count of the wreck. We stopped at
every eating station. Finally we got
TO Oakland. at 430 a. m, part OF the
time we were attached to freight car.
We arrived in Los Angeles at 1880 p m.
the next afternoon.

When the Horse Rides

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Denver, the Queen City of the West,
nossesses one of the Oldest horse cars
known. This one is the Cherrelyn
horse car, which runs out by the
Tuilleries gardens, up steep hill 1t is
a little rattle trap affair, which LOOKS as
though II were about to fall to pieces.
The horse pulls it up the hill, but
when it is ready to come down the
horse is unlocked and wearily steps
upon the rear platform. the one thaS
was in front going up. He is tired and
detected, and 1 don't suppose he cares
whether he gets to the bottom OF the
hill or not, for then he must pull the
car up again. III

Riding on Coaster
ear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The ride that 1 had was one I didn't
like very well. 1t was on the roller
coaster.
One evening my mother, father, sister,
brother and 1 went down to ocean
Park.
My father asked us if we wanted to
ride on the roller coaster. They all
wanted to, so rather than stay alone
and wait for them 1 went, too, although
1 felt as If 1 wouldn't like it.
We went straight up in the air, it
seemed to me, but when we got to the
top it seemed as if / would rather do
anything else than ride in that horrible
roller coaster again.
All of q sudden it turned very swiftly
around a curve, then down a little hill,
then around another curve till l
thought L would like to jump right into
the ocean. Finally began smiling, for
we were to get off. But, no; my father
was too much of a tease to let me out.
Again we climbed the hill, and so had
all our experience over again.
When we drew into the station for
the third time I shivered as though L
had been on chunk of ice for an hour
or more.
The next morning as I lay in my bed
1 heard mother saying, "Her throat
was pretty sore" Yes, and 1 did have
a pretty sore throat, too.
My father never would give in to
anything else but that 1 didn't keep
covered well. But know it was from
my screaming so much
Now when go to the beach the first
thing 1 do is to ride on the roller
coaster, and as it gayly and swiftly
turns the corner always think of my
first ride MARIAN ATWATER.

my uncle.
He was ready by 1 o'clock to start to
town for groceries ana load of lum-
ber to build a new barn. I asked him
if 1 could go, and he said, 81 thought
you were going to the party at
o'clock tonight" "Yes," said /; "but
that has nothing to do with my going.
You don't intend to stay longer than
an hour, do you?" mo-" said my un-
Gle; ''but it is seven miles to town." ut
only takes an hour to go to town il
you let the horses walk" said I.
It was o'clock when we reached
the city. My uncle went to buy the

A Stolen Ride
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
am going to tell you about little
boy. John was Herald Junior. Every
Sunday he would write a story, but
he never got any prize. He then be-
came discouraged, and when Sunday
came ne didn't buy the paper
81 think it's very mean that Aunt
Laurie don't give me anything. I'm
going to see her."
Now, John lived long way. from the
city. He knew his mother wouldn't let
him go to Los Angeles alone.
One hot afternoon he went over to
the railroad track, climbed into box
car and hid behind some large boxes.
They were wrapped in newspaper.
AS the car sped along John noticed
among the papers Herald Junior.
He looked it over and found one of his
stories, headed First Prize
At the next stop he got off. He met
a farmer he knew and went back with
him in his wagon.
All the way were flowers and trees.
Once he got out to get some fruit.
They passed the schoolhouse, deserted
through vacation, and an old church.
When they got home he told his
mother about the prize.
The next Friday John went with
Aunt Laurie to the beach. Your niece,

water was very rough, and when we

Ethel and I were sitting in one end.
He would make the boat dip, so OF
course the water came in the END
where we were sitting and got US all
wet, and that frightened us. we
We asked him to take us back. He
laughed SO much at us that the tears
