THE ADVENTURES OF A . ,; LITTLE GIRL NAMED MARY
.Once upon a time there was a rit lie girl that was Tery poor. Her mother was dead and she lived with her father. Her name was Mary White and she was about twelve years old. She did all of her father's cpoking. cleaning and washing. Her father could not afford to hire a girl to do his house work. One day he went to work as usual, and when he returned Mary was no place to be found. He searched the house from top to bot-j om but could not find her. He did not know what to do because he had no one to do his house work, and he was also very sad for the loss of Mary. He sent policemen to search for her hut they couldn't ind any trace of her. Her father had almost given up ill hopes of ever getting her back, when one day he received a letter stating that if he would put two thousand dollars at a certain place they would return his girl In safety. Mr. White didn't possess that much mi hardly knew what to do about it, when one of his neighbors came to inquire about whether he had found and trace of little Mary, and after Mr. White told of receiving the , letter and what it said, the neighbor said he would lend him the money. The neighbor was rich OFFICERS LISTED (Continued from Page One) Second Lieutenant, Richard Camp- " ' field.

missed the , two thousand dollars, but he trusted Mr. White. . "' - Mr. White put the money where he was supposed to, and the next day Mary returned. When she taw her father, she said, "Oh, father, where did you get me money to pay those mean men?" Her father told how he got it and fehe sent her thanks to Mr. Wood (the neighbor who loaned Mr. White the money). Her father asked her how they came to get her. She told him that as she was going through the woods to see her neighbor chum they stole her, and asked her if nor father was. rich, and she said, no, but the men said if hj didn't pay the money they would kill her. That was why she was so thankful that Mr. Wood loaned her father the money. When Mary's grandmother died she left her father a lot of money and he could pay Mr. Wood what he owed and also enough for himself and Mary as long as they lived.

In the firemen's bedroom, where Billy Jr. had chased the mean fireman, was an open hole with a greased pole coming up through the middle for the firemen to slide down when an alarm of fire was sent in. Billy was up the stairs and into the room almost as soon as the man himself, who in mad haste made a grab for the greased pole and down he went, leaving Billy rather doubtful as to what course to pursue; but quietly seeing the impossibility of a goat's trying to slide down either a greased or any other kind of a pole, he bounded down the stairs 'jgain. The' fireman had to all appearances disappeared, but Billy sniffed the air suspiciously and, glancing keenly first in one direction and then in another, he soon discovered his pet enemy seated on the hook and ladder wagon. This elevated position he wisely forebore attempting to reach and, instead, took up a position where no one could enter or leave the engine house without passing him, and then he calmly laid himself down and waited. But the fates were against Billy Jr. and he was obliged to give up his position or get run over. Just as he got comfortably settled, the fire alarm rang out and each wellI trained horse rushed to his allotted place on engine, hose cart or ladder wagon. , As Billy saw the engine speed away with his enemy holding on behind and trying to get into his rubber coat, he said, "I have been cheated of my revenge today, but look out for tomorrow, you red faced lubber," and with this parting threat he trotted off to find his friend, old One-horn. Just as Billy was coming out of the engine house he came upon an old German couple leading a dainty little Nanny goat by a string. Now, it had been a long time since Billy had met a pretty Nanny anu hl3 heart fairly thumped with joy as he pranced up to make friends with her. but here is where he made a mistake. In his joy at see ing her pretty face he had for gotten that he must needs be in troduced before approaching a strange Nanny, and this young thing proved to be unusually timid, en when she saw a big strange By Ad Carter

As his head appeared at one sido of the old fat woman, Nanny'a appeared at 1 the other, and the faster she ran the faster he followed. This they kept up until the poor woman was wound roun4 and round by the cord, so that she could not move and, being equally as timid as her little charge, sho at last fainted and fell forward, on the walk, knocking Billy off of hia feet and throwing Nanny down upon her knees. When Billy saw the mischief he had been the cause of, and also saw the old woman's nusoana coming arter nim with a thick club, he wisely disappeared round the first corner, pondering in his mind over the foolishness of young kids in general and of this one in particular.
