l^After their conversation with the
man all tattered and torn, the chil
dren walked past the corn field to
,ward the preacher’s house, just as
that gentleman v as coming out the
'door. He walked down the lane
yawning great big yawns.
| "He looks as it he Just got
awake." said Danny,
i "He did," answered Emerald. The
farmer's rooster woke him up and
maybe he’s a little grumpy about
IL"
I "Let's go over and sneak to him,"
suggested Danny. "l’\e met every
body else we've seen here."
I “We can’t speak to him now,"
•aid Emerald, "for there are the
miik-maid and the hired men wav
ing to him and smiling. I guess
they are going to sneak to him
about the wedding. B it there Is
the farmer sowing his corn in the
field. Let's go over and see him ”
The farmer stopped sowing his
torn when he lew the children a*' 1
■aid, “Hello, Emerald! Who la
your little friend'"
"He Is Danny from the Earth,”
Emerald explains'1.
Danny said, "l.'ow do you do?”
and shook hands with the farmer.
The little girl continued, "I would
like D&nnv to aes the cock that
crows In the morning and wakens
everybody. Will yru tell us where
we shall find him?”
Before the farmer had time to
anver, they heard rooster
erowlag In the distance, a faint
”Kr-er-er-er-r-r-r-r."
I Suddenly Emerald scorned fright
euod and took Damy’s hand say
ing. "Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Without even looking at the farmer
•gala, the children tan so fast that
/nanny's feet didn’t seem to touch
the ground, and Emerald’s green
eurla stood out straight behind her.
The cock c owed again, louder
this time. "ER-R-R-ER-ER-"^.”
v Emerald cried frantically, "East
er, Danny, faster!" But poor Dan
ny was all out of breath. Then
Emerald called over her shoulder,
"Pee you later, Danny. Run toward
the corn field."
The corn field was not far away,
and Danny was soon there. But
Emerald was no longer with him.
Now he wondered, where had Em
erald gone and why? And what
was he going to do here In this big,
strange I^ind of Nod all by himself?
Before him was the corn field, and
behind him the green meadow
where the Sand Man had left him.
Ear away In the distance was the
pleasant forest, but Emerald had
told him not to go In there alone
or he would lose his way. , Poor
Danny did not know what to do.
He walked around In the gras*
and played with some grasshoppers.
Danny wondered If this was his
share of the trouble that Emerald
said he would have to bear.
Danny decided to walk a short
distance into ths corn field. The
corn was very tall. Oh, much
higher than Dnnny’a head. Aid
when he turned around to walk
back Into the meadow, suddenly he
Ci'uld not find the meadow and
tnere was nothing but corn atl
aiound him
Danny fe!t uncomfortable be
cause It was so quiet and all he
could see was corn. Corn over hit
head at d on all sides, looking very
dry and limp, with the leaves hang
in’ down at the side* of the stalk*.
It was getting dark and theta
wasn’t a sound. Dattnv felt fright
en".! now, b’raure he did not knew
what t< do or where to go. Then
Its noticed a huge stalk of core,
thicker and taller than all the
others.
The leaves of this giant cornstalk
were waving and Danny thought
they beckoned to hint. So he walk
ed inward it, Just to see what woul^
happen. v
tFr&nce)
You all remember, th&c la our
last story, Sam and Betsey and Mr.
Yin, who are still in France, went
to a country Fair just outside of
Faria. It was a most exciting day
for them, watching the huge crowds
•f people and farm animals walk
Back and forth acrostf the square
and, when the judges came out to
award the prizes for the best ani
mals, the big moment had arrived
for every one. First came the huge
farm horses, who were the de
scendants of the old-time war
Borses that carried armoured
knights out to battle. One great
fellow with his mane all plaited
with red ribbons, won the first prize.
After the horses came the cattle
and the donkeys, and the chickens,
and then the judges announced that
the next contest would decide the
•nest goose. One after the other
they were paraded by, some singly
-T-they were the biggest and some
t Hacks, all of them led by the
ys and girls who took care of
em at home. In a moment Sam
and Betsey saw the little French
Boy they had met at the bird mar
ket in Paris, and he was leading his
great fat goose, called Pierre. Gyp,
their little brown dog, saw the
goosa too. and shot out of Betsejr's
jobs like a bolt of lightning and
up to his old friend the goose,
qgirre, the goose, seemed very glad
l» see Gyp. Indeed he appeared to
forget all about the parade, for the
two of them, lu Bpite of all the little
French boy could do, went through
the most foolish antics together
that you ever saw. Gyp would
jump over the goose's back and
then they would run up and down
together In exactly the opposite di
rection of the parade. The crowd
roared with laughter, even the
Judges, these solemn old gentlemen,
were forced to smile, too. When
Gyp and the goose came in front of
the judges' stand, they both stop
ped; Gyp stood up as straight and
as quiet as he could, and then,
Pierre, the grey goose, jumped up
on Gyp’s back and was carried off
into the crowd. Needless to say,
the crowd was laughing and cheer
ing aud whistling so loudly, that
farmers ton miles away wondered
why It was thundering on so beau
tiful and clear a day! Pierre, the
grey goose, won the first prize of
course, and with Gyp came over to
Sam and Betsey. “You see,” cried
the little French boy, “I told you
they were great friends, and to
gether they win the first prize a
fine new rake and shovel, which we
will use on our farm.”
As our travelers, Sara and Petaey
and Mr. Van, climbed on board the
little train that took them bark to
Paris, they ^11 decided that tuajf
little dog, Gyp, was the hero of Ue
day, but by this time, Gyp *m
curled «p on a seat, fast aslee»v

The first time I saw Hildesheim,
Germany, twenty-four miles from
Hanover, I could not help but won
der what chance this quaint old
town would have to survive had it
been founded in the middle of a
Kansas prairie.
Most of the buildings, with their
Inverted pyramid construction, give
the Impression that even a “mild
cyclone” would tumble every house
right into the crooked streets.
Poesibly one reason for this an
cient construction was for security
against violent mobs surging
£ rough the narrow street*, in the
rk ages,' and for Increased
privacy for the occupants.
One wonders if these buildings
were uot in such an historic set
ting, that they would be condemn
ed as unsafe tenement dwellings,
and a WPA housing project in
stituted! Which all goes to prove
that beyond a certain point of util
ity, a thing increases in beauty
and charm, which is reflected in the
happy, contented people who man
age to live Quite modern lives in |
this one thousand year old town.
The centre building above, is
known as the “Zuckerhut," which
means “sugar'* loaf hat, apd tho
it is four hundred years old, stlil
