BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

SO off they started.
"Ouch" said voice. "Grt Off"
The children stopped and looked
around, but could see no one. So
off they started again.
"Ouch! said to get off," said the
same voice again.
Again the children stopped. But
still not a soul was to be seen.
"You'rc on my nose! Get Off" said
the voice, still more loudly.
"Who-who are you and where
are you?" asked Nick. I'VE don't

"I'm one of the cross roads" Said
the voice. ~ don't mean to be cross,

Nick. "WeIl go south"

Nancy. "We can't stay here"
