Here Are Some Ideas: Bob-
bing For Apples, Reading
Your Fate In the Fire and
Other Traditional Games
Of all the festivals of the year
there is none more enjoyed by
young people than All Hallow
Eve, because it is an informal
frolic where best clothes and
company manners have been left
at home.
The invitations should be a
little out of the ordinary—tele-
phone messages or jolly little
notes, and the more wierd the
better. Cards adorned with
witches, black cats or owls, bear-
ing the words "come acrd learn
your fate on Hallowe'en at the
home of—" are appropriate. The
following verse may, also be
used: "At our house on Hal-
lowe'en your presence is request-
ed. There signs and omens will
be seen, and fortunes will be
tested."
Very often a big kitchen is the
scene of the festivityas here all
the apples and flcur and water•
tricks can be played without much ,
!damage to the surroundings: Tats
room may be decorated in the
usual Harvest Horne style with
pumpkins, strings of ,corn, dried
red peppers, autumn leaves or
any spoils of garden or wood-
land. Candles stuck in bottles
may have black cat shades. Black

FORTUNE TELLING
Among all the Hallowe'en
games the following will afford
much merriment: Fortune Telling
by Saucers — seven small saucers
are placed in a row, their con-
tents respectively a bit of scarlet'
cloth, a handful of moss, a scrap
of blue cloth, a branch of thorn,
a cord tied in a double knot,
some clean water and a twig with
forked ends. The person whose
fortune is to be told is blind-
folded and touches a saucer with
the left hand. If he pulls out a
handful of moss, a life of lux-
ury! Thorn, unhappy life; red
cloth, the army, militaryhusband;
blue cloth, the navy, a naval hus-
band; forked stick, marry a wid-
ow 'or widower; clean water, single
blessedness; double knot, mar-
riage near.
Another game not so time hon-
ored as many others, is played
with a tin dipper and a washtub
filled with water. The hostess
sprinkles a handful of soup paste
letters on the surface of the
water. The player closes his eyes
and scoops up some water, If he
or she gathers in any letters they
are the initials of the future
life mate.

CHAPTER XV
So it was to the bunk that had
been nailed in place that he re-
turned, He. tried to pull up the floor
boards. They were down solid.
He regarded the portion of wall
that had been behind the bunk; he
noted how a short section of log
had been slipped in. He began
working at that short section. When
it came free in his hands he found
a hollowed space in the wall; his
groping fingers came in contact
with a small box of some sort; it
was of iron or steel, a slight flat
thing aa; man cotta have shoved into
his pocket.
Barry opened it. There were pa-
pers or something of the sort, wrap-
ped in a newspaper. The news-
paper looked old; he noted that It
was the Laredo Blade, dated twelve
years ago.
A Dead Face
What it contained turned out to
be an amazing number of photo-
graphs., The first picture he look-
ed at was of a little girl, perhaps
six or eight years old. The next
was the same girl; the picture
might have been taken the same
day. Another of the sante little girl
—another and another. He flipped
over to the last of all. It was Lucy
Blue,.
The one next to it was Lucy
Blue. So was the next, And the
next—
That blanket -curtain over the
window kept stirring, breathing
like a live thing—a screen to shut
ghosts out—or to keep theta in here
along with him? He jerked his
head up to stare toward the win-
dow. The blanket at a lower corner
had been shoved aside. Barry saw
a face wanly lit up by the pale
lamplight. It was the dead face of
dead Sarboe.
Barry was standing with his hat
clutched iu one hand, the thin flat
steel box in the other, when he
heard the door open. That every-
day sound brought him back in a
flash to nn everyday world. As he
dropped fiat and box together, as
he jerked his gun from its holster,
the door was flung open. He saw
Tom Haveril confronting him, a
gun in his hand,
They shouted at eacth other at
the same split second, and as they
spoke they fired,
"If They're Alive—"
As Tom Haveril slumped down
and they fell forward across the
doorsill Barry sagged against the
wall and crashed to the floor, The
spinning world went back and
empty for both teen,

Judge Rime's mountain home. Lite),

recapture her. His face was still
white from some c,. yen weeks of
being shut up in a room, the first
few weeks of whish the doctor

lover, are laid in the fire side by

dred.
Tom Haveril liad been with her
but a few minutes when into the
yard came someone riding bot -
haste, He came running up the
stops, clanking his big -roweled
spurs, Whe she hurried to the door
Tom Haveril was just behind' her,
looking over her shoulder,
"Hello, Bon," he called sharp-
ly, "What's up?"dy
"It's about Sarboe!"
"Sarboe! He'd been dead nearly
two months!"
'Jake sent nie, He seen two men
back up in the hills, beyond Cool
Crick, Ile says one was Sarboe.
The other was the feller that shot
you—that you said you shot down.
Juke says•—•"
"Never mend!" said Tom Haveril
shortly. "I'll come out and talk
with you. Back off and wait," To
Lucy he said, looking puzzled: "I'd
better find out what this is all
about. Those two, if they're alive
and are ganging np—"
She felt strangely excited. Sar -
hoe alive! And that other man—
tarry Haveril!
She saw the Judge come home,
riding hard; site caught a glimrpse
of his face and so •did not call out
to him, he looked so worried, .so
ready to fiy into anger.
A. ridor carie up through the
pines. He went to the house, knock-
ed, was invited in by the Judge,
speaking brusquely. The two were
in the Judge's study for ten or
fifteen minutes.
The door opened and she saw the
stranger and the Judge together.
The Judge clapped .the other man
on the shoulder, He said jovially,
"Fine, Joe, I knew I could count
on you. So long, and ride happy."
Joe went down 'the steps and
t.long the path toward his white
horse down by the barn.
Cold -Blooded Murder
Then she heard the shot, And
she saw the ugly spit!; fire from
the Judge's hand. The stranger,
Joe, did a half spin and crumpled
in the path.
If ever there was oold blooded
murder, she knew that this was.
She all but fainted, cowering in
her hammock. She heard two more
shots fired; they didn't sound like
the first, were from another gun.
Still she hurried to her room and
threw herself down on her bed;
she wished that she were dead.
When after a while Tom Haveril
name aiding back she heard him,
but she did not get up. She heard
the Judge, as hearty as ever, greet
him at the door.
"Come in, Tom; come ahead in.
We're a: bit upset here. A drunk
fool, Joe Hosmer it was, came cut
making trouble. Shot at me twice;
nearly got me. I had to blaze back
at him."
Tom Haverll's answer escaped
her. She wasn't sire that he Laugh-
ed. The two men were walking to-
ward the Judge's study; she heard
the door slam.
"So you thought you better kill
him, huh, Judge?" said Tom Ha-
veril,
"Self-defense," said the Judge,
and reached for 'tobacco.
"Sure," said Tom Haveril, and
shrugged. "I',m telling you some-
thing, Judge," he said drawlingly,
"Sarboe's alive. We saw him shot
to death and then strung up. He's
alive."
"That means nothing to me," said
the Judge, and rested easier in his
chair, preparing to smoke.
"It means a Iot more than you
know! Something else has happen-
ed that is none of your business!
Now, get this: I am going to marry
Lucy—and I am going to marry her
to -night!"
"I've fooled with you long en-
ough, Judge," said Tom Haveril, as
