And they did. From all outside appearance it was a regulation job, but not being experienced along this line, they didn't anchor her. Y ou see, I put a four by four that runs from the top straight on down five foot into the ground. That's why you never see any of my jobs upset Hollowe'en night. They might pull 'em out, but they'll never upset 'em.
Hallowe'en night come along, darker than pitch.
Old man Clark was out in there. Some of them devilish nabor boys was out for no good, and they upset 'er with the old man in it. O f course, the old man got to callin' and his boys heard the noise. So they took the lantern, started out to the chicken shed. They didn't find anything wrong there, and they started back to the house.
