Dorothy and Davie Dear began,
about the first of June, to think
about what they called GAMMA

At least, Dorothy began to think
about them. Davies thoughts
were chiefly about the last day of
school.
How long is it pow?' he would
ask every morning at the break
fast table, until father Dear
groaned when he heard the ques-
ton. You see, the Dear family in
tended to move to the shore for the
summer the day after school closed.
That is why Davie was so anxious.
IF you just keep thinking about
going away you won't be pro-
noted" said Dorothy, severely,

They were sitting on the ground
under the apple tree by the well.
Davie scrooched his heel down in
the soft earth, then removed it to
see how large a hole he had made.
Then what'll you do?' repeated
Dorothy.

1.-THE Prize Story"
vol. l., No. i22.

"a letter for you, Miss Robson
said the clerk in the school Office.
ooh! thank you, Miss Dean" an
swered May Robson, as she took the
letter.
May attended boarding school and
was in the graduating class. She
went to her room to read her letter.
1t was from her mother. 1t ran:
Dear May:
1t grieves me to tell you that faith
er's business has failed. 1t is all we
can do to keep you in school. We
will not be able l am sorry to say, to
supply you with money for your
graduation.
Dear May. do not take it to heart.
Everything outside of that is alright.
We must be thankful that we are
well. All send you our love,
MOTHER.
May sat with the letter in her lap.
Her mind was at home with her par
ents. She cried but not because she
would not have the money, but to
think in what position her parents
were in.
Sitting here and crying won't help
me much" she unused. While sitting
| in her room thinking of plan to
| make money, she heard a knock at
| the door. Come in" she said.
The door opened and Grace Camp
| came in. Come out May, the girls
| want you. Why, May, have you been
| crying? What is the trouble?"
| May handed her the letter, for
Grace was her most intimate friend.
She read the letter and looked sad.
Her face frightened as she said:
May, you know that daddy sends
| me a good deal of money, and l will
lend you all you need"
Dear Grace. | cannot take your
money" and her eyes filled with
| tears.
Yes, May. you need it, and 1 shall
not miss it,
i "Well, then, Grace, let me think it
over. | will tell you tomorrow.
"All right, May, but | wish you
won't refuse my offer. Dress up and
we will go out to the girls"
That night May was reading a
magazine and her eye met this adver-
tisement:

"Why not write story for the
magazine and win the money!" she
spoke to herself THAT will be great
fun, but still you must not count
your chickens before they are

though May went to sleep. In the
morning she was up bright and early
and started on her story before going
to Sthe classroom.
During the lunch hour Grace asked
May If she had made up her mind

Continued from yesterday
1t was agreed that Tommy should
receive forty dollars a month and
live with his employer, who was to
board him free, an arrangement that
brought them into intimate relations
which resulted in warm mutual
friendship.
Until Tommy had come to the Tus-
kets, Mr.. Hopes life had been lonely
and cheerless; but now II was a joy
to him to see frank, boyish face
smiling across the table at meal
times and hear peals of light hearted
laughter echoing through the house.
And the boy esteemed Mr.. Hope for
his generosity and uprightness.
Moreover, there was a subtle appeal
about his employer which he could
not explain. 1t seemed to Tommy
that he had met "the man who had
lost himself" somewhere before, and
that there had been an intimate re-
lationShip between them.
What could the mystery be?
That Mark Shelby, who was living
with them, was conscious of il was
apparent from casual remark he let

"An right, May, but | wish you
would accept It," answered Grace.
May finished her story and sent 1t
in to the company. The story APP
neared three weeks later. On the
front cover appeared in large letters:

AS May was in her room studying
her lesson, the door opened and the
room was filled with girls. oh!
May, so this is your SURPRISE and
she held up the magazine This is
your story, Mayo spoke Grace, in
great excitement.
Il never knew you wrote Stories
remarked another girl.
May was as much surprised as they,
