It w;.s the threat about the ghost
that uided Humpy, lie didn't want
any paiater's xhl waikias iu on hiai
at r.i .ht. and he kit his school
bo;il..- la a grocery cud started on the
er;-..ud. When he had soiie a couple
of Mocks he n.et the WutUins boy. and
of course the latter asUed where he
was trf'ius aud what for. When the
nuiiue of the errand had beeu explain
ed to hlru. he lookeJ wke and said:
"Uuuip Shiiiiier. 1 have read the live?

regular hero, and you want to act like
one. Don't rush Into the house when
you get there and scare that poor wom
an half to death, but break the news
gradually. Lead up to the matter
gradually and easily. If some boys
had your chance they'd make that
wife think It was a gojd thing that
her husband broke bis leg. Go on and
be a hero."
Humpy went on. He hadn't even
looked at the address yet. He had
been told that it was Beech street, and
Betch street was a mile away. He
had got within four or five blocks of
the street wnen he felt for the address,
to find that he had lost It He halted
In his steps and was abo .t to turn
when he recalled tint :-e cue had

feeling that Providence u;lght guide
him. he reached the corner of Beech
street to meet an old woman hobbling
along, and be accosted her with:
"Ma'am, do you know a family on
this street named McGuIre?"
"Bless your heart. 1 do." was the
reply. "You have only to go to the
fourth house on the right. I bave
known Mrs. McGulre for these many
years, and I can say that she's a per
fect lady."
Humpy was In luck. He passed
along to the fourth house and rang the
bell, and as he stood waiting he re
membered that he must be a hero.
Mr. McGulre herself answered the
bell, and her greeting was not exactly
cordial. Her voice was as cold as Ice
as she asked what was wanted.
"I wanted to ask If your husband
went buckleberrylns today," replied
Humpy, who started In to break the
ad news gently.
What! Are you bere to give me Im

"Get a move on you!"

the street he stopped beside a carpen

ther were auy other McGulres on the
street.
"About ten others." .was the reply.
"Try the next door."
It was tried. Mrs. McGulre came to
