dren.

"Mine is so round I shall call it 'Tubby'," said Jack.

Then Jill named hers "Bubby."

One of the boys named his "Green Top," and another was "Big Eyes."

Just as the bell rang for school the last one was finished.

How Miss Phillips laughed when the children marched in, each one
carrying a funny Jack-o'-lantern!

She said she could not tell which one was the prettiest.

After she had been introduced to each one they were put into the hall
to wait for school to be over.

Hallowe'en night every lantern had a candle in it, and the children had
great fun trying to frighten their mothers and fathers and each other.

Of course Grandpa Hall jumped and ran when he saw a big bright face
coming at him from the barn.

Then Grandma Hall saw it in the woodshed, and she ran and hid behind
the kitchen door.

Tommy played with Humpty Dumpty for several days.

Saturday morning he was in the meadow playing with Humpty Dumpty when
Jack and Jill came to ask him to go with them to the woods.

Tommy put Humpty Dumpty up on the stone wall and ran off with the
twins.

Grandpa Hall's old white cow was in the meadow eating grass.

"But then, of course," thought Humpty, "she does not know that I am not
a pumpkin now."

Mrs. Cow kept putting her nose nearer and nearer to Humpty.

At last she got so near that she made him jump.

At least, I think he must have jumped, for he fell from the wall to the
ground.

When Mrs. Cow saw the pumpkin all broken in pieces she thought she
might as well eat it, and she did.

At first she liked the pumpkin very much, but then she thought it
didn't taste just right.

"I don't believe pumpkins with big round holes in them are good to
eat," said Mrs. Cow.

But when Tommy found what had happened to Humpty Dumpty, he said to
Grandpa Hall, "I wonder which Mrs. Cow liked best, the Jack-o'-lantern
or the candle!"

The children in Miss Smith's room had been just as busy as bees all
day.

Now they were tired, and they could not work any more.

Mary put her head down on her desk and nearly
