THE COURIER TALKS.

Nov that we're all on the horse,'

adventurers, Il will explain every
thing. We all know in the House OF
Secrets. and all who live in these
parts, that you, the boy, and you, the
girl, are seeking adventures and that
you're on your way to the House of
Secrets.
There you are going to learn the
secret of leadership and success and
power.
You're going to know how you, as
boy, can become, in time, leader
of men, fine in every way. And you're
going to have your question answered.
girl, of how to become beautiful and
loved and a leader among women
You'll find all that out in the House
of Secrets, and on your way to the
House you are going through with
many adventures which are all well
worth having, I'm sure you'll admit"
eve do said the boy, "even if
some of them are a bit awful at
times. Last night when we met those
other boys and girls and we all started
to quarrel and fight about who should
lead-and then we all got lost and
no one could find each other and the
girl and l were separated and the
night was long and dark and fearful

both along. The girl is a little sur
prised that 1 didn't leave her behind,
for she chose the wrong road a second
time, and the boy chose the right one.
"Well, do you remember, some time
back in your adventures, how you
came across the good little child of
the story books and the bad little
child? They both lived in a vine
covered house and they couldn't get
free, they were so entangled in vines,
truth about them and because no one
would say that they were really a
mixture of bad and good and would
be quite nice and get to learn a lot
of things if only they were set free
from the vines of untruth.
''You remember, 1 see. I am GER

in the same way. They wouldn't let

at odds last night. You all fought for

ages. This record may be for jumping
