were working on it, or you might have done
something. Say, now, didn't your
No, we didn't" Billy began, eagerly.
And then he reflected. 1t would never do to
let Life know what their real mission was;
taken for spies in the SNOWFALL campaign.
The other boys, Caleb and Joe, seemed in.
stinctively to guess why Billy hesitated, and
to perceive that they were in very awkward
dilemma.
However, they kept silence, for they had
great confidence in Bly's shrewdness.
We'll. then, suppose we did?' said Billy,
who had gotten lift out of his first denial
by the incredulous laughter of his two cap
tors.
Suppose you did? Why, of course you
did! What else? All is, you've got to prom.
course, that you've got to keep out OF, the
SNOWFALL fights. Give us your word, and down
you come. Look out for 'em, Pelter."
This was rough indeed on three wide-awake
Chelsea boys. with such avalanches of first
class snow now falling, too, and new fort
ress going up, as they had just discovered, to
be carried by storm.
But there was no help for it. The captives
reluctantly gave the parole demanded. AT a
word from his master, Pelter became as amia-
scended rather stifhy from their pedestal.
I'VE don't mind showing you the fort now,
said Eliphalet, with a chuckle, as he escorted
his prisoners, with the dark-lantern briskly
beamlng.
Billy and his downcast comrades took a sad
and lingering look over the ramparts, and
then started in single file on their two-mile
tramp for home.
1t is needless to follow the other boys.
Billy Rogers was the leader, and he carried
home the heaviest load of discontinue. To
breast that awful storm, merely to be cutoff
from the splendid tussle of a whole week to
come, was fate that pinched him up like a
frost-btten tomato.
How he got to his front door he hardly
knew; he was too busy with his thoughts.
He inserted the latch-key. The door did not
open. Horrors His father had forgotten
and showed the bolt; or perhaps he thought
Billy did not enjoy the idea of waking his
parents in such circumstances. He was pro-
vided with key, and was expected to be in
at a seasonable hour. 1t was now about elev-
en- o'clock.
Luckily the latch-key fitted the back door
also. Billy hastened around the house He
had forgotten that neglected drift, huger now
than before, from the additions of the even
ing storm. The sigh that Billy heaved when
he struck it, up to his waist, was big enough
to initiate war-balloon.
There was but one thing to do-dig out the
drift. Billy lugged his shovel from the shed
and went at it. A half-hours vigorous work
did the business but poor Billy's legs fairly
AS he crept softly on shoeless feet to his
bedroom, he heard an amused tittering from
his fathers chamber. So they locked him
out on purpose, did they, to pay him fol

Billy crawled> into bed, feeling like a crest
fallen warrior twice thrashed and put on
rations of bread and water
OF course Billy Rogers and his friends could
not participate in the grand assault upon Life

The bell of Greenhill Cemetery was hung
in the arched entrance gate: 1t was not dit
fcult to reach the rope-a bit of scramble
over low wall was all the requisite.
The boys tugged YEARLY through the drifts;
The ,crunching of their boots was ssmothered
by the whistle and roar Of the wind.

cons bull-terrier, I'll bet! He'll make it hot

they left him loose nights"
Yet they evidently did, for the barking was
heard again, and this time it was nearer.
Joe French made dash for the cemetery
wall, but fell short, and shot headlong into a
friendly snow-drift.
He was up in a twinklng however, and
in two minutes three figures stood in a row
on the wall, looking like three very dusty
Egyptian mummies in a museum.
Up came the watchdog, Looping with hoarse
suspicious barks through the snow.
How are you, Pelter?" cried Billy, with
his most hypocritical sweetness. "Good fel
low, Come right up here and let us pat
you"
But .Pelter was no such dog. He only
growled the more fercely, and seemed to be
meditating which mummy to leap at first.
The crisis was acute; and the boys inward
ly vowed they would never again undertake
to ring graveyard bells on stormy nights.
They began to shiver, 1t might have beer
cold, and it might have been fright. Shaking
legs tell no tales.
just at this juncture, two human forms
loomed through the whirling snow.
"Sick EN-, Pelter" cried some one, and
familiar voice it was, too.

