The boys took sheets and pillow -eases
from the drawer of old linens, and be-
hind their rocked door they fixed
themselves up as they had seen their
mether clreekJim. Very quietly they
slipped out of thdir window onto the
of of the pofch, They had been up
and down the roav trellis many times
by daylight, but getting dowx at
night wrapped in trailing robes with
two small holes to see through, was
an entirely different nrafter. Mell

trellis. Only the thought of the ice
ereani gave the boys mirage enough
to get down that pi-R*1y ladder by
night.
The door of Tod Bowan's bome
stood open. but there was no one
abeut. The twins disgused by their,
ghostly attire, boldly entered the
house to Which they had not been
in-
vited. A Jack-o'-laiiteein -stood on the;
hall table. .Above it was a black hand:

There were other surprises in store
Lor the boys. They were asked: to
reach into the "Witches' caldron" and
take out a fortune. But when they
put their hands into the jars they
toitehed the soft, equinelng ,bodies of
live frogs. They were told to walk
dravn a narrow runway, and in doing
so they sturnpled onto a zoil bedspring.
The attic was lighted only by a few
Jack-o'-lanterns and the boys could
not see what it was they had come
upon, nor how -bo get over dt. So they
hconadt° flounder along the' best they
iild.
"They're being extra nice to use"
said Mell sarcastically. "let's get

Queetly they crept around, the house.

"Gee, do you suppose that dog Is

asked. "In leaks like it," was the
answer.
Seeende lengthened into minutes
and the minutes became a half-hour
and still the dog kept guard. Two
weary boys watehed from above.

could, irutending to make the best of

dark.

attic window; he wondered why they
had not put the lights out there. As
he looked the blaze flared up, and he
remembered a Jack-o'-lantern had
etoted by that window.
"Look!" he cried, "look at the attic
window." A larger blaze showed;
perhaps the window ehacle haa caught.
Mell looked over the ehed roof, the

said, "we must epeead the, elarm."

k'et, and the roads are not always in
good condition. Therefore, consider-

a meetin,g „of the fele-niers was ealled,
and a co-operative market system was
discusfsed. They decided that, by cd

that many- members. They emid also
sell their produce every cley at no
expense, cash could be obtaired, and
regular consumers were foiled. This
method, pays so well and is so setis-
