MY EXPERIENCE
IN A ROW BOAT
BY EMMA KELLY,
FIELD SCHOOL

~ URING my summer vacation |
visited my cousin In the coun-
try. The house was not far
from a small lake where We spent
much OF our time fishing and playing.
One day we discovered an old row
boat that had washed upon the shore.
We jumped in and using a long
branch as an oar, we pushed out in
to the lake. When We were quite a
distance from the shore the boat be-
gan to fill rapidly and We became
frightened. There was no current and
the lake was very smooth. so We
drifted for some time Soon the boat
was almost full of water and we de-
;cided the best thing to do would be
to wade back, as the lake was not
very deep. So We jumped In and got
back to shore We were wet. tired
and hungry when We returned to the
house and we did not visit the lake
again for many days We all decided
that we would never go ont In leaky
boat again.

She was proud, and thought herself
Il little better than anyone else.
The other two, Alice, aged IA, ana
Geraldine, 10, were not so naughty
as their friend, Eleanor. Alice, who
had once been poor herself, knew
how to sympathize with those poorer
than herself. and devoted her time In
doing things to make them happy.
They did not notice the girl who
walked behind them. She was fair
and very beautiful. Her dress. though
neat and clean, was patched In many
places and her shoes looked as II
they had seen better days. Size was
looking at the girls ahead OF her visit
fully, wishing she were with them.
She was the daughter OF poor
widow living on the outskirts or the
city. Her father had been dead many
years. and she and her mother lived
alone. Her mother did the washing
for Mrs. Dane. Eleanor's mother.
Dorothy, for this was her name,
had started TO school In the middle OF
the term and had already caught up
with Eleanor
Eleanor thought II disgrace to
have such a poor girl get ahead OF
her.
On Dorothy's second day Of school
she had attempted TO walk home with
Eleanor who showed her plainly that
she did not want her. At recess
when at school the girls would walk
away, leaving Dorothy alone. At noon
and night, Eleanor would go home
surrounded by girls, while poor
Dorothy would walk behind.
A few days passed and as Eleanor
and her friends were walking along
the street the conversation drifted TO
rings. Eleanor had just received

paper she saw an article about the

Eleanor wondered what Dorothy
could be doing there and her heart
began TO beat violently.
Eleanor waited, but when she saw
Dorothy take the ring out Of her
pocket, she uttered cry. No one
could have been more grateful than
Eleanor Dane was at that minute.
