Part Onfc The children went to visit Edin burgh castle early in the day- you remember we left them in Edinhurgh yesterday. The great castle sets high on a hill and the little folks had a wonderful view of the city from the towers. Jack and Jane had seen castles before, but this one was larger than any they had visited and they noticed something different about It. All around the outside of the stone building was a very deep ditch, too wide for anybody to jump across. The only way of Betting into the castle was over a

bridge a drawbridge. Captain j down between two of the niounBrave called it. Then he told the J tains and the children over the side children how the ditch was kept i of the plane could see a wonderful

filled, with water in the olden times. The knights, in their heavy armor, could not swim, of course, and therefore couldn't get across the ditch except by using the bridges. These were built so that they could be pulled up on the castle side of the water so that no one could use them unless the king and his followers gave their permission. The bridges were kept raised all of the time. Anyone who wanted to enter the castle had to call to the guards. If the guards knew theru or if the strangers had business in the castle the bridge was let down If not, the guards refused to lower it. Many clever schemes were tried by the enemy to get the guards to let the bridges down, the captain said. From Edinburgh castle the ehil dren were taken to Holyrood castle, where all the kings and their families lived, you know. The children and their friends spent the next day in Edinburgh and then went to Dundee. I'll have to tell you what interested the children most in Dundee. That was the great taciories making rope and bags. These factories buy boatloads and boatloads of flax and hemp every year and make thousands of miles of rope and millions of bags. These are shipped all over the world. The children went through one of the mills and saw how both are made from the time the material is brought into the factories until the ropes in balls and bags in great bundles are shipped out of the factories. Next the children went to Aberdeen. The children quickly found out why Aberdeen is called the "Granite City." There are hundreds of granite "quarries' which are about the same as mines near Aberdeen and the city is built mostly of the pretty stone-like blocks. It took Captain Itrave only a couple of minutes to whisk the children from that city to Balmoral castle, the place where the beloved Queen Victoria of England spent, many pleasant summer hours Iiadydear told the children all about the queen who ruled so kindly and graciously. The shipyards at Glasgow, Scot land's great seaport, visited next, awed the children. The great city is located on the River Clyde. The huge harbor has been dug out so that ocean liners and all types of big boats can enter it and unload their passengers easily. There is; much iron and coal around Glasgow and it takes a great number of 1 ships to carry these products away. Big manufacturing plants turn out goods for all parts of the world, too, so you can see how important the harbor is to that city. Part Two. Although Jack and Jane had enjoyed their flying trip to Scotland, they were tickled when Captain I m - nrntunfir. Ilia ncvl niArninC that they were to leave that day Tor Switzerland. For the children!

bad teen pictures of the little country with its wonderful ice-covered mountains ami its pretty little valleys and Jack, especially, had read

i lots of times about how Swiss boys and girls would coast for miles down the snow covered mountain roads. So. in less time than it lakes t tell the little folks found themselves coming toward Switzerland. High as they were in the airplane, the mountains ahead of them seemed to fairly stick up into the sky. As Captain Brave let the plane drop slowly Jack and Jane could see the ice-covered peaks plainly. Then the captain circled utile valley coming up to meet them. Such wonderful colors the children never had seen.

Nobody at our village ever heard of an electric de partment in a grovery store and we just decided she was to take care of the currants. Si Perkins said it was nothing unusual to see a king crowned, as he had a tooth crowned ouce by a dentist, and then on another occasion, his wife "crowned" him with a llower pot. The town board has voted to take the lamp post down which has been standing at the Zarrow lane for years. The village has refused to sign the more day light plan, and it was suggested to take the light post and lamp down and the village people would have to get in off the streets, for fear of scandals. Next Saturday will be a half holiday for the town constable; it has been suggested be cut the grass in the middle of the street.

A group of red checked lieiillliv children piiMiercfi around the airplane and a big man, the owner of the bouse, came out of it and come over to Captain Itrave. Of course, the first thing Captain Itrave had to do was to arrange for some place for him and his little family to stay. "I'm sure the Widow Aar would be more than glad to take you in," said the man. "She lives in that little chalet (which is a house) down the road. Her husband was killed while leading some folks across the mountains and what you pay her for taking care of your folks will help her." So Captain Itrave arranged with Mrs. Aar to let them live there. Of course the children were hungry, just like little folks usually are, so supper. Mrs. Aar gave them their And it was just the kind
