him. You say you spoke of his re- turning late this evening. Doubtless Miss Flora has waited at the John- stons for her father to come by."
 That's just what I've been hoping, John," Mrs. Clarke replied to her old gardener. whom she had brought out with her. I've been hoping that Flora would come with her papa. But as it is getting late, and neither of the dear ones arrives. I can't stay indoors longer. I must go down the road to meet them--or at least, to meet my little girl. Something may have detained her, and she will be too frightened to come home through the darkness. You know the night falls so quickly after the sun goes down."
 Then, just as Flora had made up her mind to call out. for she could see her mother. accompanied by the gar dener, coming round the curve of the road as they came through their own gate. something else Important hap pened. And Flora did not speak for another few seconds. John, the old gardener, came directly beneath the horrible light-bodied creature that stayed in the shadow of the tree, even after the approach of persons. And instead of falling back with cries of horror and fear. the old man stopped,

the errand, and Flora, kissing her mother goodbye. ran off across the grassy lawn towards the big road which would lead her directly to the Johnstons.
 Flora reached the Johnston's home in good time. She rang the door-bell twice before being answered. Then the housemaid explained that the Johnstons had gone into the city that afternoon and would not return till late--in fact.s Mrs. Johnston had 'phoned, asking that the dinner be served at half-past seven instead of at seven. the usual hour.
 What time is 1t now?" asked Flora. desiring to perform her errand before returning home. She had letter from her mother to Mrs. Johnston, which could be left but her mother asked her to wait for an answer. So she decided to wait for the John- stons.
 Its just quarter of seven." re- piled the housemaid. twill you have seat on the veranda and wait?"
 Yes. Flora would wait, and took q comfortable seat on the veranda where she could look down the broad road towards town. The time passed by, and she heard the hall clock strike the half-hour. The Johnstons, must now return, for their dinner was to have been, served at that precise min ute. But the clocks hands went on roundI and after very long time SO 1t seemed to Flora--she heard an-

road. Pretty late for little lady to be out alone." she unused as she re- turned to the kitchen to report the delay of master and mistress to the cook.
 Flora hurried along. wishing that some kind automobilist would come along her way and give her lift. A few short minutes in an automobile would carry her to her own gate while over half an hour would be consumed in walking the distance And Flora was bit afraid at this hour, never having been away from home alone after nightfall.
 And it was getting dark very rap idly. The sun had scarcely set when the twilight began to follow it and give way to darkness. And Flora remembered of a sudden that there was no early moon. She began to run in her anxiety to arrive home.
 When almost at her own gate some thing horrifying happened. There In tree just before, Haunted great light thing with arms outstretched One arm seemed to be waving towards Flora. Owing to the increasing dark ness, Flora could not see the crea- ture's legs, or his head. for the latter must be hidden among the trees branches. All she could make ou was the extremely long body, seem, ingly without legs, but she supposed they were clothed in dark garments the color of the night, and therefore not visible. But one arm was ex' tended towards her, and occasionally it waved, as If beckoning to her. The other am was kept closer to the long light-eolored body.
 Flora's breath came in little gasps Although she had never believed ir ghosts or "spooks," something so un- canny as this thing caused her to feel very frightened, and she knew 1t was not human being. Perhaps.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-04

after all, ghosts did exist-her mother. father and teachers to the contrary notwithstanding. But what should she do? The hideous thing was di- rectly in front of the turn in the road which led into her own home grounds. and 1t was also between her. possible for her to reach the gate without passing directly under its hanging arm.
 "It wasn't there when came out through the gate this evening"" whis- pered Flora to herself. And she was really shaking from fear. What should she do? Once she was about to turn, to retrace her steps down the road. hoping that some chance passer-by would come to her relief. when the long arm made frantic movement towards her. For a mos ment Flora felt she would faint. A terrible fear seized her, and she sank back at the side of the road, dropping behind clump of bushes that shaded her from the terrible monster in the tree.
 How long she stood there, she had no way of knowing, but the stars were now dotting the sky and the moon crept up over the long green hedge before she dared to take another peep towards the thing that had so franti- cally waved its arm at her. And then she heard voices coming down the lane from her own house. Her moth- CTS voice spoke loudest. "She's been gone long enough to have made the trip twice over. I am really uneasy. We'll walk down the road and meet her. I should never nave sent tho dear child"
 "Oh, Mrs. Clarke. Miss Flora Is all right. And you'd better wait another quarter of an hour. for MT. Clarke will be here now at half-past nine and probably fetch little Miss Flora with

 What is it. John7" ssked Ficre's mother calmly.
 Somebody has dropped duster from their machine in passing" ex- plained John. doubling up the light body and hanging 1t over convenient limb. And the high wind this evening lifted it into the tree branches. Guess the owner will come back this way and take his property"
 But John did not finish. for Flora leaped from her hiding place. sur- prised her mother by crying cut as she threw her arms about her neck: "Oh, Mamma. I've been so frightened! I've been here ever and ever so long hiding from that--that-that horrible tomobile--duster!"
 We'll. Mrs. Clarke did not see what was funny in her little girls expla- nation. but John laughed till his sides shook. And Mrs. Clarke, severely (for the first time in her life) told the old servant to stop his nonsense and go directly to his room. T shall not need you any longer" she said sharply.
 Then. after the amused cid grr- dener left them. Mrs. Clarke locked Flo-a's arm within her own and the two sauntered to the house.

