Harry's Wonder Cave

ing into 1t is too small to admit of a mans

got stuck, and had to wriggle his way out
again as best he could. But he declares
that inside that narrow passageway there
is fine, big cave. Now, il | can find that

self, Harry looked about for good strong
stick with which to dig I'm the side OF the

the form of a broken cottonwood limb,
strong and sharp at one end. Evidently 1t
had been wittled out to be used as a prop
to a camping tent and left on the ground
by the campers when they departed
With the stick over his shoulder Harry
proceeded to hunt up and down the rocky
ledge for some sign OF a cave, For half
an hour or more he searched Ia vain.
Then. just as he was about to give up
the search, his eve caught a small, dark
spot beneath some vines and grass which
chung against the cool rocks, Pulling these
aside, he saw a small hole leading be-
meath a great shelving rock. He lay down
and peered within. The small opening
seemed to lead into nothing, for just about
three feet from the outer edge sudden
wall appeared. But, straining his eyes,
Harry could see that the wall did not lay
close sgainst the outer edge. There seemed
a narrow passage way turning at this
point. Harry crept into the hole, a very
tight fit, and stuck his arm around the

By Lucille Lathrop Aged II Years, 24l7
Charles Street, Omaha. Blue Side.
1t was Blessings twelfth birthday. She
had told her father and mother instead of
a present she wanted them to give some
children vacation. So it happened that
five happy Attic brothers and sisters started
for farm not far from the city.
The lady on the farm was very kind to
them She let them feed the chickens and
gather the eggs. 1t was the first time they
had done such thing because they had
lived in a tenement and had not even had
grass TO play on. 1t was in the fall so they
filled many baskets with nuts and apples
They had lots OF fun the week they were
there.
The last day Blessing came and took
them to the woods where they picnicked
all day. They waded in the brook and had
a fine time. When they went back to the
city they had nuts and apples the lady had
given them.
They all said that Blessing had a very
appropriate name, and that because of her
unselfishness they had had very happS

Donald was a very forgetful boy. one
day his mother asked him to so to the
store and get her dozen eggs, pound OF
tea, and gallon of vinegar. She said to
him. shall / write It down for you"
"Oh, no." said Donald, IT can remember
that much. You must think I'm baby"
Alright" said his mother, "hurry back"
Donald ran out and started for the store
He met some OF his friends and stopped
to play with them. Soon lie remembered
he was to go to the store. He ran on,
when he got there, he said to the clerk,
Il want a pound OF eggs a gallon Of tea,
and dozen vinegar.
The clerk laughed and said, Il think you
have forgotten what you want, little boy
you had better run home and find out
what It is"
Donald started home 10 find out what he
wanted. On his way the birds seemed TO

When he got home his mother had the

supper time came. but when Donald came
in there wasn't any supper on the table.
He went to his mother and she said, "Oh!

Donald was very hungry and he saw what

turning passageway. Yes, there was surely
an opening leading somewhere beyond But
Harry knew he could not go very far
round that curve, for his hand told him
the opening was narrow and very low. But
he would try going in as far as possible.
He managed to crawl around the turn,
Then he found himself in a dark, close tun-
mel like passage, scarcely high enough to
admit of his figure, lying down. But the
height of the passage did not menace him
so much as did the width. At one side
rock jutted right into the opening. Grasp
ing this in his hands, Harry found he
could shake it. All, the rock was loose!
Surely, It had been placed there by human
hands and had been so wedged into place
as to deceive the casual observer. This
must be a hiding place of some sort. Harry
became excited. and reached behind him
for the heavy stick which he had brought
into the caves entrance with him. By
digging and prying and pulling with all
his might he got the rock lossened suf-
ficiently to drag towards him. This he did
crawling backwards as he forced the OBJ
stacle towards the outside OF the passage
He must have worked for sometime be-
fore managing to dislodge the rock, and
ultimately getting 1t to the outside of the
caves entrance, for when he reached open
air again he was surprised to see the sky
heavy with a great boiling, angry cloud,
from which lightning flashed, to be fol-
lowed by terrific peals OF thunder. While
inside the deep passageway Harry had not
been able to hear sound from without.
Sudden gusts Of wind were coming across
the prairies, heralds of the storm which
was about to break.
Harry got 10 his feet quickly, and looked
about him. He knew he could not reach his
home-five miles distant-before the storm
was in full progress And 1t promised TO be
furious gale, accompanied by hail and
rain.
Gee, ] mustn't forget Beauty" said
Harry to himself. And he ran to the spot
where he had left his pony tied to the cot
tonwood sapling, But the limb 10 which
the bride had been tied was split from the
slender trunk, and no pony was in sight,
"Ah. Beauty's made off for home" he
commented. well, I'm afraid mother and
daddy will become alarmed about me when
they see the little horse rideress. But
and Harry scanned the sky-'1'll have to
get under cover or I'll be carried into the
air"

Marguerite's Summer Vacation
in Fairyland.

BY Helen HaRRart Aged Il Years ST.
Paul. Neb. Blue Side.
II was TIE first OF July and the school
had just closed for the summer. The day
was very hot and sultry and Marguerite
was lying in the hammock thinking OF the
fun she would have on Independence day.
Suddenly she heard q musical little voice
say: "Marguerite"
She looked up and saw a tiny fairy, with
flnly wings and flowing robes. In her
hand she held a golden wand with a gilt
tering jewel in the end.
Would you like to spend part of your
vacation in Fairyland?" asked the fairy.
"Oh, yesr' said Marguerite, eagerly.
"only--Tm pretty big. If all the fairies
are as small as you, I'm afraid I'd tramp
on them" oh" that is easily remedied,' -
said the fairy, and she touched the little
girl with her wand.
Then when Marguerite tried 10 get down
from the hammock her feet would not
reach half way TO the ground.
Never mind getting down. Here is my
chariot" said the fairy. And Marguerite
saw a tiny carriage, drawn by white
butterfly on the hammock.
Jump in" said the fairy. She did So,
and soon found herself in the beautiful
streets OF Fairyland. They drove straight
to the palace, where they were to see the
queen. Marguerite had learned that the
fairy whom she was with was one Of the
queens pages.
Days passed very quickly in Fairyland
and before Marguerite had been there q
half hour she had spent several days, and
the Fourth had arrived. In the evening
they had fireworks that did not shoot gu;
fire, but a pretty, red, blue and purple
glow. Marguerite had some OF these, and
just as she lit one she heard her mother
