THE SEA A castle had I at the edge of the Sea, With turrets and towers. as high as could be; The stairs climbing up and th3 stairs running down Were fashioned of shell, of a delicate brown; The windows looked over the Sea. A bridge and a moat and astanchly built wall, Too high to see over unless you were tall, I built them, I loved them, I played in the sun, But Someone was waiting to share In the fun The Sea climbed across my gray wall.

Timet? Norton had spent sumhuois in the Dig Woods, but never i before hud lie been there during the winter. When he went up to I visit his father, a lumberman, the com weatner mane mm giau to sl" ciose in me ihdiii. mmKiii he listened to the howling of the wolves. He shivered and wished himself back in the comfortable ! ci,v apartment. Late one afternoon he went skating up tlie river farther than Ikhad ever been before. He was starting hack, when he heard a series of long howls back in the woods. He. knew what that meant. and his heart seemed to stop for ai minute. He had listened to the lumbermen's stories about wolves. He skimmed down the river wilh long strokes. The woods on either side were still. Then again he heard the howling, (his time nearer. He was in sight now of the path leading from the rrver to the camp. He bent nearly double as he sped along. Then he jerked off his skates and started up the path. It. was almost dark and the path was hard to follow. Suddenly across the path ahead of him trotted a big gray shape. Bruce stopped, filled with horror. The animal came stealthily toward him. Bruce dropped his skates and climbed up the nearest tree. Ha settled himself on a safe branch and looked down. The wolf was waiting beneath him. He began to feel numb. He wondered how long he could last, and he shuddered. The coldness increased. After a while he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, he thought, and then A light flashed among the trees. The men from the camp, he decided wKh relief, were looking for him. He must warn them, so thev could shoot the wolf. He shouted j out In warning, but his voice was too husky. 1 The gray figure beneath him leaped forward, just as a man came infn tht plnnpinir It htirLrod ovnif.