 The month of June passed. the town school having closed for the summer vacation about the middle of the month. And still Mrs. Tate mourned the fact that Peter had not made any friends in town. She dressed him in his best every Sunday morning, and went to church and Sunday-sc with him. She saw that her dear boy was ignored by the boys in his Sunday-school class. But they did not dare taunt him with his "country manners" and "pigeon-toes." while in church, and even out of it on Sun days, they were obliged to behave themselves, their elders being with them. Consequently. while Mrs. Tate saw her son ignored. she did not know of his mean treatment by the boys of the town.

But Mrs. Clarke was put to some inconvenience on account of the disabled phone, and was obliged to send her little twelve-year- old daughter.

Now, I'll take you first" cried Pete. lunging unexpectedly at the leader of the three. And before the fellow could whirl about and get in position to defend himself, Pete had him by the neck and was ducking him in good old style. The second boy pretended to be standing by his leader by loud cries of. stop. you coward, or I'll duck you within an inch of your life."
 "Then do it," cried Peter, letting go of the largest boy and making off after the second one. But there he had a tussle, the second boy gripping him with one hand while he kept him. self afloat with the other. But Pete was the stronger and more expert swimmer of the two, and soon was duclxing number two as he had done number one. And all the time, num- Der one was getting ashore as fast as he could, not daring to yell out. Just as he reached the bank, weak and trembling, and Pete had decided that he had given the second boy quite enough, a wild cry of distress came from the third boy who had gone up stream. Looking in his di- rection, Pete was shocked to see the boy laundering about, throwing his hands wildly. Then he went under.
 Pete dashed out towards the spot where the floundering boy had gone down a second time. He reached him after few strong strokes. and had the wriggling, frantic form in his steady arms. Something held 1t. Feel ing about, Pete found the boy had one foot entangled in a strong grape vine

that was held in a tangled mass in some partly buried driftwood. He had the boy extrieated in a second and swam ashore with him. The boy sat up, weak and white, his eyes, ears and mouth dripping water. After a min ute or two he asked feebly: Where are Tom and Dick? Did you get through ducking 'em?"
 Yep. just in time to save you from drowning" replied Pete.
 The boy began to sniffie. "It's not my fault" he whined. T didn't want to taunt you. It was Tom as said you'd want to be the leader of the boys-if they give you half chance. for Tom said you was so big and strong. And Toms been the leader so long--he'd hate to see some one else oust him. That's the way of it. honest Injun." And the dripping boy looked up into Pete's kindly face with tears trembling on his lashes. But you saved my life"
 l It did not take Harry long to spread l the story of the ducking of Tom and Dick, and of his having been saved from drowning by the same hero whS had tucked the others And the par l enlS began to dSh quSSliolS duu tO receive replies which brought about an investigation. And-well. to shorten a long story, 'pigeon-toed" Pete was no longer heard of in the town, and a new boy, Brave Peter Tate, became the leader-not of his own accord, but through the vote of the town boys-of the very fellows who had reviled and ridiculed him so many times before.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-04

vesting himself of his clothes. And I'll show you how 1 can duck three smarties in a minute," he went on. Now, if you're not towards, stand your ground. If you are towards, get out of this river as fast as you can. And you'll be wise to choose the other bank for landing"
 ''Ah, ha, ha, hal" roared the three boys. Come in, pail" called the eld- est of the three, the leader. "We'll duck you till you'll beg for mercy
 "All right, prove it." And Peter went, head-first. into the water. He arose within few feet of the group of three boys. His strokes were so firm and strong, and he displayed such bravery that the youngest of the three, an arrant coward, started to swim up stream. going rather slowly. He did not quite like the gleam of de- termination in the deep grey-blue eyes of the freckle-faced Pete. So he de- cided to make off before getting into danger.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-04

were heard close by. They came from mid-stream, and within a few seconds. round a curve of the high bank ap- peared three boys. swimming full speeC down stream. They were recog- nized by Pete as the three meanest of his tormentors. One-a big fellow, taller than Pete-had been the first to hurl ugly epithets at Peter or his arrival in town. The others had quickly joined hip.
 The three boys saw Pete at about the same. time that he saw them. They began by calling out: Hello Pigeon-toed Peter the Greati' And Flows your starch and leather today Mister Hayseed?" ?"
 I'm pretty fair. thank you" replied Pete, holding his teeth together In ( determined manner. as he kept on di
