Madeline HOfstetter-The
Pet Fawn.

Dear Juniors:
This is the first time have ever
written so | thought | would write
write about the pet fawn.
Once upon time in land far away
there lived a king and he had two
children. girl and boy.
One day their aunt sent them a pet
fawn The girl and boy had to feed
it on a bottle. They thought there
was no greater pet than the fawn
One day as hunter came by the
palace he saw the fawn. thinking it
was a wild fawn shot it. The children
were standing on the porch said Tets
go down and see il the fawn had
enough to eat. When they got down
there they saw the fawn was gone.
They went i'll the palace yard and
found the fawn with an arrow in his
side The boy said, IF knew who
killed out pet would kill theirs-boo
hoo, boohoo.''
The girl said. Lets take it to
father and tell him to bury it, boohoo."
So they took it to their father and
told him to bury it. So he buried it
for them.
AS my letter is getting long I will
close.

Hannah Nil!er-The Lost
Child.


One time there was a little girl. I
years Of age Her name was Dorothy
Airline One hot summer day her
father said to Dorothy | want you to
brink papa a drink Her father was
blowing corn. So about 2:3O
Dorothy put on her little snnbonnet
and took little bucket of fresh
water and started down where she
thought her father was working.
When she got down there she started
down one corn row. When she got
most to the end of the row she went
farther over into the corn field She
was small and got very tired, so she
sat down TO rest. When she had rest
ed little while she got up and start
ed to the house When she got to
the edge of the cornfeld she thought
about her little pail. She went back
to look for it. PERHAPS she passed it
good many times. but was in such
hurry she did not notice ii. Finally
she lay down and cried herself to
sleep. 1t was almost dark when her
father came in from the field. When
he heard that Dot was not to be found
he went straight to the cornfield
where she was After hunting long
time he found her asleep. He ricked
her up and carried her to the house
and laid her down on her bed. She
did not wake till the next morning.
