Edgar You come around under the

1T was nearly dark. so 1t was no soon
er said than done. Reaching the store
room window. Edgar prepared to climb
in, but stopped suddenly. MY heavens,
my hand. my handr' he exclaimed,
as he dropped back on the ground.
''Lawdy. I don't believe I've left bit
OF skin on my hand. Why didn't you tell
me that pan Of gelatin was there?"

impatienay. How did 1 know? Was 1t
hot?"
Hot? Just put your hand in and see"

So once more Edgar braved the gelatin,
and succeeded in getting into the store
room, but not until he overturned the
bowl and besmeared the floor with half
CONCEALED gelatin.
aPuIl now TIL I say stop" be called
to Donald as he dropped the end of the
sausage out of the window. So Donald
began pulling. About five minutes later
one OF the Bruders came along. Catching
sight of Donald. he hurried to him and
touched him on the shoulder. TN pull
little myself. Go to your ROOM" and
Donald dared not disobey.
Hold up now Don. that's about
enough" --...
There was no answer and the pulling
kept on.
In moment Edgar called again:
"HolG up. 1 say, Don"
Still there was no answer.
Edgar put his hands on the window to
pull himself up 10 see where Donald was,
AS he did so someone struck him across
the knuckles and as he dropped back, he
caught sight of the Bruder, and instantly
knew what had happened. He struck
match and his eye lighted on large pan
Of milk. He immediately seized 1t. took
ID to the window, where he could just
make out the priests form and emptied
the contents on his head. Then he jump
ed out OF the window. landing in the bas-
ket of sausage and fed to his room. And
the Bruder7 Well. he was still by the
window trying TO shake himself dry, for
the milk had thoroughly saturated him.
But he had his revenge.
As punishment for this escapade. Don
aid and Edgar were ordered to kneel from
o'clock in the morning to 10 O'Clock at
night in the chapel for three days. They
stood Il one day, but the next Edgar de-
clded 10 take a cushion from one Of the
pews and lie down. And so he did. About
o'clock the bishop. priests and altar
boys entered the chapel to hold vespers.
The church was sal dark, for II was not
lighted until the procession reached the
altar. where there were numerous can
dies, so Edgar eagerly watched them COM
ing with lighted torches, etc. He had
placed his cushion In the middle Of the
aIlse, and putting his feet on top OF 1t, he
slipped himself In between two pews. and
waited till the bishop should reach the
cushion. When he did a moment later,
Edgar raised one foot and down fell the
bishop fiat on the cushion. Edgar laugh
ed aloud and Immediately offered TO help
him up. The bishop rose slowly. said not
a word, but advanced to the altar and
oficiated at vespers.
After the service was over Donald and
Edgar were left alone in the dimly lighted
chapel. Edgar took II into his head to
hold a service himself. so he went up TO
the chancel and took up the silver cor
nered bible.
Come up here. you red headed sar-
| dine. I want to bless you" he said au-
| thOritatively.
SO up came Donald. who knelt before
him, with bowed head. Suddenly Edgar
came down on It with a tremendous
"whack." and Donald yelled murder"

/ chapel, hurried forward 10 see what had

"IIe fell down from up yonder." ex-
/ claimed Edgar pointing straight up.
From up yonder?" gasped the Bruder,
for up yonder was the dome OF the
i chapel.
