In Scotland, in the northern parts of
England, in Scandinavia, as well as in
Hungary, Crotia and Roumania. the
utmost care is taken among the lower
classes that each corpse is provided
with pair of good shoes before being
laid into the ground. If the dead per-
son happens to be tramp and to have
been found dead barefooted, there will
always be some charitable soul to fur
nish pair of good boots for interment
along with the corpse.
An inspector of police in Scotland has
been known TO purchase of his own ac,

them in the grave, reopened for the
purpose, of n murdered stranger who
had been inadvertently inferred bare.
footed the day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tsiganes, as well as in many
parts of Asia, is attributable to the be-
lief that unless the dead are well shoI
when buried their ghosts come back 70
haunt the locality where they breathed
their last in search of a pair of boots.
The shoes are popularity supposed to

soul must traverse before it can reach

plains are declared to be covered with

popularity credited with forming a sort

were like two chums more than like

When the Invincibles were organized

happen. because none ever did.
Toward the end of the season, how
ever, our captain-I wasn't holding the
Office that year, you see-began to get
worried, and one day il just seemed to
dawn on him that there wasn't boy
in the team who could take Franks
place; so he went to him and said:
Look here, Hartman, what could we
do if anything should happen TO you
one of these days? Do you know we
haven't got a man in the nine who
could pitch for you? 1t makes me fair
ly sick to think how dead we'd be il

Don't you worry" said Frank, smil
ing. I'm not going to get sick; if
anything should happen so that 1
couldn't play, the lnvincibles would
have a substitute who will give perfect
satisfaction. l guarantee you that"
That's all he would say, though the
captain tried TO make him tell who it
was. But just as if to make him prove
what he had said, what did Frank do
the very next morning but fall and
break his leg, That was on Thursday,
