So it couldn't have been Nicknack. "Anyhow, Trouble's blue-stone castle wasn't just knocked down," went on Hal, "it's gone every stone is gone. Somebody took 'em!" Jan and Ted noticed this for the first time. When Trouble had called out that his playhouse was gone they had thought he meant it was just knocked over. But, instead, it was gone completely. Not a blue stone was left.

Possum, and as he scampered through the snow he said: "To get yourself in trouble is a very easy thing. I notice that to others it will always worries bring. But getting out of trouble's always quite the other way The more you try to wriggle out, the longer you must stay."

The Honeycutts air doin' most o' the talkin' an' looks like the ole trouble's comin' up again. Old Jason is tearin' mad an' swears Gray'll have to git out o' them mountains " Jason heard them start moving and he rose and went quickly within that they might know he had overheard. After supper he was again on the porch brooding about Mavis and Gray when his mother came out.

"Where is Trouble's head?" Ted did not know, and said so, and then the little fellow cried: "Tum an' det me out! Tum an' det me out!" Then Janet saw what had happened. Trouble had thrust his head between the crotch, or the T-shaped part, of a tree, and had become so tightly wedged that he could not get out. "Oh, what shall we do?" cried Janet. "I'll show you," answered Teddy. "You can help me."

He continued, and now every man in the room was sitting up, alert, with gloomy eyes fixed upon Pierre: "Patterson is the first, but he ain't the last. He's just the start. Who's next?" He looked slowly around. "Is it you, Bud, or you, Phil, or you, Jim, or maybe me?" And Pierre said: "What makes you think you know that trouble's coming, Morgan?"

At the breakfast-table her father had said, cheerily, to Dorn: "Better take off your coat an' come out to the fields. We've got some job to harvest that wheat with only half-force.... But, by George! my trouble's over." Dorn looked suddenly blank, as if Anderson's cheery words had recalled him to the realities of life. He made an incoherent excuse and left the table. "Ah-huh!"

"I'm sorry to have spoiled Trouble's playhouse. I wanted those pieces of rock, for I thought perhaps they were all I would ever be able to get of the fallen star." "Was the blue rock really once a star?" asked Hal. "Well, yes, a part of one, or at least part of a meteor, or shooting star, as they are called. Now I'll tell you all that happened, and I'm sorry if I have frightened you.

"Never mind the election, that was only a jest," replied the lawyer good-humouredly; "and the trouble's not worth talkin' about. If Miss Conklin," and here he turned respectfully towards her, "would take a seat in my buggy and show me the chief settlers' houses, I reckon I could fix up the case in three or four days." The eyes of all were directed upon Loo.

"He's caught on some of the springs that stick down," he said. "I'll poke him out." He caught hold of Trouble's clothes and pulled the little fellow loose. But Trouble cried perhaps because he was sleepy and then his mother came and got him, leaving Teddy and Janet to play by themselves, which they did until they, too, began to feel sleepy.

"What's the matter with YOU?" she asked. "Nothing. I haven't got any appetite." "What's the matter?" she persisted. "Trouble's the matter; bad luck and lots of it's the matter," said Lapham. "I haven't ever hid anything from you, Persis, well you asked me, and it's too late to begin now. I'm in a fix.
