stairway.
Lucille excitedly called her father,
who was at the opposite side of the
room. Lucille skipped down the lit

papa carrying lantern. Soon they
came to door, which was opened by
Mr.. Merryweather
The room now disclosed was bare,
except for few empty kegs and some
consoles holding old cracked busts. At
one side of the room was a small win
dow, high in the wall Otherwise the
place was dark. except for the lantern
light. Lucille. who was cropping about
carefully, was not careful enough, for
her head came in contact with some
thing hard. 1t proved to be one of
the consoles.
After cropping about a few moments
Mr.. Merryweather discovered a niche
containing, not a statue, but a barrel
standing on one end. He rolled it out
Of the recess.
He and his little daughter took out
the various articles and put them on
the tables.
Many quaint curios were unpacked.
some being of great value. In few
weeks the Merryweather family moved
into the castle and Lucille never tired
of wandering through the spacious
rooms, where she was always making
new discoveries. NO SIGNATURE.

Lucille.
She took the key from her father,
unlocked the door, and in she fed.
Her father called to her to wait so he
could take her through the castle.

father, but told him to hurry.
They first went through a great,
long hall and came to a large room.
In this room were many beautiful pic
lures. One was the picture of the
prince which had lived there some
time ago.
Lucille went through the castle and
found that it was furnished neatly.
She and her mother and father and
brother and sister lived in this castle
for long time.

The next day she went to the cas-
tie, which pleased her very much.
There were thirteen keys in a dish,
so she took the littlest one and opened
the littlest door She entered and
was decorated with the best paintings.
The doorknobs were of gold and the
floors were marble.
In one room she found trays full of
gold and in the next to the last room
she found a picture of a princess on a
horse.
In the back of the castle were orr
oles, canaries, bobolinks, carrier pig
cons and all sorts of birds.
When Lucille went home she told her
parents about 1t and the next week
they moved into the castle.

a bit afraid. She was thinking of ex-
ploring this underground place.
When she came to an iron door she
searched and searched for a button,
but could not find any. At last she
saw a long stick Right above her was
the button. and she was so excited she
hardly could stand. Pressing 1T
quickly with the stick she stopped, for
the door was cracking: and Lucille
found before her the largest heap of
jewels and money. She met her father
in the passage, and said: Come with
me, father, and let me show you some
thing"
SO with her father she walked to the
place where the jewels were. On top
of the heap was a gold box which
Lucille opened. Within she found a
piece of paper. Papa papa, see what
have found" exclaimed Lucille. Her
father read the note and this is what
it said:
"The person who first finds this may
keep everything as his own" So Luz
ellie was the richest lady in the world.

he said. First, go north and count

So the young man left them, and
they started on.
They went on and on and counted
100 daisies when they saw a stream,
but they went the wrong way. They
thought they were going north when
they were going south.
The girls went north and at last
came to the "Hill of Dreams" 1t was

Lucille tied a pretty hat over her
brown curls, and taking her fathers
hand walked to the stately old castle.
Mr.. Merryweather unlocked the
heavy, weather-beaten door, and they
entered a large, gloomy hall. Finding
nothing of Importance in it, they en-
tered the wide door of a reception
hall, the furniture of which was an
cient but was very costly and fine.
From there they went into a gallery

As they walked along toward the
castle Lucille asked her father many
questions about the nobleman and his
family
On nearer approach she saw that the
castle was much larger than she had
ever imagined. Soon they were walk
ing up the marble stairs. Lucille lin
gered, for she could scarcely believe
she was to go into the castle-the
large, gray castle. with its large, beau
tiful windows. She was reminded that
she must hurry by hearing her father
turn the key in the great iron door
When the door was opened her eyes
opened wide with establishment. She
had never seen such a beautiful place
before.
As Lucille and her father passed on
through the house new wonders met
their eyes. More than once she stopped
TO examine some ancient relic or to
gaze at some grand old portrait: and
often she was frightened when she
came to a secret closet or trap door.
1t was growing late, and Lucille's
father told her that they must start
home. He promised her that he would
take her to the castle again some
other day, and she started for home
very much satisfied with the days adj
ventures.
