unpleasant experience in the past. He
,recorked the bottle, placed 1t under
his arm, and muttered:
! "You betcha! Guess they won't like
this so much Sprinkle it in their ole
eyes -
1t now became his purpose to make
his way cautiously to the front stair
way, descend to the front hall, and
thence, by the front door, reach the
outer air. So, with slow and noiseless
motions, he put himself once more in
possession of his ak and carving knife,
thrust the latter in the breast of his
Jacket, and, though encumbered to the
point of difficulty by the ak, the gun
and the camphor bottle, returned TO
the upper hall and began an advance
in force.
He went forward a dozen steps with
some confidence, then halted alb
ruptly.
What stopped him was something al
together inside himself. In the dark
ness a green vapor appeared (though
not at the other end Of the hall, where
he thought it did) and there emerged
from it the shocking figure of an
old man lying in the rain at the mouth
of a wind-swept cavern. The vision or
the sawdust box-spiteful, like all
other visions-chose this particular
moment to recur to the author OF
Dopaoraz -
He was standing by the portal OF his
own bedroom. Gasping, he hoped
across the threshold, kicked the door
shut. and maintained possession OF
his armory, though, perhaps, not OF
his faculties, huddled himself upon
the bed and buried his face in the pill
low.
It is not altogether discreditable to
q bov in the dark that he sometimes
initiates an ostrich. But it is unfor-
tunate. because, when one is already
in the dark, very little relief can be OBJ
tained by closing the eyes.
Penrod, burrowing into his pillow,
could see the old man rather more
plainly than If he had allowed his eyes
to remain open. He saw him through
the pillow and through the wall; 1T
seemed that the old man was lying
on the hall rug just outside the
closed door, and that before long he
would get up and come into the bed

red, was becoming more and more SEN
sitive' every moment. He suffered from
an unpleasant CONVICTION that he was
surrounded by vital dangers which be-
came the deadlier for each slightest
movement that he made. These Gan-
gers were all the more deadlier be-
cause they were underlined; the inscru-
tible darkness held Secrets-and, put
ting out his hand to feel the wall near
the kitchen door, he encountered one
of them. His fingers very, very BRIEF
ly closed upon something that felt
like a head of wet, cold hair. 1t sank
from his touch, and there was a thick
sounding thud upon the floor.
"Oofr' moaned Penrod, the question
of going out through the kitchen thus
definitely settled, and when he became
again conscious OF his whereabouts he
was on the second floor at the top of
the back stairs.
Mops had driven greater than Pen
rod.
He was sorely shaken, but not dis
posed to linger in the vicinity of stairs
that led toward kitchen inhabited by
surprises of this kind. He fled into his
fathers bed chamber, bruising him
self variously in the passage thereto,
and, abandoning his weapons for the
moment, slid his hand along the wall
until it came to forbidden object
that hung there.
1t was an Enfield rifle, a muzzle-
loading relic, last put to use by Pen
rods grandfather on a day in the year
1863, and it was truly unloaded. Pen
rod got it down, pointed the muzzle
waveringly in the general direction of
the door by. which he had entered, and
whispered feebly and tremulously:
"Now let's see whu-what you were
goin' to do so mum-much!"
He maintained this attitude until the
fyeight of the extended rifle became
insupportable then he grounded arms
and leaned against bureau, breath
ing even more vehemently than before.
His elbow touched a bottle; he seized
upon it and smelled the contents-spir-
its of camphor. Suggestion was i'm

GIRL RUNS "SHINE PARLOR''
Declares That She Has Lots OF Gus

Makes Good Money.

AS the man with the dust-c0vered
shoes climbed into a chair In a shoe
shining "parlor" in Ft. Wayne avenue,
relates the indianapolis News, a neat,
trim-looking colored girl came briskly
out of back room.
"Good morning" replied the pros
pective customer. where's the shoe
shiner?"
"That's me. I'm the sinner"
as that so? Well, you are the first
girl ever saw shining shoes. Like
the business?"
'Indeed, l do. 1t pays me well and
we are all looking for the money these
days."
'rHow did you happen to get into
this kind of work|
"WeIl, it was like this. My cousin,
who owns this place, runs a transfer
wagon. He is away so much he had to
have somebody stay here and answer
the telephone and look after the busi-
ness. He tried boys for while, but
they are all gone TO war or talking
about it and it was hard to keep them,
so he gave me the job. This used 10
be a shining parIor and so many men

