"We've all done It, Ed .” explained Phil, whom the boys called Big Foot. "That’s one of our rules. If you want to Join the Big Toe Tribe you’ve got to prove your mettle." •Tm not afraid," said Eddie. “Oh, no!" chorused the Braves scornfully. Eddie smiled mysteriously. Til be there tomorrow night," he said. Later he might have been seen talking to his neighbors twin sisters named May and June. "The Braves have asked me to Join," he explained, “but to show how much nerve I’ve got to hsve to go to the cemetery tomorrow night and sit on tombstone for an hour . I’m not afraid of spooks, of course, but I know as well as anything that the fellers mean to spring a Joke on me. and they may be pretty mean and rough about it too. They pushed Charlie into a big bole and pretty near bur 1 -tl him alive. SUU 1 guess if I’m worth anything I ought to be able to see it through.” “ ‘Smrrtlee’ would be a better name or ihemn than ‘Brav - *,’ ” said May. “Indie, come here. We're going for a w. lk." Indie, their large black cat Jumped lightly down from his favor-

He had been trained from kittenhood to follow them like a dog and to perform many tricks. “Girts are wise not to go in for rough stuff." thought Ed. "A mouse would make ’em shout." However he would have been glad enough to break his promise the next night as he prepared to go to the cemetery. He bad said he wasn't afraid spooks, but the behavior of his friends. Still he was not the kind to give in without a struggle. He had a plan. He had often been in the cemetery, which was *n old deserted one, and ho had noticed a certain tombstone whith had fallen over. Whoever had put it up had been economical for it was a small and light that Eddie found ) e could drag It easily to a sheltered sp>t ir a tree. His bargain was to it on a tombstone—It wasn’t spedt ed where. He planned to take the tombstone beyond the sacred confines, nto the road where things were a little santer, and there In the dsrk shadow of a jee or bush, spend : n hour In peace and quiet. To make thlugs easier fbr hints- If he put on a black costume his moll er had made for him once when he a friar In a play at school. Then te blacked his face and hands, and taking his flashlight with him be hasten' to the cemetery. The cemetery was a lonely spoI Jv t outside the village on a knoi. -mid dark fir trees. Ed. crept softly along the hedge until he reached a break which he knew about and once inside he stumbled slowly in the direction of the fallen tombstone. His reuse of direction was so good be soon fund the stone and began !o drag it to the brow of the knoll which was only a few feet away. "What’s that?" The wind was hissing and whispering in the tree, but suddenly the whispering and hissing seemed to grow louder and Ed. heard words. 'Scared to come. I told you so," said a voice. “He may show up yet," said another voice. "The Braves!” thought Eddie. "They're here, lying it- wait for me." He dared not drag the stone any further so he sat down ou it and wailed, and then the first thing he knew a fltsblighl was turned full upon

are you. di-ad man’ - Aha!" thought Eddie. "Jiey'ro going to play the same game on me they played on Charlie." He could not escape very well while they played the flashlight on i im so he stood hi.- ground grimly. The other Braves came up with a stout rope which they tied around their victim beginning at his ankles until he was all trussed up from head to foot. •Now, here ye shall stay till morn." said Big Foot, trying to disguise his voice. "Say'now!" remonst-aied Ed. "What did I ever do to you?*’ "Silence!" growled all the braves. From the tree above them came a queer growl then a f-aah! Like a cat spitting. “What's that?" they whispered. "Ha, ha!” laughed Eddie, ‘and you call yourselves brave!" "Just for that well leave you here with—It!" said Big Foot. "AH right.” replied Eddie, ’’only put me on a tombstone so I can get credit for being nervy.” "Put yourself on It.” retorted the Braves. "Oh, well. It don’t matter,” replied Eddie. "I don't know as 1 care about belonging to the Big Toe Tribe anyway." But this last was lost to the braves, for they had gone hastily away. "Ed!” called a voice from the tree. "Hello, May and June!” replied Ed. 'As _C9T's- I heard your cat up there I knew you must be around. What are you doing here and where are

you’

