Hello again, Juniors:
Here | am back again at the same
desk in the same office and glad
to greet you once more
| saw picture the other day of
two mules that were tied together.
One looked to one side of him and
saw big bucket of good feed. The
other one looked to the other side
ane saw also a bucket of feed.
Each one started to get the bucket
that he saw, but alas the buckets
were in opposite directions and
they nearly pulled each others
necks off and did not get anything
after all. Then they stood still
and seemed to be thinking it over
If mules really can think-and then
they decided to go together to one
bucket and eat the feed and then
go together to the other bucket and
eat that. That plan worked very
well and they got all Of the feed
and did not have to lose even a
little bit.
| thought of these mules again
when | saw in a paper that 81 pro-
fessOrs and directors of the great
Oxford university of Oxford, Eng
land, had sent letters to professors
in Germany and Austria, saying
that they hoped that soon the teach
ers and professors of these two
countries would be friendly to
each other. These great teachers
have realized that it is a happier

Then she saw who it was. Brave
as she was, she shuddered, for they
were two tall frightfully looking
skeletons with every bone standing
out distinctly in the wan moonlight
the grinning skulls and bony
fingers tied her feet and hands;
then the tallest said, in a hollow
voice:
Have you brought any one
along?'
She shook her head Echo saw
one skeleton disappear around the
house, returning with white mus
lin loose dress with wide flowing
sleeves and round hole for the
neck. This they put on Echo. I'M
tieing her hand and re-tieing in
front Then the neck was drawn
up by a cord around her throat and
tied.
Again the skeletons disappeared
around the house, this time return
ing with a white coffin lined with
white satin, and with four handles
on each side for the bearers. In
this they put Echo. Then the short
er skeleton put white lily in
Echo's tied hands, then each
whistled queer whistle and six
equally horrible skeletons came
from the dark forest and each took
a handle of the white coffin silent
ly and the strange ghostly process
sion moved slowly away. The road
they took was narrow and rocky
and Echo was jostIed about. She
tried to disengage the gag but to
no avail.
Presently theh procession stop
ped and Echo felt herself being
lifted upward then the casket rest
ed slightly higher than the ground
on something and the horrible pail
bearers filed away Then Echo
saw it was a grave yard where they
had taken her and the coffin she
occupied rested on a marble tomb
stone and the eight skeletons each
one occupied a tombstone it was
horrible and chils ran over Echo
The skeletons were discussing
some seemingly important theme
by their low voices and waving of
honey fingers, presently two went
away and returned with a shovel
and spade. Echo was mystified at
this; what now? The skeletons
seemed to answer the question by
to dig into the earth.
Then it rushed over Echo that they
were going to bury her alive. All
was silent but the diggers as the
dirt was thrown out the square
space grew deeper Echo tried to
scream but the gag muffled it.
Then when it was deep enough to
please them the silent horrible pail |

THE SKELETONS IN
The BLACK FOREST

Echo Wellington was a modern
American girl of eighteen and very
pretty, with glossy blue black hair,
big velvet black eyes and of Slight,
yet tall stature, she had been en-
gagged to handsome, grey eyed,
light haired Bob Hope, but a quar-
rel over another girl has caused
Echo to break the engagement, al
though they still cared for each
other, but were too proud to let 1t
be known to each other.
1t was the thrty-first of October,
or, rather, Halloween night, that
Echo was going to a Halloween
party at Helen loves house. She
wore a costume of an Italian peas
ant woman and black mask. She
enjoyed the evening, and as she
was beginning to dance the last
dance with a Spanish pirate, a
knight walked up to Echo, and ex-
tended a folded paper to her and
walked away into the crowd of
merry-makers. She hurriedly open
ed the paper and read in queer,
crooked, misspelled writing, this:
deer lady
if ur knot afraid 2 cum buy
yourself after the, dance the
small wife house inn black for
rest will lern sumething that
u wish 2 no but cum buy yur
self. YUR FRIENDS.
EchO's face was a puzzle, but
hastily thrusting the note in the
peasant bodice 0 fthe costume she
wore, she went on with the last
dance. AT last all the guests had
said goodbye and Echo, wrapped
closely in a heavy coat, requested
the chauffeur to drive her to Black
Forest for she was a brave woman
and thought maybe she could get
word of Bob who she had not seen
nor had any one else since Echo
broke their engagement, but she
was too proud to find his where
abOuts.
Leaving the car at the edge of
Black Forest, she picked her way to
the well known white house, sup
posedly haunted, in the heart of the
forest. With beating heart, she
pushed open the door of the white
house and walked in, first playing
her search light over the interior.
The house was not occupied. Was
it all joke to test her courage by
some of her girl friends? she asked
herself.
Just then something caught and
pinnioned her arms behind her.
then a handkerchief was thrust
over her mouth to stifle her cries. |

Thought for Today

To flicker feebly or to soar-a star;
1t lies with thee-thy choice is

To hit the ties or drive thy motor
