I The Cross of Kazza CHAPTER VI. , Tata's face paled, . but Eya con tinued: "Jtall happened when I was tut 15.. I was visiting at an; old friend of father', and there I was Introduced to a handsome roan, whom 1 foolishly thought I loved; later be persuaded me to - marry him, in secret I consented and wa were married, ' Dut I soon learned my husband was a clever rogue, and treated mo cruelly, and henceforth I hated him. ' Fearing to tell my father, because of bis anger, I kept It a secret and bribed him with money to do the same. He was a great wanderer and soon went to sea. That was two years ago. That morning in the garden was the first time we have met since then. He came to ask me for money, but you thank God interrupted. Now you have my unhappy story. That is why I seem sad and cannot return and marry thee, my love, for I am the wife of an outlaw and murderer. "But, listen! Beneath his tunic he wears the Cross of Kazza; and the gems are hid in Lonesome Cave which is guarded night and day." Silence reigned between Eya and Taza." Taza first broke the silence by saying: "I understand all, Eya, but I only love thee more and be of good heart for I'm sure it'll end right." Then a rough voice, ' from the tent called: "Eya. come here." It wsb Ta's

voice, and Eya walked slowly lnte,and Baid, "How would you like to

I go 10 me circus lomgiu : Taza. resumed his disguise and' "Oh, that will be very nice," clenched his fist with anger and ' they all replied. strode away to his tent vowing to So, in the evening, they went. keep his promise to the King. 1 j Ellen saw a ballon man and ran afLate that night Taza crept out-;terhim. She thought she could get side the gate and about half a mile a iallcon without money. The famup the highway and took a silver, ily did not miss her until they got horn from around his neck, and i far away from her.

putting it to his lips blew three low ! blasts; and in a short time two men cnine out of the forest, it was Sir Cyar and Sir Vaga. Taza told them of Lonesome Cave where the gems were hidden and said. that they must secure them if possible. i The three men faded into the fog and darkness, and started towards the direction of Lonesome Cave. Luck was with them, for the two guards were asleep at their posts. As the three crept by, the guards awoke and a fight was on. The sounds of the conflict awoke the sleeping camp, and Ta and hid rogues came quickly to their guards' assistance. It was a long and bloody fight; many were wounded; many were killed. Taza was fighting with Ta, ah! he was to have his revenge at last, then Taza felt Ta slipping and he saw Ta was dead for Sir Cyar had stabbed him. In the meanwhile the King grew anxious about Taza and set an army of Knights to search for him and the noise of battle drew the Knights to the scene of the conflict. When the rogues saw the army coming they fled Into the forest. Taza was faint from the loss of blood. He saw a sparkling gleam on Ta's chest and leaning ever 'he saw it was the "Cross of Kazza." He eagerly took ltffrom the dead Ta's neck, and then put it on his own neck, but when he first took it off of Ta's neck it was a dark green and when he transferred to his own neck it turned a brilliant red and he remembered the legend Eya had told him concerning it. The knights were taking the gems out of the cave, and Tasa went in search of Eya. He found her in her tent where she had swooned and was lying across the bed. When she regained consciousness her face brightened at the face of her lover, and when Taza told her of Ta's death and the recovery of the gems and Cross of Kazza she murmured happily: "Taza. my love I am thine forever for only thee do I love." Tasa answered: "Eya, did not I tell thee, that it would all end right? So it has my darling and the clouds have gone away and I still love thee." And the lovers were very happy, then Taza said: "Eya, now I will tell my secret. I am not a poor servant as thou thoughtest but I am King Taza of Silverpool and own several large castles and gems, but thou art the most precious gem of all and the Cross of Kazza next I beard of the prioress Eya and dis

So when the army of knights (with Eya and Taza riding ahead) came to the rattle and King Moza was told all he forgave them. When ho learned of Taza being a King he said: "I knew you were more than a servant ny your uce ana manner-; Eya mourned her mother's death. but the King told her to marry asi soon as she chose for her mother wouia nave wisnea it so.

Alice was eleven years old, Ruth nine, and Ellen was six. Soon the elephants came by. "I like the elephants best," cried Ellen. "Why do you?" asked Alice. "Because you can ride them, answered Ellen. "Well, you can ride lots of animals," replied Alice. "I like elephants best, anyway," I replied her little sister. I Just then their mother came out Finally, Ruth said, "Where Is Ellen?" "Why, where la she?" they all asked. "I'm afraid she is lost," said Ruth. They got a policeman to help them find her. At last they found her and she had been crying. Rut when she saw her mother, she quit. "Tell me how you eot lost." So, she told her mother, as you have i read. After that, they went to the big tent to see the clreus. Tbey had a very nice time and Ellen never ran after a balloon man again. Mary Clements, 5A grade, Vaile sehool.

