man. "You will have to bring bet

him up"
"Well, I don't want him anyway"
said the policeman, "and you will
be glad to get rid Of him yourself
in day or two, for he is the most
troublesome goat you ever heard
Of. You should hear of the mis-
chief he got into at the flat we took
him from"
Every WELL" said the fireman,
'T'll stand all the trouble he will
cause"
And with that he led Billy out of
the yard into their back yard and
gave him a nice place to sleep, a
big dinner, and bucket of water,
all of which Billy was thankful for,
as he was both hungry and thirsty
after his trip to the fire.
After his first ride on the hose
cart, Billy liked it so much that ev-
cry time the cart went out Billy
went, too, and rode, as he had be-
fore, with his hind legs on the step
and his fore feet on the coil of hose

always steadied him with his arm.

Billy stayed at the fire until II
was put out and watched the hose
being rolled up, while the firemen
that were doing it talked to him all
the time.
When the hose was all on the

One fireman thought this a very

put his arm around his neck and

the road is rough and you may fall

ADVENTURES IN AN
old HAUNTED HOUSE
CHAPTER w,

Bruce was out Of bed in an in
slant and switched on the lights,
Toms pajama-clad figure following
next. They pounded on the wall as
usual, looking always for the secret
door and finding nothing. They
heard a low clicking noise; both
turned. and they saw a woman's
face disappear into the wall near
the large mirror Git was the same
Tom had seen before). Just then,
Bruce said queerly:
"G-g-good Lord! This place is
sure haunted His handsome face
was pale as he sank into the edge of
the bed. Then both began search
ing around the mirror, where the
woman's face disappeared, for the
spring or secret button. Both met
with disappointment. No sleep for
the two that night.
In the house of Mrs. O'Gill Betty
Starr was resting her sprained
ankle, under the motherly care of
Mrs. O'Gill, who felt a strange lik-
ing for Betty, and Betty had vowed
to lead a straight life for the sake
of the stranger who had helped her.
Mrs. O'Gill had declared: tom is
a fine bye" meaning Tom was a
fine boy"
And Betty felt herself drawn to-
wards him. After her foot got we'll,
she secured good position in an
office as book-keeper (Which she
had learned at high school, when
she was seventeen) and Betty did
learn to lead an honest, straight
life. She boarded with Mrs. O'Gill,
and she sometimes expressed de-
sire to see Tom. When she heard
that Tom was at the hospital, she
grew nervous and pale, and in
quired after his health day by day.
When she heard Tom was better,
her face grew brighter. Tom went
to see Betty every evening for a
time.
One night he told her how much
he cared for her. He asked her to
marry him, but she refused it, say
ing it wouldn't be right to marry
her with her old reputation
which she tried to outlive. Tom
plead. but she still shook her
head, although she loved him well.
No more noise did Tom and Bruce
hear after the shot. Bruce even
looked in the mirror next morning
to see if his hair had turned white,
because he was so frightened.
Tom renewed his threat of tear
ing down the house to find the
ghosts Next II ut. getting ready
to go to Betty's, he thought how
queer the dragon, on tho bottom of
the tall mirror looked, so he robbed

So. the two men went into the po-

at their heels, laughing to himself

The Old Cabin

One summer day about l o'clock.
a boy named James, and l started
for an old cabin north of town. AT
ter walk that lasted about one
hour, we arrived. 1t was dirty
old cabin.
We first looked around on the
first floor. We did not find any
thing of interest. So we started
for the attic. We found a half.
rotted ladder, which we soon
climbed. When we reached the top
we found it to contain only one
room and a closet, which James
went in to explore. He found a
loose board which he raised. When
he raised it, all the others dropped
out. He fell down a narrow hole
for about 20 feet. When he stopped
he found he had landed in the Gel
lar. 1t was made of logs for the
floor. He called for me to help
him out. He was safely on the
floor in a minute. We would have
explored it if he hadn't looked at
his watch and had seen it was
4 o'clock.
We said we were coming out
again. We got home about S
o'clock. We had a very nice time.

