Dear THE WIZARD friends: This is your book and from it I hope You will Hain unendins pleasure That only happy hearts can count And thoushtful minds can treasure. Now, as I write these very words, A host of things and persons rise And pass, a marching multitude, Before my wondering eyes. They salute me aswthey pass along, Then softly fade away. These things are drawings and stories and poems, And jokes of every kind. There, my friends, I've written about This picture in my mind. So, take this good book as a friend In whose heart I know you'll find A store of many enjoyable times. Very truly, Lila SUNSET When the sun doth shed its slow, On the tired earth belowg You can see its mauves and reds As it sinks into its bed. Then the waves of ebbinq day, Roll in ripples in their wayg Sprinklins their cheery glow around 'On sea and earth and sky and ground. Far off through ferned dell and glen These lovely colors in one all blend. And with the sky in muddy mire, These hues create a livins fire. And then when day is nearly done, These mixed shades fade one by one And go to other countries, where Dwells the silver fox and bear. Eileen Wilson L9 Aho L9

THE MYSTERY OF THE HEAVY FOG This story takes place in the'slums of London in a much dreaded hotel. Into this dreaded place many people are dragged as the big London fog covers the city, and for their night's lodging, they pay with their lives. a The mystery of this place has for long been unsolved. Every night as the clock strikes twelve, the whole side wall of room 16 slides open and a weird bat-like creature appears, and with long dangling arms it grasps its victim and rips him to bits. - One night when a detective was late coming to headquar- ters, he was dragged in, and by some mistake was thrown into room 15 instead of 16. When the fatal stroke of twelve came, he Was aroused by a curious sliding noise, that of the wall moving. He immediately went out into the hall and peeked through the keyhole, and saw a sight never seen before. He Was wise and wrote things down as he saw them, but in his haste to get away, he tripped and that terrible murdering creature grabbed him and added another to its long list of ghastly murders. But the note luckily was found and it turned out to contain the clue to the mystery. A noted scientist who was in the district at that time, was called to the rescue. So the next night be brought a dummy with a deadly gas in it that would kill man or beast and which he put in the fatal room instead of himself. Then when the fatal stroke of twelve came that bat-like creature again came to murder, but as it hit savagely at the dummy, the gas was released. It seemed to be dazed for a minute, and it threw itself into a terrible temper but it finally could not withstand the pressure and fell to the floor dead. Now since that evil creature is dead, people are begin- ning to come into the hotel without fear. James Murphy H8 A CATASTROPHE .

Now, the two children usually played amiably enough but they had off days. This was one of them. The disagree- ment occurred when Barbara wished to play house. Bobby raised a howl at this, but Barbara just placed a doll in the unwill- ing arms of Bobby.She left the room to get some more parapher-
