We sold our household goods and
started out one bright morning for the
far west.

but it meant months of hardship, trav-

mountains. There were also great dan

trail, and of the Indians. l lived in
great terror of the latter.
1--WE had toiled patiently over the
mountains, avoiding danger, when one
night a snowstorm broke upon us. We
knew that we were very near the val
ley, but that If we should lose the
trail that led down into 1t 1t would
mean death.
"In the morning no sign of the trail
co lid be seen, but we started out In
the direction we thought it to be. We
wandered about for hours. and at last
realized that we were hopelessly lost.
We could not stop, as that would mean
freezing, so all there was to do was to
drag ourselves on.
Suddenly over the brow of a little
hill a man appeared, and we~thought
surely we were to be saved. But as
he came nearer our terror returned
with double force, as we realized that
he was an Indian. He did not appear
hostile. so your grandfather called to
him. He came nearer and we tried
to explain that we were lost. We did
not know whether he understood us
or not, but as your grandfather fin
ished speaking he moved on short
distance, and then turned and beck
oned for us to follow. After several
hours of travelling we came around a
narrow bend and saw low, green val
ley spread out before u.s. Turning to
thank our guide, we found that he had
slipped quietly away

RoBALA-BooBALA

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NV grandmother knew many stories
but she liked a certain one best, for
she thought 1t taught us to obey and
to be good. IT was called "Bobala-
Boobala," and am going to tell it to
you.
Once upon a time three ladies' (sup-
posed to be my aunts) went to town
and left their children all in one house.
They were given orders to do all their
work and be good, but under all cir
cumstances not to let Bobala- bala
Ia wicked demon) into the house. The
children promised, and went to work.
About an hour later very loud
knock was heard. Everybody trembled
hurt u.s." said Myra, but she really
was afraid herself. The minute she
opened the door the girls screamed and
ran eYerywhere-into the flour bin,
under the bed and into the pantry.
Bobala-B -Boobala found all except one,
gobbled them whole and fell asleep.
Soon the ladies came home. Every
thing was topsy turvy. 1t was plain
enough to see who had paid a visit
Aunt Barbara called all the children,
but Lila (the best child) was the only
one who answered. She came running
out of the soup tureen and softly tip
toed to where the demon lay heavily
sleeping. She ran for a pair of scis-
sors, some thread and a needle. AS
Bobala-B -Boobala was ripped open the
children jumped out one by one. Then
he was filled with rocks and sewed up
quickly. When he awoke he ran for a
drink in the stream, and while taking
a long draught fell into it. After that
the children were good, and always
did what their mother told them.

Old Hen
(FIRST PRIZE)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY GRANDMOTHER likes best
H 1.-THE White Old Hen" She is
AIA not home now, but 1 remember
the story, she has told it to me so
often. This it:
A white old hen with yellow legs,
Who laid her master many eggs,
Was roosting in an outer novel.
Where barrel. bird cage and shovel
Were put TO keep them from the
weather.
A sly old fox crept in one night
Just as the moon was shining bright.
In hopes, If his nose he might stick in,
And carry off a good fat chicken,
or by some window ledge or shelf
Might Jump and reach old hen herself
Her roost.. however was so high,
He saw 1t was in vain to try
BY all his jumping to get at her
So, said he, 81 think I'll fatter
The old fools vanity; for look,
Have her / must, by hook or crook
SO thus spoke Reynard, smooth and SLY,
And thus Dame Biddie made reply;
my dear madam, how do you dor
I'm mono the better. sir, for you."
Better you need not cannot, be;
You're always we'll enough for me-
"Well, IL am, then. as you own,
Pray, sir, let we'll enough alone
"My dear madam, il you only knew
But half the love 1 feel for you"
"But half, be 1t great or small, sir,
/ rather think l know 1t all, sir
I'm sick and early went to bed,
And scarcely can hold up my head
my dear madam. what can all?
Indeed you do look very pale.
I'm sure your illness can arise
But from the lack of exercise.
A pleasant walk in open air
With pleasant company at night,
Will set you right. or should you tire.
I'll call a hack. or. better, take you
on my back"
"Weil, Master Reynard, have you done?
If So | think you'd better run.
My master is coming to the hoVel.
You see that broomstick and that
shovel.
You see the door that you came in at,
And if you're not out in a minute,
Instead of fowl, or even chicken.
You'll get, as you deserve. kicking"
Moral: The cunning seldom gain the
end.
The wise are not without friend.

FATHER TIMES DAUGHTERS
Each Season Is a Beautiful
Woman
(sBoOND PRIZE)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
~ GRANDMOTHER and her grandchil-
tT dren sat before the fireplace. So
W she told a story which her mother
had told to her.
Father Time" she began. had four
daughters-Sprlng. Summer Autumn
and Winter They took turns in ruling
the earth. When one returned home
another would go and rule.
Spring liked to sew. She saved her
scraps and when she ruled she flung
them down to the earth to become
leaves and grass. Spring had a son,
but he lived with the frost giants.
When she wept for him her tears made
rain for the earth.
Summer was a naughty girl and
loved to adorn the earth and herself
with flowers.
Autumn was a fine artist. So Father
Time gave her the task of painting the
leaves each year. One year when Au-
tumn was mixing her colors Summer
returned home, and she had to hurry
away. She painted the leaves, but they
faded to brown. After that she never
could mix her colors, and each year
they turned brown.
winter was a society girl During
her rule she gave many parties. When
she would enter the ball room the fairy
would throw bonbons at her, and they
fell to the earth as snow.
winter sometimes lost her temper
and blew her breath across the earth
and made storms.
'DThen," continued grandmother,
mother would say: Don't be like
Spring, always sad: don't be naughty as
Summer, don't be careless like Autumn,

IT was almost time to bring them In at

the window, not daring to drive her
away. l could not hang washing on
