The personal column was well looked after by Miss Sara Stanley and the story page has been a marked success under the able management of Mr. Peter Craig , to whose original story in this issue , `` The Battle of the Partridge Eggs , '' we would call especial attention . The Exciting Adventure series has also been very popular . And now , in closing , we bid farewell to our staff and thank them one and all for their help and co-operation in the past year . We have enjoyed our work and we trust that they have too . We wish them all happiness and success in years to come , and we hope that the recollection of Our Magazine will not be held least dear among the memories of their childhood . -LRB- SOBS FROM THE GIRLS -RRB- : `` INDEED IT WO N'T ! '' OBITUARY On October eighteenth , Patrick Grayfur departed for that bourne whence no traveller returns . He was only a cat , but he had been our faithful friend for a long time and we are n't ashamed to be sorry for him . There are lots of people who are not as friendly and gentlemanly as Paddy was , and he was a great mouser . We buried all that was mortal of poor Pat in the orchard and we are never going to forget him . We have resolved that whenever the date of his death comes round we 'll bow our heads and pronounce his name at the hour of his funeral . If we are anywhere where we ca n't say the name out loud we 'll whisper it . `` Farewell , dearest Paddy , in all the years that are to be We 'll cherish your memory faithfully .
