THE ENCHANTED CHAIN

for home The more Jasper tried to
loosen the claim the tighter 1t grew
until he felt so choked he was glad
to leave it untouched, and it gradu-
ally became tritie less irksome
Now began time of torture for Jas
per, for the wicked elf was always at
his elbow, he made the boy tease his
little brothers and sisters, stay away
from school and utter terrible un-
truths.
One day the elf whispered: Jasper,
you must be more mischievous, you
are too good. 1 wish you to go out to
the barn, harness up the COW and we
will travel far from your parents, who
are always scolding you"
Now you see, dear children, that Jas
per was enchanted by Mischief, so he
was obliged to obey; the patient old
cow looked at Jasper, in great sur
prise, when he harnesSed her up: but
he jumped on her back and drove her
out of the barn, then he and the elf
started on their journey.
After they had travelled all day and
night had come on Jasper was ter
ribiy tired. He had not been able to
ride on the cows back, as her bones
were very sharp How anxious he was
to reach the wondrous castle that the
elf had promised should be his.
when he was almost asleep the elf
cried: "Beho1d!" And he saw an open
door directly ahead of him.

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 s-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 catch a glimpse of her!
Ethel crept up quietly and gazed down
into the sparkling water. A vision or
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 strange thing happened.
Complete this story, telling what you
think happened to little Ethel. She
might have fallen asleep and had de-
lightful dream with wonderful adven-
lures She might have met some Won

fairy queen through the Wishing Well.

One day a lad who was on his way
to school met a very, very old man,
who said to him: Little boy, what
is your name, and where are you go
ing?"
The boy answered: my name is
Jasper, and am on my way to school;
but wish 1 had holiday all the time.
do not like my teachers; 1 do not
like to study; I do not like to go to
school,"
Then the old man invited Jasper to
take a walk with him to the woods.
He said: 1--WE will gather flowers and
we will have lots of fun"
But when they reached the woods the
old man changed all at once into tiny
elf, and he danced around and be-
haved in such an impish fashion that
Jasper cried: "How can you change
so quickly from a bent, old man to a
tiny child, and will you please tell
me your name?"
Then the eli answered: my name is
Mischief. ! love to enchant children,
especially boys" Whereupon he threw
chain around Jasper's neck and
cried: Nov, you are an enchanted
boy. and you will be in my power
until you can persuade some one 10
remove the chain from your neck
There is a powerful fairy whose name
is Good Resolution. She is the only
one who is powerful enough to aid
you"
BY this time Jasper was very much
frightened.

I find that good, kind fairy?"
"She is a very wonderful and tiny
fairy" said the elf. Children often
find her very difficult to keep after they
have discovered her"
Jasper and the Mischief now started

1t was a beautiful Say in June
The locusts were in bloom, fling 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 diso-
bedient child, turned away from this
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 vaulted over this and begun her
explorations on new AID, therefore, fas-
cinating ground.
To wander in an unknown land was
beautiful, and though 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
contained. 1t seemed as though it
must be enchanted and that some fairy
or magician dwelt here. Certainly the
tall trees, emerald moss and fiickers
of golden sunlight made the place
real fairyland. 1t was very still. Only
the cryaof a bird was heard now and
then. Ethel held her breath and went

SCHOOL TOPICS WILL BE
INTERESTING

My Dear Boys and GIFTS:
In a short time we will have some of
the prettiest new Herald Junior pins
for prizes, and am sure you will like
them. They will be in the shape of the
pennants and will have Los Angeles
Herald Junior" written in gold upon a
crimson background. Each one of you
must work hard to earn one. They will
be given for the prize in the unfinished
story contest and both prizes in the
limerick contest. If at any time you
wish to substitute the pin for one Of
the dollar prizes you will be privileged
to do so.
Several times of late I have re-
ceived requests to substitute a contest
for older children in place of one of the
present contests. From experience
am quite sure that it would not be
success. It has been but a short time
since I discontinued the history contest
which had been substituted for the un-
finished story. The purpose of that
contest was to give the older children
chance to broaden their field of knowl-
edge as we'll as to make a division of
the ages. After the first two or three
weeks the enthusiasm died and soon
only the younger children were writ
ing. 1 will try to give topics which
will interest older children as much as
possible. OF course when 1 find two
stories of equal merit, one of which is
from a child younger than the other,
I will give the first prize to the younger
child and the prize next in order to
the older child. So I hope my nieces
and nephews who have written for
such a long time will not give up, for IL
would grieYe me very much to lose any
one of you.
When it is time for you to have the
stories in, the topics of which I will
tell you now, you will be in school
again and the daily routine of lessons,
recitations and after-school games will
have become the days work of which
you are particularly fond.
1 know the novelty of the whole
scheme of things will not have worn
away yet, so 1 have given the artists
a school topic, too. 1 think pictures
showing llOHle lll6 dIe 81 pretty anu
1 have given you the topic with hopes
that you will see the pretty pictures
presented when the family is gathered
around the big lamp on the study
table, mother sewing, father reading
the evening paper, baby playing on the
floor near by and many similar effects.
OF course [ want you to look around
and see the many pictures presented
while the children are studying. Some
times they study in the afternoon, you
know, and several boys and girls will
be gathered together, their heads bent
over some problem in arithmetic. You
will see a fine lesson in the unfinished
story this week if you look close
enough. The poor little boy you see
was chained to the naughty elf, Mis-
chief, and had to find some stronger
influence to overcome the evil effect.
He must have had some very exciting
adventures while searching for his de-
liverer What do you suppose he found
in that cave or castle or whatever 1t
was he found at the end of his ride on
the back of the gentle old COW?
1 look every week for each separate
letter and am disappointed If any one
of them is missing, so don't forget to
write to your loving ,,,u ,,,prr

tior department. Aunt Laurie Is enabled 10
make the following announcement: Whenever
q prize OF a book OF one dollar is awarded