‘Up in the tree,” replied one of the girls, ‘we came to rescue you from those smarties. Down slid the girls and quickly unbound Eddie. ‘•Well!" he exclaimed. “PH never say girls are cowards again! But for a minute when your cat began hissing and growling I did think that a wild cat might be roosting He did not try to express bis thanks just then but he made up his mind that he would repay the kindness o’ his neighbors if he had te wail ever long for the chance. Down from the tree slid the big black cat. Invisible in the darkness except for its big green eyes. Then they walked comfortably out of the cemetery. When they reached the roi-d they met the Braves standing in a ring arguing about something. “HeUo!" shouted all three. "Braves! Ha. ha! And then because there were more Braves than they cared to tussel with, they ran off as fast as they could scamper for home. Thud, thud, thud' The whole gang was after them— right at their heels. They never ran so fast in their lives. Just as they reached "Lome Big Foot overtook them. "W-wait!” he panted. Eddie stopped and turned around. "We’ve decided to let you in.” said

plete.

By STRICKLAND GILLIAN There are things ir this world to regret, but not to be grieved over. Grieving over things is next to the worst loss of time possible to human beings, which is saying a good deal, and the principal occupation of human

beings is time-wastng.

Grieving gets you a great deal less than nothing . It obtains for you nothing. minus: which means nothing pins some more nothing. You recover nothing you grieve for. and you get nothing else so long as your mind is shined into the grief-gem. Not a

thing.

Grieving over the past is almost as bad as anything can be; grieving over the future is the only thing worse. We all at heart have a profourd contempt for the hob-nailed-liver Jeremiahs who mourn over things in advance. Nobody ever heeded one of these warninings. and the calamity-howling boob who did the warning wept all the harder over the fact that they wouldn’t heed him. Who would hoed anything told In that tone of voice anyway? I have a profound sympathy for the “wicked and stiff-necked" generations who continued the the error of their ways “in spite of’ the warnings of the major and minor prophets. "In spite of "your grandmother’s goose! It was because of! If there’s anything in the world that will make a normal human wonder if there is anything he can do that would make things worse, it is to hear one of these howling dervishes blatting around about everything going to the demnition bowwows. It is human nature to try to make things worse when told they are as bad as they can get. If any one thinks ill of us, we instinctively add to that Hi will evert- time we see them. Now if everyone of those old dyspeptic mope.- with the sob story had taken a good, long think (though why expect it? People with no sense of humon can’t think!)’ he would have changed his tactics. He would have gone somewhere and sat down on a bench in plain sight of hi.' fellow beings on whom he wanted to foist propaganda, and whittled idly and whittled idly and snickered audibly without looking at anybody. By and by some one would have slopped and watched him. The passer-by would have drawn nearer and would have been joined by others. Pretty soon the nerviest one of the big mob of rubbernecks would have asked. "Bo. what's the joke? Why are you sitting there just a-bustin' of yourself laughing What's the big idea?*' The old man would have shaken his head, wiped the tears, of mirth from his eye- t.nd refused to tell them, giving th reason that they wouldn't understand, but ’hat the Joke was on them The crowd would have grown, the Interest would have increased, and by and by he could have sprung his stuff on them, cheerfully indicating that be didn't care, for his part, a tinker’s dam bow soon the whole tiling ent to pot. That crowd would have reformed, almo.-t to a man. Whereas if the old coot had been sitting there with a ripe rrouch they would have avoided him like the pestilence. The new times must bring a new type of prophet—one who can kid the crowd into intelligent behavior instead f Lying to scare it.

Shortage of labor made the work slow and madtuiu was afraid she’d die before the tomb was ready. She sent for her contractor recently to speed things up and he i id her the tomb would be ready in three days. Thiee days later she was ready for the tomb.
