A Special Northland Competition “Have you posted that letter. Kupe?” asked the Princess. “There’s been no reply and 1. wrote in nearly a fortnight ago.” And then I had a twinge of conscience. The letter was Gill in my coat pocket! Happily Kim, the dog-, brought a large bone in just then, and the Princess forgot her letter in preventing him from making a dining table of the sitting-room carpet. “Better late than, never,” I thought, as I took the letter to She post office soon after. But there was an unpleasant surprise awaiting me. \ ‘ fa my pocket some of the letters of the address had rubbed off and the grand result was something like this: M . P P. e sc .rin Sir.,, awr. Of course the dots indicate Where letters had rubbed out. Hawera I puzzled and puzzled, and then I got it out. The letter was for Mrs P. Petersen com - eti ’ tion The envelope was duly re-addressed and posted. But it gave me an excellent idea to. a cempeb >» From the rods of the Rape Club we've selected at random the names and addresses of thirty ' Some cf the letters have been replaced by dashes. Your job Is to play postman and try to Hunk ott. the Write these in a list running down the page, and at the top of the first s'heet of paper give your name, address and age. For any name and address you are urrahle to puzzle out, Insert a dash oppos.te its number. Half crown prizes are offered for the best work in this competition, which closes a fortnight from to-d.,y.
