Herald Juniors Detail Experiences of Moving Day
FIND STRANGER IN NEW HOME
Exploring Castle, Girl Meets Un-
expected Visitor
FIRST PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
TANY years ago there lived In
N Spain a maiden whose name was
Az Lacye. Lacye's father was very
wealthy and one day he surprised her
by telling her he had bought a castle.
In few days they went to live in
the castle and Lacye was very happy.
She would roam all over the castle
and would find many old relics which
had been there for years. One day she
went for a walk in the woods which
were near the castle while she was
walking she came 10 a lake and upon
looking into the water she saw
beautiful girl clad in a white silk robe
which was caught up at the waist with
a golden cord. The dress was low at
the neck and the dark hair fell over
her shoulders to her beautiful dress.
"Oh, it Is my own image" she cried.
That afternoon she was going
through the rooms of the castle. She
lost her way and suddenly came upon
a door which she had never seen be-
fore. The door was bolted and after
working for quite while she at last
got the door open and looking in she
beheld a youth. He was fair, but his
face was sad.
what are you doing here?" she ex-
claimed.
lone year ago." the youth replied,
Lord Zemerie locked me up in this
room. He was angry at my father.
Lord Generic promised to let me free.
You see 1 have plenty of food" he
said, pointing to a small room which
was filled with groceries.
= Lord Zemerie is dead" said Lacye.
my father owns this castle now"
Lacye took the youth to see her faith
er. After a few months Lacye and the
young man were married.

MOVING IN THE PLAY HOUSE
Children Use Express Wagon and
Find Outdoor Abode a Delight
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T WAS sitting out in the swing
one day about the middle of last
a June watching the children play.
Alice was pulling an express wagon
loaded with her dishes and other things
that would go in. Lacy was carrying
some boxes that were used as chairs.
Aren't you glad papa gave us this
place for play .house?" said Lacy.
Eyes, and it will be shady all day
long, too"
BY this time they had reached their
new home.
1t was a shady spot about twelve
feet wide, with two plum trees, one
mulberry and one locust for boundary
lines to the house.
Lacy, look! See that place in this
tree? Well, am going to get papa
to nail board across for a shelf and
we will put the table here by this
tree oh! won't it be fine!''
Eyes, but let's go back and get
. the rest of the things"
Their safe and flower stand were the
last things they brought, then they
began to straighten things around.
Lets put the table over here by
this tree, Lacy"
Eyes, and hang the flower pot on
limb of the tree"

HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
IT'S fun to move all right. I'd like
II to be a Methodist minister 3
Il daughter, for they usually move
once in every two or three years.
There's fun in moving out as well as
moving in, for of course you have to
move out before you can move in.
When you move out you can have
fun playing hide-and go-seek with the
buttons and pins, or in other words,
trying to find the mislaid articles of
which buttons and pins are very nu-
merous.
Moving from the city to the coun-
try is more fun still, or at least l
thought so when 1 moved there a few
summers ago. We went there in a
carriage, and a big van carried our
things. AS we rode along children
would peer at us and women would
stop their work to look at US, as
though we were Taft or some otner
great parsonage.
At last we arrived at our new home,
which now 1 am going to describe.
Our house was a rambling cottage with
six rooms and large verandas on the
east and south. The porch was over
grown with the Cecil Bruner roses and
honeysuckes The grounds about the
place were not Iltle toWh iO'' W.
many acres, planted with lemons and
oranges and almost all other varieties
of fruit grown in Southern California.
The house stood on terrace OF a
hill overlooking a rich valley which
was dotted with ranch houses and al
falfa fields, with here and there a
clump of gum trees-a picture of peace
and prosperity Your niece,

speak of such rude, discourteous
things, so l will put that aside and
tell you how we camped that night.
We made fine high bed in the front
porch and then there was nothing to
do but wait out there in the dark,
and you know how early it gets dark
in the winter. until my father came
from work. Then we began to find
out what kind of people lived in that
neighborhood, all of whom were strang-
ers to us. We were invited to stay in
their houses and accepted so far as to
sit by the fire until bed time. People
seem to think it does not get cold in
California, but try it next winter
sleeping on your front porch. When
I was dressing in the morning my fin
gers were numb with cold. The oc-
cupants inside held the fort until the
limit allowed by law expired. We did
not gain possession until New Years
night
The second night we moved our fold
ing bed in the parlor of our next door
neighbor. They showed us so much
real Christian hospitality that as lons
as I live 1 will remember it, After
ward, when I became well acquainted
with the man Of the house 1 found

him the best and kindest man I had
ever known. 1 had many pleasant
rides with him in his buggy. He was
so agreeable to talk to and always
showed me that he understood and
cared for boys. The third night we
moved in and every one helped us, so

WOMAN POSES 80
YEARS As MAN
Remarkable Story Of Harry Lloyd
Who Made Sacrifice To Shield
Sister From Scorn of World.

