Charlie and ,Will Rogers were Sup-
posed to be wrapped in the healthful,
innocent sleep of boyheed
•
But ior more tan an hour Charlie
had been gazing at that twinkling
star, that seemed to yank knowingly,
back at hhn, and his thoughts were
very, very busy all the while.
Ansi considering the fact that
Charlie was a well-bred lad, those
thoughts were very strange ones. Fin-
nily flung the quilts aside find
turned over to -wake Will with an
energetic pinch.
"0 -o -oh!" said Will, now wide
awake.
"I say, Willi Do you like honey?"
,"Of course I doe'
"Do you want some?"
"I shouldn't object,"
"Let's get it then."
"Where?"
"From old John Alton's apiary.
There's lots there. I saw it to -day
when I carried bin saw home. He was
at work among the bees. He's taken
theroost of it away, but there's lots"-
left.""You wouldn't eteal, Charlie?" -
"You don't suppose he'd give us
any, do you, Will? He's too stingy' for
that. He'd never -miss :what little
we'd take, and it isn't so badato take
anything from him. FIe's an old skin-
flint, anyhow."
"Oh, Charliel As if stealing wasn't
isrteoamlittg, no mutter Who we.teek 4
"Well, anyhow, I'm going to have
sornee'
Ansi Charlie began feeling for
his clothes.
"Of course I'm With you, Charlie. I
want some honey as bad as, you do,
but it doesn't seem -just right."
"We won't take but a little, and no
one will be the wiser. Don't make any
noise. Come on!"
rt is strange how each 'individual
stair will groan and every door will
utter a moaning protest hs the still-
neas of night loud enough to awaken
the eounciest sleeper. The boys never
had thought of it before. In fact, this
was their first nocturnal raid.
Down the stairs they crept, catching
their breath ,as a stair creaked louder
than -usual under their.cautious foot-
steps, and reached the kitchen doer
without disturbing the. deep snoring
that same from ,the bedroom where
Mr. llogers and his good vvife were
peacefelly slumbering, unconscious of
the fact that their sone' footsteps
'were straying into- forbidden paths.
Suddenly there was a break in the
sonorous' sounds, a haslet the door -
creaked loudly as it was slowly open-
ed by Will's hand, and there father's
Voice was heard i
"Who's there?"
"Quick now, Charlie!" tvhispered
Will, as he slipped through the small
space, not daring to open the door
further.
Thee tiptoed through the woodshed
and slipped behind the ram barrel by
the otttside door. • '
"Strange!" said their father's voice.
"I'm sere I shut this door, and here
it is open. It meat be the wind is
rising and blew it open."
"We're in. leek, Wile': said Charlie.
"Father thinks -the wind blew the door
open. Come on, now; the coast is
clear."
Than they crept across the yard,
climbed the fence and ran es.pidly
along the highway toward John Al-
to/es house.
To reach there, however, they had
to cross a dark, dismal swamp near
the lake, and many tear -inspiring
starlet w,ere told of savege, wild ani-
mals that inhabited it. No one had
actually seen anything terrible, but ,
many were ready to affirm that they
had heard urlacroentable noises in the
gloomy swamp at nighttime. I
"I wish we -were there and back
again," said Will, as they entered the,
darkest part of the swamp.
The trees nearly met above their,
heads, mid the autumn wind moaned
and sighed through the tall etter-1
greens.
"What's that, Charlie?" asked Will,
with chattering teeth.
And they both stopped to listen.
"That? Why,. that's only a hem-
lock stump, Come on. Don't be a
simpleton. It'll be meriting before we
get our honey, if we don't hurry,"
answered Cluerlie ,with a shew of
bravery he was far from feeling. .
In face Charlie had mueh wather
be safe in his bed watching the twink-e
ling Star as it Winked through the
window of his .room; butle Wouldn't
say so, nor turn back ----oh, no; not for
the world. ' I
"It isn't a hemlock stump this
time," said Will, grasping Charlie's
hand. "Listen!" ,
Once more they stopped and listen-
ed intently. No; that was no fallen
tree trunk. Charlie acknowledged
that; but 'he could not tell what it
really was, and then came such a
strange, unearthly noise.
,Again it sounded, nearer than at
first ---the most hideous, awful noise
they had eller heard. ,
All the seories of the lenely swamp
came fresh to'their inemoties now, and
011erlie was the first to run. Nieves'
before had ;they been known to run
so fastinot Oen when the minister's
barn Was burned. But something ran
easter than they.
Each time the teirible noise soiree -
ed nearer than before, and 00011 thee
could plainly hear the rapid steps
ef the something that tvas pursuing,

