DEAR JACK: One day, Rob and I (he's my brother) heard sister
Welthy screaming awfully. We were playing in the barn, but of
course we rushed out as hard as we could to save her life, if
possible. We did not know where she was, but the screams grew
louder as we neared the house.
At last we found her near the side-door--and what do you think was
the matter?
Why, she was screaming at a turtle!

You don't know how funny it did seem. But we captured the dreadful
monster (?) and comforted her as well as we could.
Now, Jack, as you and the Little Schoolma'am can do everything,
wont you please get ST. NICHOLAS to show us a picture of this
scene? I do believe Sis would laugh as hard as any of us if she
could see it.--Yours affectionately,
