AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Good Evening Juniors Isn't it nice (hat there are so many new things always happening and just about to happen in the world? There are so many new ideas and new happenings and new inventions and new kinds of worth while things to do, and new ways of looking at old things that sometimes they almost make ua bewildered but happily bewildered. It is 6ueh fun to think something new is always just about to turn up. Py the time people wero all comfortably fixed in their buggies and carriages and being drawn faithfully though rathei slowly by dear old Dobbin, all of a sudden came out a little carriage not hitched up to any horse that went running around by itself and at a good rate of speed. After we became used to automobiles came the airplanes and bo it has always been one new thing after another. Oh, there's no end to them. We cannot do without horses nor automobiles, but to have horses and automobiles and airplanes is much more interesting than just to have one of these things, isn't it? If we keep our eyes open we will see new things as a little Richmond girl saw a strange looking freak (as to "colors) of a bird, the other day, and if we keep our minds cleared and working, we can think new things and then perhaps we can make new things and this is one of the joys one of the very "joyiest" joys of life. Oftentimes things that are old to others come as new things to us, but that doesn't take away any of our fun in getting acquainted with them. For instance I read this morning about feeding humming birds from bottles and it sounded so delightful. I am going to try h this spring. The person who told about it, said that he took five little bottles and filled them with diluted honey or a weak sugar syrup, hung them up in different' places oh yes, they were dressed in bits of bright crepe paper on the outside to attract the little birds, and waited to see if the humming birds would come. For two days nothing happened and then one evening one little humming bird came and then more came and they came during their stay north, which is from about May 15 to Sept. 15. all the time and seemed to like it very much, besides pleasing the one who was watching them. That is something new to many of us, isn't It? By the way. isn't it nice that the birds in their homes in the south remember to come back to U3 every spring? Think what our woods and fields and yards and orchards would look like, even in their beautiful new spring clothes, if there were no birds. Mr. Henry Ford is only one of many, many people who are seeing

new things to do all the time. Right now in his experimental factory in Dearborn, Michigan, he has a model of a new tractor, lighter than any yet made, and therefore better. He is working, too, on a water turbine and in fact, something new all the time. And you juniors, are you watching for new opportunities and ideas and new spring flowers and new bird visitors? It's a wonderful thing to do. AUNT POLLY.

Mrs. Hannon, said between sobs, "Josie was gone when I came from Mrs. White's this morning and I can not find her any place." Mrs. Jones said, "I have seen Spot, Josie's pet dog go and come from the river a!! afternoon." Mrs. Hannon said, "I will go right down to the river and see if I can find Josie." So she went down to the river nnd found Josie crying and Spot with her. Mrs. Hannon took her up in her arms and kissed her and carried her all the way home. When she got home her mother asked her, "Josie, why did you go to the river?" WTiy mother, "I did not go to the river only because I had to." Her mother asked her, "Why did you have to?"

"Taken for Granted" Other Girls Jealous, Jean Proud, Goes to Dance In Hugh's Car "Is this you, Joan? I thought you were going to call me up about the Senior dance. What time tonight shall I call? It was Dob Brook's voice on the phone. Jean hesitated. She had forgotten to call Bob. "Whywhy, Bob," she stammered, "I'm sorry I didn't call you. I'm going with Hugh Hurley." With an "All right, Jean, I'll see you at the dance, anyway," Bob hung up. "Yen, and that's all ho cares about it," thought Jean. "I'm tired of being taken for granted as Bob Brooks' girl. Oh, well, I'll dance with him one or two times. Bob is a good hearted fellow. Any one else, would be sore at what I've done." Usually the girls walked to the dances. It was an event for them to ride, even in one of the Weston jitneys. No wonder Jean was proud that evening to go to the Senior dance in the biggest car in town. "Well, here we are, little girl!" said Hugh, as he assisted her out of the machine. He held her hand a trifle more tightly and a trifle longer than really was necessary. Jean's heart jumped. No other boy had called her "little girl." Bob had never held her hand that way. She recalled one evening of the summer before when she overheard an experienced young lady of 23 summers say, "A fellow can call you a lot of nice things and not mean it, but when he calls you "little girl' he's in love with you." Later in the evening when she was dancing her one dance with Bob, she overheard Hugh saying to Sarah Ramsey, as they passed, "You're a picture tonight, little girl." Could it be possible that he was calling Sarah the same thing he had called her not two hours before. Of course not! Jean told herself she surely was mistaken. "Why this sudden change of heart, Jean." "Oh, Hugh is so fascinating." That was rather hard on poor Bob. He liked Jean and wanted her for his own girl. He wanted to tell her so but his bashfulness stopped him. It was a glorious evening for Jean. Nevertheles, after it was all i over and she was alone in her room, I ..... ... . ... she couldn t help wishing she had not overheard Hugh say what he did to Sarah.

