Bobby opened the gate Joyfully when Hans agreed to sell the goat and patted the goat on the neck. The goat, tired and dusty, felt f grateful for that touch just as Billy had felt and when Bobby said, "Come on," It followed gladly. "Ill bring you the money right away," said Bobby. "Come on," he called again to the goat, and ran back to the barn. Running into Eily's stall, he said: "Billy, my boy, I've brought a new friend for you and I want you to be good to thlg stranger." With that, the strange goat came in after him and Billy leaped up with a bleat of,joy. The new goat wa3 his mother! Bobby ran back to the house to

get his money, leaving the two goats together, and they had so

much to tell each other at once that neither one of them heard

very much what the other was say

attention to where his mother was explaining how she had just been sold to Bobby. "Wai(; a minute." said Billy, "did you say that man was out there now?" v "Yes,' 'answered his mother. "Bobby just went to get him some money." "Wait right here a minute," said Billy. "I owe him something for throwing me overboard into the sea, and I always like to pay my

debts." Out of the barn he ran, through the gate, down the drive, and he cleared the road gate with a pretty jump. Then he wheeled to where

again!" yelled Hans. Billy did not stop to answer him. He just trotted back, jumped over

the gate and hurried on to the barn to talk to his mother afcout their splendid home. Copyright, by the Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron, O.

When the Maytime flowers bloom,

Carpeting the field and hill, Bend above their sweet perfume. Touch the petals if you will; But leave them on the field and hill. Now that violets are here,

Hiding in the mossy dell, Be glad that beauty is so near And love their dainty fragrance well: But leave them on the mossy dell.

When the summer daisies come, Whitening the rolling field, While the bees above them hum, Enjoy the beauty that they yield; But leave them in the rolling field. For careless folk are robber-like Who spoil the beauty of the wood, And come in laden from a hike With hJooms "whose life is gone for good; They were so lovely in the wood.

THE YELLOW QUEEN

CHAPTER rV When Shorty went to bed that night he wondered why it was the Masked Man wanted to know what time he was going to the fields. Pretty soon he went to bed. Shorty got up In the morning and went down to his breakfast. Then he got on his hat and coat and started off for the fields on his horse, Prince. When he got to Big Bend In the

road, he heard a horse coming

back of him. He turned around

There was a masked man after him. He started to gallop, but to his surprise, there were three in front of

him with guns.

He said, to himself, "I will have

to get out of here! He started up the side of the Big Bend, but there

were three more masked men.

The leader told two men to

bring Shorty to him. Shorty then came, but the man didn't kill him, but gave him warning that a gang of men were down at Crooked Snake, waiting for some one, and he thought they might be waiting for him. He told Shorty he was his friend, then they all went away

so fast Shorty thought they had vanished into- the air. He went to take the other road but he got caught by a guard of

the Masked Mans gang. They took him to a large ravine and let him down part way by a rope, then put a fire under Jthe rope so it would burn the rope and he would fall into the river at the bottom of the ravine. Does Shorty get killed? Who saves him? (To be Continued) Virginia Rogers, 7A grade, Garfield Junior High school.

MOORE KINDERGARTEN

A very agreeable mud turtle has

come to live in the Joseph Moore

school, near the kindergarten room,

It was given to the room by Lewis

Schwab, who found it and has had it for a pet for sometime. The children decided to call it Lewis because he gave it to them. They like to watch its eyes with the magnifying glass. Lewis also brought over two little baby Belgian hares recently for the children to play with until the end of school. They are delighted when the children feed them clover. Four Canary Eggs In Nest

Billy and Betty, the canaries, which have belonged to Joseph Moore for over a year now, are attracting many children to their cage. There are now four little

eggs in the nest which Betty sits on very carefully to keep them warm. The baby canaries are expected to hatch about the first week in May. Each one child in the kindergar

ten brings the hard boiled yolk of

an egg to feed the canaries. All the children are eager to see the little birds and watch them grow. Last year there were five eggs in the nest, and though two of the birds died, three lived to be grownup birds and were sold.

THE. SWE TIME

May Baskets About eight o'clock Sam slipped out of his back door without letting any one know his mission. In one had he carried a May basket of pink crepe paper, that contained apple blossoms and chocolate candy with a note hidden in it for Maybelle Maxfleld. In the other

hand Sam carried a similar, pink paper basket, but it held an onion, a lemon and an "old maid" comic valentine, intended for Miss Skalem, the much-despised school teacher. Sam never knew just how it happened," but the moment he rang the doorbell Miss Skalem opened her door. He shoved a basket into her hand and started to run. Then he realized Miss Skalem was following him. He never dreamed she was young enough to run so fast. Then a wire around a flower bed caught Sam's foot and he sprawled, throwing the other basket far from him as he fell. "Come In and have some cake," Miss Skalem wa3 very nearly out of breath as she ran nn. hut hpr

tone was surprisingly kind. She grasped Sam's shoulder and In a daze he followed her into her living-room. In the bright light he saw that Miss Skalem held the apple blossom and chocolate cream basket in her hand. ThenSam realized that he was being Introduced to some one. "This is Mrs. Maxfield and her daughter Maybelle," said Miss Skalem. "Isn't he a dear boy to bring me such a lovely May basket" She lifted the blossoms and passed the candy. "Oh, here's a note," she cried, and she slowly read aloud from Sam's srrawlv

writing; "You are as beautiful as the flowers and as sweet as the candy." Sam felt himself sinking. "I guess you didn't exactly mean that, 'laughed Miss Skalem. But, Sam, looking solemnly at Maybelle, answered, "Yes, I did!" Boys and -Girls Newspaper. L. T. L. MEETS SUNDAY
