Jim's Scare

Once upon a time there lived in a
little village boy who's name was
James, but all the boys called him
jim. He was ten years Old and
very mischievouS, 1t was Hal
lOwe'en and Jims mother told him
that he had to sit in front OF the
fire place and read till bed time.
All at once it seemed as if his
mother went out of the room. He
got up and slipped out the back
door and met some other boys who
were going to an old haunted house
at the far end of the village. When
they reached the house the rest OF
the boys wanted to back out and
go home. Jim was a brave little
boy so he said that he would 90 in
the house by himself. When he
reached the top Of the rackety old
stairs he heard a grOan come from
the room across the hall. He went
over and had just stepped inside
the door when long slender honey
hand grabbed him. He turned to
see skeleton in front of him. He
screamed but the other boys had
gone home just as he went in. jim
took one step and through the
floor he went. When he picked him
self up he found to his horror that
the room Was full OF ghosts, all
staring at him as if he were piece
Of cake They all made dive for
him. Just then he found himself in
the arm chair where his mother
had put him.
"Oh, what a dream" said jim.

heads, had been hitched to each cir

At another signal from the bugle,
hey all started to move, led by the
men and women performers, dress

suits. Then came what Billy
thought to be the best thing in the
procession, a golden chariot drawn
by twelve Shetland ponies, each
pony ridden by little boy postil-
