On Fairy Nights

By HETTIE ELLIOTT I sit on the porch out at Grandpa's Just before going to bed, And watch the light of the fireflies As they climb lo the sky overhead. And I wonder if they ever fly downward, Or, just flit on till they're dead? Sometimes I bear a voice hooting, From the top of an old hollow oak; I used to think someone was calling, And very polildy I spoke. Hut now 1 just smile in the darkness, For it's an owl's only kind of a joke. And down at the edge of the paslure, Where the wood climbs out of the Glen, I seem to see fluttering movements And flashes of light, now and then, And I know it is King Brian Connors At tile head of his wee "Little Men." But I'm not afraid of tho Fairies, For I've magic against any harm, In my pocket I carry eomo pieces Of the oak, of tho ash and the thorn And my knife blade cold iron will guard mo From any effects of their charm. Then grandma calls out from the doorway And I almost jump out of my skill. Sho Bays it is timo for tho Sandman And maybe he's already been; But I take cold iron to bed with me j Lest the Sandman and Brian Confers are kin.

Are You a Member of the J. R. C. Dear Juniors: Isn't It splendid to know that we have little friends in France, in Belgium, In Serbia, in Russia, in Armenia and in many, many countries everywhere? And they have become our friends and we have become their. through tho American Red Cross. We have been able to help many of these little friends who, because of war and disease were not as fortunate and happy as wo ar Doesn't it make you feel happy all over inside and outside--to think you could help some other boy or girl to laugh again and enjoy this "great, big, wonderful, beautiful world?" Before you sent your pennies to

, give them food, before you gave up eating so much candy to givo thorn 1 sugar, before you discovered your outgrown dresses and suits to keep them warm, their faces wore thin ' and sad, and they shivered and j cried and then, through tho Red Cross you were allowed to help ! send them the things they needed, land all at once they smiled and begun to play and began to growl i plump and healthy. j Did you eer tickle a person botho ear when he didn't exit and watch his face change ;ect from a real serious, solemn look to ui e.Muessem m grins, aim iwinieles and hnifh wrinkles? Well, tho change in the faces of our unfortunate little friends in our own country and in other countries is just as great as tho change in uiu expression or me man you suddenly tickled behind the ear. Next week every Junior will be given the chanco of becoming an Active Member of the Junior Red Cross. Lett's make Richmond's r cord perfect every boy and girl a member. AUNT POLLY.

How Margaret Spent Hallowe'en One upon a time there was a little girl named Margaret. She had two brothers named Ilarry and Maurice. They were twins and you couldul tell them apart. It was near Hallowe'en and Margaret said, "Mother, may I go out Hallowe'en night?." Her mother said, "No, dear, there is no one for you to go with and you couldn't go alone." But Margaret replied, "Oh so you think. I am afraid do yon, well I'm not. I came home from Helen's one night and it was pretty near 9 o'clock." "Well you shouldn't of and your not going out alono any more." Margaret cried, but It did no good. It was the night before Hallowe'en. Margaret went to bed and

sho lay thinking how sua would like to go out tomorrow nignt. lsut she remembered what her mother! had said. All of a sudden she thought of somet hing. May be she j could sneek out and her mother wouldn't know a thing about it. Hallowe'en eamo. Fortunately

for Margaret her mother had call-j Miss Marjorie Edwards, the regisers and her father didn't come j trar, will b in charge of the books, home that night. I Isn't this joyful news? Margaret ran upstairs immediate- But there is some sweeter news

ly after supper and locked herself! in her room. Sho was so happy th::t she wmiiil l;nijh nut tmul , A11 of a sudden su heard a noise. j .-,,., ll.nt,,i,P,i whnt ft rnnl.l b nn,l thought she. might be more quite. She finally was dressed and started out of her room. She tip-toed down-stairs out the back door and out on tho street. How quiet everything was. Now and then as she walked along some, people would pass her. She noticed that there was not one singlo person alone. The little girls and boys were with their mot hers or fathers and the bigger ones were in groups. Margaret was getting frightened. She was just a little girl and wasn't used to being out at night, although as I said she had been out that one night coming homo from Helen's. She thought she heard footsteps and she was frightened. She almost wished sho hadn't dono this but as soon a3 sho got to Helen's house (for this was where she was going), it would bo alright. All of a sudden she was snatched up off the ground. She was so frightened sho didn't look to see who it was. All she knew was that she was being carried off. Oh, how she wished her father would come and get her. They carried her a long way. Finally sho felt herself lowered and opened her eyes. There stood two tall figures dressed up in red. Margaret was frightened but one of them spoke. "Mello Margaret" and at once she recognized them as her brother. How happy sho was. Harry said, "Did mother say you could come out alone?" Margaret was too ashamed to say that her mother had said no, so sho didn't say anything. "How bravo you are, come on and we'll have some fun. First they went to Helen's house. They had a lot of fun bobbing for apples. Margaret fried and tried but she just couldn't get any. They went to a lot of other children's houses and finally went home. Now there was great excitement at home when they had discovered that Margaret was gone. They sent people out to find her But when Margaret did como no but they all came back without her. one said a word. Sho was put to bed and after that it was never discussed. Ever after that she was never allowed Catharine Fulghum, Cb, Baxter school.

A Hallowe'en Party Once upon a time there was a little boy and girl w ho were twins. Emily and Edgar were 13 years old. They felt that they were big enough to have a party, bo in the fall of the year they decided to have a Ilalowe'cn Party for their friends. They asked their mother, and she gave her consent. So a few days before Hallowe'en the children sent out their invitations and of course their friends wero delighted to come. In tho invitations it said to come masked. The children were delighted to find out that their Aunt Anna was to decorate the house and yard, and that they were to help her. The children lived in a big old fashioned brick house, set in the midst of a- nice woods. This was very spooky at night. Their Aunt Anna spent majiy hours in fixing the Jack o'lanterns on the posts in the yard. She put ghosts in the halls and corn stalks in all the rooms and jack o'lanterns in all the nooks and corners. "Aunt Anna is to fix things for the games and to help serve," said Emily as she and Edgar were out in the swing." Isn't it lovely of her to do all of this for us?" asked Edgar. "I can't wait for the time to come for us to get dressed," exclaimed Emily, as she gave Edgar an extra hard pusli in the swing. Time went very slow until tho time to dress ami then it went too fast. , When Emily's father came home he said that ho had told James, the hired man to go to the car to meet the children in the machine. Some of the children's parents were going to bring them in machines. Soon the children wero all there. A largo number was pinned on each child and a pencil and paper given them on which they wero to write the names of the children and the number that was pinned on each. After they were all unmasked they were each given a present, which . they bad to roll across the floor with their nose. They then bobbed for apples. Emily's Aunt Anna was dressed as a witch, and she gave each of them a little pieco of paper cut into a certain shape, and each person, had to find the pieco that matched his own paper. They wero taken to tho witches den, which was in the attic and thero they had their fortunes told. Tho witch led them all around the yard and finally led them to the barn. They wero taken up and down ladders and all the hay, over stalls and boxes, until they reached the place where the refreshments were. After the refreshments were served, th children were taken out back of the barn, let slide down the hay stark. It was then time for them to take a hay ride out in the country. The

children went miles and miles, and at last they were all taken home. Be Price