they were taunted with cowardice and had
to let out the fact of their capture, the boys
gave them q double dose of derision.
In their discontinue, one afternoon before
town, hoping to cover themselves with laurels
in triumphant brush with the traditional
enemies OF Chelsea in that town.
They advanced quite well up toward Bun
ker Hill without discovering any foemen
worthy of their snowballs Perhaps the
Charlestowners were ON a raid to Somerville.
At all events the streets were unusually
empty The fact probably was that most of
the boys had gone up to coast on the historic
hill.
Turning a corner suddenly, however, they
discovered a group of warriors Justify bonn
harding a little shed, wherein some detested
object appeared to have taken refuge.
Hastily loading their overcoat pockets with
snow-bombs, they pushed forward to recon
Inoitre.
/ At their approach the Charlestown boys, a
dozen or so IN number, recognized their ma
tionality, and at first seemed disposed to
scatter.
"Pooh!" cried their leader, after watching
the newcomers anyiousy for minute; "theres
only. three of 'em Let's gobble them up,
too!'
With these mysterious words, he dashed at
the newcomers, followed by half of his squad.
But the assailants had SNOWFALL veterans to
deal with, and were met SO coolly, with such
telling volleys, that they were compelled to
beat retreat.
During this brief episode, Billy Rogers had
time to notice a head which protruded from
the besieged shed, in company with an arm
which shied a missile at the beleaguers. These
were the property of none other than Elipha-
let Pyncheon.
"How came he here?" murmured Billy, as
ne and his comrades pressed hard on the heels
con, Billy, Billy!" exclaimed Life. $50

There was lull in the combat The
Charlestown boys gathered apart for consul
tation, not neglecting to dispatch messen-
ger post-haste for reinforcements.
Excuse u.s. Lfew shouted back Billy.
Cant do it, ,Pon honor We are on par parole, de
tense just now. But what on earth are you
doing over here?"
This retort of Billy's seemed to interest the
Charestown warriors intensely. Their lead
er, waving dingy handkerchief as flag of
truce, came up for parley.
From him Billy learned that Life and Joe,
having found their little army unable to hold
their fort against the West -enders. even when
weakened by the loss of our three friends,
had quietly slipped over to Charlestown to
smuggle in few recruits.
But we smelled mice" said the
Charlestown leader, with grin, "and we
turned on 'em and hiyed 'em up in there"

''Do come here, Billy" cried the prisoners
in the shed, as in the distance they espied

As the vestibule lamp was turned off it
shed its dying ray upon three ruetul faces
those of the three comrades, Billy Rogers,
Caleb Cook and Joe French.
''Oh. | say. fellows" Billy burst out after
brief period ae Of depressing silence, let's
go and ring Greenhill bell"
"Greenhill bell!" echoed Caleb and Joe, in
startled gasps
"Why not? Jolliest sort of a lark. Won't
take us over an hour and hall; Wen as
the regular time. Come on, what do you
say?"
Billy spoke with an enthusiasm which fired
the others of the trio They agreed at once
to tie scheme, and off they tramped into the
storm.
Now, this proposed job was a good-sized
one and might have daunted any less ener
getic youngsters than these three.
Greenhill Cemetery was long two miles
away. This was no great jaunt, to be sure
in ordinary weather, but the present howl
ing northeaster was but the sequel to twin
brother which had only blown out the very
morning before.
The roads were buried deep under the
snow, and huge drifts loomed up on every
side. Billy had "labored like galley slave,
as he himself said, all day long, digging out
paths. He had cleared his entire premises
with the exception of one monster, ten feet
high, that barricaded the rear door.
Leaving this one drift did not matter, he
thought, for he had night-key to the front
door, and the ell-door was carefully cleared
The rear entrance was seldom used in the
winter.
AS the boys trudged on, the tempest buf
feted and cuffed them in lively style. The
gusts flung fistfuls of snow into their faces
and necks but this only whetted their am
biton. They soon pushed clear. of the town
where there was a semblance OF track in the
roads, and reached the unbroken wastes Of
snow outside.
Here it was tough, and Billys two com
panions would have backed out willingly but
for a wholesome dread of the sneers of theil
plucky leader.
There was nothing for them but to toll on
in silence. They had not breath enough fol
conversation. and besides, as they approached
