She could understand the Indian language and heard them say they would attack the ranch that night. She then rode home and told her father. When she finished her father looked white and haggard and said: “The men are all in town. 1 must get my horse and ride after them.” “No,” cried Judith, “I will go.” Before the man could thinlk, 'was on_her horse and galloping away. She had not ridden far when she heard a yell and, losking behind her, she saw the Indians coming, for they had heard her horse. Meanwhile, the other Indians had taken a'shert cut, tied a piece of rope across the path, and, when she came by, tripped her horse. Then everything looked black in front of Judith and when she awoke, she found herself in a tent, with her b tied back of her, and an Indian sitting in the tent near her. After a while the Indian she went to sleep, 50 she got her hands untied. crept out of the tent, got her horse and started on her way home. On the way she met her father and came back and killed the Indians and then they went home. After this adventure happily ever affer, JANE CARRUTHERS, Age 13 New London.

One afternoon a boy was resting un- det a shady tree lazily wasting his tithe while his work laid undone. The Buzz buzz of a4 busy honey- maker, the chirps of a busy cricket and the hop of a husy grasshopper storing away food for the winter, all this made the boy feel strange. “After a moment’s thought he rose from his resting place, saying: “These never to be idle, and that lesson once learned shall never be forgotten.” NOELLA MERCIER, Age 12.
