Captain Saves His Mistress There was a little girl named Betty. Betty was five years old. Here was her mamma ill. At last Betty's mother died. She went to live with her aunt, a mean woman. She took all of Betty's nice clothes away. And putting old clothes on her, she put her out under the bis; tree. Her big dog, Captain, came out too. Her aunt gave her a glasfi of milk. She beat the dog black and blue. She would not give Captain anything to eat. So Betty gave her milk to her dear dog. One day Captain took Betty by th dress and pulled her away over rivers and rocks till he came to Betty's father. Ho took her in his arms and kissed her. She told him that her mother was dead, and how her aunt had treated her. She told him how Captain had got her there. The man taking a bag gave Betty and Captain something to eat. He took them home and lived happy every after. Nellie Livezey, Whitewater School, 5B. "A rolling stone gathers no moss, Ijjut it piles up 'snow in winter.

The cat's name was Tabby and the kittens' were Pet and Bobby. They were playing and hating lots of fun when all at once they stopped and were very still. I wondered what'the matter wa3 for a few moments. Then I saw a mouse run under the books. Nellie came in just then and we moved the books to help find the mouse. The kittens watched very closely. We saw the mouse several times trying to get away. We moved all the books but the mouse

got away. We never saw the

mouse again to 1 ocos uc um w visit some other house. Berneice Davis, aged 10, Williamsburg. THE LITTLE POOR GIRL Once upon a time there was a little rich girl and her name was Alice.
