4 I'M or SO ago, that the Observer
4 i was among the missing. Or
maybe you did not. Any
how. there was a reason for it. and
here it is:
He attended funeral on the Satur-
day night before the Sunday that he
was missing and. hence. he was una
BILE to be in these here respective COL
umns.
No, 1t was not funeral with q
wake. 1t was a different kind of q
funeral than any you ever attended,
perhaps.
ambitions Of one of his friends.
For a long time this particular
friend has cherished ambitions to-
ward the stage. AS a youngster he
made hit as fake bloodhound in a
tom show" and ever after that. UNI
til the aforesaid funeral took place,
he kept thinking he had the makings
of an almost great actor in him. Not
only did he think it. but he made
speeches and appeared in bum anna
tour theatricals at every opportunity,
and confided to the Observer on one
or two or three occasions that all he
needed was chance and he would
make the memories of Booth, Mans
field and others fade away as smoke.
Then came the chance and, incident
ally. the fading. But 1t was our
friend, and not Booth. that faded.
For wesk before the show the OBJ
server was forced to listen to the
rawlings OF his friend on the big
chance thai had come to him
Real stage. footlights and every
thing" the friend shouted, hoarsely,
in announcing the chance. For a
good cause. too. Soldier fund, or
something like that. Name In the pa
pers, maybe"
After a few days of this the OBJ
server got his friend down to earth
long enough to CLEAN from him the
infocmatiG.l that he proposed to do
q travesty on popular song writer
to write song in very bum style
and sing 1t in worse style and get his
laughs from the audience by showing
how rotten he was. 1t was to be a
blaca face stunt. There was advan-
tage in that, the Observers friend
said because nobody would recognize
MIN. His name, by the way, was not
to be announced. He was to be known

which IL at the North Of the Land
Of Oh lived a youth called Tip
There was more to his name than
that, for old Mombi often declared
that his whole name was Tippetarius
but no one was expected to say such a
long word when Tip" would do Just
a. well.
This boy remembered nothing of his
parents, for he had been. brought
when quite young to be reared by the
old woman known as Mombi. whose
reputation. 1 am sorry to say. was
F. none of the best. For the Gillikin
people had reason to suspect her of
INDUCING in magical arts, and there
fore hesitated to associate with her.
Mombi was not exactly a Witch,
because the Good Witch who ruled
that part Of the Land Of OF had for
hidden any other Witch to exist in her
dominions. So Tips guardian, how
ever much she might aspire to work.
ing magic, realized it was unlawful to
be more than a Sorceress, or, at most,
q Wizardess.
Tip was made to, carry wood from
the forest that the old woman might
boil her pot. He also worked in the
cornfields, hoeing and husking, and
no fed the pigs and MIXED the four
horned COW that was Mombi's es-
pscial pride.
But you must not suppose he work.
cd all the time, for he felt that would
be bad for him. When sent to the
Forest Tip often climbed trees for
birds eggs or amused himself chas-
Ing the fleet white rabbits or fishing
in the brooks with bent pins. Then
he would hastily gather his armful Of
wood and carry it home And when
he was supposed to be working in the
cornfields and the tall stalks hid him
from Mombis view. Tip would often
dig in the gopher holes, or-if the
mood seized him-lie upon his back
between the rows Of corn and take a
nap. So by taking care not to ex-
haust his strength. he grew as strong
and rugged as a boy may be.
Mombfs curious magic often fright
ened her neighbors, and they treated
her shyly. yet respectfully, because of
her weird powers. But Tip frankly
hated her, and took no pains to hide
his feelings. Indeed, he sometimes
showed less respect for the old
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-12-22

Next morning, when he looked at
his work again, Tip saw he had for
gotten to give the dummy a neck by
means of which he might fasten the
pumpkinhead to the body. So he
went again to the forest, which was
not far away, and chopped from a
tree several pieces of wood with
which to complete his work. When
he returned he fastened a cross piece
to the upper end Of the body, making
hole through the center to hold up
right the neck. The bit of wood
which formed this neck was also
skarpened at the upper end. and when
all was ready Tip put on the pumpkin
head, pressing it we'll down onto the
neck, and found that 1t fitted very
we'll. The head could be turned to
one side or the other, as he pleased.
and the hinges of the arms and legs
allowed him to place the dummy in
any position he desired.
Now, that" declared Tip. proudly.
sis really a very fine man and 1t
ought to brighten several screeches
out of old Mombi! But it would be
much more lifelike If it We're properly
dressed"
To find clothing seemed no easy
task, but Tip boldly ransacked the
great chest in which Mombi kept all
her keepsakes and treasures, and at
the very bottom he discovered some
purple trousers, red shirt and a
pink vest which was dotted with
white spots. These he carried away
to his man and succeeded. although
the garments did not fit very well, in
dressing the creature in a jaunty
fashion. Some knit stockings belong
ing to Mombi and much-worn pair
Of his own shoes completed the mans
apparel, and Tip was so delighted
that he danced up and down and
laughed aloud in boyish ecstacy.
II must give him a name!" he cried.
80 good a man as this must surely
have a name. I believe" he added,
after a moments thought. II will
name the fellow Jack Pumpkin
head!" III, .,,y az

the brilliant Observer said.

There were pumpkins in Mombrs

the rows Of green stalks, and these
had been planted and carefully tended
that the four-horned COW might eat
Of them in the winter time. But one
day, after the corn had all been cut
