the y MThi at me now! It's done

"You'll be a funny object!" chuckled
Isabel, "I'm going to be right there to

Tom needed no honest sister to tel!

aJl "round hla etvely Imagination had
Invented aomethlng hard and queer.
In fact, be had been so sure he'd win
h hadn't cared what forfeit ha In
vented for himself.
With th quarter J'ngllng In his
pocket he went to a store and bought
acme bright green cheesecloth. This
waa for himself and Jimmy Waters'
pig. Jimmy waa ona of the "fellows"
an! tha pig was part of Tom's forfeit.
, Next he had to go to Jimmy's home
with a piece of green cheesecloth tied
around his Deck. Jimmy and the oth

"Ha! Ha!" they all langhed. but

Ho had bet that If their team lost he
would lead a nlr to Great Barrimrton
n St Patrick's1 Day. Bnt little did he
guess what was before him!
,, It was a cold, blustery day and the
road was bad. When It wasn't solng

Dick usually paid, little attention to