LONDON. July 2s.-Harry Lloyd
died IN Enfield the other day aged
"a, Post-mortem developments reveal
ed the astonishing fact that Harry
Lloyd was woman. She had lived
for 80 years as a man, posing as the
husband OF her sisters Legitimate
child
Investigation following this revela-
ton was led to the unfolding OF one Of
those real life stories that go TO prove
tl4e-tfHtA- OF the adage- Lii. truth is
stranger than fiction'
Nearly SO years ago there came 10
London a Belgian girl named Marie
Leroy, the daughter OF Belgian
army officer. She was highly educat-
cd. and she at once began 20 move
in the society of the socalled free
thinkers" among whom were Charles
Bradlaugh, John Stuart Mill, and 9TH
ers connected with the famous old
Hall of Science. She earned a good
living by teaching French, German
and Flemish, and by making transla-
tens from these tongues, ---
Thirty years ago Marie Leroy dis
appeared She dropped from sight as
completely as though the earth had
opened up and swallowed her. Friends
In educational circles made inquiries
/ for her, but as she had no relatives
TO worry about her, there was no
particular effort made to locate her.
She was utterly forgotten 20 years
ago.
Thirty years ago also, there appear
ed In London certain Harry Lloyd
and his wife Eliza. Harry Lloyd was
also a teacher OF French. German and
Flemish.
A few weeks after the Lloyds came
TO London, Eliza Lloyd gave birth 10
child. For 20 years the three lived
happily together, while little Eliza
beth grew TO womanhood. Then the
mother died
parent" whom she had always look
ed upon as her father. and for whom
she has cared tenderly for years, finds
that Harry Lloyd was her aunt.
Thus Marie Leroy. the free thinker,
disciple OF those philosophers who
sought to batter down the walls OF
convention, made a sacrifice almost
without parallel in order that her sis
ter might seem to live a lie alto
gether In accord with conventional
morality. She sacrificed 80 years OF
her womanhood that her sister might
be blameless in the eyes OF the world.
She died in mans clothes, and not
till after her death did anyone have
the shadow OF a suspicion that she
was other thar she seemed. Even
her so-callcd daughter, Elizabeth, fell
ed 10 get any mixing Of TIE secret.
The revelation surprised her aS II did
the rest of tho world.
The facts In the case have not been
easy to get, since the two persons
who knew the facts first hand are
dead, but a careful inquest has final
ly established the identity OF Harry
LLOYD with that OF the lost Marie Lee
Roy.

STEMM,NG DISTRICT.
They Must Deliver No Funked Mold
ed Tobacco For Fear In.
iuring Sales

To the memb ers Of the Stemming
District Tobacco Association | wish
to say In preparing your tobacco
for delivery members should bear in
mind, that in our contract with the
buyers they were not to take tobacco
that is damaged by funk or mold,
hail beaten or dirty from being
rained on after having been cut. So
If you should have any tobacco dam
aged from the above cause you
should separate 1t from the sound or
it will effect the price of the whole
lot. In stripping, assert well and
keep the long aud the short separate.
So the trador can put proper valu-
alton on your crop. Where tobacco
is delivered in mixed lengths he can
only estimate at the amount of each.
Whatever you do; do not sprinkle
tobacco. The buyers are not COM
PEELED to take it until offered IN
proper condition.
Again let me request that you who
are not done stripping to tie in
medium sized hands. In selling the
Crittenden county pool, your Exec
utive Board promised to do this. If
we expect tie buyers to comply with
their part of the contract, we should
be willing to do the same. Believing
you will do this, as good, loyal
members, ] remain,
Yours truly,
W. b. RANKIN,
Chairman Crittenden Co.
