Arrive Fit for the Fray

When asked what he had to say con-
Corning the outcome Of the series and the

a second and then made the following re-
mark:
II have always made it q rule never TO
make a forecast on the result of ,he
worlds series. and don't think I'll break
that rule now. AS to my players, YOU can
see for yourself they are all in excellent
condition. which speaks for itself.

As Told by Aunt Gertie.
CHAPTER III,

After travelling very near the
tops of strange houses and very
close to the boughs of trees, the
FLYING TRUNK landed, safely,
in a country called Turkey.
The merchants son was awful
| ly surprised to find himself on
land again. But he was so pleased
with his trunk that he went right
away and hid 1t under dried
leaves in, the forest, so that no
one would take it. Then, busting
his carpet slippers and shaking
out his dressing gown, he started
to walk to the nearby town.
And what do you suppose -
why, everyone in the streets of
that town wore dressing gowns
and slippers, too. Wasn't that
queer?
Up at the end of the main
street the merchants son could
see big palace.
"Who lives there?" he asked
of the first person he met.
"Why, that is where the king
and queen live" he was told.
Then he learned that the king
and queen had a beautiful daugh-
ter whom they would never let
anyone see.
9TH see that princess, thought
the merchants son. "I'll fly up
to the roof of the castle in my
good Flying Trunk. That's the
way I'll do It,"
He went back to the wood; got
his trunk, pressed the lock, after
he had climbed in, and flew away
to the castle. He found the beau
tiful princess asleep on a couch.
He walked her and told her he
was a Turkish prophet. He told
her what lovely eyes she had,
what pearly teeth she had and
what beautiful hands she had.
She liked to hear all these nice
things about herself and so she
smiled on the merchants son
After he had talked with her for
quite time, he told her he would
like to marry her: She thought
it would be very wonderful to
marry prophet, so she said
Yes"
"But you must come and seq
my father and mother and get
them to say yes, too" she told
him.
"All right" replied the mer-
chants son. 81 will do that,
surely"
Now, my prophet, I will tell
you a little secret that may help
you win my hand" whispered the
princess. my father and mother

children, dear, have YOU ever
read the story of Little Women"
Did you ever hear of Louisa M.
Alcott?
If you haven't read it, want
you to read 1t soon. Miss Alcott
wrote it.
l am not going to tell you the
story, because that would spoil
your pleasure. But there are
two-or three things about 1t that

These are Meg, Beth, Amy and

I'm sure. 1 also want you to
know that Little Women" is the
home-life story of Miss AL

Beth was Elizabeth Alcott. Amy
