This was with her full knowledge;

Bert was TO carry the pumpkin, ana
he intended to wrap himself in sheet
from his bed 10 add to the frightfulness
of his appearance. Lawrence was to do
most of the grooming; but in the end
one groancd about as much as the
other.
The night was very dark and unusual
ly cold, even for late October. 1t had
rained a little early in the evening. and
the kitchen roof was wet. Bert and
Lawrence shivered as they climbed out,
one behind the other, fully dressed,
Bert carrying his sheet rolled up under
his coat. They shivered more and more
the longer they stayed out.
Bert was in advance of Lawrence
when they climbed out upon the roof.
No sooner were they fairly on the wet
and almost icy roof than they began to
slide down much faster than they had
expected or desired, and they found it
impossible to slacken their speed or to
lessen the noise they were making In
their hurried, somewhat rolling de-
scent.
Down they slid, vainly grasping at
the roof or trying to stay their progress
by bracing their heels on the shingles
1t was of no avail
Look out for the rain-water BARREL"
shrilly whispered Lawrence, when they
were within three feet of the edge of the
roof.
But it was too late to look out for any
danger. Under the caves was huge
barrel, or tank, set to catch rain water.
1t partly took the place Of cistern.
since it was large enough to hold sew
eral ordinary barrels of water.
1t was also quite large enough to hold
three or four boys the size of the two
Trask boys; and now, although it was
full of icy water to the very top hoop,
it was suddenly called upon to receive
Bert and Lawrence within its depths.
Down they came, Bert shooting swift
ly over the edge of the roof and Law
renee sliding as swiftly after him. Both
landed with mighty splashes and loud
screcches in the tank of water!
Bert struck in a sitting position and
vent down entirely beneath the water.
while Lawrence went In only up to his
ears.
The ground sloped a little away from
the tank; and, as the boys had both
landed heavily on the side of the tank
next to the slope, they overthrow the
big receptacle and were swept out on
the ground in Que mighty wave that
ouried them beneath It for an instant.
All this made n great deal Of noise.
Lights appeared suddenly in the house
and Mr.. Trask came quickly to the
kitchen door.
WHO'S that? What's the trouble out
hcre?" he asked, sharply. Answer me

in the barn IN the afternoon. In the
evening they went to their room, and
ostensibly to bed, as usual, at half-past
nine. No one in the house knew of
their plan but themselves, and they pro-
posed to slip out Of their room and out
of the house without arousing anyone.
The roof OF a shed kitchen sloped
from the window-sills of their room to
within about nine feet of the ground.
They decided to climb quietly out of
window, slip down over the kitchen
roof to the caves, and drop lightly to the
ground. Then they would get the
pumpkin from its place of conceslment.
