A NARROW ESCAPE
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My grandmother used to call US
all to come near to the old fireplace and
then she would tell us stories about her
childhood days. Once she told us about
the Indians, and how she had had to
keep the doors barred night and day
to keep them out.
One day as she was going into the
yard an Indian shot at her. She
dropped as though she were dead.
The Indian watched her for about ten
minutes, wondering what he should
do with her. After a while he went
to get a shovel SO that he could bury
her.
After he was out of sight she got
up and ran to the house, where she got
the gun and ran back. She had hardly
reached the place when the Indian ar
rived. She laid in wait for him and
when he came into the garden She
fired and killed him. Grandmother
was very fond of telling this story

cHIcKIRlDDY's DEATH

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My grandmother used to tell lots of
stories. | will tell one that l can re-
member and that | liked when l was
small. The name of it is Little
Chickibiddy.'
one day Little Chickibiddy was under
a berry bush when a berry fell on her
head. 1t felt as though the sky was
falling, so she ran to tell the king.
She had gone a little way when she
met Duckluck.
"Duckluck." said Chickibiddy. "where
are you going this fine morning.
Il am going to tell the king the sky
is falling" said Chickbiddy.
They ran along together and met
Gooseloose who also asked where they
were going.
1--WE are going to tell the king that
the sky is falling. Come along. they
said.
AS they ran along they met many
friends. The last one was FoxloX, and
he asked where they>were going. He
said: II know where the king lives;
come along and l will show you"
So they went with him. Soon they
came to a hole in the ground, and he
said: Isn't this a lovely place? This
is where the king lives. Now, come
on in: he won't care" They went in,
but never came out again. They soon
found that the king did not live there,
but that Foxlox and his family did.

THE TRAPPED LION

Dear Aunt Laurie
One day a boy who was in fight
wanted me to help him, but I did not
want to. I went to my grandmother
and told her about it, and she told me
this story:
One day a lion was walking through
the brush and was caught in a net.
A little mouse came up to him and
said, IT will help you" so he went
to work with all his might. He gnawed
the ropes in two and freed the lion.
Grandmother said that should be a
lesson. If you see any one in distress
help him out if possible.

A CLEVER REPRooF
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Whenever / went to see my grandma
when l was small. about 4 or 5 years
old would usually get into some
mischief. But if she asked me what
1 had been doing I would always say
nothing at all.
Grandma had just gone to take her
afternoon nap, and l was playing out
doors. I thought that L would like
some sugar. The sugar bowl was kept
on the third shelf in the cupboard, and
1 could get it by standing on a chair
l knew that grandma did not like TO
have me take it, but 1 thought per-
haps she would not care just this time
/ was eating the sugar when the bowl
fell from my hands and broke into a
great many pieces.
Grandma heard the noise and came
to see what l had broken. Seeing that
it was the sugar bowl, she did not
say anything, but said she would tell
me q story. l was very glad, for !
liked stories. 1t was as follows:
Once upon a time there were two
little girls who had a pet lamb which
they were very fond of. One day its
head got caught in some barb wire and
it was killed. The two little girls felt
very sorry and every day would go
to his grave and say, what is the
matter, Billy?" but Billy said nothing
at all.
l sat very still during the story
but l didn't know how Billy could say
nothing at all when he was dead.
Grandma explained to me what it

THE CRUEL PUSSY

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Here is a funny story grandma told
me.
1t was on a cold night pa was Off
to the battle. We were singing songs
when all of a sudden Mary screamed:
"Oh mother! oh mother! Please look!
Oh. do you see that white streak curl
ing round and round? It's near our
marten box. but of course it can't be. y
We looked on a little while, then went
to bed. In the morning l went to see
if the martens were gone. Yes, they
were. That cat is what Mary saw last
night. The martens were all dead.
