Joel and Amos were eating all the
time. so that wien old Pumpkin Head
opened the door n a few minutes they
were well filled and ready to work. al
though they thought it strange to os
working by candle light. and wondered
where they were to dig.
Come along, now, all Of you lazy

drove the boys in front of him with =
long whip he carried.
But when they reached the top Of the
stairs all tho boys stopped, and old
Pumpkin Head went in front Of them
and spread out his big hands.
This time he took two boys On each
hand and carried them down the stairs,
returning until all were placed on tho
ground.
Joel and Amos had noticed the floor
was covered with boards when they
came in. but now II was one big hole,
with the sides wide enough to stand
on.
Old Pumpkin Head took each boy and
dropped him into the hole. and they all
began to dig. and tomorrow I will tell
you how they worked and what hap

They did not have even an uncle

And the little house in which they

The smoke did come from a chimney

came near to it they saw a strange
looking house built of stone and iron
bars at all the windows. The boys

about the appearance of the house. SO
they went TO the door and pounded on
Il, for that was OF iron also.
They heard some one comm in an

sure now of something to eat. but
when the door was opened they started
back. and both boys felt a little fright

before them.
But before they bad recovered enough

creature said: Come right in. my

The boys took hold Of hands. for they

much larger and broader: in fact. he
