But this time he was detained until the dark hours of midnight, when ali imps and goblins are out, and when he started home, he found that those pesky things bad extinguished the lights in the hall, and one of the kittle devils had opened the basement door on his way out on his nightly visit. So Mac went stumbling down the hall. Rolling about, like a big boot ball, Searching for the dark ball door. But to hia surprise bit the basement floor. Not hurting him, aa you’d suppose, Just skintng his knee and bumping bis nose, Soiling hia clothes and snch as that, Stamping bis toe and losing blabat. He searched for his old hat In vain, He searched till he was almost insane. So struck a match, that he might see, Where hia blamed old hat could be. So finding his old hat, at last, He put it on good and fast. And out Into tbe street he did get. And for home be went—you bet. Swearing one thing be knew well, This accident he wouldn't tell; But while sound asleep he did call, To hia room-mate, and told him all.
