the end of the arm, then put it
across to the tower shaft and hang
a scale weight on the end SO that
it hangs down in the tower shaft.
Take another string and fasten it
from the end of the arm down to
the bush wheel. Then as l would
turn the crank on the bush wheel,
it pulled the arm down and that

wheel back and the weight goes
down fast.

TELL US now"
1T was one Sunday afternoon"
began the story teller. when Uncle
Rob had about ten or twelve of the
boys over here. That was too many
to play any of the quiet games, you
see. and yet the boys knew they
had to keep the Sabbath at our
house. So while they were up in
your Uncle Rob's room talking and
trying to decide what to do, Aunt
Lucy opened the door just a crack
and said, Say, boys, why don't you
play Joseph in the Pit
ut was not long before those
boys were the funniest looking
Israelites you ever saw. Some had
on old shawls with Grandfather
Gray's silk handkerchiefs around
their heads. some had old coverlids
wrapped around them, and Joe
Perry. who was the smallest in the
crowd, played Joseph and wore a
striped afghan for his coat of many
colors.
1T was in early spring so that
these blankets did not feel too hot
when the boys were out doors. and
they all trooped out in the back
yard as soon as they were rugged
up. They pulled open the wooden
door over the cistern, there where
we have the bricked in hollow
above the deep cistern itself. So
into this brick hollow they lowered
Joseph with rope, and then went
out to the barn to get old Dolly to
play the camel in the caravan.
"In the meantime while poor lit
tie Joseph was down in that dark
brick hollow suddenly something
darker than the shadows began
moving along the wall It ran a
little ways. and then stopped; then
it came little farther and stopped
until fiUally the animal was almost
up to the boy as he crouched in the
corner. 1t had a long narrow head
and great long tail that moved
slowly back and forth as the ami
NAL crept slowly along the wall this
way and that. but always nearer
and nearer to the little Joseph.
Suddenly a ray of light from the
cracks of the board door struck the
creature and made it's little beady
eyes glitter in the darkness Jo-
seph let out one shrek, at which
the frightened animal darted swift
ly forward, ran across his hand. up
the afghan and on to his back
Joseph was screaming and dancing
around like a crazy Indian, tearing
at the coat of many colors which
was tied on with the rope, while the
creature on his back was racing
back and forth. even touching the
poor boys neck sometimes.
when all Of us finally reached
the cistern door and got the half
wild Joseph out of that bricked
hollow, the animal" dropped off of
the coat and scuddled away in the
grass. II was rather large green
lizard. though only about eleven
inches long. But It was the first
one little Joe Perry had ever seen.
and It served to break up the game
of Joseph in the Pit. at least for
that afternoon.
MANY times after that the boys
spent Sunday afternoon playing
Joseph in the Pit but they never
could get Joe Perry to be the
Joseph"
