So he wa put to -leep in the room, and before he went to bed h loo-elied the hook, -o that ii would come down very ea-v. and then he -al up in bed ami read till twelve o'clock. .Ju-.t w hen the clock -truck, the gho-t came in ami walked up and down a- u-ual. and linallv got out hi- rope and hung him-elt: lui a oon a-In- kicked aw:i the chair he -food on when he hung him-elf. down came the hook, ami the jrho-t fell all in a heap on the Hour, and -pniined hi ankle. and irt up and limped awav, licidfiillv a-hamed. and nobody ever -aw him again. 1'ather ha- been having the front ir.ir deii walk lixed with an a-kfelt p.tve ment. A-kfelt i- -oincthing like inu la -. onh four time- a- -tieky when it i- new. Aft-r a while it grow- real hard, oiilv our- ha-ifl grown very hard vet. I watched the men put it down, and father -aiil- "lie catcful and don't -teji on ii until it uei- hard or voii'I! .-tick fa-t in it and can't ever iret out airain. I'd like to -ee half a do.cii ined-dle-ome bov- -tuck in il and -ervetheni right."' A- -oun a- I heaid dear father mention what In-M like. I determined that In -hould have hi- wi-h. for there i-nothing that i-more delightful to a good bov than to plea-e hi- lather. That afternoon I mentioned to nvoor three bov- thai I knew were prcttv bad bov- that our melon-were rip-, and that father wa-iroing to pick tlcm in a day or two. The melon patch i-at the back of the hou-e. and alter dark I dre ed mv-eil in mil' of mother- iiighl-gown-. and hid in the wo-. d lied. Almut eleven o"'lock I heard a iioi-e. and looked out. and there were -ix bov- comiii"; in the back gate, and goin for the melon patch. I wailed till they were ju-t ready to bcirin, ami then I came out and -aid. in a hollow ami protuberant voice: -lSeware!" Thev dropped the melon-, and -t'irted to run. but thev couldn't get to the back gate without pa in;r clo-e to me, and I knew they wouldn't trv that. So thev -larted to inn round the hou-e to the front ratc. and 1 rtn after them. When thev reached the new front walk, thev -eemed to -top all of a -iidden, and two or three of them fell down. I didn't wait to hear what they had to-.iv. but went miietlv back and rit into the hou-e through the kitchen window, ami went up -tair- to my room. I could hear them whi-periug. and now and then one or two ot them would erv a little; but I thought il wouldn't be honorable to li-Ien to them, -o 1 went to -leep. In the nioruiuir there were live bov--tuck in the a-kfelt. and frightened "mo-t to death. I got up early, and called father, am! told him that there 'eemed to be -omelhing the matter with hi- new walk. When he came out ami -aw live bov-caught in the pavement, and an extra pair of -hoe- that belong ed to another bov who had w riggled out of them and gmic away and left them, he vva- the mo-t a-toni-hed man vou ever -aw. I told him how I had caught the bov - -tealing melon-, and had plav ed I wa a gho-t and frightened them away, and he .-aid that if I'd help the coachman prv the bov- out. he would overlook it. So he -at upon the piazza and overlooked the coachman and me while vve pried the bov- out. and they came oiitawfullv hard, and the a-kleil i full of piece-of tron-er and thing-. I don't believe it will ever be a haud--oine walk: but whenever father look-at it he will think what a good bov I have b -eu. which will give him more plea-ure than a hundred new a-kfelt walk-.
