boys are called that at times), but even
his father and mother said he was bad.
lie would never do as he was told,
or scarcely ever; he wouldn't keep his
nails clean nor wash his neck unless ne
was forced to; he broke windows IN
the church with slingshOts; stole apples
from the minister's yard; stoned cats;
pulled off flies legs; put pins in chairs
burrs in the girls hair; tied knots in
other boys clothes when they were in
swimming; tied cans to little dogs tails,
and sucked eggs when he found them

What are railroad spooks2" inter-
ruDted Oscar.
They are ghosts who live on railroad
trains. You know it's awful hard for q
spook to stick on a train when it's going,
for YOU get all drawn out of shape. we
tried it. I saw one spOOk who was
stretched out behind a fast express Just
Ike a long piece Of mosquito netting. but
he managed to hold on till the train

Oscar
That's the ghost of a rich old farmer
who would never give the poor boys any
apples from his trees, and now he has

apples all night long"
Serves him good and right, said Os-
ca--
Yes; and it hurts him dreadfully that
nobody comes to take his apples" con-
tinued the butcher. Its the same way
with another one down the street. He
was always cruel to cats and now he has
to hunt for them and try to be kind to
them, and he can't get one TO look az

Oscar shuddered as he thought Of his
cruelties TO cats. He said: u think III

YOU could almost see through it. He
now began to think that he was being
punished for being bad, and he prom
ised himself never to be bad again If
he ever got out of this scrape.
Suddenly he became aware that
alongside Of him was another shape
les thing floating along, through which
the new mon was shining as though
through a window with frost on its
panes. He stared at it, and it came
nearer.

moved away.

voice of the chief
He's a bit disrespectful," said Epp-
STEMS ghost
What's the difference between a
spectre and a spook or ghost?" asked
Oscar.
Well I can scarcely answer that.
There's spooks, ghosts, spectres. phan-
toms, apparitons, shades, wraiths and
spirits, but what's the difference would
be difficult to tell l think the old

NO" said Oscar. y should rather
imagine the new ones would be the
most uppish. as they were fresh from
all the new styles and were more up

Suddenly something went by them
like a lightning nash, but without
noise. 1t showed a dim glow like two
eyes in front and a pale wreath OF
faint mist hung trailing out behind j
