look him in the eye and find out whether he was telling lie or not.
 Then there was the matter of clothes As the summer wore on si got to leaving off more of his duds until finally, he came down town one day with nothing on but his big straw hat. The town marshall walked right up to the hat and threatened sl with arrest if he didn't go home and put on his clothes. but sl Just laughed at him.
 You go right the town hail. Iafe," he twitted. "and read your law books If you find anything In em that will let you arrest a man for showing nothing of himself but a straw hat, I'll go over to the lookup and stay month"
 "Tll do no such a dumb thing!" said Lafe, getting his lander up. I'll arrest you right now, by gum. and throw you in the calaboose! Then I'll look through the law books and see if I can hold ye or notri He made a grab but S was too spry for him. Quicker than seat Si threw his straw hat on the ground and jumped to one side. He just stood there and sniggered while Lafe bobbed around after him, and Inside of ten minutes he had Lafe near ready for the loony house. Si would laugh out loud. and then jump. while Lafe made a rush for the spot where the noise came from. Then Si would
  while Lafe made human top of himself and his club Then Si got his straw hat and held 1t out at arms length, about as high as his head and danced a hornpipe in his bare feet. when Lafe fell down in making a lunge for the place where SIS throat ought to be. At last Si set Pepper on to Lafe, and that was the last straw. Lafe climbed a tree and vowed he would get Si If 1t took a year of Sundays.
 panDar bU thIG lima had licked dog in town and had come to be as bold as brass. Ben Morley would slap piece of steak on the scales with a thud that would make 1t weigh quarter of pound that piece of steak would jump down off the counter and streak across the road to Si Hawker's house. It looked curious, too to see beefsteak run away, all by itself.
 "Drat that invisible dog" Ben would say as he hustled to the door. Then he'd heave a darnick after the steak, and. if he hit Pepper there would be howl and the meat would fall to the ground and lie still till Ben got 1t again
 You'd see the chickens in widow Smith CTS back yard flying around like mad and squawking like Bedlam, with the feathers tearing loose in every direction, and you would knev' that Pepper was just taking little after dinner exercise.
 Take it all in all they were a tearing bad team, especially for Lafe Sproggles. Si took to going down town without even his hat and he spent most of his time in Lafe's neghborhood, watching for chances to play pranks on him. Lafe

was some different. He asked Lafe a lot of questions and got the whole story and then all at once he screwd up his little beady eyes and bent them on Lafe.
 Give me all the money you have about you" he said. soft and easy like.
 Lafe had a roll of bills as big as stove pipe, that he meant to buy cattle with, but he passed 1t over to Mustapha just the same, like a man that was in a trance.
 Now" said Mustapha, "I will make your man visible"
 With that he made a lot of curious moves in the air. and frowned and twisted and groaned. and made more passes in the air until Lafe was on the point of arresting him Just on general principles, when all at once there was big fuss outside and Mustapha sprang to his feet.
 You'll find your man out there." he said, and Lafe hurried out.
 Dozeville never did see such queer doings as went on that dayl There were all the women screeching and hiding their faces and the men pushing and swearing and. in the midst of 1t all, Si Hawker as naked as the day he was born and in plain sight of every eye
 You're just in time Lafel'' yelled Jim

