GRANDMA's ROMANCE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Grandma had beeen to our house
about a week, when one night as we
gathered around the fireplace my sis
ters begged her to tell us a story.
She thought a moment, then said she
would tell us her favorite story.
1t was q beautiful evening and the
sun was just setting. 1t made red
glow on the snow-capped mountains.
Beautiful rose clouds tinged with gold
were over our heads. The birds were
flying to their nests with chirps and
twitters. Everything was Natures
most beautiful work.
A young girl with golden hair and
sparkling eyes was walking down an
arbor with a handsome man. They
were not talking much. but walked In
silence, till the man stopped under
weeping willow tree.
Grandma told how there he had de-
clared his love, which made her 50
happy, and then they were engaged.
And when he placed a ring on her
finger he kissed her. and they had
vowed never to part until death, cruel
DEATH parted them.
How happy she was She thought
him a king among men and he thought
her a queen among women. They mar
ried in a month and bought small
farm and settled down to housekeeping.
When a child was born how great was
their happiness.
And then how suddenly her happiness
had ceased when her husband had died
of heart trouble.
His death was such a shock that
silver threads took the place Of the
gold in her hair.
Grandma cried when she told US. and
tears fingered in our eyes, only to be
brushed away quickly.
We all rose. and. with good-nights
and kisses. retired to ponder over
grandma's romance. Your niece,

A NARROW ESCAPE
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My grandmother's favorite story was
about crossinng the plains when she
was little girl
When she was about IL years old her
father decided to go to California to
prospect.
One morning they packed up their
goods and brought out their wagon,
which was called a prairie schooner.
They started out early the next
morning. The roads were bad and
rough. Grandma was in the wagon
with her mother. Her father drove
and the guide rode on a horse.
They had been on the road about a
week when one day they heard a
noise 1t sounded like a train. 1t
seemed to come nearer. but there was
not a train within a thousand miles.
Finally they saw cloud of dust in the
distance. The guide said 1t was
great herd of buffalo.
They ran and got on their horses and
left everything behind them.
The buffalo ran over the wagon and
mashed everything. They were taken
up by another wagon.

A DANGEROUS INDIAN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
NV grandmother used to tell me the
story over and over of how her grand
fathers boys used to play Indian.
John and Harry were the sons OF my
great-great- grandmother. They iiVeo
on a farm. Near the house was large
forest. A couples of streams OF water
ran out of the woods at this place.
One summer the boys built large
wigwam. They took some powder ana
two guns and went hunting. They
killed all they wanted to eat, because
the woods We're full of animals and
birds. They built a dam of stone and
clay so there was only one place where
the water could escape; there they
could catch fish.
One day they heard the dry sticks
cracking while they were out hunting.
They followed the sound and found an
Indian going toward the house. He
went to the boys mother and grabbed
her. Just at that moment bullet
struck him and he fell over. John had
shot him. LESLIE CLARK.

RODE HORSEBACK

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The story I am writing was told me
by my great-grandmother when she
wa 81 years old.
Eighty years ago, when I was little
girl of years, my parents decided to
move across the Rocky Mountains.
There were no trains or even buggies
then. We went on horseback. 1 had
a horse all my own and was not in the
least afraid. as 1 had ridden ever
since I could walk.
1T took us about week to get to
our destination. 1 was very sick on
the way and almost died, but l had to
keep on my horse, as there was no
other place for me. 1 got better as
we got down off the mountains, but I
was still very weak when we reached
our destination.
1--WE stopped at my cousins on the
way and she had spring chicken for
dinner AT home we never cooked the
feet of chicken, but my cousin did.
She thought that l would enjoy one on
my plate. When l began to eat just

with the baking and cleaning for a
whole week, for all of the relatives
were going to be there.
1t was very cold, and the snow was
piled high. About 8 o'clock the jingles
of sleigh bells were heard. Grand
mother looked out of the window, and
there was her Uncle Ned. auntie and
the children. After they were well
coined In the men went out to the
barn to look at the crops and cattle.
but the women stayed in the house and
talked. Grandmother and the other
children went upstairs to the nursery.
Ting g-a-ling! Ting-a-ling!! The chill
dren stopped playing and ran out on
the porch. Who do you suppose was
there? Why. it was her aunt and

RuTH's DIsoeEDIENcE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Ruth and Willie are two little
orphans who lived with their grand
parents.
One day the grandfather had to go
to a nearby city on business and he
told the children he would bring them
some pretty toys IL they would be good
and help grandmother during his alb
sence.
Their eyes danced with delight, and
a promise was cheerfully given For
the next few days Willie brought In
. skindling and Ruth wiped dishes with
out a cloud on their faces. The chill
dren were fond of strawberry short
cake. One day grandmother told them
If they would pick some wild berries
she would make them a shortcake for
their supper But she cautioned them
not to go into the vacant lot across the
road, for there was an old well over
there which she feared they would fall
into. They took their little baskets,
and with promise OF obedience they
started out. Before they had gathered
many Ruth had discovered some beau
tiful ones in the forbidden lot. All
Willie's pleadings could not keep her
out So intent was she on picking ber-
ries that she failed to notice the
dangerous we'll Suddenly Willie heard
a shril cry, and looking up could not
see his sister anywhere. He ran to the
vacant lot. jumped the fence, running
and calling his sisters name. A tiny
piece of her pink dress attracted his
attention. Running to her he found
her hanging over the edge of the old
we'll. Her little dress had caught on
stick and supported her until he
reached her. Catching her hand, he
pulled her out, exclaiming: What will
grandmother say, and grandfather will
be home tomorrow"
Grandfather's disappointment was
very great when he heard the sad
story OF the well.
The pretty toys were put away until
Ruth and Willie could learn to obey.