One day his daughter went away and stayed all day and night. When night came, the man got' his supper and the work all done and went to bed. When he got in bed and had been asleep, he heard something moving By CLAUDE H. BOND, Age 14 Years, Garfield Junior High First, a reporter gets 'the news and takes it, in note form, to the news room, where he writes the story. After it is written, the cityeditor looks over it for any possible corrections and hands it to the "head" writer, who writes the j"head" or subject for that article. The story Is then sent into the composing room where the "copy cutter" cuts the copy into small "takes" (bo that several operators may work on the same story at the same time) and puts tt on the hook. Then the linotype operator takes a piece of copy from the hook and cta it nn th lifMvtvnA machine. ('Linotype' is taken from the three words, "line of type," meaning that it Is a solid line.) A linotype machine is operated by a man or woman in a way similar to that of a typewriter. The keyboard on this machine

The Japanese people wear kimonos, even tho men. When they go to bed they put on a heavy kiu.ono to keep them warm. tneir nouses are made or oamooo and paper. Their stoves are nothing but a box with hot coals in it and sticks of charcoal laid on the top of the coals. Their shoes are very funny, they are made of a small board with stilts underneath the board to elevate them from the ground. They have no carpets on their floors except a straw matting all over the floor. Thev have no furniture at all. They have a little low nlntfnrm In ru rnt-m-r of the room. There is an idol on the piatiorin, which they worship. Richard Smith, 5 A, Vaile school. has 90 keys and a space band bar, besides a pi-channel, which contains certain necessary characters that are seldom used. When a key is pressed down, a cam, which is connected with the key rod at the rear, turns around, and, in so doing, pushes up a reed which in turn pushes up an escapement pawl, which releases the matrix (letter) from the magazine and lt (the mat) comes down the chute into the assembler. Reading matter in a newspaper is usually set 12Vs or 13 picas wide. There are approximately C picas to an inch. When a sufficient number of mats have fallen into the assembler the line is pushed up and is transferred to the vise. The vise, then having the line of mats, drops down a matter of about 12 inches into what is called first position. As ih vise encft down, the mold regular news matter machine, there Is but one mold. A mold is about 14-16 of an inch in depth. It is generally made of the best steel ob talnable. The linotype slug (line) is 14-16 of an inch in height and the type face is 15-16 of an inch high. When the vise goes down, and the mold wheel makes its quarter turn, the justification lever pushes up against the space bands and, as the bands are of the wedge variety, they push the mats outward so as to have the letters out to the edge of each line. When the mats have been pushed out and are securely locked in the vise, the plunger is released and as it goes down, it pushes out metal about 550 degrees) through a goose neck shaped throat, out through a mouthpiece into the mold and up against the letters on the mats. Then the vise starts upward and the wheel makes a three-quarter turn. When the vise reaches second position, a bar has descended and the mats are pushed over onto it, leaving the space bands down below, as they do not go into the magazine. The m .tr have a combination on them, ea-rh letter havfoig a different one, and as they go along, the distributor bar, they fall into their respective channels. The mold wheel, having reached its former place, an ejector blade pushes the line out of the mold into a receptacle, called "stick." When a story is all set, it Is placed in a galley, before being used In the paper. (This Is the way they used to set type btfore th linotype machine was invented.)

lusic Chapter IV. The landlady' could not imagine why Mr. Van Harrittt had come to feuch a place as that because only poor people came these and he looked like a rich majj, . . iiSiakea if there was an empty oack room on the third floor. The landlady asked him why he wanted a back room, the only answer was that he wanted to live quietly. The landlady ?.!! "There is one little room, so Mr. Van Harritt said "that will be all right," so she took him to the room. He look all the things out of his trunk. He had lots of German boohs, a violin and music that he had on the" night of the concert, these things he put in his little room, he had a picture of his little daughter, which he hung on the wall just in front of his bed where he could always si it. There were times when Mr. Van Harritt would not go out to get any thing to eat, the landlady could not imagine why it was that he was so sad but Mr. Van Harritt would not tell her. She, sometimes would bring him some food that she had t '-OOKea, One day as he was taking a walk up through town he met two men from Germany, he was very glad to see them and they were very glad to see him. Mr. Van Harritt knew how to play many different musical instruments. One of these men played a clarinet and the other played a flute, but neither of them could play very well. One night Mr. Van Harritt asked the men to bring their instruments and come over to his room and play, so the men went to his room and played. When it was time for them to go to their room one of them asktd Mr. Van Harritt if he would give them lesBons. Mr. Van Harritt said, "Yess, I will be glad to," ko they took lessons from him every night. One night about a month afterwards one of the men said to Mr. Van Harritt: "If you would hang out a. sign reading 'Violin Lessons Given Here,' you would soon have lots of pupils." But Mr. Van Harritt said, "No one would come way out here to take lessons, it Is too far out from town. Maybe they would take lessons if we were closer to town." But the man insisted on his putling out a sign until finally Mr. Van Harritt said he would. About a week after that people began to come and take lessons, but finally they stopped. Ho made a little money by playing in a theater, he did not get much money that way, he did not like to play there because the ragtime music and the ugly dancers made him sick. He would not let the landlady or any of his friends know that he earned his money by playing in a theater. One day a man that lived on the second floor jnoved out, so the landlady told Mr. Van Harritt that he could have that room, but he thanked her and said that he did not care for the room. She asked him why it was that he did not want the room, and if it was because he did not have the money to pay the rent; and he said, "Yes." So, the landlady said that he could have that room for the same rent that he had paid for this room. Mr. Van Harritt did not want to move ,but finally did. About three weeks after that he rented a piano, for one month. When it was time for him to pay for the piano, he did not have the money. About five minutes before the men were going to take the piano away, a young girl about eighteen years old, came to the door and knocked. To Be Continued.
