He threw down a parachute with a message attached to it saying he hoped all the children were nappy and having a good time. He flew so low that we could see him. He shut off the motor and whistled to us.

Then he circled around us and finally landed In the ocean down by Rauch's Beach, but we could not see him very well. He hacked up a Uttle ways, so that we could see him. He then flew down toward Long Beach. Miss Freeze called up the air station and told him to land in the water at 3 p.m.. so that we could all see him.

operation. Some wonderful work is being done there. A few days ago a boy came running Into my office and said: "Hello, Aunt Jean! I'm Joseph. Don't you know me?" I said: "Let me see! Where did I meet you?" He answered: "I was at Wave Crest when you were there and I told you I would come to see you as soon as I was well, and here I am." Joseph is 11 years old. He was paralyzed In both legs when he was months old.

He was operated on a number of times and now he is well and can run and jump just as any other boy who has never been paralyzed. I put my arm around Joseph and thanked God for our hospitals, nurses, doctors and convalescent home. I told him how happy I was to see him so straight and strong.

BESIEGED BT INDIANS. A lew years ago some girls and I went ramping on the edge of a river, on what we thought was a deserted island. One night we were In the tents, just about to get ready tor a night's rest, when I looked around and saw an arrow stuck in the side of the tent. I screamed. All of the girls were startled.

As soon as they could, they came running toward me. I could not talk, but I pointed toward the arrow. Before anything else could happen an Indians head came through the window. I threw the brush which I had In my hand at nun. but he was too quick for me.

He dodged it. I looked around and saw a whole tribe of Indians coming toward us. I thought of people being scalped, and then I fainted. When I came to I saw some of the girls standing with the Indians and laughing and some pouring water on me. Later I found out the Indians were movie people and that they were taking a picture on the island.

Eleanor ForstelL AN AWFUL DREAM. One night, when I had been tucked snugly In my bed and Mother had kissed me goodnight. I saw a huge shadow on the wall. I quickly ducked my head under my pillow and soon ni fast asleep. Then I dreamed I was learning to swim.

I was being taught by a man I did not know. He was very kind to me. but when all of a sudden he threw me away out in the water I did not know what to do. so I started pushing my arms out and pulling them back. Soon I reached a stray log.

I climbed onto it. When I got settled I found I was nowhere near land. Boon a bis wave knocked the log over and I feU off. I thought I would never stop going down. "Freddie, get up!" I did not know where I was.

I opened my eyes and, oh! wasn't I glad I was safe in bed? Fred Monsees. MT PETS AT HOME. I have a pet guinea pig at home by the name of Jerry. He Is the cutest pet I ever had. When I call him he always an swers.

"Queek! Queek!" back to me. I have trained mm to siana on his hind legs for lettuce and celery. When the days are warm I leave him out in the front yard, which is full of nice green grass. He loves to run and hide behind the bushes with his bright eyes peeking out. Sometimes I give him a real treat of chopped tur nips and carrots.

I also have another pet wnicn is a oreea 01 prairie wolf and coyote. Het name Is Queenie. She came from Oklahoma. She plays with me whenever I play with a ball and carries my papers and packages from the store. Queenie is a beautiful animal of light tan color with a light gray breast and under body.

Whispering to the trees bending o'er. The brook rushes to the tranquil bay, Laughing, playing, singing wiU the wind. And gladly rippling along Its way. Through forests echoing songsters calls, And trees treading ways la Nature's feet, Through grassy meads where cattle chew their cud, And rolling plains of amber-golden wheat. Lucy Ucha.