THE CLAN OF NORTH AMERICA
v. The Camp Directors
Francis Rolt-Wheeler

There had not been any close
contests with regard to the election
of these governors, but the election
Of Camp Director was a different
matter. The Council nominated
three fellows: John Jansen. the
hard-headed son of a retired
farmer; Pierre McTavish, a brill
liant, but somewhat eccentric chap
Of French and Scotch ancestry;
and Max Schulz, the best writer on
any OF the school papers.
Active personal campaigns were
waged, and on election evening. in
the largest high school auditorium
In Juventon, each Of the three can
didates addressed the Camp mem
bers. Johns speech was the most
practical, Pierre's the most inspir-
ing, but Max burst out with a vol
ume Of oratory that fairly swept
the crowd off its feet. The ballot
ing was secret. but simple. Seventy
votes did not take long to cast. and
only few minutes to count.
The result was a surprise. In
spite of Max's brilliant oratory, he
had gained only IL votes. Johns
practical suggestions had won him
"a sympathizers, but the inspiring
leadership OF Pierre found it's ans
wer in 81 ballots. Pierre's speech
of acceptance and appreciation
brought down the house. He said:
Camp members, I'm not going to
deny that I'm proud I'm elected. I
wanted to be. And I honestly be-

stores, and take their knives and
white and talk, there was once a
girl Her name was Prudence. She
was tall and slender, with beauti-
full grey eyes and soft brown hair
that was inclined to be curly. Her
parents used strict discipline with
her. They did not want her to go
to any kind of shows and dances,
thinking that church-going was the
proper way to raise her.
Prudence went to school with her
friends. They would often talk OF
going to show to see what they
looked like.
One day, Prudence's best friend,
Betty, came running at her, waving
her hand.
whats the matter?' asked Pru-
dence.
ooh, haven't you heard there is a
city girl coming out here to VISIT!
exclaimed Betty.
What is her name?" asked Pru-
dence.
II don't know said Betty.
Prudence and Betty hardly got
their Lesson for thinking of the city
girl and her clothes and how she
would look and what her name
would be. The girls could hardy
wait until vacation came so the
girl would come. :,
Il bet she has brown eyes and
brown hair" said Betty.
81 bet she has brown eyes and
red hair" said Prudence.
The next day school closed for
the summer and all the girls were
glad.
A week passed and no girl came
to the little Quaker town.
One day Prudence and Betty
were walking down the little vii
lage street when the train came in.
A young girl got off the train. She
was just Prudence's size. but all
the girls could see was pair of big
blue eyes and a CLEAN of short vel
low curls dancing in the sunlight.
She had on a beautiful travelling
suit and Prudence could only stare
at her.
Gould you tell me where Mrs.
Thompson lives?" asked the girl as
she approached Prudence.
why - why yes said Pru-
dence, "she lives right next door
to U.s."
oh, good" said the wonderful
girl, you can take me there then"
AS they walked down the street
the girl asked, what is your
name?"
my name is Prudence Whitley.
What is yours?"
"Oh, mine is Isabel Harrington.
Where are the shows in this town?
Don't they have any"
NO. said Prudence. what are
they like?"
Isabel couldn't tell Prudence, for
they were at the gate of Isabeps
aunt's house.
The little house was white, with
ever so many vines, trees and
flowers.
The next day was Sunday and
Prudence went to see if Isabel
could 60 to church with her. Isabel
met Prudence half way there.
"Oh!" said Isabel, 81 got tele-
gram to come at once"
"Oh. that's too bad" said Pru-
dence. 1T will spoil your vaca-
ton"
Prudence went on to church and
met Betty.
"Oh." said Prudence, "the new
girls name is Isabel and she has to
go home today"
Prudence and Betty didn't 20 to
church that day. They ran away to
the woods and began to talk of
IsabePs clothes, and how nice it |
was to have such clothes and go to
dances and shows.
After awhile they decided they |
would run away and go to the city. |
When they reached New York
the tall buildings looked cold and
grey and the lights were dazzling to
their eyes. Everybody seemed to
be in a hurry.

found it wonderful. After awhile
