Louise Pepper Writes In
terestingly of Her Prize;
''Hans Brinker'' or ''The
Silver Skates"

Dear Editor:
I owe you an apology for not writ
ing sooner The last two months have
been unusually busy ones. Besides
my school work, I help mamma with
the housework. I also have mis-
chievous baby brother to watch. /
want to thank you for the lovely
book, Hans Brinker' or "The Silver
Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge. I
want to tell the Juniors about it.
Hans and Gretel, who are sister and
brother livedLwith half-witted father
and poor mother in what other chill
dren called The Idiots Cottage in
Holland-the queerest country under
the sun. 1t should be called "Odd
Land" or Contrary Land for every
thing there is so different A large
part Of it is covered by the sea, and
tall, thick walls called dykes, are made
in order to prevent the water from COW
ering it entirely. These are just the
things for skating and the Hollanders
spend many happy hours on them.
They use these dykes for streets
skating in the winter and boating in
the summer. Much care is taken that
these dykes do not spring leak. Raft
Brinker, the father, had worked upon
the dykes for years. and one stormy
night was injured. He never worked
again-his mind was gone.
Dame Brinker earned scanty sup
port for her family by spinning, knit
ting and raising what vegetables she
could. Once she worked on board the
barges going up and down the canal,
but now that Hans was older he insist
ed upon doing that in her stead. Be
sides her husband being so helpless of
late required her constant care. Some
times she had great trouble in controll-
ing him. "Ah! children. he was so
good" she would sometimes say.
Don't you remember the father when
he was himself?"
Yes, mother Hans would answer,
81 remember quite WELL"
Nearly all the outside work was
done by Hans and Gretel Gretel hat
ed the sight of books, but was very
clever Hans was skilled carver and
made many things of polished wood.
Only in the winter could Hans and
Gretel go to school,
One day, as Gnetel and Hans were
skating on their wooden runners, cary
ed by Hans, Hilda befriended them by
giving them some money to buy some.
skates. Hans protested against it tout
of politeness) but Hilda made him
keep it.
Dr.. Baekman (the most famous sur
geon Of Holland) came to the Brinker
home. Dame Brinker consented that
Raft be operated on. The doctor did
SO and Raft was in his right mind
again.
One bright December morning
group Of merry boys and girls came
skating down the canal "Oh! Katin-
ka!" they cried to a lovely girl, Have
race-we want you to joint Finally
of Mrs. van Checks birthday, and a
prize-a beautiful pair Of skates was
to be given to the best skater. Soon
the day of the race came. The Brink

skates, and EN- sorry to say that
