ing. Her niece now was as happy as she had been downcast a few minutes before. When she had been sent such nice gifts she couldn't help but be happy.
 Early that evening she was surprised to hear the sound of many feet in the hall. and the sound of laughter. A mos ment later, and her room was stormed by an army of her friends.
 "Oh, I know who sent the postal cards!" cried Nellie.
 All laughed. and then some one sug- gested that they take turns guessing who had sent the different cards. Nell lie entered into the game with the rest, and all had a jolly. good time, until Aunt Mary suggested that pernapS the doctor would like Nellie to take little rest after her excitement.
 Nellie was further surprised and pleased by dainty Halloween souvenirs one of which was left by every one or
 You see, you couldn't give them a party, as you intended, so they thought they would give you one, explained Aunt Mary, when all had gone.
 Nellie laughed delightedly. And I think a postcard Halloween party IS the incest sort of one for girl with broken leg," said she.

She jumped up and looked all around her. Not thing was to be seen. Then again came the mournfuI vail:
 "Ellen! EIlenl You are not treating my boys right. You are starving Jack and Joe. Give them what they want. or shall visit you every night" The cry died away with a sob
 Burying her head in the bedclothes. Ellen shook with fear. Sleep was not for her that night. Too frightened to move, she lay threading to hear the voice of the "speerit' once more. ,,. Meanwhile. Jack and J Joe lay chuck, usso had called through the hole into Ellen's room. He and his brother rolled on their bed tn glee.
 When the cook told the boys father about the ghost next morning he looked curiously at Jack and Joe but said
 During the day Jack and Joe were content, until when evening approach ed their determination to annoy the cook further had greatly weakened.
 Let's do 1t just this once, insisted Joe. Being Halloween, 1t will do more good than any other time"
 Once in bed, Ellen did not go to sleep quite so easily as on the night before. Instead, she lay awake thinking of all. this was the very night for them to {, appear.
 The door creaxed ever so slightly. Raising herself on elbow, the affrighted cook Saw two white-sheeted figures Ghosts, as sure as you live!
 Waving their arms. the ghosts disap- peared as quickly and as silently as they had come. Ellen shrieked aloud.
 Of course, the two ghosts" were Jack and Joe. Alarmed at Eilen,s shriek, they hastened down the hall They had just reached their door. when they heard 6 moan behind Glancing over their shoulders, they saw 8 real ghost" advancing threateningly toward them. In dismay they rushed pell- mell into their room.

 Jack and Joe don't like to talk about the time they tried to frighten the cook with ghosts. But they still whisper be- tween themselves about the tall ghost that was after them. Never have they suspected that the ghost was their father.

VE HEN THURLo was little boy, NV before his head rose much
 w higher than the top of the rough deal table in the kitchen. he romped all day long round the little cottage and in the woods nearby. He never went far. 1t is true, for way in the deep forest lurked hungry wolves. and bears and what not But then he did not wish to so far, because he had everything to play with by the side of his home. Yes. those were happy days, when Thurlo was a little boy, and he and his mother lived together on the edge of the great forest.
 But one can't always remain httie: you know, and before his mothar could hardly realize 1t the wee boy had grown into q big. strapPing youth; explored further into the forest and had longed to go into the outside world. Thurlo was a good son, however. and rather than leave his mother he curbed his impatience and hid these thoughts from her.
 Still, mothers are wise, and she knew what was passing through her boy s mind. So, after many sigh, she called Thurlo to her one day, and said to him:
 My boy, I know you are anxious to go out into the world to seek your for tune. You have been good son to me, but do not Wlbn 10 keep you AeF6 al- ways Suppose you journey for a fort night and return to me at the end of that time. Perhaps you may then be able to decide whatsyou wish to do for a living"
 ThurIo protested. saying that it was not right for him to leave her. but she insisted, and at last he set forth.
 A long distance he travelled through the forest. Just as he imagined he would reach its border he found that he had lost his way. With but little food left, he pushed forward desperate ly. To his relief, as twilight was fall- ing. he came in sight of great gleam- ing wall.
 Hurrylng his steps. he finally gained the outside of the walls. On either side of him they stretched, seemingly with out a break Apparently there was nothing for him to do but to climb over. This feat he accomplished with great difficulty
 When he gained the top, his. head whirled at the scene which lay before him For, lol he had entered Fairyland. So overcome was he by surprise that nc

