The Bony Hand
BY CLAUD E. G. MILLER A continued story by a High School Author. Fat, who hardly ever got afraid, was white with terror, and so was I. He looked towards me and said nothing. I said nothing also. From a dark corner was pointing a bony hand. Back of it an old woman haggard and bony, became visible; then she turned invisible again, all except the bony hand. A certain poor nervous Mr. Iloobs was conducted to Mrs. Quigg's summer cottage instead of Mrs. Twigg's and when asked if he was Mr. Hobson, he said:, "Yes, I'm Hobb's son." Immediately all the summer boarders began huzzahing and waving flags, thinking he was the hero of Santiago. One thing led to another, until when Sophie, Mrs. Hobbs, finally came in searching for her poor husband, she fonnd him surrounded by women who were forcing him to eat onions and fish balls for his health. This was almost the climax, especially when the real Mr. Hobson walked in. All the parts were taken with the greatest spirit and life, and the girls deserve great credit for the production, especially when they had the responsibility of hostessship At the same time. In the short business meeting which was held, a permanent Wayne county organization was made, with Mrs. Horace Whiteside as Head Guardian and Miss Edith Haworth Secretary. Probably the next grand council will be held in Richmond at Christmas time.

Fat clinched my arm, for after a moment the bonv hand with its finger ' pointing straight at us, moved nearer. I scringed a little towards another door that I saw, trying to get as far as possible from tnat terrible thing. As . the hand drew nearer. moved towards a door but not the one at which we had come in (for the hallway seemed full of doors) and although I moved swiftlv. drag ging Fat after me, the hand moved etiu raster. It came nearer and nearer, until it touched my face. My heart was pounding like a boiler-maker's sledge. Fearing to turn to look where I was going, I felt for the door knob, but to my horror, the door was open. As we passed through the open door, the hand disappeared, but the door slammed shut Instantly. Making sure that the hand had not followed us, we looked around. The room perhaps was ten by twenty-six and bad a very high ceiling. All that was visible was two chairs and a small table. Standing as we were, shivering as though half frozen, we gradually became aware of water dripping. It sounded below us, like water trickling in a well. Fat and I looked at each other with a look that showed what we had been suffering. "Our troubles are over, I hope, and now lets sit." But just then the floor seemed to give way beneath us. We fell about ten feet, landing on a sort of Island surrounded by water, but we were not in the least hurt. Looking up we could see no place we had fallen through. It seemed to be a solid mass of flooring. Then we looked down, and were startled to see the water coming closer In on us. (To be Continued) Pittsfield. Mass., Is to have a woman police officer.
DOG KILLS KITTEN We had a little kitten which was very playful. He would come to meet me when I came home from school. One night we heard it meowing and went out and found it dead. The dogs had killed It. We all cried, and we never had anyone more playful. MABEL VEREGGE. Whitewater School
Vaile Scholar Describes Gat My aunt Maryhad a mother cat and three kittens. She gave one kitty to me. We were soon good friends. She would follow me every where I went. I gave her milk to drink, and meat to eat. We played together and I liked to watch her sneak at the birds and the grasshoppers. Sometimes she would watch our canary bird for a long time. Whenever I Avent away she took me a piece, and met me when I came back again. One night she followed me to South Fifth and C street and got lost.- I have not seen her since. I miss her very much, and I know she is lonesome too. I hope she will soon come back again. RAYMOND LUBY, 'Vaile School Boy Scouts Take Hike Along Creek BY EARL KEISKER Bright and early Sunday morning ten boys met at rmeenin ana Main street to take a hike. We started under the command of T. Jessup, and were joined on the way by several other boys. After hiking about three miles we came to our destination. We followed up a small creek and came to a fine place to camp. We made our fire places and at it was too early to eat a number of the boys went out on an exploring trip. We climbed up a steep hill or cliff and upon reaching the top had a most magnificent view of the surrounding country. About 10 o'clock, Homer Meyers and myself went up to the reservoir road and met Bill Eggemeyer on a bicycle, who said that Mr. Kinley and 6 other scouts were coming up in the rear. Then I borrowed Bill's wheel and rode back a piece where I met the other scouts. After Mr. Kinley arrived and after his boys had dinner a few of the boys passed their trailing test. Sidney Watt passed his fire building test, while I passed my compass test. Harold Ruble passed his signaling test later. At about 5 o'clock we went home feeling that we had spent a very interesting day. Boys Bake Pie When the 6 A boys went to the cooking room, Miss Morgan told us we were going to make Dutch Ap pie pie. She said, "This is Mr. Ramsey's favorite pie." When we had got done we went up stairs and Miss Salter said it would be nice to give him one. HERBERT HIATT, Whitewater School And then, Herbert, aren't you going to tell us the effects of that pie on poor Mr. Ramsey? We'd like to know, ever so much. Aunt M. Warner School Monday, September 25, we elected the Good Government League members. We have the Good Government League to make the rules for the play grounds. The children nominated several boys and girls and Miss Sanderson put their names on the board. Then we had a secret voting. The votes were collected and Miss Sanderson kept count of them. The ones that got the most votes were Vera Kinert and Herbert Martin. They both were new to the building and they came from Starr school. Warner school is the only school that has a Good Government League. We have the 5A and 6B in our room and both of the members were in the lower class. We were pleased with the members.

SOCIETY NEWS FOR CHILDREN
At the Camp Fire meeting of Miss Reese's girls four of the former Blue Birds were initiated as real Camp Fire Girls last Thursday. The initiation lasted a full hour, and all sorts of Indian stunts were practiced on the girls. Two more will be taken in at the next meeting, while the new members of this week are Janice Meredith, Martha Holcomb, Marion Hill and Conda Haworth. Master Everett Lemon, Jr. with his father and mother left Friday noon to visit Cowells at Flint, Michigan. Although the Camp Fire Girls in Miss Kaufman's group intended to sew at their meeting last Thursday afternoon, the afternoon was too inviting and they took a walk instead. On the way the girls saw a ginko tree and were so taken with the peculiar leaves that they each kept one to copy on their ceremonial costumes as a reminder of the walk. The meeting for next week will be a camp supper out by Morton lake. At the meeting of the Girls' club of the North End Mission this afternoon the girls went on an afternoon walk taking their lunches with them. The meeting for next week will be a sewing circle, when the girls will bring embroidery and crocheting. The girls are planning to become Blue Birds as soon as possible, since they are too young to be real Camp Fire Girls. The meeting of the Wahpikameki Camp for this week will be held at the home of Miss Helen Ball, and the time will be spent in sewing. St. Mary's School Miss Esther Cayle, who has been ill for several months was warmly welcomed back to school by all her classmates.
