Trip to the Moon.
BY Helen Stowell. Aged II, Ord. Neb
Blue Side.

BY Helen Stowell. Aged II. Ord. Neb.
Blue Side.
Sometimes people get tired Of liv-
ing on the earth, Just as we did.
One day we got an airship and
started, taking lunch along with us.
When we got about ten miles up in
the air we became so cold that we
came down again to get some more
clothing and an oil stove to keep US
warm.
Then we started again, this time
going south. Since it was warmer,
everything went fine for two or three
days. The third day, "hen the moon
came up, we went directly for It, but
the oil stove exploded and burned up
the ship. We jumped out before it
burned us and lit on stack OF hay,
where two men were working.
We asked them where we were and
they said we were twenty miles from
Ord.
We asked them il they would take
US there and they said yes. so they
got their car and took us TO Ord.
There we bought another airship
and started again. This time every
thing went fine. We Travelled three
or four days. and nothing very UNI
usual happened, but on the fifth we
hit against something with an awful
thump. 1t was the moon. When the
moon mar heard the noise he came to
see what was the matter. When he
peeked out we saw he was made oil
green cheese, so we all came down
in a hurry.

Melrose jewels until she noticed the
necklace that the boy was wearing.
As she looked at its glittering bril-
liants, her eyes opened wide. She
slowly realized what she had STUN

asked where he got them.
Quite in:.ocently the man explained
how he had found them that morning
in his cart. When Helen offered TO
buy them from him for a $5-bill he
almost collapsed. The trade was hur-

amazing find was just starting with

THIRD EPISODE.

The keenest disappointment to
Helen OF that eventful night was that
Buck Masters and Arnold, after their
struggle with the police in the quar-
tiers of the gang should in the end es-
cape. To be told by Melrose that the
jewels she had recovered were spur
ious was minor trial. But she now
returned to the deserted house OF the
raiders, where she dismantled and re-
moved the whole overlapping APP
paratus they had feloniously installed.
When she came downstairs with this
in her handbag the special had gone
and she started for a street car. 1t
was already, however. o'clock in the
morning and she was obliged to wait
for one long time.
Webb. all night, had been carous-

Of the coat lapel of new acquaint-
ance he discovered underneath it a

to be caught in such company would
cost him his position, he called for
his overcoat and was about to leave,

place. The plain clothes men in the
room drew guns. Webb, hands up,

fusion jumped from the nearest win.
dow into a motorcar in the driveway
below. The chauffeur whirled him
away from the house, but the police
in second car gave chase.
Webb's driver, an expert, gave the
officers a long run and, doubling OF
them at the first opportunity, threw
them completely off the trail. I'm
fortunately the adroit chauffeur it
looking back to make sure he was nc
longer pursued, ran squarely into ar
early morning huckster's cart. Nc
one was hurt, but the wrecked
wagon obstructed an approaching

Burke, deeply chagrined, returned to
the Office.
At noon, Helen went out into the
sunshine to eat her lunch. About the
same time, the iceman's little boy was
bringing from home his fathers din
ner bucket and the Italian. choosing a
sunny spot on the platform sat down
20 enjoy his meal. Remembering the
Jewels for his children he now gave
them to the boy, The latter. playing
a moment with the new toys, espied
his friend, Helen Holmes, further
down the platform. In great excite
ment he told his father he was go
ing to give Helen a ring. The father
had no objection and the little fellow
ran to Helen, ring in hand. After
much urging she took it. thinking
only that poor families ought not to
waste their money at FIVE and ten
cent counters. Il never occurred TO

