MIR. Hunter S Boy

There wasn't a boy in the whole
city who didn't know who Mr..
Hunter was. He made the funny
cartoons for the daily paper-those
cartoons about Stub and Fat and
the rest of the gang" In which
they were always getting into
some mischief and having the most
exciting adventures. Every one
knew who Hunter of the Times"
was.
Junior Hunter was very proud of
his father. He liked being pointed
out as Mr., Hunters son. He knew
that other boys looked at him en-
viously and wished their fathers
were famous cartoonists instead of
being common bankers or lawyers
or something like that.
But Junior soon began to realize
that there were some drawbacks to
being the son of a comic strip art
list. Weren't Mr.. Hunters cartoon
boys always lively fellows who got
into all sorts of trouble? Some
how, every n had the idea that
Junior must give his father ideas
for the cartoons, They expected
him to be a young desperate. And.
really, there was never a qu~ieter,
more peaceful boy than Junior
Hunter.
That year they moved and Jun
ior started into the Ferry school.
His fathers fame made him a
marked boy at once.
Wonder what's the matter with
junior" said Mr.. Hunter one day
to his wife. "He doesn't seem to
take much interest in his school
work. He mopes around and seems
unhappy. Why, he hardly speaks
to me at all any more"
ooh, l guess he's growing fast"
said Mrs. Hunter.
But one night Junior did not
come home from school. Dinner
time came and he did not show up.
. search was started. 1t was
morning before Junior was located
in a barn outside of town.
81 was running away, of course"
he said, stubornly. His father and
mother were surprised. They
they had always been the
of parents. what hap
pened yesterday was the last
he explained. Somebody
hit the teacher with a paper wad.
She kept me in. Honest, | didn't
do it. But / heard her telling an
other teacher that she had to keep
an eye or me cause | must be a
young terror, judging from those
pictures my father draws"
And that is why Hunter of the
fines does cartoons about poll
les mostly now.

The five boys shivered and drew
closer to the fire. The cave was tt
the foot of the big hill. Between
this hill and the river was their
camp. They sometimes stored
things in the cave mouth. Several
of them claimed that if you went
in there in the evening and yelled
"Halloo!" a faint, mocking sort of
reply came back, not sounding at
all like a regular echo.

CHAPTER x.
In the cresste House

Sure enough, it was Cresste
farmi Jimmy was bubbling over
with excitement. while Virginia
was almost shaking with fright.
However,she dared not be afraid,
for,-hadn't Jimmy called her a
coward? Cautiously Jimmy tried
all the doors to see IL they might
be open. When they came to the
front Of the house, they were al
most afraid to walk on the porch,
which was so decayed that it
might give way at any moment.
1t must be done, however, so, pick
ing out the places that looked the
safest, they noiselessly tip-toed
acros the porch, and Jimmy tried
the door. Lo, it opened SO easily
that it might have been by magic!
When they entered, they found
themselves in a large room.
BE careful" whispered Vir-
ginia to Jimmy, who was flashing
his light around c~arelessly, you
are too careless with your light.
You know there is some one in
h5:ra!"
ooh. Al; -.aht." said Jimmy, but
what makes you INK there is
someonein the h~ouse2"
SILLY" scorned Virginia. who
do you suppose makes those lights
and who does the shrieking? Some
body does, that's sure"
This time, however, Virginia did
not lead the way, but hung right
behind Jimmy all of the time. The
shrieks still continued and sounded
as if they came from the upper
story Of the house, and SO they
quickly, but very quietly, began to
ascend the stairs. When they had
reached the top they found still
another flight of stairs which evil
IDENTIFY led to the garnet. This
time the shrieks sounded close at
hand, and so the children were
very quiet and cautious In going up
this last flight of stairs. When
they had gone. up the last step,
they found themselves in a small,
rectangular room, but although
the shrieks were ringing in their
very ears, they could not tell
whence they came.
"Oh, Jimmy" whispered Vir-
ginia, with her hands over her ears,
there must be real ghosts in here,
after ALL"
"Shucks, Virginia." he laughged.
You're losing confidence in your
self. AS you said before. those
shrieks must come from some
where. Now, let's hunt"
He turned OF his light and began
to hunt around in the garnet.

ginia, after watching his queer
