brought the Dismals and the Dole
fuls up in a hurry. The Witch abb
ruptly gave them orders.
"Dolefuls, go fishing. Dismals,

The thunder rolled and the Dis
mails and Dolefuls vanished, leaving
Peggy alone with the Witch.

court deserves to be ruined" an

"I'll burn you up in my fire"
threatened the Witch, pointing at
The blue flame in front Of her.
Peggy laughed again. 1t was just
a will-oN the-wisp glow, about which
her father had told her, a heatless
flame from decaying wood, just like
the glow from the head of wet
match. She walked up to the flame
and stuck her hand into it.

flame" she said.

The Fear of a Laugh.

"W-W-'. hat made you e-call me

Now Peggy realized how impolite
she had been. 1t wasn't nice to call
even Witch loony.

slipped out accidentally"

den here.
1--WE are the Dismals; hear our wall;
'Gainst Joy and m!rth we loudly rail.
Every Ill we try to borrow
In this vale Of woe and sorrow"
This was a doctrine new to
Peggy. She'd always believed in
smiles and laughter. From the Night
Herons, lined up on the opposite
side of the Witch, came a similar
chorus:
I'VE are the Dolefuls, never glad;
We waste our time In being sad.
No one can Join our gloomy crew
Who doesn't cheerfulness eschew."
Peggy looked at them in puzzled
curiosity. If they followed that pol
icy no wonder they lived in a
swamp in the company of witch
The Dismals gave groan and the
Dolefuls sighed loudly. This tickled
Peggy's funny bone. She felt a
laugh coming. 1t was just like a
sneeze; she couldn't stop it.
"Hal ha! hap the laugh burst
forth. Its effect was surprising. The
Dismals sat up straight. threw their
heads back. and let out lot Of
mournful croaks. The Dolefuls
creaked like a lot of rusty hinges
and tried to stand on their heads.
Peggy's laugh got away from her
again.
"Ha! ha! ha" she fairly shrieked.
The Dismals and Dolefuls began to
run around the Witch in a circle.
The Witch herself screeched and
squawked. And the faster they ran
and the more the Witch squawked.
the harder Peggy laughed.

shrieked the Witch, and the Dismals
and Dolefuls obeyed. As they lined
up and looked at Peggy. however,
their croaks and creaks began to
change into queer chuckles. Peg
gy's laugh was like yawn or the
measles-it was contagious. They
couldn't resist it. In a minute the
Dismals and Dolefuls had forgotten
all about their mirthless doctrine and
were joining in her merriment. And
it was so long since they had laugh

didn't know how to control them
