Little Ethel Has Strange Adventure at Wishing We'
HONORABLE MENTION

~ THEL heard beautiful song, and
III turning around, she saw cloud
- on which were dozens of little
fairies. It was moving toward the
wishing well.
When the cloud stopped above the
wishing well the fairies got oft and
flew down to the ground by Ethel
One of them, who seemed to be the
leader, exclaimed:
How did you get into the fairy
wood?"
"Oh, I just climbed over the railing
back of grandpa's house, replied Ethel
"rhis is the wishing WE'LL" said
Rosebud, pointing to the wall; The
fairy queen lives here, and every
month she allows us to come here and
make a wish, which, if it is good, she
will grant"
MAY / go to see her?" Ethel asked.
''Yes, you may come with me-" said
Rosebud, touching Ethel with her
wand so she could become small.
Rosebud went to one of the stones
and said:
"Open, little stone door,
So that we may see our queen once
more"
And 10! the stone vanished and Ethel
found herself in a beautiful hall. Rose
bud led the way, and soon they came
to the throne room, and upon the
throne Sat lle DedullIul QuSClls
When the fairies got there they
bowed and sang song, after which
the fairies each made wish. When
it came time for Ethel to make wish
she said:
Beautiful queen, wish that may
come to see you every month" and
her wish was granted Your niece,
MADELINE EVANS.
Palms, Cal. r. F. D.. box 1876.
There was the fairy queen standing
beside her. She was very dainty little
fairy. She had a little gold wand in
her hand She asked Ethel her name
and Ethel told her. Then they had
little talk.
Finally the fairy said that she would
grant Ethel three wishes.
Of course Ethel was very glad she
could have three wishes. The fairy
asked her what her first wish was.
Ethel had to think a minute and then
she thought she would like party, so
she told her wish to the fairy and the
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-18

fairy said all right, and touched her
with her wand and Ethel was in her
own room.
Ethel told her mother about the fairy,
and so they we're ready for the party
the next day. The children all had
a very nice time.
And EthePs first wish was a success.
The next day she went to the we'll
again and the fairy appeared. She
smiled at Ethel and asked her if she
liked her party and Ethel said yes, that
it was just lovely.
The fairy asked her what she would
like this time and she replied that she
would like a picnic for the poor chill
dren. She wanted It IN the woods by
the well. MILDRED WILLIAMS.
I am so sorry 1 could not use all of
this story, but it was written on both
sides of the paper. Don't be discour-
aged, and try again.
Smoke was ascending from the well.
"The water must be on fire." thought
Ethel. who ever heard of such
thing!" She rubbed her eyes to make
sure she was awake, and saw tiny
old woman in the smoke.
She stepped out, and making cour-
tesy said: what can do for you?"
Now Ethel had dozens and dozens
of wishes, but not one could she think
OF then, and the fairy noticing her en-
barrassment said:
maybe you would like to go down
the wishing well.'
Indeed Il would" answered Ethel,

cloud of smoke, down, down, deeper
and deeper till suddenly they stopped,

contained. It seemed as though it
must be enchanted and that some fairy
or magician dwelt here. Certainly the
tall trees, emerald moss and flickers
of golden sunlight made the place a
real fairyland. 1t was very still. Only
the cry of a bird was heard now and
then. Ethel held her breath and went
on still deeper into the solitude with
no feeling of fear. Children are always
favored by fairyfolk.
BY and bye she came to an old brick
WELL moss-grown and vine-covered, in
which an old bucket was hung. Ethel
gave a low cry of delight 1t must
be, it surely was the wishing Well!"
She had heard of this well and of the
fairy who dwelt there, who granted
wishes to deserving mortals. If she
might but ratch a glimpse of her!
Ethel crept up quietly and gazed down
into the sparkling water. A vision of
golden curls and blue eyes danced back
to her, and for a moment she really
thought her wish was granted. But
she soon recognized her own image, and
the disappointment made her sit down
and cry.
Then a strange thing happened.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-18

Ethel was so frightened she could
only lisp, 20, gracious queen, I wish /
was home with mamma"
She felt herself going slowly up.
When she opened her eyes her father,
who had come hunting her, was carry
ing her home.
When she awoke she was glad it was
only dream. Your niece,
LEILA CAMPBELL.
Lankershim, Cal. Age Is.
AS she was gazing down deep into
the we'll it seemed as if her curls of
gold had changed to brown and her
blue eyes to a deep golden brown.
Oh, how happy she was! She had al
ways wanted brown hair and eyes and
now her wish had come true.
She looked again to see If it was
really true and If anyone was near
her, but she could not see anyone and
was rather disappointed at not seeing
the wish fairy. She started to leave
the we'll when she heard a tiny voice
call:
"Ethel!"
She looked deep down in the well
and this-she still had the same blue
eyes and golden curls and she told
grandpa she was sorry to be awake,
for everything had been just a beau
tiful dream. JESSIE CLAUDINO.

Beginning of Story Completed by Juniors

1t was a beautiful gay in June,
The locusts were in bloom, filing the
air with sweetest perfume and the long
road with vistas of pink blossoms; the
June bugs and grasshoppers were live
ly, and wee nestlings chirped and tried
their baby wings in glee. One would
have thought all these things were
enough to amuse one small grille, but
it was not so. Ethel had grown tired,
and sighed for new worlds to conquer.
She looked wistfully at the road outside
the iron railings. 1t was forbidden
ground, and Ethel, not being a dso-
bedient child, turned away from this
temptation. The wood, separated from
her grandpa's garden by broken-down
rail fence, had not been forbidden her.
however, and the little wanderer had
soon yaulted over this and begun her
explorations On new ard, therefore, fas-
cinating ground.
To wander in an unknown land was
beautiful, and tough Ethel wished for
her brothers very much, she hugged
her rag doll close for company and
wandered on in glee. She had so long
wondered what this mysterious wood

and, to Ethel's astonishment, she could
walk right inside. They went on in
silence for what seemed to Ethel hours,
but in truth were only minutes, for
she was far too timid to speak.
Soon they came in sight of very
messy well, which Beatrice said was
the Wishing Well, but, to EthePs dis
appointment, Beatrice had disappeared
Ethel now wished her brothers were
with her, for she was frightened, when
all of a sudden she awoke to find her
brothers standing by her.
They told her they had come and,
not finding her at the house, had set
out to hunt for her. Ethel was afraid
they would laugh at her if she told
them of Beatrice, but she was not con-
Vinced that it was dream, so kept it
to herself. ELOIS HOSKYN.

Then a strange thing happened.
While she was sitting there crying
little creature appeared before her.
She was frightened at first, but the
little creature spoke up and said:

Etheps hand, and down they went
until at last they came to a tunnel that
led straight to one side of the we'll.
They went in and went on until they
came to a lot of little rooms.
The fairy took her to- a dainty little
room at the very end of the tunnel
and there sat the queen. Ethel stood
amazed and did not know what to do.
The queen was the prettiest little
creature she had ever seen.
The queen spoke and said: What
have you came for? Do you want me
to grant you a wish?'

Ethel said, 20, Mr.. Elf, please take

He took her hand and they both
jumped into the well. They went
down, down, down, till Ethel thought
she would never touch anything again.
At last they were in fairyland. Mr..
Elf ushered her by tiny houses made
of rose petals, where in the yards grew
tiny trees and flowers. Fairies were
running about everywhere and all star

presence of the queen, who was sitting
