on a shelf.
One day not long after my sister
wanted a hatpin and of course went
directly to the shelf, expecting to get
one, but they were gone. She asked
mamma if she had moved them, but
mamma said she hadn't moved them
and that they must be there. She
looked for them and when not finding
them said, 'Helen, have you moved

Valuable Cow Disappears
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The most mysterious disappearance
l know of was that of our little Jersey
Holstein COW. No one knew where she
had disappeared to or anything about
her. Now the search commenced. We
searched the mountains through and
looked everywhere but the right place.
The farm consisted of 1850 acres, so
it was no small task to ride over all
of it and look in every thicket and
gully or canyon; under high bridges
, and overhanging banks of streams of
water. Every place where an animal
could possibly hide was searched.
At first my father and Uncle John
sent out the hired men, but after they
had looked everywhere they went them
selves. Then the neighbors Joined US
in the search. No trace of her could
be found. There was no break in the
fence for her to get out, so her disap-
pearance was a great mystery. If one
loses anything like a knife or hand
kerchief one can form some theory as
to it's being covered by leaves, grass or
something, but when it comes to any
thing as large as a COW it is hard 10
know what to think.
More than week passed by and we
began to think that our COW had been
taken by drovers passing by along the
road with a band of cattle, for some-
times that did happen.
About this time grandma said: 1--WE
are not getting half the eggs we should.
Let someone go up in the hay barns
and see if the hens have not stolen
their nests.'
When we had got up in the haymow,
away at the far side of the long slant
ing roof, away down in a corner was
the dear little COW, dead; but her little
calf was alive, and we succeeded in
raising it "by hand" as Pip's sister,
Mrs. Joe Gargery, raised him. The
COW had got up into the haymow by
walking Up the long santing incline
used for storing hay up in the loft, and
then got down in a deep corner, where
she could not get out. The calf grew
to be a valuable COW.

cHINAMAN REMEMBERS
PROMISE TO PATRON
(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
m HIS is the second time / have tried
to write story for the Junior.
a Tomorrow was to be Mays
birthday anniversary. Her mother had
been assured by her faithful Chinaman,
John, that he would bring her the best
of fruits Saturday. So she paid him
in advance When Saturday came no
John appeared. Mrs. Doe was rather
poor and could not afford to buy more
fruit.
HE always was so faithful" she
sighed. Now May cannot have her
party
May was very much disappointed; so
were her friends. Mrs. Doe hunted all
over the city, but no John was there.
Where could he be? every one Won
dered.
One day Mr.. Doe came home sadly
He had been out of work for couple
of months and had no money.
What shall we do?" sighed the un-
happy mother There's the postman,
May-run!"
May ran out and returned with a
small box. Upon opening it what
should they see but three checks for
$100 each and note which read:
me Loidy: Me go find China lady
wife. Me takee her back China. Me
floget fuit; me solly. Send money. Me
rich; lib velly fine. JOHN.
Mrs. Doe was very happy, as the
money provided for them until Mr. Doe
got work again. MAYO HAMLIN.

Capturing Prince

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Prince was the best horse in the
county of Pembroke. He was a tall
we'll fed chestnut. One day as his
young master carefully put him in his
stable Prince saw a head peeping over
the stable door. Prince whinnied but
his master did not know what he whin-
MED about and did not mind it much.
But the next morning he had reason
to think of what happened.
AS he went out to feed his horse Fred
found to his surprise that Prince was
gone He began looking around and
saw tracks of two men and a horse.
Fred's father was not there so Fred
had to wait until his father came home,
which would not be until noon of that
day. When his father got home that
day he said he would have to get the
neighbors and have a general horse
hunt.
That night Fred went around to the
neighbors and told them about his
horse. One old man shook his head
and told Fred that the old gang of
horse thieves had returned and if they
were not wiped out there would be
some trouble about the horses.
That evening Fred followed a certain
path he knew and gave peculiar
whistle. He heard his horse whinny.
He was satisfied he had heard enough.
Back he went to his father and told

Dear Aunt Laurie:
All of King Ericson's kingdom was
in an uproar.
King Ericson's two-year-old son had
mysteriously disappeared.
The nurse, three nights previous, had
put him in his crib, and in the morn
ing when she awoke. the crib was
empty.
The queen was hysterical and the
king went about with very sad faca.
Posses were securing the country,
but no trace of the lost child could be
found.
The prime minister told the king of
an old man, who was very wise, living
three miles from the palace. He could
give his majesty good advice.
The king summoned the old man to
him, and asked what he thought would
be the wisest thing to do.
The old man gave him a cloak and
said: "An old witch lives in a cave
in yOnder mountains" pointing toward
the mountains, land your child is in
her possession. This witch has very
keen eyes and ears. She can hear the
slightest sound within a mile, and
she can see through walls and houses,
and she can see in the dark as well as
in the broad daylight. This cloak must
be thrown over your shoulders and you
will be invisible. You are the only
person who can succeed in this mis-
sion. Go Immediately; because, if you
don't, you may be too late She may
have hidden the child now''
The old man departed, and an hour
later the king, dressed in plain clothes,
with the cloak over his arm, was on
his way to the mountains.
He reached there at dusk, and not
knowing how near the witch's cave
was, he threw the cloak over his
shoulders and became invisible.
Suddenly he rounded a sharp chrve,
and there, by the side of the fire,
sat the old witch. He drew back, and
stepped on twig, which snapped.
The witch jumped to her feet and
seized club.
The king knew that he could not be
seen, and so he erept nearer.
The witch was now standing club in
hand, at the entrance to the cave.
The king had almost reached the
cave; indeed, he was within five feet
of the witch, when he stepped on an
other twig. This was too much, and
the old witch began to swing her club,
and she almost hit King Ericsson.
He knew that as long as she was
standing there there was no hope of
ever gaining the inside of the cave.
A small jug of whisky stood near the
fire, and he dropped some sleeping
powder into it and sat down to wait.
But the witch did not leave her post.
She stood there until morning, and the
king grew tired, and so he crept past
the witch. His cloak almost touched
her hand.
There on the ground at his feet lay
his child. He picked it up and hid
it under his cloak.
He struck the witch blow which
killed her.
He then went home and every one
rejoiced. The child was petted and
loved ever after.
The old man who owned the cloak
was made the kings counselor.

MANAGES TO
EAT EGGS FROM NEST
(Honorable Mention)

AIlOnOi "CnAtOilJ
Dear Aunt Laurie:
Il" HEN we were on the farm we
w kept about three hundred chick
ems.
barn where the chickens liked to lay
their eggs better than any other nest
on the farm. These nests were above
the stall where we fed the horses.
One day when we went to gather the
eggs there We're not as many as usual.
The next night there were none at all
in that nest. We saw different hens
on the nest during the day.
This went on for about week. One
afternoon when the children were play
ing in the barn they saw large snake
crawl up post into the nest.
They called the rest of us and we
watched it. There were no eggs in the
nest except glass nest egg. The
snake tried to swallow it.
When we had watched the snake
about a half an hour it managed to
swallow the egg. Just as it had swal-
lowed the egg papa came home from
the field. He took a hoe and killed it.
The snake was about five feet long.
We cut the snake in two and got the
glass egg which it had swallowed.
We concluded that the snake had
eaten all of the eggs which had dis
