stand still for his mother to

his nails to look nice and clean. or at

"I am sorry my little boy would

kissed him goodnight.
Frank felt very comfortable now that
he was bathed and In between the
sheets, but just the same he thought
about it and decided he did not want to
take any more baths.

and suddenly Frank felt something
splash on his face and then another
splash. and then, on his hands, and
then he felt himself being carried
through the air. and before he could
scream he was in front of queer-look-
ing. grimy-looking house When Frank
looked again he saw that the house was
covered with queer-looktng little crea-
lures with tiny eyes and a tiny little
tail They seemed to be all body. and
that was in the form Of a splash of

Then Frank knew what had hap
pened. The smudgies had taken him OF
to their house and he had his wish. He
never would have to be bathed or have
his hair brushed or anything that was
cleanly.
Into this smudgie house Frank was
carried, and then he stood up on his
feet and looked around. The room
seemed to be filled with flying smudgtes,
and when Frank looked at his hands
they could hardly be seen for the black
His clothes were covered, too. and
