calling for some one TO come and admire
his taste. He kept the hat long time,
trimming it over every day or two.
Puppy knew how to carry kindling, too,
and once in a while when he wanted an
excuse for coming into the house he would
bring a pile of wood up on the porch and
then scratch on the door. OF course we'd
open it and the wise fellow would put his
kindling in the box, feeling that he would
be allowed to stay and visit us while.
Sometimes we wanted him to carry kind
ling to show him off, but he'd always
act silly, drop the wood on the steps
or chase up and down with one piece
in his mouth. I'd scold him for being so
naughty and then he'd look at me so
sorry with tears in his lovely brown eyes
that would forgive and pet him.
His coat was the color OF brown cigar

his ears and tail was long and curly and
the dear little fellow never kept still. 1t

[PHIL BARKER's VERSION OF THE MYSTERY
In this very house, many years ago,
lived a man and his beautiful young wife.
One morning in the bright summer time
of the year the husband departed on
hunting trip.
II shall be home early" were the words
he gayly shouted to his bride as she stood
with tears in her eyes watching his de-
parture.
During the long hours of the day she
strolled through the spacious grounds,
and it SO happened that she accidentally
fell into an old well and was drowned.
When the hunter returned he looked in
vain for his sweet wife, but nowhere could
she be found. For days and days he
searched, and finally found her body
floating on the top of the old well.
The poor fellow rushed screaming in and
out of the house to the well until at last,
frenzied with grief, he jumped into the
well and was drowned.
At II o'clock each night rumbling
noise is here heard, and water spirits"
are seen marching from the old well.
They go the castle, moaning and scream
ing on their way, but always disappear at
the first gleam of light from the dear old
sun.
just at the conclusion of this thrilling
tale. "tap, tap, tap" sounded against
the window-panes; then low moan swept
through the room. Of course this startled
the merry group, and it took quite while
for them to be convinced that only
harmless bat was sthe cause of all the dis
turbance.
Now, for the groundsl OF course we
must peep into the well! Ughl it makes
me shiver to think Of it. But they did,
all the same. Through the grounds into
the old stable, and beside the moss-grown
welldid these happy young folks linger.
Then for home. The suns rays were
slanting low, shadows deep were every
where as this joyous band homeward took
its way through pleasant lanes and mead
ows green, full of happy thoughts about
the wonderful old haunted castle and its
mysteries.

horns; then, seizing the limb of tree
that grew on the edge of the declivity, he
was quickly out of reach.
The infuriated animal now made a
charge directly at the fence. As it did so
hole in board, which, for moment, held
it fast. Then it ierked its head back and
the board gave way, remaining fastened
to the animals horns.
In striving to free itself from this awk-
ward incumbrance, the bull went back
against the railing at the edge of the pre-
cipce. This would not stand the pressure,
and the next moment the animal went
over the brink. 1t was found later dead;
the fall had killed it.
Hayes face soon appeared at the open
ing.
"Come on, Miss Armstead," he cried !;
''its all right; he's a goner"
Thanks to the courage and the presen ce
of mind of the boy they had called
coward, the teacher and her little scholars
were safe.
As for Hayes, he subsided at once into
the same timid little fellow and made his
appearance at school the next morning as
if nothing unusual had happened.
'How did you know about that loose
board in the fence2" Miss Armstead
asked.
II and another boy crept through there
once to see baseball game"
The hero was a very human boy. after
all.
'Well, Hayes, nail that board on, and j
will give you a ticket to attend every ball
game that is played there this season."
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-25

Miss Armstead is now Mrs. Morgan, and
she lives in the city of B. Some repairs
were needed in the cellar of her house this
summer and Mr.. Morgan sent young
man to do the work When she went out
to give him some directions, he said:

my name is Tilden H. Fad. 'Hayseed'
they used to call me-"
"You arenot Hayes EadI Why, Hayes,
l never should have known you," and she
took the fne-looking young man by both
hands. "You saved my life once and the
lives of the scholars, besides. Do you live
here in the city,"
"Yes Mrs. Morgan, learned the car
penter's trade after leaving MIR. For
sythe's. lived with him two years after
you left. l believe l always had an in
clination toward that trade. The mouse
trap made at school was my first piece
of work in that line. Do you rememb ber
it?"
Indeed I do, and that you were too
kindhearted to kill the mouse. Are you
doing well ?"
Very well, thank you. have all the
work can do and earn good wages. l

new houses and I'm not quite 81 yet"
Had Mrs. Morgan been inclined to doubt
"Hayseed's' identity, one Item in the bill
would have convinced her. 1t read, Zone

But it was a well-made door and was
hung in a workmanlike manner.
