AUNT POLLY'S LETTER

Good Evening, Junior Folks: This is the visiting time of year, isn't it? Either your cousin or some of your friends come to visit you or else you go to visit them or perhaps grandfather and grandmother or perhaps you exchange visits. Visiting times are full-of-fun times, aren't they? Especially Is it nice to have guests come to your home, to Include them for a while as one of your family. Then we have the pleasure of being something that's nice even though it does take many letters to spell it and that is hospitable. It is just as much fun-every bit to welcome a guest as to be welcomed. Our own federal White House is proving nowadays to American and to foreign visitors as well the pleasures of hospitality. The gates and doors of the White House and its grounds are open to the public and this Is being appreciated by all visitors, according to report. Children of the capital city often visit the grounds and have been very delighted to find that President and Mrs. Harding like children and often shake hands and speak with them. Boys who wanted a swimming pool, and juniors Interested In the John Burroughs Nature club are only two of the groups of younger citizens who have found easy access to the president. Sometimes they return home each with a flower In his buttonhole given him by the leader of our country's affairs. Laddie Boy, the Whitehouse Airedale dog, likes children too, and of course they always like to see him. Sometimes too, as on Easter Monday, children are allowed to romp all over the beautiful White House lawns. Isn't It pleasant to know that the head of our national family Is so friendly and such a cheerful and generous host, and especially that he is so with everyone Including children and juniors? Richmond is enjoying being hospitable this summer to a greater degree' than ever before. Large signs are put up on all the highways leading into the city, inviting tourists to camp on Roosevelt hill and in the Glen during their stay In the city. Letters and announcements of this well equipped camping placo have been sent rather widely and since May hundreds of travel-worn tourists have rejoiced at spending the night In such a pleasant place. Mr. Hollarn, superintendent of parks, ha made it his business to act as personal host for the city to these traveling guests. The camper3 have reported themselves highly pleased, even enthusiastic over the city's hospitality. In studying history and geography wo learn that a house guest was always held in great honor in Greece, in Rome, In Egypt, and between and within modern nations. Savage tribes, too, honor the stranger and guest. We are always glad to hear about your visiting guests In the Junior office, and remember we are always glad to see you each and every one.

MARY, JOHN, AND AN ENCHANTED CASTLE

They did not find Mary. When she found that they had taken him away, she ran to the shore crying to bring him back that she would go in his place. But they did not hear her for they were too far away. She could see them beating him. When they put him on the ship they beat him and made him work very hard. Mary went back to the hermit's house crying as though her heart would break. The hermit tried to ease her by telling her that he would come back soon. John was working very hard when the rest of the men went to bed. As he noticed that everything was quite still up-stairs he went up to see what was the matter. He noticed that they had all gone to bed. He slipped quietly out and got to shore before morning. The ship had drifted a long way off. It hit a large rock and killed all of the men. John not knowing that the men were killed, got to the hermit's house at morning. He thanked the hermit for taking such good

care of Mary. He hurried away with Mary bo that the pirates would not find them. They rested under a great tree all night. Not very far away from this

The White Flame

CHAPTER I. Valley Township High Wonders About Harvey When Harvey Patterson entered as a freshman In Valley Township high school, there was excitement. A new student in the school was always the cause of talk, but Harvey much more so than usual. In the first place he had never lived in Valley Township before. He had a room down at Sol Egan's farm, and apparently was working there while he went to school. But Sol, in this case even less communicative thari usual, had Bald nothing as to where his boy came from or why he came at all. So Valley Township was permitted to wonder and talk, and talk and wonder. Harvey Patterson was a fellow who would arouse some comment anywhere. He was tall, his eyes keen, his countenance rugged, open, and Btralght-forward. He said little, giving the impression that his Bilence was due, not to natural bashfulness, but rather to lessons learned from experience. No one knew where Harvey had frnm hut all were unanimous

in guessing that he had not always lived in communities like Valley Township. Neither had he always lived in a city, for the work he did on Sol Egan's farm was evidence of previous experience along the

RnrriA line.

Harvey had been In school only

two weeks and gossip aDout mm was wore keenly alive than ever. Many had hinted to him that they

would like to know anout nis past, but he replied only with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. Obviously he had done nothing to be ashamed of. He was not a fugitive from justice. Obviously too, he did not care to reveal the facts about his former life. "But why should any fellow ever

Violet Receives an Enchanted Sapphire

There once was a poor little girl

called Violet. She lived with her

mother by a great forest where people said that fairies lived, but Violet had never seen any. though she

had lived there all her life.

Every day Violet had to go into

the forest to get berries. A fairy who lived near where Violet had

to pass every day, took a liking to Violet, and decided to hide an enchanted stone for her. These stones were very wonderful and were about the best thing that a fairy could give to a mortal. On day Violet found the stone

which happened to be a sapphire.

in her ear, "What do you wish?" and Violet answered. "I should like to have a new dress." And there it was. She took it home to her mother, who thought it very pretty and asked her where she got it. Violet told her and showed her the stone, which when she picked it up, asked, "What do you wish?" She replied: "I should like to have a new house," and there it was. With this sapphire Violet and her mother lived happily all the rest of their lives. Lorraine Petty, Cambridge City, Ind.

Pete Forgan expressed the prevailing opinion. CHAPTER II. No Harvey Shows Up at Hallowe'en Party It was evident In the classroom that Harvey Patterson had not been In school for a considerable while. He was bright enough, but nevertheless study for him was difficult. He appeared to be out of practice. But, as the weeks wore along, he became more accustomed to bis new environment, studying became easier, he became more friendly with his schoolmates, even though they wore much younger than he. Still he made no chums. He bad a cheery "Hello, there" for anyone, but Intimacy for none. October passed. There was much to do on Sol Egan's farm. Harvey worked early and late. But only once did he fail to appear at school, and then only for half a day. Hallowe'en approached and with It came the annual Valley Township Hallowe'en party, an event that no one missed. Gladys Wellington and Lucille Franks, together with a bunch of friends, decided to plan the downfall of Harvey. After they were through with him, his air of mystery would be meaningless. They planned to learn all, and they planned It In a very definite way. Gladys was to be spokesman, the rest would be her assistants. Pete Forgan and a couple of fellows were In on the plot. It was well laid. , The annual party was held In the big barn on the Winter place. It had never looked prettier than It did on this mellow October evening. No wonder that Valley Township was on hand with scarcely a man or a baby missing. All but Harvey. Gladys, Lucille and Pete looked for him in vain. "Where Is Harvey Patterson, tonight?" Lucille Inquired of Mrs. Egan when it appeared that further searching would be useless. "Land, girlie, I don't know where he is. He told, Sol that he would like to get a day or so off this week-end. That boy has worked so hard that I told Sol to let him go, and go he did. He didn't say where. He left about dusk this evening, walking over toward Scioto Junction. It, seemed to me that he would be too late to get the 8 o'clock -train, but maybe not. He is a fast walker." (More Next Week.)

WHY DO STORIES END? But the provoking kitten only began on the other paw and pretended it hadn't heard the question. What do you think it was? Mother closed the book and Sister Betsy and Brother Billy both sighed. "Oh, dear, I wish there were more of It," said Betsy. "Isn't there another book about Alice, Mother?" It was the fifth or sixth time that Mother had read Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass to them out of the fat, red book, and everytlme they had reached the end, Betsy had asked this same question. "I am just as sorry as , you are, dears, that there Isn't another book about Alice," said Mother; "but, even If there were, we could not read any more tonight It's your bed time!" Mary Brennan.
