PAGK TWO

: Mary Jcme's House PaCT ; "Well, we will try to find out what your last name Is, William," Bald Mrs. Crossby; : "O will you?" exclaimed William, "I do hope that I will find some one that is related to me. I am so lonesome." "You will not bo lonesome here with us," said Mary Jane, who was by this time well. "Will he moth err "No Indeed," replied mother, "he will bo considered as a member of our family." Mr. Crossby went up town to pur chase some new clothing for Wil liam. While she was gone she told William to take a bath. She was not gone long and when she got back she found that William was not through yet. But he soon was ready and Mrs. Crossby gave him the new clothes to put on. He looked like a different boy. He thanked Mrs. Crossby over and over. Next day, which was Sunday the entire house party went to Sunday school. They all went to Mary Jane's Sunday school, which was the Second Presbyterian, because if each one went to his own Sunday school, they would be greatly scat tered. William was glad he had come because this was the same kind of church his father had often gone to. v Mary Jane took all the girls to her class. Their teacher was very pretty and very nice. So were the children of her class. The visiting children especially liked the way the class work was. , Every Sunday, if any one in the class would learn something from the Bible he was awarded by a blue star. This star would be put on a service flag made of fine stiff paper. The service flag was like a real one. .The border of red, the center of white and the little blue star. The first girl to get her flag full would have a gold star put on and she would be awarded a prize. One girl had ten Btars, the highest in the class. The children from New York said they were going to ask their Sunday school teachers if they might do this way. The Sunday school teacher was a student of Earlham college and she promised the children and her class that next week she would take them to the museum at Earlham. ,-, She told them to bring a lunch so that they could stay all day. The children were delighted with this plan and they said that they didn't know how they could ever wait that long. It was time for Sunday school to close and the children declared that they didn't want to go home yet, but they finally went. That afternoon they went on a hike to the Thlstlethwait's pond. They took marshmallows along and toasted them. They saw many kinds of birds, which they had never seen before, but William told them the names of each one. How do you know so many birds, Bill?" asked Mary Jane. "My father taught me when we lived in the woods," Bill answered. : "O tell us about it, Bill," urged the kids. . ' . "Well, there's not much to it," began Bill. "Only dad took me to the woods 'when I was ten years old.. That was three years ago. We lived there a long time. There was not any one. else except us, that lived In the woods. There was a town about five miles from us where dad got his supplies. I don't know why dad lived up there, but he was always reading a book about birda and he taught me all about them. He seemed anxious for me to learn and he told me that when I grew older he wanted .me to study hard about the birds. It was three weeks ago that dad died." I didn't want to go to the orphan asylum bo I buried dad myself and ran away and that's how I got here." "Poor boy," sighed Mrs. Crossby again. . Just then a bird hopped down in front of Mary Jane. "O, what kind of a bird .is that Bill?" she exclaimed, breaking the silence "That's an American Goldfinch," be answered. ' "We must go home now," said Mrs. Crossby. On their way home they found many wild flowers. When they reached home they found that Mary Jane's daddy was there. Mrs. Crossby went into his room and aid: . "We must do something for that toy, daddy. I hare an idea he comes from a talented family. I

Victory Gardens Victory gardens'. They are to bo twice blessed, who plant a garden this year! Are we of these? "Who has a bit of garden earth? Let her now plan to save Its worth. Murmur a prayer with each small seed, 'Lord, for peace we are glad indeed!' Many a garden made last year, Bravely buried a woman's fear, Who toiled and weeded all day long, Hiding anguish under a song? Dear war gardeners, plant for peace. The hungry thousands beg release From famine. As our own bright land Is spared that cruel, searing hand. Ours be the part to plant once more,' And till the gardens at our door. Victory gardens, sweet the name, And lofty such a garden's aim." Elsie Jordan.

Mary's Escape Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mary. She went out in the woods to play with another little girl. But just as Bhe was going to the girl's house, she saw a great, big black thing. She ran home as fast as she could go, and the big black thing went right behind her. She called her mother. Her mother came out to see what was the matter. When she saw her little girl she said, "Oh, come in quick, or you will be killed." So she ran in so quick that she almost fell down. So they ate their supper. After supper they went to tho show. Elizabeth Hole. 40Gy3 Main Street. A Bad Dream Once upon a time there was a man and his wife had died and left him a little baby and he did not know what to do. He did not know how to take care of it. But finally it grew up and one night he heard the little girl cry and he went to her room and said, "Why did you cry?" And the little girl said, "I did not cry" and so the man went back to his room and went to sleep. And this time he got up in bed and looked all around and he didn't see any thing and so he went to bed again. He heard something go, "I want you, I want you and I am going to have you." And the man was scared and said nothing, but went to sleep again and he pretty soon rolled over and It was only a dream. Nina Murray. Nine years. ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK'S RIDDLES. 1. A cinder sifter.