D ERHAPS it wasn't altogether their
 fault that they seemed to be al- [ ways hungry, for boys of 10 and 12 who are steadily growing simply can't get enough to eat. Why, a meal is hardly over before the ordinary boy is wondering how long 1t will be before next mealtime comes. At any rate. the appetitss of Jack and Joe were enor- nous. Ellen. the cook. would have told yoM that.
 Now, Cook Ellen really wasn't an en- emy of the boys. Bless you, no! She loved them with all her heart. But, of course, no cook would allow boys in the kitchen, and many a fierce sl<irmish had she with Jack and Joe. Since the boys mother had died these battles grew all
 There was only one thing in the world Ellen was afraid of and that was ghosts" Of this Jack and Joe were well aware, and many time had they frightened her by their weird tales in order to secure some dainty from the
 T say, Jack" said Joe, 'sEilen's get ting stingier than ever, and we've just got to give her a good scare on Hal-
 Jack was always ready to join in any mischief, so together they mapped out considerable time, but at last every thing was arranged, and they darted upstairs to make arrangements Soon Ellen heard great noise of pounding in <he boys room, but when she went to sec what the matter was she found the door locked, nor would Jack and Joe permit her to enter.
 After the cook had disappeared. grum- bling, down the stairs, Jack whispered to his brother: This does make a whole lot of racket; we'll have to be quieter, or we'll give the whole thing away"
 Next the boys room was that of FL len. Right through the wall which separated the two rooms Jack and Joe were boring and hammering a hole. We shall soon see what this was for.
 When their work was completed the two made their way to the kitchen, where they found Ellen in a worse temper than usual
 "Can't we have some cake, Eilen?" pleaded Jack.
 ''No, bad luck to ye. with all yure mise and nlisbehavin's, retorted the angry cook.
 The boys stalked away, muttering un- der their breath that shed be sorry"
 Ellen was sleeping peacefully that night, when all at once she heard a low wailing cry of ''Ellenl Ellen!" at her very ear.

T AsT Halloween had proved costly
 to the Bloody Pirates" Led by k< Captain Mike Flannigan. they had "cleaned up'' their end of town, caus- ing considerable damage to property during the celebration. Nothing could be traced to any one particular member of the band, but the shefif had repri- manded the ''gang's as whole. And their parents, forgetting the exalted station of each gallant Pirate" had led them sternly to the woodshed.
 So this year Mike Flannigan gather ed his minions together for last con- sultation upon their plans. Pete Mo Guire wasn't present. but of course that wasn't his fault He couldn't help 1t if the teacher "had spite" against him and kept him In whenever she could.
 Mike stood upon a disused chicken coop in the wagon shed of Jerry Null Igan's father. where all meetings were held since the Robbers had driven them from the Cave"
 .'Fellers,' he began. with dignity that greatly impressed his hearers. ''ye know we got 1t good n hard last year from everybody. 'Twasn't 'zackly fair, neither, cause ten to one them Rob- bers' had something to do with the trouble what happened. But there ain't no use tallxin' about what's gone and done with. Let's get down to busi- ness.
 s'Now, I've been thinkin' this whole thing out n rvegot a jim-dandy plan." Here Mike paused to note the effect upon the rest of the band. Every face expressed the liveliest curiosity. so he went on:
 '' '''stead of makin a racket at this end O town, s'pose we sneak over to the Robbers side an cut up like all halleiujah. Then if anybody's blamed it'll be that measley crowd an not us."
 Not Pirate but thought we'll of Mikes scheme. They could get into all sorts of mischief, and So long as they kept out of reach of the policemen no one would think of blaming them. Surely, the idea was the greatest everi The program of the evenings celebra- tion was then discussed thoroughly, after which the band dispersed.
 Suppers disappeared in less time that evening than usual Soon the Pirates had assembled in their meeting place. armed with the ammunition gathered with much labor during the past few days. Corncribs for miles around had paid their toll. as was testified by the bags of sbelled corn and the piles of cobs. Of carrots, beetss walnut burrs and "tick-tacks"-aH Feady to attach to the doors and windoYpanes-there were a-plenty. ttssbss

tumbIed forward and dropped to the ground. Immediately there rose by his side an angry sprite. A wand was waved above Thurlo's head. and in place of the handsome youth there stood an animal.
 A fortnight passed, and still Thurlo did not return to the little cottage. His mother determined to go out in search of him. Fortunately. she took much the same road that Thurlo had travelled, so that she. too. came in sight of the walls of Fairyland. She found path that led directly to the gate.
 Tapping at a little lodge by the portress. At once she poured forth the tale of her errand. Thereupon the fairy called in her musical voice, and a cat. cock and rabbit ran

 Joyfully the poor woman gathered the three animals under her arm and walked homeWaro as SWlItly as sne could.
 But hardly had she covered a mile before the rabbit escaped from her and sped into the depths of the forest. She went on her way weeping. What if the rabbit should be her son! /, There was still a great distance to go, when a robber stopped her and denanded the cock. In tears she begged him not to take the fowl from her but the robber roughly snatched it and killed 1t with a twist of the
 Almost beside herself, she hastened to the cottage, reaching it without further incident
 AS soon as she had entered the house she stood the cat before her, and cried, Change again! Instantly, the cat disappeared and her own Thurlo threw himself into his mothers arms.
 Thurio lived with his mother after tha. until her death - several years later. Then once more he journeyed forth, but you may be sure that this time he did not go toward Fairyland
