write little true story. One nigh
this week we were all asleep in bee
but Mama. When she was reading
she heard an awful wall that she
thought was a child. She went to the
front door and listened. She heard il
again but that time it seemed to be in
the other direction. She then started
to the back door when she heard a
sobbing in the shed. 1t frightened
Mama dreadfully, but she opened the
door and what do you think she found
there? A little five year old boy who
lives most a block away. He was
barefooted and in his nightie and had
gotten out of bed and came all the way
through the snow in his sleep, but
afterwards said he awoke when he
stepped on some coal in the shed.
Mama hardly knew what to make of
it, but put him in a warm blanket by
the fire and put the lantern out think
ing his folks would understand the
signal if looking for him, which they
did and came in few minutes to get
him. Wouldn't you think the snow
would have Weakened him? / would
like to see this in print because by
Grandpa and Grandma live near Coo
persville, Michigan, and take the Sun.

Clarence-What a dandy letter!
am pleased indeed to have such a fine
little story writer join our club. I
think true stories are the most inter-
esting of all as rule. Yes, | do
wonder that the snow didn't wake the
little boy, but l guess sleep-walkers
(somnabulists they are called) are
sound sleepers. am sure your
grandpa and grandma will be sur
prised as we'll as pleased to read your
letter. Please write again.
Dear Editor:-My brothers letter
did not get sent so l thought l would
write in it. Things never get done
right when mothers are sick and that
is why it didn't get sent-Mama is
sick But we are all glad now
that she is getting better. Thank
you for the pretty card you sent.
am in the third grade. like
my teacher very we'll; her name
is Miss Wheeler. | promised to tell
you about the sunset on the noun
tains; but of course, couldn't begin
to tell you how really grand it is. We
are right in the foot hills of the Cas-
cades. Northwest is Mt. Rainere and
little to the south is Mt. Adams,
which are always snow covered, sum-

in the Sound we had the Cascades on
the east and the Olympies on the
west with Mt. Baker to the far north
and Mt. Rainere south. We love TO
watch the sun set behind the snowy
mountains and in all the beautiful col
ors and varying shades blending on
the snow and sky. We used often TO
walk down to the bay to watch the
reflections in the water. 1t was won
derful to see. 1t is also a grand sight
to see the moon rising from behind
the snow covered mountains. I don't
know how to tell you how beautiful it
really is. l guess l didn't write my
name plain before as it was McLock-
lin in the paper with my letter. My
Missing Words for the contest are on
the other side of this paper. 1 Years
