Ong day I was tired. I climbed into a flower, but I did not nqmice that it was one that closed up in the evening. I fellrasleep, and when I woke up the flower was closed. Of course mother was alarmed. I would have had to stay there un- til morning, but this elf heard me and opened the flower. I thanked him and hurried to mother.U Then she said, HI think it is time to go home. I shall take you to the edge of the forest.U She led them back, and then everything seemed to vanish. Bobby said, HI'll bet mamma won't believe us when we tell her about our trip to fairyland.W UYes, she will,U said Betty. HI have found a piece of Tinkle's dress which she tore on the bush when she left.U Then the twins ran home to tell their mother about their visit to fairyland. ' Jane Schmidt L7y'--Miss Truman THE ESCAPE OF TOPSY My small cousin, Betty, paid me a visit one afternoon, and we amused ourselves by playing with my white Persian cat, Omar, and by coaxing my canary, Topsy, to sing for us. Suddenly my mother called me to run an errand for her. My cousin wished to stay and watch the canary so I left her in the company of my pets and-went alone. When I returned a few minutes later, Betty was missing. I called her but she didn't answer. Just then I heard a noise behind me and as I turned I saw Omar upon the top of the piano. At the same time I saw that Topsy was missing from his cage and had flown to the top of the floor-lamp near the piano. Omar was just ready to leap upon him, when I rushed over and ihasedphim away. Then I rescued my frightened Topsy and locked im safely in his cage. When I called Betty again, she came creeping timidly out from behind a big chair. I knew by the way she acted that it was she who had opened the door of Topsy's cage, but since Topsy was safe again I did not scold her. Dorothy Wurnitsch L7yH--Miss Truman V.

She woke up early the next morning, and thought it better to get up while every one else was in bed. She arose and dressed very quickly. She then went to her closet, got the red coat, and went downstairs into the parlor. Her father had gotten up and was out milking the cows. He had built the fire in the parlor. She threw the coat into the fire, went back to her bedroom, undressed, and went to bed, so no one would know she had been up. . When her brother got up, he told everybody that a robber had been there that night and had stolen his coat. The family pretended to be very sorry, but they were glad. PGSSY Ann did not tell him it was she who had stolen the coat. Fred was very angry, because he knew that he could not get another, and the governor would think he had turned against him. La Yon Standley I,7y'--Miss Truman A VISIT TO FAIRYLAND One day when Bobby and Betty were walking through the woods they found a golden penny. V ' HQuick, Betty,U said Bobby, Hdraw three circles around it and we will get to go to fairyland.H Betty quickly drew three circles around the penny. As she did so, the whole forest seemed to change. There were fairies and fairy homes. The twins were speechless. Then they saw one of the fairies come toward them holding out her hands. HCome with me,U she said. UMy name is Tinkle. I shall show you fairyland.n A She took them by the hand and led them away through the forest. They passed many fairies and fairy homes. Then they came to a group of poppies. There curled up in one of the pop- pies half asleep was a little elf. When he heard them he sat up and rubbed his eyes. UHello! Where are you going?U he asked. , ' HI am going to show these mortals what fairyland looks like,U answered Tinkle. Uwell I guess I shall go along,U the little elf said. He got out of his flower home and went-off with them. Soon they came to the cutest house of all. Tinkle said that that was where she lived. NI wonder if the Cotton-tail family is at home,W said the elf. uLet's go and see.U . The Cotton-tail family wasn't at home so Tinkle said that she would tell them a story. This is what she told them.

THE TEN CENT WEDDING RING UHOW much do wedding rings cost?W asked Jimmy Harper of WChunkeyW March. - nOh, 'bout a hundred dollars,U Chunkey replied. UA hundred dollars! Whew! I wan'ed to marry Katie Doran, but all I could afford would be ten cents,U said Jimmy for- lornly. Jimmy and Ohunkey were both nine years old and lived in the little town of Weston. Ever since Jimmy had been at school, he had kept his eye on Kate Doran. Only the other day, Katie reminded Jimmy that her birthday was on Friday, and of course, Jimmy had to deprive himself of chocolate sodas and cream puffs for a few days. It was now Thursday afternoon, and Jimmy was going shope ping. HHow much is that there ring?U asked Jimmy of the clerk in the Ten Cent store, pointing out a large glassy stone with a brass band. UThat is ten cents, sir,H replied the clerk. Hwell, I'1l take it,N said Jimmy. The next afternoon, Katie stepped up to him and said, HDid you buy me a birthday present, Jimmy?W UYes, but maybe it's not as swell as what some of the other kids gave you, b-but here it is,U and Jimmy ran as fast as he could towards home. On Saturday, he chanced to meet Katie at the meat market and she told him that she thought her ring was the nicest present of all. Several years elapsed, and James Harper found himself go- ing to the state university. Tonight was the Senior Hop, and James had invited Katheryn to go with him. As the evening was warm, the couple stepped outside. VDO you remember the ring I gave you a long time ago? Well I can afford something better now,H he said, taking a small package from his pocket. NHere it isfn Katheryn was so delighted and surprised she could hardly speak, but she opened her purse and said, NI want you to know that I appreciate the new one, Jimmy, but this will always be dearer to me,U and she produced the ten cent wedding ring from her purse' Renee Mattingly L9y'--Miss Truman HIGHWAYS Highways mean as much to me, As to any traveler.
