If y ou want to Join the Big Toe Tribe you’ve got to prove your mettle." “I’m not afraid." said Eddie. ’ Oh, no!" chorused the Braves scornfully. Eddie smiled mysteriously. “I'll be there tomorrow night,” he said. Later he might have been sren talking to his neighbors twin sisters named May and June "The Braves have asked me to join.” he explained, “bnl to show how much nerve I’ve got to have to gc to the cemetery tomorrow night and sit on a 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 ou me, and they may be pretty mean and rough about It too. They pushed Charlie into a big hole and prett y near buried him alive. Still I guess If I'm worth anything 1 ought to be able to sec it through.” " 'Smarties' would be a better name for themn than •Braves,’” said May. "Indie, come hero. We re going for a walk."

ite perch on the ruse trellis and sauntered along beside his mis trees. He had been trained from kitten hood to follow them like a do* and to perform many tricks. "Girls are wise not to go in for rough stuff," thought Ed. "A mouse would make 'em shout.” However bo would have been glad enough to break his promise the next night as he prepared to go to the cemetery. He had raid he wasn't afraid of spooks, but the behavior of his friends. Still he was not the kind to give in without a straggle. He had a

plan.

He had often been In the cemetery, which was an old desen*d one, and he had noticed a certain tombstone which had fallen over. Whoever bad put It up had been economical for It was so small and light that Eddie found he could drag It easily to a sheltered spot unuer a tree. His bargain wa- to sit on a tombstone—it wasn't specified where. He planned to take the tombstone beyond the sacred confines. Into the road where things were a Utile pleasanter, and there ic the dark shadow of a tree or busu, spend an hi>ur In peace and quiet. To make things easier for himself he put on a black costume his mother had made for him once when be was a friar In a play at school. Then he blacked bis face and hands, and taking his flashlight with him he hastened to the cemetery. The cemetery wa* a lonely spot Just outside the village on a knoll amid 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 sense of direction was so good he soon fund the stone and began t* drag it L. the brow of the knoU which was only a few feet away. "What's that?" The wind *as hissing and whispering In Jie tree, but suddenly the whispering and hissing seemed to grow louder and Ed. heard words Scared to come. 1 told you so," said a voice. He may show up yet,” said another

voice.

"The Bi-aves!" thought Eddie 'They're here, 'ving In wait f' r .me." He dared not drag the stone any further so he sat down on It and waited, and then the first thing he ktu w a flashlight was turned full upon

"Aha!" thought-Eddie, ''they're going to play the saate game on tne they played on Charlie." . 1 He could not escape very well while they played the flashlight on him so ho stood bis ground grimly. The other Braves came up with a stout rope which they tied around their victim beginning at his ankle* until he was all trussed up from head to foot. "Nov . here ye shall stay till morn." said B.g Foot, trying to disguise hiq voice. "Say now!" remonstrated Ed. "Wb-t did 1 et or do Ic your 1 "SUen-e!" growled all the braves.

"Jut for that well leave you here with.— t!" said Big Pool "AH 1ght.'' r--piled Eddie, "only put me on t tombstone so I can get credit for being nervy.” "Put -ourself on It," retorted the Brave*. “Oh. well. !t don t matter,” replied Eddie. “T don't know as I care about belongli g to the Big Toe Tribe anyway."

What are you doing here and where are your "tip in the tree," replied one of the glrL, we came to rescue yon from those smarties.” Down slid the girls and quickly unbound Eddie. “Well!” he exclaimed. "Ill never say girt* are cowards again! But for a minute when your cat began hiss lug and growling I did think that a wild cat ml~ht be roosting in tree." • He did not try to expiess his thanks Just then but he made up his mind that be would repay the kindness of his neignbors If he had to waH ever so long for the chance. Down from the tree slid the t., black cat. Invisible in the darkness except for Its big green eyes. Then they walked comfortably out o? the cemetery. When they reached the road they met the Braves standing in a ring arguing about something. “Hello!" 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. Ttu-'t. thud, thud! The whole gang was after them— right at their heels. They never ran so fast In their lives. Just as they reached "home Big Foot overtook them. "W-wait!" he panted. Eddie stopped and turned around.

plete.

The Lunacy of Lachrymosity By STRICKLAND GILLIAN There are things In this wor d 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 raying a good deal, and the principal occupation of human beings Is time-wasing Grieving gets you a great deal less than nothing . 1 Ins for you nothing. minus; whicbuneans nothing plus some more' nothing. You recover nothing you grieve for, and you get nothing else so long aa your mind is shifted into the grief gear. Not a

thing.

Grieving over the past Is almost as oad as anything can be; grieving over the future is the only thing worse. We all at heart have a profound contempt for the hob-nalled-Uver Jeremiahs who mourn over things In advance. Nobody ever heeded one of these wamlnIncs, ai d the calamity-bowling boob who did the warning wept all the harder over the fact that they wouldn't heed him. Who would heed anything told In that tone of voice anyway? I have a profound sympathy for the “wicked and stiff-necked" generations whr 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 blattlng around about everything going to the demnltion bowwows. It is human nature to try to make 'hings worse when told they are as bad a* they can get. If any one thinks ill of us. we instinctively aid to that 111 will every time we see them. Now If everyone of those old dyspeptic mopes with the sob story had taken a good, long think (though why expect It? People with no sense of humon can't think!)' be would have changed his tactics. He would have gone somewhere and sat down on a bench in plain sight of his 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 stopped and watched him. The passer-by would have drawn near r and would have be on 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 eyes and refused to tell them, giving the reason hat th-y wouldn't understand, but : .at the Joke was on them. The crowd would have grown, the Interest would have increased, and by and by ho could have sprung his stuff on them, cheerfully indicating that he didn't care, for his part, a tinker's dam how soon the whole thing went to pot. That crowd would have reformed, almost to a man. Whereas If ti.e old coot had beea sitting there with a ripe grouch they would have avoided him like the pestilence.
