(Prize Story.) ] Mystery of the Bald Head. By Evelyn Kuhry, Aged 11 Years, Schuyler, Neb. Blue Side. It was a bright June morning and| mother had our suitcase packed and| we were going to celebrate my eighth | birthday by going 500 miles away to visit my grandparents, When we arrived we were quite disappointed to find dear old grandpa was not at the depot, but grandma and auntie were there to met us. « We had a very pleasant visit and we were | to meet firandpa at Chicago on our return and visit with him a few days. As we neared the hotel we knew | grandpa would be sitting out in one| of the chairs waiting for us. Sudden-| Iy T exclaimed: “Mother, I see him,” and Iiran up,| { put my hands over his eyes, kissed | his bald head and said, “Guess who it is?” He didn't answer for a mo- ment and [ said, “Guess, guess!” but he couldn’t. [ then ran around in iront of him to show him it was his little granddaughter, and, to my sur- prise, I kissed some other little girl's bald-headed grandpa. | (Honorable Mention.) School Days. Glee Gardner, Aged 13, 2605 North Sixty-second Street. Blue Side. I have not written to the page for quite a while, so I lhough!q would write on my favorite topic. During the summer 1 wander around doing as I please and going where I please. But now school has come and duty ‘walks across my path. I don’t mind it a bit. 1 have quite a few lessons to get because I am in eighth B. We are studying “The Mer- chant of Venice,” and our reading teacher, Miss Reap, is certainly a good one. Everyone in our class likes her very much and she is a gen- eral favorite among all the classes. Some of us girls have a club and’ we are going to give an entertain- ment. Our class is going to give a wiener roast, and we expect to have a fine time. I am taking physiology and am so very interested in the processes of finding the bacteria and how to take care of the body. Miss Whiteley is also an interesting teacher. Do you think 1 will be too old to write stor- ies to The Bee when I get in high school? I will be 14, Well, as I have my arithmetic to do, I will close, hop- ing to hear from the editor. (Honorable Mention.) My Pet Robins, By Ella Riha, Aged 8 Years, Dwight, Neb: ‘Red Side. One:day my sister and I went to the orchard for some apples. We found a nest of little robins. Every day w¢ helped the mother and father robins to feed their babies.. We always dug| some fish worms and put them in a little basket and hung it on a branch’ near the nest. Then we watched the birds getting the worms; we kept do- ing this, until one day we came to feed the birds, They were all gone. I was very sorry. I guess it was my old black cat which killed them, be- cause they were too young to fly away. This is my first story, and is a true one.

By Myrtle A, Ostrander, Aged 14 ‘ears. Spade, Neb. Blue Side. There are about fifteen pupils in This was quite a num- ber for a country school. In the short winter days we somtimes got just half an hour noon. So one day we children asked our teacher if we might go skating. She said: “Can you go so far in just half | an hour?” Then we asked her if we | could have an hour noon. She| studied over both questions a minute or so and then answered, “Yes, you may go; also have an hour for noou; but how will you know when it's We told her we would guess at the time and not stay too long. Then she said she would | go with us. This was all talked over while we were eating our dinner, Now we had all finished our din- ner and all were ready to start. Sev- eral of us had skates. The pon was about three-quarters of a mile from the school house. ing down another girl and [ walked with the teacher. She did not walk fast, so we couldn’t have any fun running and playing. The other chil- dren ran ahead. We were all talking about how much fun we would have when we got there. When we got there the ice was thawed so badly that we could not skate. We tried, but the skates would not slide. The teacher said: “Let's sce which of you can run to the end of the pond the quickest.” Five others besides myself started, but none of us hac wind enough to run that distance. | The teacher said it was time to go| home. So we all started for the school house. Several of us got there before the teacher did. So we had considerable fun. We all studied hard after our fun. Thanks for Prize Book.

By Oliver Olson, Age 12, Leigh, Neb, Blue Side. One day as I was standing out in the trees I heard a noise. I looked up to see what it was, and it was a timber squirrel. Then it came down the tree, with two nuts in its mouth, At the bottom of the tree it dropped them. Then he picked up one in his mouth and ran about ten feet. Then he hc?‘an to dig and every once in a while he would put the nut in the hole until he had it big enough so the dirt would cover it, then he put the nut in the hole and covered it to get it solid. Then he went back to the glmmmuummmun e i i £ Hat Shop Welcomes Ak-Sar-Ben Visitors. While attending the Ak-Sar-Ben yo are invited to visit Omaha's most ex. clusive millinery shop.

The Runaway Horse. By Elva Bray, Aged 12 Years, Arca- dia, Kleh. Red Side. I enjoy reading the stories from our page. I live two miles and one-half from school. I am in the Seventh grade. My teacher's name is Miss Wilson. Six years ago my sister and I started to school. It was far to walk, so we rode one of our horses, and he is not any too gentle, because he gets scared pretty easily. . The wind came up very strong that day and going home that night there was a paper in the grass at the side of the road and when we got on this side of the paper it blew up in front Own Page of the horse and he began to run and | threw my sister and I' off. My sister was unconscious for about ten minutes. The horse ran on as fast as he could till he got out of sight and then he stopped in a ‘cornfield to eat corn, and when I started toward him he went farther out in the cornfield. When we got home I told papa and he went after him. But I don't think we will ever see him again, because we sold him three | years ago to Mr. Smith and Mr, Smith sold him to a horse buyer and he was taken to war, ‘This is my first story and is a true one. When I Was a Penny. By Marie Swallow Aged 10 Years, Butte, Neb. Red Side. | | | T was made in a mine in Montana. | One day T was given to a little boy | for his birthday. He took me down town and bought some candy and gave me to a man. He put me in a drawer. I saw a lot of other pennies, but four of them didn’t look like me. They had an Indian head on them, | the rest had a Lincoln head on them | like me, | We hegan to talk. All at once we | were jerked terribly., I asked what that was, and they said “only a man i}mtling some money in the drawer." ust then something knocked me over and another penny was in the drawer. We began talking again when we were jerked again and T was taken fout and given to a little boy. He took me out of the store and dropped me in some water. It was awfully cold. He looked around but he could not find me and then be began cry- ing and ran home, f‘rvlty soon two childred came and began wading in the water One of them saw a shining piece in it and took me out of the water and washed me off, They 'showed me to their mother and told her how they found me. She took me and put me in the cupboard, Then this little girl's brother got me and put me in his saving bank with a lot of other pen- nies, We lay there for a long time. At last we were taken out and put in a package and we were sent to Har- rishurg, because every Lincoln penny was to be sent to Harrisburg. We were made’ ir*~ shots for the war for their guns, and then we were sent to Europe and used by Germany in her Zeppelin raids on London, Needed a Brake, Farmer Hans was In search of & horss. “I have the very thing you want' sald the stableman, “a thoroughgolng road horse.