uOlimb a tree, Charlie,e gasped
Will, who felt that he could not keep
that headlong pace much longer.
"Yest--come!" replied Charlie, as
the noise sounded not thirty feet be-
hind thein,
leartine acre vi the ditch, they
grasped at the low houghs of the first -
tree they inc tv ttno lueittly, each

'Will go •by? Cam it climb?"
questioned Will, as he hugged the
trunk of the tree.
No, it did not go by. On the con-
trary, It aoPlied dIreetlY under tise

'WhatIITIC do you suppose it is?"
said Charlie, at last. "The moon is

Will. It's on your side a the tree."
• Will cautiously crept out on 0 large
limb and looked doWnward. "It" was
lying quietly at the foot of tho tree—
he could tell that much; but he wail
quite certain that he liad never seen
anything like it. -
"How' large is it?"' asked Charlie,
"Larger than old Bruno, and you
lthow he weighs most a hundred and
fifty pounds. Maybe—oh, Charlie!
maybe It's an 'Indian devil,' Tom
Jones says that they will never climb
a tree their intended pree' is in. Is
it—oh,. Charlie, is it?"
And Will shook with fright as badly
as he had done with the cold..
,I—don't—know—I'm sure," ans-
Wered Charlie very tremuloUslY. t
'wish we'd neve i thought of corning—,
that is, I wish I hadn't, You were net'
to blame, or I coaxed you."
"No, you didn't, Charlie," averred
Will, eagerly, ready to beat his share
a the blame. "I needn't have come
in, if I hadntt a mind to. But r with
we were at home, and I never, neverel
go to steal again," groaned the peer
boy, as Ve crept to his seat by the
tree trunk. "
eNor I, either," said Charlie, em-
phatically. "No wonder father says
the way of the transgressor is hard."
Then they waited in silence for the
day to dawn, two cold, shivering, re-
pentant boys perched among the thiek
branches of the-seruce tree, with `an
awful "Something" at the foot of it
Slowly the darkness gave way to
the gray dawn, the 'weird, fantastic
shapes around them :took, familier
form in the rosy daylight, that was
never half as welcome before. .
"Look riow, Will," said Charlie, as
the first sun rays lighted the dark
swaraP
Painfully Will erept out Mt' the
limb, his body aching :with the nip of
the keen autumn air and the cramped
position oh 'the limb.
Just at that moment the "some-
thing"' jumped up and leaped across
the ditch into the road.
"Charlie!"
Will hearly fell from the limb in
his surprise. '
"WM I" .
'Charlie hedenever felt so ashamed
in the whole eiourteen years of MS
life. And for what?
There, in the road, his dell eyes
staring into the astonished faces of
the boys., his long ears expectnntly
erect, stood—not -a dreadful "Indian
devel," no, not even a black bear, but
—PeddIet Shugerean's old gray don-
keyd
"I guess," began Charlie, laughing
in spite of his chagrin—"I guess we'd
better go home and do the .cheres.
What do you say, Will?"
"I think it would be a good ,plan,"
es he shd to the ground.
"This is the last expedition of this

"And me; tete" Seed Charlie, as he
started the unilial towatd home.'„oNot

"That's so. 'Wells no one knows it

And Will looked inquiriney at his

Mr. Rogers was greatly serpeised
