She was afraid in the dark T> was always after dark when she got through with the sup per dishes and she always had to throw the dishwater outdoors. The little girl s name was Gladys and she did not go to school much. There were some people who lived right across the road and one night the light was shining over on the place where they lived and the lit tie girl was afraid to go when she saw the light and so she hollered out loud and said to her papa, "Oh. papa, here are some thieves," and the father came running out to see what was the matter and the father said. "That must be some thieves." So he rnn back in the house and got a light and the shotgun. He wa nt out on the ground and went out on the road and never saw any thing and came back to the house nnd said to Gladys, "There was no body out th»re, it wras just the light shining in the window on the road " As my letter is getting lung I will close.
