So they started for the house, but when they reached the farm yard old Mombi led the pumpkin man to the cow stable and shut him up in an empty stall, fastening the door securely on the outside. "I've got to attend to you, first," she said, nodding her head at Tip. Hearing this, the boy became uneasy; for he knew Mombi had a bad and revengeful heart, and would not hesitate to do any evil thing.

 face continued to wear its jolly smile, that Tip again burst into a peal of laughter. [Illustration: image032] Even Mombi was not without a curious interest in the man her magic had brought to life; for, after staring at him intently, she presently asked: “What do you know?” “Well, that is hard to tell,” replied Jack. “For although I feel that I know a tremendous lot, I am not yet aware how much there is in the world to find out about. It will take me a little time to discover whether I am very wise or very foolish.” “To be sure,” said Mombi, thoughtfully. “But what are you going to do with him, now he is alive?” asked Tip, wondering. “I must think it over,” answered Mombi. “But we must get home at once, for it is growing dark. Help the Pumpkinhead to walk.” “Never mind me,” said Jack; “I can walk as well as you can. Haven’t I got legs and feet, and aren’t they jointed?” “Are they?” asked the woman, turning to Tip. “Of course they are; I made ’em myself,” returned the boy, with pride.