the best of them, from the collar down"
 Just then the sound of dog fight broke on the air and si. recognizing Peppers bark ran out to the gate whole crowd of loafers from Ben Worley's store, 1 across the street. had gathered around, but they were tremendously puzzled lot Of men. The sound was like that of any other dog fight but to the eye 1t was different Out In the middle of the road Dave Bensons dog was going through all the motions of a mighty hard contest, but though you could hear two dogs growing and yelping, Dawes bull terrier was the only one to be seen. The terrior was getting the worst of 1t too. Every once in while there would be a snap and gash would come in the bull ter riers neck, and by that Si knew 1t was Pepper That was Peppers way of fight ing, he being part hound-a jump and slash like knife and spring away.
 Ben Morley came out of his store on the run with gun in his hand.
 Stand back from there, ye plumb fools!" yelled Ben. That dogs got hy- drophoby and I'm going t shoot 'imi"
 Don't you do nothing of the kind, Ben Worleyi" shouted Si, elbowing his way into the crowd. That hain't no mad dog He's fghtin' like sixty with mine, and putin up an alfred good fight, too. Peppers s there all right, but you can't see him, that's alll'
 You ought to have seen that crowd scat ter. They took just one look at the head less shirt and overals that stood among them and every man Jack of them turned white as a miller, and had mighty sudden business back in the high brush. Si ran over to the town pump got a big bucket of water and threw on the dogs. scram- bled around until he got hold of Pepper by the scuff of the neck, and went back in the house.
 That was Dozeville's initiation into the novelty of having an invisible man in it's midst. and they soon got used to 1t, as men do to most things as soon as the var nish begins to wear off. By and bye 1t was only strangers that got a nervous chill when they saw a broad brimmed straw hat come Hopping down the street, with nothing between 1t and a brand splinter clean hickory shirt but thin air. As for Si himself he rather liked it, and one must say that there were good points about 1t.
 In the first place he could trade horses and say anything he pleased. Even old Deacon Holloway, himself, known 10 be the sharpest man In the county, couldn't

Damn. ''si has got himself all ready for the tar and feathers to save us the trouble and he'll have his new su1t on as soon as we can get the pitch hot. Come oni'
 I'm an officer of the law and I can't allow no such goings on" said Lafe, but If you fellows will Just make room till club him a little while, I'll go home and let you put on the arniclky.'
 Nobody paid any attention to the dog fight that was going on at the same time. Poor Pepper had become visible at the same time as Sl and all the other dogs in town had jumped on hfm to even up old scores When they got through with him there wasn't enough left of Pepper to make grease spot. but by that time the town was so interested in making SIS suit of tar and feathers fit hi mwell, that they wouldn't have noticed if every dog in town had been chewed into mince-meat.
 Poor Sll He got job with the circus and left that night as 'The Monster Hu- man Bird.

couldn't even light cigar but what Si was right there 10 blow out the match before he could get tho fire.
 Along at first 1t was only Lafe that hated Sl so tremendous hard, but by and bye Si took to caves dropping and the whole town got down on him. You sec 1t was so easy for S without any clothes on to slip right up whore people were talking and take in every word. In this way he heard so many mean things about himself that 1t sort of set him against folks in general. and that kept his con- science from prieking him like 1t might and ought to have done, His wife got to be the most popular woman In town through knowing so much about the af- fairs of her neighbors, and 1t wasn't long until the two had the whole town by the ears for, In the course of time, as was bound to happen sooner or later every body got to hear some of the things that were being said about themselves and that made the shoe pinch. By putting two and two together they easily made out that Si was at the bottom of 1t all and the upshot of that was that the whole town was boiling hot against him and ready to ride hi mon a rail.
 The problem was to catch him first, and that was something of a job, for si got meaner and meaner and triekier and trickier all the time He took to making things up about people, so as to have the town a regular hornets nest, morning noon and night. Free for all fights got to be so common in the streets that mo- body that was the least way busy stopped to pay any attention to them, except farmers in for a spree, and they often took hand In it just to keep their fight ing arms in trim.
 Along about that time Mustapha Hadji and a little one-horse circus came to town Mustapha was with the circus. but not of it. He was a little yellow beady-eyed, weazened-up, old man, who sat in a little tent and told the past. present and future for fifty cents. Lafe Sproggles was pass Ing by the tent when Ben Morley came out looking dazed, and Mustapha motioned Lafe to come in. Lafe didn't want his past, present and future told for 50 cents, but there was something about Mustapha that made Lafe go into the tent, whether he wanted to or not. When he found him. self seated opposite the little old man he thought he might as well make the best use of him possible so he said
 Fire away, old Musty, and tell me all you know: but if you'll just tell me how to make Si Hawker visible I'll pay you double"
 Mustapha smiled a queer little smile and wanted to know who Si Hawker was, and why he had gone away.
 That's jest if. dod rot iti' exclaimed Lafe 'fThe cuss Is here. all right, but you can't see him, He's invisibe!'
 Mustapha woke up right away. As long as it was only an ordinary fortune telling case he wasn't much interested, but this
