away they went.
When they came down to the river
they found some other boys there.
They had boats and were having row
boat races. Jack had a boat called
"The Winner
Jack said, II will race with any
body here"
The boys sneered and said, what
can baby Jack dor"
Il will show you what | can do
said Jack.
They lined up and the order to
start was given and away they went.
To their surprise Jack took the lead
and kept it. The other boys tried to
pass him, but it was no use, for Jack
had won the race.
Then the boys said, LET us have a
swimming race"
Jack said he was Wiling. He was
ahead again, but as he looked back
when he reached the goal he saw that
one OF the boys had gotten the cramps
and was drowning. The other boys
started to scream and swim for shore,
but Jack stayed and Owed down, res
cuing the drowning boy.
The boy whom he rescued was the
largest of his playmates. After that
Jack was called the bravest OF his
playmates.
When they talked about it years
later they called Jack "the hero OF the
day" because he won the races and
rescued the drowning boy.

A Clue From the Klondike


A reptile in the throes of struggle

sometimes will attack itself and be-
ieve it is manning the enemy. This
what that reptiian band. The Sc
ret Seven, was doing. DR.. Zulph,
inspecting that there was traitor in
camp, was determined first to put
Strong out of the way and then to lay
hands on the one who was false. The
Great Master, brains Of the band.
was baking Zulph. He knew that
the murder Of William Montgomery
Strong, man OF wealth and, promi-
nencc. would shock the entire COM
nunity and sound the death knell Of
The Secret Seven.
Twice The Great Master had saved
Strong's life--hrst when he ordered
his East Indian servant to release
him when he was kidnapped after the
caskct OF tainted treasure had been
found in his hsme, and again when
the sable hood went to his sick bed.
What was back of this working at
cross purposes in the ranks OF the
hitherto invincible Secret Seyens
Therein lay part Of the skein of mys-
terry that surrounded the great secret
Of the all powerful organization. And
50 The Secret Seven was battling with
itself like frantic reptile. The
Great Master represented the brains

laws.

Paramount park is not SO very
pretty, but it is natural.
When we went there we took some
pictures Of the rabbits, but they
moved, so the picture was not so very
good. Then we went to see Mr.. Pea
cock and his wives. He took a good
picture, as he stood still longer, but
one thing was he wouldn't spread his
tail out.
We started to climb the bluffs. l
went ahead and of course had to get
into some mud, with my best shoes
on. too. The road wound in and out.
When we were pretty near the top
we sat down on bench. We took
our field glasses to look around. We
could see the other bluffs, also Oma-
ha across the river. We climbed till
we reached the top, then we started
on another road down again.
When we were half way down we
found great tree trunk that had been
followed inside. 1t was big enough
for a fountain.
When we came down we took pic
ture of Mr.. Bruin in his pen.

Bumper supposed this speech would
have a good effect and he waited Gag
erly for one of the wild rabbits to
respond. But they were quiet for so
long that he felt Respondent. Then,
to his surprise, big rabbit rose
nearby and turned to his companions.
Beware he said, ats trick Of
Mr.. Fox! We must run for it alto
gether"
Bumper didn't know just what the
speaker meant by this last sentence.
But he soon found out. There was a
rush and scramble in the bushes all
around him and then dozen or more
rabbits appeared. They came toward
the rock like an army closing in upon
the enemy, leaping over bushes or
crawling through the underbrush.
For a moment Bumper was star
tied. He had vision of being at
tackled on all sides by his country
cousins and driven ANONYMOUSLY from
the woods. But his anxiety was of
short duration. The rabbits reached
the side of the rock and disappeared
as if by magic.
Then Bumper understood. They
had made a simultaneous rush for
their burrow, knowing that this was
the safest place for them. When the
last rabbit had disappeared Bumper
hoped down and began looking for
the entrance.
Bumper searched on every side for
over an hour, but SO artfully con-
cealed was the entrance to the bur-
row that he was unsuccessful. There
was no noise under the rock--nothing
to indicate that there were rabbits
there.
Discouraged and down-hearted, he
was nearly ready to give up when he
happened to poke his head in the hol-
low end Of tree whose roots were

The Repentent Boy.

