FOUND A HAUNTED BARN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
To be sure, the weather was not
very promising, but we had counted so
much on our good time that we decided
to go anyway We were going to have
a picnic that eyentful day in beau
tiful little grove no more than mile
from our home, and we had made up
our minds to walk.
After having consoled ourselves with
the idea that the sun would soon
shine, we started out. bag and bag
gage" 1t certainly was a delightful
tramp, away from the city streets into
the quiet country, through weeds waist
high and over meadows trim with
daisies pied' But in spite of the
beauty and grandeur we had a feeling
of discomfort, for the air was begin

A THRILLING DUcKING

Dear Aunt Laurie:
On a certain warm summer day, IL
one looked out over the green clover
fields they might have seen six girls,
basket laden, tripping gaily along the
fringe of the woodland. Their blthe
voices echoed in the eehoing woods.
STOPPING low to avoid the overhanging
branches, they followed a narrow path
which ended in a sloping green bank,
down to the waters edge.
"We'll eat our luncheon here" cried
Eva. one of the girls. Then baskets
were deposited by the tree trunk and
the girls all lay down on the grass.
SAY how many of you will row
across and get some ears of corn to
roast from Mr.. Gray's field?"
Two volunteered and springing into
the boat rowed across, while the rest
took off their shoes and waded In tho
cool water till they returned with tho
corn. 1t was laid by the lunch and
the girls were once more stretched on
the grass when May broke into a peal
of laughter.
What stiles we are she exclaimed.
We've got our corn but no matches
to light fire with"
'Ill tell you what we'll do" cried
Laura, come on over the hill to our
house and get some matches"
Hazel, glad she had that excuse.
"Oh, come. just slip on your shoes
and come on" said Eva, and so they
set out.
Reaching Grants they dropped their
shoes by the gate post and went in
Getting the desired matches they re-
turned to the gate to find their shoes
gone.
That lady took 'em," said little
boy, standing near With a gasp of
dismay the three girls rushed after the
lady, but Laura and Hazel stepped on
a sandhur patch, so stopped to take
them out while Eva ran on alone.
Drop those shoes; we saw you take
them,' she called.
This had no effect.
She called again. IF you don't drop
them we'll have you arrested"
The lady took them from her basket
and tossed them on the path and hur-
ried away.
Grasping the shoes Eva hurried back
to the girls, and putting them on were
soon at the river.
While eating the sweet, juicy corn,
Laura told the rest about their stolen
shoes.
After lunch they roamed about the
woods. This seemed Eva's unlucky day
She bumped her headon a tree, tore
her dress, and on the way home as they
were about to enter the boathouse,
Eva caught the top of the door to
shove the boat in. She showed and
so hard that the boat shot out from
under her and she dropped with a
splash into the water
With merry laughter they pulled her
out and they soon reached home six
happy tired girls.
II had so much fun Eva told Ethel
that night for Eva stayed with her.
Even If / did knock my head till
I saw stars, tear my new dress, and
fall in the water, I'd like to go again."
was her final comment as she dropped
into worn-out slumber.

Then softly gathered the purpled
wings of twilight and slowly one by

night as she descended over all and
wrapped in her shrouds a party of
happy children hurrying joyously
homeward. OLA HALL.

ANOTHER MAN
INJURED BY CARS

While John Purcell and a friend were
walking down the Pennsylvania tracks
in Indiana Harbor, yesterday evening.
Purcell was struck by an engine and
his left leg was severed. below the
knee. He also lost a number OF fing-
ers on his right hand.
He was taken to St. Margaret's hos
pital in Hammond, where he is receiv-
ing medical attention. Purcell stated
that he and his friend were from Pitts
burg and were on their way to Hege-
wisch to secure work.
From their appearances, however,
and from the fact that their hands did
not show that they had recently done
any work 1t is believed they were
tramps.

man Bowser of the first ward last
evening, which was passed, DEGREES
that there shall be gates at the follow-
ing crossings:
