This girl's name was Helen, She was thinki of what the other gifls had told her about seeing fairies in these same woods. She sat down and feeling sfeepy she leaned against a tree. Suddeénly she was much surprised to feel something open behind her. Turning around she saw a little creature no bigger than a flea standing in the doorway of a little door. Suddenly she felt herself grow small, and heard a voice say, "My dear, you are in Fairyland.” Helen was astonished and looki in frent of her saw on a throne thé queen of the fairie anged,” continued “You have been the queen, “into one of ourselves, and Y0u are a princess. You was stolen by a dwarf from your homie.” : “No, you don't, my dear queen, T am here!” ‘and standing in the Goorway stood a very ugly looking dwarf. Then he cried, “Come with me,” to Helen. Before she could think she was in a castle with the dwarf in front of her. “ You shall stay here” he cried, “and,” but before he could finish his sentence, a_door opened and out came a prince and killed the dwart. The prince took Helen on his horse and just before he road away Helen woke up and found herself setting near the tree where the door had been. So she got up and ran home. and that was the end of Helen's foolish | dream. JANE CRUTHERS, Age 13. New London. Billy. Near grandpa’s farm is a wood, The children often go there and bring home handsful of pretty flowers. One day little Bessie begged mamma to let her o to the woods alone. When Bessie reached the edge of the woods she saw a great, tall white thing mov- ing about among the trees. She though it_was a ghost. Frightened, Bessie ran ail the way home. She 'rushed into the house, hatless and breathless, her cheeks red and her eves swollen with crying . Mamma bathed her hot cheeks and comforted her little girl. After she had rested mamma went with her to the woods and showed her that the tall, dreadful thing was only grand- pa’s white horse, Billy. Billy was glad to see mamma. He let her pet him, and gave Bessie a ride home on his back. MARIE TOMAMO, Age 12. Norwich. The Cedar Waxwing. Among our useful birds are the cedar waxwing, who take the word cedar from the fact that he is seen mostly in the cedar tree; and he gets the word waxwing from the fact that the ends of his wings are tipped with red like sealing wax.

And next you've got to do all my arithmetic for me this week, and do them correctly, too! “Yes, Willie,” again answered little fellow. The next day Willie came to school with two papers which satisfied the teacher very much.

The nest is built in an apple, cherry or cedar trees some four feet from the ground. It is a very bulky affair, made out of twigs, rags and grasses. The mother bird lays three or four eggs of a bluish- purple color. The waxwing is a very useful bird, as it eats all sorts of insects and has been known to eat thousands of these pests. it sits in the tree singing its whis- pering song, crest in the air, and as they sit in a row they look like some ancient and solemn court. VINCENT JOY, Age 12. Plainfield. Jim, the Boy Scout of Ame Jim belonged to the Bov Sceuts for one year, but he did not have the suit, This was his second year and he was £0ing to have his euit. Then they had 1o g0 to camp and rest for a while till they went to another camp. The German scouts were there with their aeroplanes in the air, The scouts had all the fires lit and as Jim was on his back looking up in an aeroplane. He called to the other men and thev went | in_the trench. The Germans went to tell their men but when they came back théy could not find the place, because Jim had put out all the fires. Some were scared when they heard the aeroplanes humming in the afr, but Jim <aid to them: “Don't make any | | noise and they won't hear you and they can't destroy our camp.” Thescouts kept still for quite a long time. then the noise of the flying ma- chines was not heard.

One day as Willie Duly sat en his! seat at school he happened to look up | and he saw that the teacher's back| was turned toward him. In his hand he had a small piece of chalk which he | had found. He was a very mischievous boy and no sooner had he thought of throwing the chalk at the teacher than | he threw it. It hit her squarely on the head.

And the next day Willie hought himself a base- ball suit and coming out of the store e said “Gee! t's lucky I had that chalk to throw at the teacher.” LORANDA HEBERT, Age 1. Plainfield. The Young Outlaw. The midhight stage came in the Ht- tle town of Devil's Cluck and reported about the holdup at Pike's Turn. When they were asked for a description of the ones who held them up they said that it must be a boy of about 15, as he was no more than five feet and his shoulders were not so broad as a man’s. The sheriff ordered the posse to go out and search Pike's Turn. They left the village and it was after dawn when they returned, but had seen no one. They surrounded Pike's Turn. There was a boy in thé saloon who listened carefully fo_what was going on. His name was Bill Band. | That night just about a half hour after the midnight stage had left, Bill Band was not to be'seen. The next| morning the sheriff said that this must be stopped at once. He had published posters for the capture of the voung| outlaw at Pike's Turn would receive | $39,000.

Once thare lived in the cel big yellow houf® a family of mice. mother went out in the nightiime to the day somebody might see her and Kill her. So for this reason the old mouse had warned her babies not to} go out while she was away. One day she was forced to go out in the daytime to get food for hér ba- bies. Of course, she told them not to, stir from the nest until she came home. Now one of these babies’ name was Frisky and he was very naughty. After his mother got out of sight he told his brothers and siters that he was going to see what the rooms up- stairs looked like. His sisiers told him that if he went that the big black cat that the people upstairs had would catch him and eat him up. He said he wasn't afrald of any Dlack cat and that he was going for a walk just the same. He jumped out of the pest and ran through a hole in the wall and found that he was in the kitchen. He jump- | od upon the table and knocked the! dishes off upon the floor. When he got off of the table he ran under the stove right into the big black cat's paws. The big black cat ate the naughty mouse all up. When Frisky mouse did not come home his mother knew what had happened to him. This also taught a lesson to His brothers and sitsers and they never went out of their nest unless their mother said they could_go. ISADELL HOWARD, Age 15 New London. A Narrow Escape.
