THE NIIsEk SCARED.

The old miser seemed to have grown
to the floor; he must have stood for
thirty seconds without breathing. Final
ly his breath came with a gasp and a
gurgle.. With one hand ] gently shook
that forked tail, the end of which was
standing on a level with my head.
Raising my arm slowly I leveled at him
the long red foil tipped finger. With a
gasp he rushed for the door. AS he
reached it I stood erect, my back to the
fire, scratching my ear with the tip of
my tail. The old man gave one glance
over his shoulder, and, with an un-
earthly scream, fell against tho door,
and seemed trying to push it through;
but the door opened i'll. l took one step
toward him, and he gave another screech
and tried to jump through the transom.
At that moment Tom Davey, my
roommats, pushed the door open and
the old man fell across the threshold.
He gathered himself quickly and flew
wildly into the hall. I explained the
situation briefly to Davey. Opening the
door he looked down to where the main
hallway intercepted the main hall. In a
mt OF Wild extravaganza the miSer had
turned the gas full IN and stood staring
in the direction of our door. The old
man motioned to Tom and asked whether
he had seen anybody in the room. Tom
assured him that there was no one in the
room. what! Nothing at al?' "Noth-
ing at all, answered Tom. The old man
stared at him vacantly for a moment

keeping eye over his shoulder.
It is said that for a year or two after

turn down the gas or rob the woodbox;
but gradually the force of habit became
stronger than the terrors of memory. A
few years ago he died miserably, leaving
millions for others to squander. Atlanta
