They soon reached the island of their destination and built a small hut of branches and twigs.

The boys lived here a few weeks until Tom and Joe grew homesick. Meanwhile at home a hunt was being made for the boys. The river was dragged everywhere, thinking they were drowned while swimming. Not being found, they were considered dead, and funeral services were planned. That night, when the other boys were sleeping, Tom ran home.

Arriving there, he hid, planning to surprise the family. Just then Aunt Polly came in and Mrs. Harper, Joe's mother, was with her. They sat near where Tom was hiding. Soon they were talking.

Tom heard every word. As soon as they left he ran back to where the boys slept, awoke them, and told what he had done and heard. Sunday arrived and everyone was gathered at the church to hear the services. They began. The minister was reading, with tears In his eyes.

All at once he stopped and his eyes fixed on a balcony pew. The people all glanced there and. lo and behold, there stood the very boys for whom the services were being held.

Many are his adventures In solving mysteries and outwitting pirates. One day after making a bad mistake In his work and being afraid to announce it, he goes to an old seaman's che.t that has always been in certain corner.

Imagine his amazement and suspicion when. Instead of a bottom in the chest, he sees a flight of steps leading downward. This Is an Interesting book that will be read by many, I'm sure. slon you have a strong natural tendency to write rhythmically. But this tendency cannot develop by itself.

You must practice often, read the writings of others who have written well, and try at every possible chance to Improve, strengthen and beautify your work. Your rhythm is confused, so that all we have sad to Ruth Is equally true In its application to you and your verse. Take those remarks to heart and how much good you can put them to. Just be patient and Industrious for a little while, then you will be sure to go ahead speedily Rain By Maryella Benjamin, Age 11, Lansing, Mich. (Knplirtli Miss Kneger.) It la raining out of doors today; I like to stay out of doors in the rain; When is it going to stop raining, I say? It will never stop raining.

The rain Is a naughty raio; makes puddles In the road; And you can't play any games In the rain, Ho I stayed In and sewed. For your first verse, this Is not really bad. Maryella. But in the first stanza, "rain" and "raining" do not make rhyme, but you have rhymes in the first and third lines. Then in the second stanza you have neglected to make the first and third lines rhyme.

This makes an awkward appearance, for when writing quatrain stanzas you should make all like the first in rhyme-scheme. Your rhythm, too, is confused, and you must follow our suggestions to Ruth, also.

Abbott Ornxset und Dunlap, PATRICIA EVERETT found a refugee French orphan, Rene, stranded in this country, and her father was glad to have the child visit them as a companion for Pat, whose mother was in the south.

Together with Sheila Qulnn, they joined the Girl Scouts, and the three chums not only had the jolly good times that belong to Scout life, but they found helpful work to do for their country. Indoor games, outdoor sports, a wonderful Christmas party given by the Girl Scouts, a winter camping party, and adventures such as lively young people will have as when Pat and Billy Lee broke through thin Ice make lively reading. Best of all, Pat and her chums had grown to be real Girl Scouts, a credit to that splendid organization, when Rene's family was found, and there is a happy ending to a jolly tale.

There are many more highly Interesting characters In the story, some of whom have alreadv made their debut in the other Penrod books. Both hoVfl RnH Crtrta will nnlnu this amusing tale which is full of aciivny anu nin. it is the story of a real boy who aspires to be a detective and goes about It in typical boy fashion. -one that we wish would become more popular with our young verse-writers.

The first and second lines rhyme together, and the third and fourth, and the fifth Is left un-rhymed. It is more lovelv still, nevertheless, when the fifth line also rhymes, and It Is not so much harder to find a rhyme for It, either the sound of the first two lines, or of the third and fourth. Some of your lines are trochaic with an added syllable, as, for Instance: When the ihruhii big tnA tall. while, others are iambic: 1 iiHtp to tb Hummer lr. etc.

You must bear in mind the necessity of writing In one rhythm and not several, mixed. It would be quite easy to make your verse perfect in either iambic or trochaic, but to mix both in this way Is not good, and so long as you do this you will not come into masteiy of the technique of verse-writing. So put asirle ail mixtures for the present, and write in one definite rhythm and one definite form. As for making the line: When the tiruti grow bit iin) t.ill. Into Iambic instead of trochaic, nothing could be easier.

There are various ways of doing It. starting by the simple one of merely prefixing And the shmtu fit tuli. But you could find more graceful and original ways of making the change. The chief thing is that after making it, you have pure iambic rhythm. So phrase your lines that their pronunciation creates the rhythm which is the natural result of short and long syllables alternating.

Start by a short (unaccented) syllable, then a long (accented) syllable, and keep on in this manner to the end of the line. Once you get the habit you are in no danger of losing it. Indeed, on the contrary, you are apt to get into the habit of expressing yourself thus so that it will be easy for you to spak in perfect iamb: rhythm half the time if it plea you to do so.