strawberries IN the yard took curious,
changing shapes, and Penrod kept a
wary eye upon them as he threaded
his way to the kitchen door.
1t opened to his hand, revealing
nothing save by reminiscent odor; but
there was a dim light in the dining
room. Thither he proceeded, his un-
nerved condition being at once inn
proved by the sight of viands and vege-
tables, for there was plate upon the
table at his accustomed place, and
food plenteous, though grown cold.
A conjunction of suggestions, oc-
curring as he ate, recalled something
like an echo of Della's voice; gradu-
ally he became susceptible to an inn
preston that his father and mother
and sister had not dined at home.
Then abruptly it struck him that he
might be alone in the house.
"All alone in an empty house!" AS
the words formed in Penrod's mind, it
was as if husky voice had uttered
them somewhere overhead. He was
grievously startled.
"An empty housed"
At the upper end of the table was
a part of cold ham, beside which lay
a large, handled carving knife
and Penrod, after swallowing dryly
once or twice, lnnged suddenly at this
implement, grasped it, and stood upon
the defensive. He remained in tense
attitude, listening; and there was no
sound either within the house or with
out; nothing could have been more
lominoHs. Finally, carving knife in
hand, he went back to the kitchen,
where he had left the ak, and returned
Ito the dining room doubly armed.
Again he stood to listen.
Suddenly Penrod whirled straight
about, with ak and carving knife both
aifted to strike at something behind
him.
Nothing was there except the side
board, so he 'bout-faced suspiciously
again. Then, laying the ak upon the
table, but keeping the knife in his
right hand, he stepped upon a chair
and extended his left hand to the gas
fixture, meaning to turn the jet on
full. But he pressed the key in the

wrong direction, and for the second
time within that half-hour Penrod's
light went out. To a person in his
condition it was a disaster, and, ut
tering an exclamation of horrorr, he
stumbled and fell from the chair with
a light crash.
He was up again in an instant, cut
ting the air in all directions with the
carving knife; then he CROPPED for the
AK. found it, and stood still once more,
on the defensive, listening intently, ex-
pecting the worst and painting, with
an effect, upon that stiffness, almost
uproarious.
He moved about and cautiously felt
his way round the table and debauch-
ed to the mantelpiece, where matches
were sometimes to be found in a small
porcelain slipper, madly believed to
be decorative.
A chill struck to his spine at verit-
able sound behind him. This one was
q faint creak, the result of some cap
illary action in the wooden floor, Dut
so far as Penrod's nerves were con-
cerned it might have been shot.
Wheeling, he struck frantic blow
with the ak, which, completing fine
curve. miraculously failed to ampu-
tate the wielder's left foot at the
ankle. but, as an incident, permanent
lv relieved all members of the house
hold from troubling to put any more
matches in the porcelain slipper.
Thereupon Penrod decided to go
outdoors. The decision itself was
simple matter; action upon it was de-
ferred because of extreme hesitation
to move at ALL But after gruesome
neriod of inertia he began to tlptoe
backward in the direction of the door,
keeping his eyes, ak and carving knife
warily toward where the villainous
creak had sounded. Thus retrOgress-
ing. he presently found himself in the
side hall, which separated all the 'front.'
mart of the roomy, Old-fashiOned house
from the dining room and kitchen.
The doors leading to the forward
rooms were closed, and the thought of
epening them filed him with horror !;
in his minds eye he saw them, gaunt,
huge. full of black shapes of furniture,
lurking places that might conceal
anything!
An empty house In the nighttime
has few attractions for a boy. In
closed darkness sickens his soul and
likewise has a discsuraging physical
effect; climaxing in the pit OF MS

the rooms opening from it, and out of
these rooms issued sounds of sudden
confusion and disturbance. His moth
er rushed to him through the near"

"Penrod! What on earth"
Then through the open front door
came Margaret and four young men
who had been spending the evening
with her on the front porch.
Then. following Penrod's mother,
came three of Penrod's aunts, one
uncle, and eleven other alarmed ladies
and gentlemen, most of them holding
cards in their hands.
Then through the door of another
room came Penrod's father, three or
Penrod's uncles, one aunt and the
eleven remaining members of the
