ana all sorts of scoundrels, for the greater
part, and these we devoured.
As L struck over the fields that afternoon,
l gave the usual signal to Caleb-"O-oo-g
ooge, ooge"-long repeated and drawn out,
cry which no doubt many of my readers
are well up In executing.
l. got no response, though the slogan was
sounded thrice This did not surprise me,
however, for there were afternoons when
Caleb found it wiser to slip off without max
ing any startling ado about it.
on the way, halted for brief time at
a favorte trout brook, and there, out of one
hidden by long grass and bushes. l beguiled,
IN IN very few moments, four of the sleekest
little beauties that ever decorated a frying
pan.
AHA, great luckl" I said to myself. "This
will just save me-"
And, after this reflection, / tramped away
towards the hills more briskly than before.
These Briarmont hills were wild-an rug
ged, as ! have already said, and they were
steep and secluded. 1t was rare for anybody
TO visit them, except in the pursuit of stray
beast. To-besure, some of the city folks
climbed up, there in summer to "get the
view, which was indeed very fine, but we
boys used to laugh at them for their folly.
You will understand then, why Caleb and
for our secret. and forbidden literature In
one of the widest spots we had discovered
tiny cave in heap of boulders.
1t was. not large enough to take us in. At
least, when one of us crawled in, it was
desirable for the other to help him out by
stout tug at his heels.
The cave was not roomy for bows vet il
was an amphitheatre, so to speak, for story
papers and books. 1t was dry, and the ground
sloped away from the entrance No rain
storm, however severe, could flood it. and
there was dense growth of barberry bushes
just in front. What more could two bows of
reserved and studious habits have desired?
We had named our cave "Grotto Rodux."
Why "Rodux" cannot tell; but it had a
fine sound and was mysterious to refer to in
the little notes which we sometimes ex
changed at school. We always approached
the grotto with the greatest secrecy and many
precautions. We would dodge from one
clump of bushes to another, and over exposed
places sometimes crawl upon our stomachs,
in imitation of the wary and sagacious red,
man.
As I drew near the cave that afternoon
crouched, then again rose up and went on
tiptoe.
/ avoided all dry twigs with studied care,
lest their cracking might betray my where
abouts to the people of Briarmont, only two
miles or SO away.

AT last | found myself concealed behind a
dense little thicket, through which, by MAX
ing cautious openings with my hands, l could
command the barberry clump which screened
the entrance to Grotto Rodux,
Wmle was resting, for the climb had

T Mouid there be anything of the sort today?
l sincerely hoped SO, for It was by no means

when my chum's s heels were trpped up by
c9ores or errands or some other contrivance
Of a, too-busy father and this might be one
of them. 0-o
These meditations over and my breath be-
ing all right again, l crept to the thicket.

must be conceded tina the mechanism
is very clever without entering into
discussion as to just how the life-llke
actions of the figure are brought about.

woman sitting next the aisle became
frightened and cried out. Take it
away, take it away" and then hur-

his regret over this occurrence and as

On the Rack.

The expression putting witness
on the rack" has an ancient origin.
The courts had an unpleasant way OF
putting a refractory or unsatisfactory
witness on the rack. which was an
open wooden frame. upon which was
laid the victim. His wrists and ankles
were tied to two rollers at opposite
ends Of the frame The rollers were
then moved with levers until the ten
sion caused the body to rise level with
the frame. and then questions were
addressed to the witness. If he still
proved silent or If his memory needed
refreshing. the rollers were moved
slowly until the wretchs bones started
from the sockets.
