Dicks Ghostly Visitor By Francis Soasley

It was about 9 o'clock in the evening when Dick went to bed. The rnoon light shown up on the Amoricanf.ag drooping at half mast, across the ntreet in honor of Roosevelt. Everything seemed so quiet and dead. The wind was blowing softly through the tree t-ps. The fa would leap to life every or.ro in a while, and spread its beautiful Ftars and stripes into tho wind, and then like a whipped child it would embrace tho long slender flag staff till tho next puff of wind would come along. Far away in tho distatneo an owl cried mournfully as if mourning for the dead gentleman. Dck could look out upon the recne through a long window that w.as beside his bed. He finaly dozed e ff Into V.umbarLlnd". It was about the middle of the nUht when tho hall clock strueh" twelve with a long groaning sound. Dlick awoke with a start. Hut h only ht'ard the loud tlvk'.ir.jr of the clock which had strat!sd him out of his pleasant slop. Even this annoyed him. "Why should that old clock tik so loud and wake me?" was the question that ran through his mind. Then came the answer. "May be it wasn't the hall clock that woke, me up."' Tdck looked out of tho wir.dow.He shivered when a cold blast struck him full in the face and then that weird cry of the owl made the ccM shivers run up and down h's spine. He had heard that cry many a ni.cht: but somehow J: sounded different this time. He tried to go to the sleep but it was impo.-LM". He

could almost swear that there was somebody in the room. He looked under th? bed and far back" in the corner two bright little lights were watehinc him. He was so scared that he couldn't move. Whit was it? Th two little lights moved nearer; but Dick eculd not move. Nearer and nearer they came until they almost touched hin face. And then the oft purr a wokDPick from his horrified stillnes. It W 1 S ! 1 v anything but tho old torn cat. It purred softly and rubed Its head against his hand. Dick picked the cat up and ratted him on tr o head

then a loud clanking of chains startled Dick and he dropped .the cat, which crept away under the bed as if for seeing something. The wind moaned dismally and the moon disappeared behind an onlonus cloud. Dick looked out the window and saw a shadow disappear around the house. The gratcing sound of metal rubbing against metal made his teeth chatter. "What could that sound be?" he asked himself. "Could it be a ghost draging chains across the floor?" The louder the wind blew tho more noise the chains would make. Dick put his head under the bed pillows and tried to hide within its folds. The hall clock struck one sharply and loudly and Dilck put his hands over his ears to keep out the dreadful noises. His muscles grew stiff as tho teror of the grewsome situation apalled him. The wind died down the moon apeared from its Riding place and slowly travelled across the sky. In the morning Dick crawled out of bed badly frightened from the effects of his nights experiences. But the pleasant sunshine dlspellei all thought of ghostly night prowlers. When he started to school he heard and ominous sound across the srtret and half frigi.tened he looked up at tho flag staff ai.d there was the expalnantion of his night's experience. The chain that held the f.ag in Place blown by tht wind moved to and from rubbing i. pole, made ct strel. makllr.g the grating sound which had terrified Dick. DDick truilced m his way to school happy in tho th"ght of having found the mvsterv.
