As walked along I realized the day was a little hot There wa a cool breeze blowing though and it eased the heat a little. Along the way there were wild flowers. I never did think of picking them, they were so pretty. -We kept walking and as we rounded a bend Lake Chabot could be seen. The Chabot dam looked very small.

I imagine it is very large when you near it A few minutes were spent by us under the horses' feet. The Scout ran to get the ring but the Scoutmaster" said, "Jim, in liner" But Jim picked the dog up and took it home with him. Jim's father asked, "What happened, son?" Then he saw, the hurt dog.

A queer black light "is seen in the streets. Even if the light was black as night it showed as plain as day. The people said it was "spirits coming to take over the world, but the young people said the light was going to take away all the children. But the children didn't say anything.
