IF you don't report here by ten
o'clock I'll send the town marshal
after you," pronounced his father, with
fire in his eye.
Norman marched out of the house,
hung around downtown until eight
o'clock, and then repaired to the
agreed-on rendezvous of the crowd, an
old buggy shed attached to a great
barn owned by Farmer Logan. He
felt uneasy stubborn and nettled. Re-
Gently he had been dared by his COM
panions to smoke a cigarette. He
had met the dare and now, with two
of them in his pocket, he lit one, and,
in sheer rebellion against his fathers
system, was about to puff out his re-
sentiment when the signal cry of his
comrades echoed forth Carelessly
throwing the lighted cigarette into a
corner of the she'd he bounded out
and for over an hour forgot all save
the excitement of the moment. The
unruly coterie rolled a giant SNOWFALL
and let it slide down the hill leading
to the town common; they got up into
the town hall tower and rang its bell.

Of cattle from a live stock enclosure

rush of the village fire cart, making

shouted a chorus of excited voices, and
Norman Hardy's heart stood still. He
recalled the cigarette and the Uttered
woodshed. He stood dumb and
scared. The flames completely en-
gulfed the great frame barn. Norman
skunk off alone by himself, oppressed
with an appalling sense of guilt. His
emotions were dOubly intensified when
he heard some one say:

another. "The barn was stored with
grain and machinery and the insur-
ance ran out last week."
Norman was crushed with a sense
Of his culpability, He felt like flying
from home, town and all the peo-
pie he had ever known. He skulked
behind hedge as a group Of girls
came slong. They were discussing
the fire so eXcitedly that they paid no
attention to lone member of their
group trailing on behind them. Nor
man noticed her, however. She was
Milly Daniels. He startled her by
stepping directly in her path.
Just linger for moment, will you,
Milly?' he spoke under high agita-
ton, "Or I'll walk with you bit. I'm
in terrible trouble, and I'm going to
leave town for good" and Norman re-
cited the entire story of the evening.
There's only one way out don't you
see it, Milly?' he said. Il don't dare
to face Farmer Logan; I'm going away
to make something of myself. and the
day I have got the money to make it
square with Mr.. Logan I'm coming
back. And AIily, dear, you have been
my truest friend and have always
stood by me. viii you try to think
Of me while I'm gone will you-win

1t was few minutes after midnight
five years to a day since Norman
Hardy had gone forth into the world
TO seek his fortune. Milly had pleaded
to sit up and watch the old year out
and the new year in. All three of
the family, though in different ways,
were thinking of the boy who had run
away from home. The bells had just
finished a resonant chime when the
knob of the outside door turned.
There stepped into the room bronzed,
stalwart young man, at a sight of
whom Joel Hardy gasped incredu-
lously, his wife uttered joyous
scream. and Milly stood breathess and
fluttering.

Joel Hardy left the room. He re-
turned with the strap that had been
so familiar to his son. Taking out his
pocketknife, the old man proceeded to
cut the strap to pieces and flung them
into the blazing CRATE.

entire year. There are many interest
ing ways of entertaining a New Years
party, but the fayorite of all is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way of having this sort of
entertainment is to give ghost party
The invitations read in this manner: !:
Our good old Father Time
Has promised to convene
The shades of many notables
To meet you New Years cen.
Well look for you, you know,
To help to make things go,
And incidentally to meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.
There should be 20 or more guests,
and after the invitations have gene
out, the hostess has a little private
chat with her guests over the tele-
phone. She requests them to come
dressed to represent some famous per-
son now dead, pantomime, words, geS-
lures and costume being used to carry
out the impersonation.
Dressed in a misty black robe COW
cred with stars cut from gold paper,
the hostess will receive her guests in
q room draped all in white. Sheets or
cheesecloth can be used for this. No
word is spoken until little red imp
distributes cards and pencils to the
assembled guests. Then each in turn
speaks some word or does some stunt
to suit his or her character. The
person guessing the greatest number
correctly receives pretty copy of the
book, Ghosts / Have Met"
Games, contests and dancing will
follow, and the supper or refresh
ment table will be filled with things
tempting enough to attract even the
most ghOstly appetite. The table dec
orations should correspond with the
festivities of the season. A New
Years pie made of crepe paper over a
deep pan is filled with dainty little
favors for the guests or cards upon
which some funny rhyme is written
for each individual guest. Part of the
entertainment for the evening may
be the telling of fortunes, informing
each guest of their fate for the COM
ing year.
Whatever you do, don't let anyone
shatter your faith in New Years reso-
lutionS. They are the best things ever
if you know how to handle them and
the most discouraging things If you
don't.

"My boy" spoke his father after
a moment of ominous deliberation
"when ! was lad of ten. my father
taught me a lesson that has left its
impress on my whole life in a salu-
tary way. Upon the tick of midnight
just preceding my birthday he always
called me down to the kitchen and
gave me a good sound strapping. 1t
hurt him more than it did me, he used
to say, but the reminder would be
ever present with me. Until l was
twenty-one, regularly, upon each birth
day the strap played its part and
] think it did good deal towards
teaching me that l had a master and
in making me a better man. / have
concluded to adopt that feature with
my system. You're a pretty good boy,
but for fear you might kick over the
traces I'm going to bulk the system
until you are of age. Now, then,
take your punishment like man."
Joel Hardy produced a short, thick
piece of tanned cOwhide and Norman
WINGED, but did not cry out during
the unique castigation. 1t was five
years later, and with the usual routine
late in the afternoon Joel Hardy re-
minded Norman of the pending mid
night event. His eyes bulged and his
face betrayed overwhelming amaze
