That night after school was over, she sent for Tommy, to stay after school because she had promised any boy or g’rl who could be kind to any animal first she would give a prize. Then she sald, “You get the prize.” GRETCHEN SMITH. West Casper, Grade 4; age 8. It was a bad night in June and we had one of those drizzly rains.

Johnny and his companions waited for an hour, and presently the rob- bers returned in a car. They covered the robbers with their guns, and had them put in jail, The mechanics pleaded “not guilty" and they were released. The robbers were sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary. Johnny got as a reward five hun- red dollars. Johnny had already left the land ing field with the mail, when Lieu tenant James Cole landed in his scout plane. He jumped out and towards the office, and said to the captain, “I've seen bandits over in the hills and they fired at me. They had a big plane, and had the engine} going.

They went over and found Johnny's face covered with blood, and the mail gone.

They didn’t fight like some little rabbits do. One Easter morning they got up very early, and made some nests, Then they got some eggs. They were all sorts of colors. There was a little sick girl living near, so the little bunnies picked some flowers and put them in a bas- ket and slipped into the house and set the basket by the bed. Then they went home and went to bed again. The lttle girl saw the, flowers by the side of the bed. When she awoke up, she was very happy. LAVOICE McPEEK.

SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 1923. Bunny's Adventure Bunny was a@ very good little rab. bit. His grandma would often sa “Funny Nose is going to be like hj, father.” ’ One day bunny became very oyri. ous. He did not want to play wits the other bunnies but sat around alone. All the neighbors became curious about his actions. One day his mother asked him what was ths matter, but bunny would not tell, Now the trouble was this: 15 longed to see the world and what it was all about, for he had only been in the green forest and around tho singing brook so he was very gusted with everything. The forest folk had told him many wonderty| things, especially Sammy Jay, who had been everywhere and told him many stories about the city. You see Funny Nose had never been in the city and longed to be there. A, he was coming home he thought ot a plan, and this is what'it was: tie was going to run away from his home. It was a naughty thought ana Funny Nose knew it but that time hs didn’t care. So he decided to run away th: | night. Yes, sir, run away from his | mother and father, sisters and broth. ers and maybe not see them any more. But that thought did not come jinto Funny Nose's little head: He thought that he would see many wonderful things in the world. That night at supper time, he was gone. Where could he be? This was |the very first time Funny Nose had been away at supper time, and of course, it was a very puzzling thing. Funny Nose’s mother cried and cried, but it did not do any good for none of them thought of Funny Nose's running away. So the next day they sent bunnies around to see if he had fallen asleep. They al® came back with the same answer, “‘no.”” At last Funny Nose's mother was sick over the loss of her son. One day whom should she meet but Funny Nose himself. Where could he have been? Nobody knew, but everybody was so glad of his coming back that they asked him many questions. But he was s0 sleepy thaty# he fell asleep in his mother's lap amt” ! answered none of them. VIRGIE SPRAGUE. Park, Grade 6. The Once there were two little girls. One of them was a rich selfish gir! named Ruth. The other little girl was a kind good girl named Betty. One morning Betty woke up, and what did she see? An Easter bunny was on her bed, with a basket of eggs for her. When Ruth woke up there were no Easter eggs for her. The bunnies knew that she was a naughty girl, so they didn’t bring her any Easter eggs. Easter Betty went to Ruth's house to show her all the Easter eggs. Ruth was sorry be- cause she didn’t get any eggs, and said that she would be a good girl after that. Easter Bunny THELMA GUTHRIE. North Casper, Grade 3.
