to the bend of the path, and call
Boots. But he took Gracey's hand
and held his hickory stick tight and
hard.
Well, just as they reached the curve
in the path. and were about to follow
1t, they heard moans and groans!
They stopped, their little hearts beat
ing IKE little hammers.
"S-s-sh!" whispered Gracey. Lets
creep up and peep!"
They held hands and tipped on as
softly as two mice. One. two. three,
four, FIVE steps they took, and then
leaned around the curve and peeped.
What they saw made them both
stare. At first they couldn't make 1t
out, then they saw that what looked
like an old bundle of clothes lying on
the ground was an old, old
the Witch! She was lying there. her
black shawl fallen off her white head
and she was moaning and grooming,
and somehow she reminded the chill
dren OF their Einny. the Best-of-
Grandmothers. Perhaps that is why
they both ran forward and stopped
over the old woman
"Oh, oh. OH" exclaimed Gracey,
putting her little arm under the white

smoke was c-c-ur-rling put of the
chimney!
"'Spose you go and find old Boots
you're SO brave!" said Gracey to her
brother.
well, it's not my turn, Gracey,"
replied Charlie. but. of course, II
you're 'fraid. I'll go with you. I'll
take my hickory stick"
A right" said Gracey. IF I see
the Witch I'll run away and you can
fght her with the hickory stick, only
remember a Witch has magics She
can put a wish on you"
What did Mommer say about
stories like that?" Charlie replied.
You'd orter be 'shamed of yourselfi"
Maybe she was. Anyway, Gracey
blushed n laughed and said she
was only %funning.
/ Well. the w of them set out,
keeping close together. and Charlie
began whistling for Boots.
Boots Is gettin' more'n more
worthless and unobedient every dayl"
he complained. "Il just discharge
that dog!"
Now, you know this Is the first
time he's run away this week." said
Gracey. "Of course. If you're afraid
of the Witch. Boots would be real
handy to have along!"
Il wasn't thinking about the
Witch" replied Charlie.
Gracey was a bit of a tease, I'm
afraid. Her eyes snapped like bright
berries In the snow.
"Of course. this isn't true" she
said, but I heard that once some
body was passing the witch's house
and they heard moans and gr-gr-gr-
oans. like people being gr-r-round up,

YES" moaned the Witch.
Cant we help your" asked Charlie.
well, you are nice children. aren't
your" said the witch. Il didn't think
there were any nice children now-a-
days. I thought they were all bratsl"
Charlie and Gracey did not say what
they had thought. as they knew now
that. of course. the old lady wasn't a
witch at all. They helped her TO her
feet and walked with her through tho
woods to the witch House" And
there on the mat sat Boots having an
argument with q fine, big, black cat.
The old lady hobbled to the door.
and invited the children in. The house
was little, but neat and comfortable,
and the old lady had cookies in a
brown crock and gave the children
three apiece. They thanked her po-
lltely.
Upon my word!' said the old lady.
81 didn't know such nice children ever
lived-that is. nowadays. Well.
well! You must come and see me
often"
Charlie said afterwards: well, II
she's a Witch. l like Witches-'spe-
eially their cookies"
"I think the ones who talked about
her are the Witches" cried Gracey.

what was the matter. something went
snap! snap! and out flew a big, black
cat!"
Charlie gulped a few times and
walked very near his sister, for they
were now in the woods, and the trees
made 1t rather dark. He looked
around from left to right and whistled
very LOUD. Gracey was looking
down at the puddly footsteps in the
path. and suddenly h stopped, and
cried: THERE! Look!"
Charlie jumped almost a foot off
the ground, then he looked where his
sister pointed. and. sure enough!
there was a long. draggy step in the
snow. In fact. there were lots OF long,
draggy steps leading along the path.
Let's go back and tell Mommer we
couldn't find old Boots" said Gracey.
He'll come back himself, I'm sure.
and II he's in a trap again, I him it1l
serve him right!-I'm 'fraid youIl be
scared by the Witch tracks,"
Charlie squared his jaw in a way he
had, which his mother said reminded
her of his father.
I'm not 'fraid OF tracks," he said
in a Arm voice.
Gracey wanted to go back. but she
was a good sister after all, and she
wouldn't leave Charlie. She tried 10

was bitter cold, although the snow
was slushy underfoot. Every foot
step made a puddle. Gracey saw
SO many footsteps! Peoples footsteps
and horses footsteps and rabbits foot
steps. But the puddly footstep which
made her stop and look over her
shoulder with frightened eyes was a
long, draggy step. 1t looked as IL the
person who had made it In the slushy