By Josephine Policy, Aged II, lo49
East Sixth Street, Fremont,

Once upon time there was bad
bow who mistreated the little girls
and boys who were smaller than he.
One day there was an old man go.
ing to the store to get some food
when he lost his pocketbook on the
sidewalk. A little girl going to school
saw him drop it and she started to
pick it up and give it to him when
the bad boy took it away from her
and ran off with it.
The little girl ran and told the old
man that he had lost his pocketbook,
that she had found it and the bad boy
had taken it away from her.
When the old man heard this he
said, 1T was all that l had to buy
food with for my wife and myself,
and she is sick in bed"
The little girl told the old man
where the little boy lived. He told
the bad boys mother and father, and
they said they would punish him.
When they found him, he had only
ten cents left and when he had found
the pocketbook there were two dol
lars in it.
His father gave the old man five
dollar bill
After that the bad boy was called
a good boy because he had given hi'
father fve-dollar bill as well as the
old man one. too.
He had taken the money out Of his
bank.

pinioned down by the huge rock. The
small heart of the trunk had decayed,
offering an entrance just large enough
for rabbit to squeeze through,
Bumper thought this would be a
safe place for him TO spend the night,
and he began crawling through. The
hole followed the trunk of the tree
downward for some distance. Then
suddenly it turned sharply to the
right.
At this point Bumper met an un-
expected challenge. A big, gray rab-
bit at the other end of the hollow
trunk thumped hard with his two hind
feet, and instantly there was an up
roar. Bumper had accidentally found
his way into the burrow through the
hollow tree trunk! "
Stop where you arep the rabbit
guarding the hole shouted. What
do you want in here?"
81 want to greet my cousins. If
you don't let me come in Mr.. Fox will
catch me after dark. l have no other
home
YOU'RE not a rabbitr' replied the
other. I'VE have no white cousins.
There're no white rabbits in the
world"
But I'm one" returned Bumper,
amused by the same cry that had been
made by the crow and birds.
There was silence inside, followed
by a buzz of many voices. Finally
weak, trembling voice said authorita-
lively:
admit him! 1t can't be MFR. Fox
in disguise, for he could never crawl
through that hole. Admit him SO !
can talk to him" sI
Evidently The speaker was one in
authority, for the other instantly
obeyed, and Bumper was allowed to
hop through the hole into the burrow.

Brave Sammy Jefferson.

By Marie Simon, Aged II Years, Vail,

Sammy Jefferson was a poor
washerwoman's son. He was such
a bright boy at school that when he
was IS years old a kind gentleman
gave his mother some money to send
him to boys school.
The boys in the school did not like
him because he was so poor. He
knew his lessons better than any
other boy in the school. They used
to tease him about his clothes because
they were SO ragged. One day
Sammy was sitting by the bank of
river reading about bravery when all
at once he heard the cry, Help
Help" and he saw that Robert
Williams had been out sailing in a
boat which had tipped over.
Robert did not know how to swim
at all. One big dive and Sammy was
in the water swimming after Robert.
Sammy got him and brought him over
to the shore again. Robert was very
thankful to Sammy for saving his
life. Afterwards all the boys were
kind to Sammy for showing his
bravery.

The Great Master INDUCED at the very
time Strong and Beverly were
trapped in ''the Dragons Dem" Sit
ting in his Hudson river mansion, he
picked up an old album which lay on
table near him and turned the pages,
which were filled with faded photo
graphs.
The turning Of these pages brought
turning back in the pages of men,
ory--a turning to years gone by when
he was prospector in the Klondike,
young man full OF health and ambi-
ton, who was seeking gold from the
pockets of nature.
In this retrospection he saw an
Alaskan dance hall. He was standing
at the bar. A girl, beautiful and
pathetic in her innocence, sat on
bench with bowed head, while the
other women caroused. Near her sat
Zulph, beside woman, and that
woman was Jane Warren, owner Of
the dance hall. She was the same
Jane Warren who served 'as house
keeper for old Thomas Clarke. Her
heart, in those Alaskan wilds, be-
longed to Zulph, She gave him all
and asked nothing in return, save
love, which was bestowed by Zulph
as hypocrite bcstows charity on
beggar.
Two miners entered the place and
halted to gaze in undisguised admira-
ton at the frightened dove of the
dance hall. The younger of them, who
was laden with gold, offered to bet the
other that he could win her affections.
His companion accepted the wager,
and then the younger man advanced
with confidence and seized the girl.
Realizing his purpose, she struggled
desperately, but he and his companion
only guffawed over her frantic efforts
to get free. Then the man who after
ward became known as The Great
Master stepped forward. He parted
the girl from her captors and faced
them angrily.
The purchaser flew at him in a tor
rent OF rage and received crashing
blow on the jaw that sent him sprawl
ing to the floor. He did not get up.
Zulph and Jane Warren ran forward
to demand an explanation just as
gray-haired woman burst into the
dance hall and seized the child.

chung to the newcomer.
