the afr. On the third day they
sighted America, and in . little
while were over the, land.
They were seen from the ground,
and man in an airpane gave
chase to them. It was Q strange
sight--these two people ON horse
back, galloping across the clouds
with a large basket flying in the
wind behind them. and the airman
sped after them, gaining on them
all the time.
The man on the horse began to
fear that the airplane would over.
take him and force him to stop.
The airplane was just . little way
off when he thought Of something.
He leaned over and pushed the
pin in the left ear. Now. they
were invisible and the airman lost
them.
They were passing over great
plain and below them they could
see trees, houses, and other indica-
tons of farms.
The man said, Lets 60 down
here; believe l see where there
is a farm for SALE"
The horse descended, unseen
from below, before doorstep. A
young man was on the porch when
they stopped before him, but they
were invisible until they touched
the ground. Then, suddenly, the
man stared. for out of space there
came two people and basket.
The man introduced himself to the
young farmer, and found that the
young man had just bought the
farm the day before and was liv.
ing On it by himself. They offered
to buy the farm in trade for a won
derful horse. After explaining its
properties to him, the farmer
thought awhile and finally agreed
to trade in the morning. He let
the Englishman and his wife stay
in the barn that night, and in the
morning the trade was made. The
young man mounted the horse and
rode away, well pleased with the
exchange, while l have lived here
with Grandmother for forty years
now.

A few minutes after the children

commotion In the room where the

and was talking excitingly. As us
ual. the talk was In Italian, 80 the
children couldn't make out what
was the excitement. --
The men talked rapidly for many
minutes. Occasionally the little old
woman would try to say some
thing but the men would growl 1t
her and she would keep quiet for
Z while.
Finally everyone was quiet ex-

for Q long time, just - though he
was laying some plan, and then the

reminded him that it was time to
go to dinner. The horse shot up
into the air and galloped over the
clouds for a short time with the
man on it's back. Then the horse
dropped suddenly to the earth and
stopped before his very door step

table for dinner. Fearing that his
wife would bother the horse he
pressed the plug in the left ear.

Soon the other men came down

they were talking excitedly. They
said a man got on a statue of a
horse and it took him to the clouds
and galloped away with him. They
went to tell his wife about it and
found the man himself there.
They questioned him and when
he refused to tell them they threat
ened to tell everyone: then he
would have to leave. He said all
right, 1t just suited him, and they
left.
AS soon as it got dark. he told
his wife to pack all their clothes,
and food enough for three days
into large basket. Then they
went into the back yard and he
called the horse. It appeared and
frightened his wife, but he soon
told her about 1t. They tied the
basket to the horses tail and then
got on the horse. The man twisted
the plug and away they went.

Once there was a little girl
whose name was Francis. She
was very rich. Across the street
lived q little girl whose name was
Jane. It was near Christmas, and
Francis was going to have lots of
pretty toys and dolls while Jane
was going to get nothing. Francis
was very kind. It was now the day
before Christmas. Francis went
up town and stayed until seven
o'clock and she phoned her mother
and told her to come up in the auto.
When her mother came she saw
all the packages. She asked what
she was going to do with them. She
was going to invite Jane over for
Christmas. So when Jane and her
mother came over she showed
them all the presents and ate their
dinner and lived happy for ever in
Francis house.

Grace and Shep

Once there was a little girl and
her dog who lived in the woods by
them selves. The girls name was
Grace and the dogs name was
Shep. The little girls mother and
father both had died and she and
her little dog had lived in the woods
by themselves.
Grace could cook and keep her
house clean and the dog would be
her guard and run errands for her.
One day the little girl went to the
woods to gather berries, and while
she was picking the berries, she
became very sleepy and went to
sleep. When she awoke it was
very dark, and she called for her
dog to come, but he did not come
She wandered on and on in the
dark woods and then she gave
another cry for help, and at this
time the dog Shep heard her cries
and came running toward her.
They were very glad to see each
other and they travelled on till
they came to a house. The little
girl knocked at the door, and was
invited in and the good fairy who
lived there told her to wish three
wishes, which she wished for a
good father and mother, home and
happiness, and the wishes were
all granted, and to be sure this was
a happy little girl, and the little
dog had the best Of care, and they
lived happy ever after.

There was once king, named
Bulu, who had three daughters.
One day he called the youngest to
him and said to her, "Albuna, do
you love me or not?"
She answered, Father, I love
you as you love your gold!"
Good, my child" said he.
Then he called the second, and
asked her, do you love me.
Evasa?"
She said, Father, I love you as
you love your diamonds!" ~
Good, my child" said he.
Then he called his oldest daugh-
ter. Hasa, and asked her.
Father, l love you as you lovo
your salt"
Away" cried the King, you are
no daughter OF mine!"
So Hasa wandered through the
wide world, until she came at last
to the house Of King Bixi. She
went in and asked, will you take
me into your service"
What can you do?" they asked
her.
Il will wash the pots and pans,"
said she.
Very WE'LL" they replied; so she
washed the dishes and learned
cooking, until she became a very
good cook.-M. e. H. Ito be con-

One Sunday afternoon when my
little grandson asked for a story, !
thought that it would be pleasant
change from the usual fairy story
for me to tell the story Of how l, an
Englishman, came to live on this
little farm here in America. So
II began with "Once upon a time"
this story which l shall now tell
you.
There were some men in England
excavating a cellar for a large
house. One of the men struck
something that rang like metal. He
called to the others and soon they
unearthed a beautiful statue of a
horse with bride and saddle on.
They scraped tn. dirt off and,
after much exertion had been ex-
pended, got it on the road.
1t was a life sized statue Of a
splendid horse, "Equirius" was
written across the bride. The
reins lay upon a splendid saddle
all ready, It seemed. for a rider.
A man started to clean the dirt
out of the left ear. Suddenly the
thing vanished. The men stood
agasp.
Where on earth do you suppose
Equiruis u.s." exclaimed one work
man. He no sooner had the word
out of his mouth than there it stood
before him. This time he looked
into the ear and found q little
round pin. He showed it to them
and pressed it and it disappeared
again. Then he called It and It
appeared.
They looked into the other ear
and found another plug. They
could not quite reach It from the
ground, 80 one Of the men got onto
its back and found that this plug
turned. Just - the man turned

letter to Santa to bring me wagon
that's red. For its time for the
letter to 60. oh how l know, Dear
