I gave him no encouragement to stay and he bit his lips, said something under his breath and gave a leap for the hall. "Well, his feet struck where that burned spot is. Somebody had dropped a parlor match there and of course bis stepping on it lighted It it cracked loudly and Jack gave a little start of surprise and the most ludicrous look of fright came over his face.': It was so funny that laughed.