himself and saying nothing about her
part in the transaction. Webb, though
feeling pretty blue, was too much OF
man to take credit to himself tor
Helen's accidental good fortune. But
Helen would not listen to his protes-
,ations. She told him he must do as
she said, if for no other reason than
for his wife's sake.
II was this plea that at last over
came Webb's reluctance. Helen like
wise declared she would bring him
the overlapping apparatus. Unluck-
ilv, lust as she put the stolen coronet
into Webb's hands, Burke passing
along the platform caught sight of the
two and saw what was going on. Con-
fdent these jewels were the origi-
nails for which he had taken so des-
perate a chance, he fastened to tele-
phone and called up the pawnbroker:
ave found the jewels. Get some
roughnecks down to the station quick.
We may get them back"
The pawnbroker rushed out for a
posse. Among others he picked up
Buck Masters, and the party left for
the station. Webb, waiting for Helen
to return with the wire apparatus.
was nervously pacing the freight plat
form. The pawnbroker's worthless
were already trailing him. They
waited until he neared the open door
OF a boxcar and climbing inside
through the opposite door they flung
rope around Webs reck and be-
fore he could free himself dragged
him into the car. Pressed for time,
they had rot succeeded in finding the
package on him when a truck drove
up to unload the very car they were
in. The thugs dropped Webb into
a big empty box and disappeared. The
truckmen soon reached Webb. in the
box. upended him and deposited him
on the truck. Gagged and bound, he
could not attract their attention. but
to the amazement of the transfers.
Masters and his companions jumped
up to the drivers seat, while the 9TH
ers OF the gang manned the running
boards and prepared to steal the
| truck.
Helen, anxious over the outcome OF
her innocent plot to save her chief.
looking from the Office window saw
the bold move OF the raiders, She
reached the scene at the moment the
truck was about to be driven off BY
the conspirators. Stepping in front OF
it she ordered them to stop, but in
stead of obeying. Masters foot sunk
on the accelerator. the truck leapcd
ahead, knocked Helen down and the
heavy car passed ove7 her. Needless
of the result, Masters, putting on all
speed, made away. Helen. almost
miracuously unhurt scrambled to her
feet and haile,. a policeman. Press
ing an auto, he gave chase, but Helen
fearing he would not overtake the
thieves. sprang to yard engine and
summoning a bevy OF switchmen

went to bed. Helen returned to the
Office alone.
At the station the iceman was
sweeping out his cart when he dis
covered the package of jewelry that
Burke had unwittingly dropped into
it the night before. He was about
TO throw the gems away, believing
the glittering baubles worthless, when
he determined to give them to his
children, and putting them in his
pocket went on with his work.
Earlier in the night Frost, general
superintendent, had been called from
his bed by the dispatcher who first
reported the Melrose robbery. This
was bad enough. but he then COM
planned he could not locate Morton
Webb. Frost himself, very angry,
fastened to the dispatchers' office,
only to meet Melrose, whom he
found in furious temper over the
nights happenings. To have his train
held up with the threat of his party's
being blown up with dynamite was
enough to ruffle the governors tenn
per. But the loss of his wife's dia-
mond coronet and necklaces was too
much, Frost tried to calm him. He
was only partly appeased by the
promise that if he would come back
to headquarters that afternoon every
thing possible should be done in the
interval to recover the jewelry.
Masters and Arnold, escaping in the
fight the fate of of their followers.
who were captured. had sneaked
down into that dilapidated quarter OF
Mountain Springs known as China
town to hide. Burke, satisfied that
the pawnbroker, Lowenstein, had Sc
cured the Melrose plumber. walked
confidently over to his shop in the
morning to secure the spoil. When
Lowenstein declared no diamonds had
been dropped from the car window
to him there was an angry scene,
Burke insisted he had let the pack
age fall, as agreed, while Lowen-
stein paced the platform. The pawn.
broker excitedly denied Burke had
dropped even so much as remark in
his direction and explained how long
and patiently he had stood in position

The little girl went into a store
and told the clerk she wanted stick
of gum. The clerk gave her the gum
and she started to go out, when the
clerk asked her il she wasn't going to
pay him. She put her hand in her
pocketbook, then looked at the clerk
and said, II have lost my penny"
She began to cry and the clerk
kindly told her she could have the
stick of gum. Then the little girl
went out of the store feeling very
happy.

Sammy and the Ghost.

Halet Bell, Aged II Years, Genoa,
Neb. Blue Side.
Once upon time there was little
negro boy whose name was Sammy.
He was very fond of pancakes, but he
was very much afraid of ghosts. One
day his mother promised him that she
would make him some pancakes if he
would get up early the next morning
and go to the neighbours and buy
some lard in which to cook them.
Johnny Jones knew that Sammy
was afraid of ghosts and when he saw
Sammy go by he thought he would
have some fun. He dressed up in a
sheet and cut holes for the eyes, nose
and mouth. He then hid in the woods
till Sammy came back.
When Sammy was right by the side
Of him Johnny jumped out and yelled
at him. He turned and began to run,
Johnny right at his heels, yelling all
the time. When Sammy was running
his fastest he stepped in hole and
broke his leg. Johnny was very sorry
that he had tried to scare Sammy and
said he would not try to scare any,
body again.

A Runaway Experience.

By Dagmar Olsen, Aged IL Years,

Blue Side.
One night last week coming home
from school, was riding with our
neighbor's children, when all of a
sudden the pony became frightened
at some object and started to turn
around.
As there was small bank there
he could not turn around very easily,
so he stood upon his hind legs and
turned the buggy over and started
to run for town.
James, the Oldest boy, stopped him
after he had ran a little ways. 1t did
not take the rest OF JUS long to
