86 21cur115 uf13uu11nkei 1917 the other noise-the rap, rap, rap. When we reached the second story the rap, rap, rap was more audible, but seemed to still come from overhead. Ex- ploring, we found there was a ladder leading up to the attic. Not being able to go up this six abreast we almost had to give up our plan, but we finally decided to draw straws to determine the order in which we should mount the ladder. The unlucky boy who drew the shortest straw and had to go up first, almost rebellecl, but we finally prevailed upon him to lead the way. Every step up the ladder seemed to make the rap, rap, rap more audible. However, we slowly mounted and at last all of us were in the attic. Rapg rap, rap sounded quite plainly. The attic was one large room with a slanting roof, or rather ceiling, and a large chimney at one end. We decided that the rap, rap, rap came from behind the chimney. So we went cautiously toward this end of the room. All the while this steady rap, rap, rap worked on our nerves and seemed to push us, with an invisible hand, away from the chimney. We came to it, however, and heard rap, rap, rap coming from behind it. We decided then that the noise came from a black hole back ofthe chimney. By this time we were ready to find out the cause of this strange and weird rap, rap, rap or die in the attempt, and I am not sure but that most of us feared it would be the latter. Not a soul had any matches and the hole was dark as night, not silent, however, for from it sounded hollowly rap, rap, rap. We tried to make the boy who had led the way up the ladder put his hand in the hole, and try to find out what caused this rap, rap, rap, which every minute seemed to grow stronger and more gruesome. l-le flatly refused and said we would have to draw again. Of course, everybody thought that one of the others would be the unlucky one, so we agreed to this. Thus a second time, spurred on by the rap, rap, rap, we drew straws. Then again we almost left without finding out the cause of this mysterious rap, rap, rap. I know, for llwas the one this time who drew the shortest straw. However, after a great deal of persuasion, and incidentally rap, rap, rapping, I finally consented to put my hand in the awful black hole and try to catch the cause of the fearful rap, rap, rap. Feeling much like I judge one feels who is going to be executed, I cautiously extended my hand until my whole arm was in the hole. The rap, rap, rap sounded in my ears like a funeral dirge, only louder and more awful than any l had ever heard. For a while my groping fingers encountered nothing but empty air. Then suddenly I felt something. The rap, rap, rap continued. I snatched out my hand and jerked out something with it. In my hand was-Ha piece of wrapping paperll' PHILIP T. POWELL, 'l7.