THE FAMILY ALBUM

INT EMILY AND UNCLE 'EBENEZEQ-THIS IS THE ONIV TIME ON UKOQD WHEN SHE LOOKED AT HIM WITHOUT TALK I NO training gained in the city high school to good advantage when playing on the Weston team. Of course Bob Brooks wag a mainstay on all the school's teams, but he never talked much about It. It was taken for granted that Bob would be there to help win the games. Friday evening came and the girls went to the game in a bunch. "Hello, Jean," called Ted Irvin as they were taking their seats, "here to help your new fellow win the game?" Jean answered with a laugh. She was pleased and proud to have her name and Hugh's link ed together. "Hurrah for Weston!" "Get the ball, Hugh!" The din started. Oh, how proud of Hugh she was! How thrilling to watch him play. Hugh was a forward, and made baskets. Bob was only a guard. What good are guards, anyway? They don't do anything. The game was two-thirds over and the score was close. Suddenly the referee's whistle blew shrilly. ."That tall fellow kicked an Elmhurst man," pointing at Hugh. Hugh shot back an angry reply, and the referee ordered him off the floor. A substitute was put in. Elmhurst won the game by a narrow margin. "If they hadn't put Hugh out we'd have won" "Of all the mean, dirty tricks!" "Let's mob that referee." The whole Weston school was indignant. Jean was angry at everybody, more so, because down in her heart she knew the referee was right. She tried to persuade herself that he was not, but she could not forget that she had seen Hugh kick his opponent. She knew that it had not been an accident. Hugh knew what he was doing.

I The Cross of Kazza j Chapter V. Taza's Hps tightened and hastily dressing, the King, led him to where the Royal Queen had met her unhappy end. Then Taza said quietly: "If you have a horse saddled for me and two strong men to accompany me in case of an attack I will bring back your daughter just as she left you and all your gems Including the Cross of Kazza and the murderer of your wife. If I cannot, I will not return." King Moza ordered three of his fastest steeds saddled end told two of his favorite knights Sir Vaza and Sir Cyar to accompany Taza la his adventure. (Vaza), (Siar). The sun shone down on three riders that day, on three coal black steeds. This was Taza and the two knights Vaza and Cyar. At noon they rested under a tree in the shade and ate their simple lunch, then Journeyed on. One day, three days later they slipped upon the camp of the thieves and Taza saw Ta, the man of the garden and Taza's blue eves grew hard for he knew Ta had the girl he loved Princess Eya. Taza turned to the two men at his side and said: "Comrades, I will go thither, disguised as a hungry, thirsty, foot sore, dying stranger and perhaps I can make good my promise. Stay close. If I blow three blasts on the horn I wear around my neck come at once, farewell," and the three parted, the two taking Taza's horse with them. Then Taza made up his . simple disguise. He ran his fingers thru his thick yellow hair and threw gravel in it, then threw dirt over his dark red suit and drawing off one sandle threw it away in the grass and started limping towards the camp. A sentinal met him at the gate but Taza's gasping breath and limping gait led to no suspicion. Also Taza had put on a black patch over his right eye and a long brown beard (he had, brought for this purpose) disguised him so Ta would not recognize him. Some of the rogues were really kind hearted and fed the stranger and brought him a pair of their sandles for his feet. Taza told them his name was 'Patch O'Deil' and the men all had ; heard of 'Patch O'Deil' the greatest sue on me gauows dui nau never 1 seen him so they readily took him as ineir comraae. wnen iaza was j brought before Ta, Taza gritted his i teeth to keep from killing the beast but he put on a bold front and Ta accepted him as one of his gang. In a week Taza grew disgusted at the rogues' everlasting boasting and took a walk around camp. "Perhaps," he though. "I can find Eya." At the large tent of the captain he saw a slight youth in blue clothes struggling to carry a bucket of water which was too heavy for him. Taza walked quickly towards the slim youth and said quietly: "Here, here, my lad thou art too frail to lift that, let me carry It." The youth raised his face and Taza almost cried out for it was Princess Eya. "Eya, Eya," he murmured. The youth's face grew puzzled and then in the voice Taza knew was Eya's said: "Who art thou that knowest my name?" And Taza pulling off the patch and beard said: "Look beloved. 1 have come to take you home." "Taza" cried the happy maid and threw herself in her lover's arms. Then she said softly: "I'm so happy just now, Taza, for I love you but I can never go home. If you knew all you would despise me. I will tell thee all now. "Nay, nay, dear Eya, do not tell me something that pains thee to tell for thou coulds't not do wrong, thou angel of purity." "Yea, I must tell thee first, Ta, the rogue, is my lawfully wedded husband." Thelma I. Darby. (To be continued.)
