THE CLARION 29 n't find it. Then he began to scream and call for his friends, but could hear no answer. He then gave up and sat down and cried. Later, all of a sudden he looked up and saw a light coming towards him in the darkness. He clung to the seat on which he was sitting. He was hor- rified, because coming toward him was a bloody ghost!! Tom edged back and the ghost said, Don't be fright- ened little boy. I'm not going to hurt you,-now. Tom couldn't say a word. He just stared at the ghost. Come with me, said the ghost. I want to show you something. Tom didn't budge, so the ghost grabbed him by the arm and then pushed him through dark passages all lined with caskets and mummies. Tom shuddered and pulled his jacket up around his neck. Soon they came to a small dark room. The ghost opened the squeaking door and they both entered, followed by a couple more ghosts which had been following them for about two minutes. When they got inside Tom saw all sorts of caskets and tables and queer looking apparatus that he had never seen before in his wildest dreams. It was an awfully creepy looking place with hardly any light at all and the weird objects in the room made Tom more frightened than ever. He started to leave and just as he got to the door, one ghost yanked him back by the col- lar of his jacket. Not so fast, said he, where do you think you're go- ing? I want to go home, pleaded Tom. The ghost laughed. I don't think you'll be going home-ever! Tom was speechless. Not going home -ever! For heavens sake, what were they going to do with him? ? He just could- n't understand what it was all about. Just then the first ghost said, Now Ithink we're all ready to begin. What are you going to do to me? asked Tom. Well, said the ghost, We're going to experiment with you. What do you mean 'experiment'? asked Tom. We're going to inject some of this liquid into you and see if you become a ghost just like us. Ev- ery night we go out in the graveyard and when people Walk by, we grab them and drag them inside this tomb, into and then we inject some of this them and they become ghosts, or All whatever we Want them to be. those mummies and caskets that you this saw while you were coming to room are all of our experiments. Then Tom remembered hearing peo- ple talk about the strange disappear- ance of some of the townspeople dur- ing the last five years or so. . Well, said one ghost, let's go. He started towards Tom. Tom started to run for the door, but found it guard- ed by another ghost. He ran all around the room, bumping into tables and ev- erything, with the ghosts after him. He screamed, but it naturally did him no good. Then he fell on the floor be- cause he was so exhausted, and the ghost caught him and picked him up, putting him on the table near-by. Tom kicked and wiggled and squirmed, but it was of no use. They were tying him down with mummy-cloth. One ghost took a six-inch long, slender, liquid-filled needle and leaned over Tom. Tom tried to scream, but noth- ing would come out but whispers. He fainted and one of the ghosts grabbed his arm and started shaking him. He opened his eyes and there was Lucy, Anna, Jerry and Mr. Hanley.

28 THE CLARION My pa and ma and sis were in front, And they looked like they were doing a stunt. My aunt, my sister and I were in the back, So you can imagine the tires were slack. We all were so happy as we sailed long, But in a little while we were singing a different song. First a hind tire went off with a bang, My pa got so mad that he could hang. He just got that fixed when the motor stopped, My ma got so mad she began to hog We finally got it running but it sound ed blue, And we were altogether, a rather mel- ancholy crew. Then it started getting dark so pa turned on the light, But lo and behold they Weren't Very bright. I guess the battery wasn't very good Because you could hardly see pastthc hood. When we reached home we were all very glad But you can bet my pa was mad. He got up early the next day and wen' into town, To see if he could track that man down. He sold the car to some old guy, And I also imagine he told plenty of lies. But he didn't care, because he had got gyppedl And it Wouldn't hurt somebody else if they got nipped. Frances Estabrook '47 Pk PF H4 Pk NOT A GHOST OF A CHANCE One summer evening, Lucy, Anna, Tom and Jerry decided to go for a walk. They walked up the country road for about fifteen minutes until they came to a graveyard. It was an awfully spooky looking place with the moon shining on the gravestoneis, casting shadows all around. Suddenly they saw a tomb for burial vaultj and believe it or not, the door was partly open. They decided to go in and see what was inside. When they got there Jerry kept daring Tom to go inside, until Tom decided to satisfy his chum's daring remarks. After entering and before he could count ten, the door was shut behind him. Jerry, not realiz- ing the danger, had shut the door of the tomb, thinking he could frighten Tom into screaming and then he would open the door and let him out. But Jerry's joke wasn't so funny. They couldn't open the door again. There was poor Tom all alone and he would soon suffocate. Jerry, Lucy and Anna terrified, hurried off to the nearest house to get help. They were so fright- ened that they could hardly run. In the meantime Tom was strugg- ling to get out. It was so dark in the tomb that he couldn't see anything. He felt around for the door but could-

30 THE CLARION Where did you come from? asked Tom, looking around him. And where did the ghosts go to? There aren't any ghosts, said Lucy. Ghosts are just a superstition. But there is, too, said Tom. He was going to stick a needle in me that was about a yard longff You've been dreaming, said Anna. We just got here in time, said Mr. Hanley. That air in here would have got the best of him in a- bout five minutes. We thought he wouldn't have a 'ghost of a chance', said Jerry. And I thought I was go- ing to have some fun and play a good joke on Tom. I won't ever do any- thing like that again! So they all took Toni home and he soon complete- ly recovered from his ghostly shock. The children vowed they would never go for a walk near that graveyard a- gain.
