Two in Same Way.

IL may have been that the fact that
this weeks second Black Arrow was
hidden in fire plug. made the search
ers little careless. No unusual hidine
place was left UNEMPLOYED. Private
lawns were raked oven steps were
peered under. and, az the open car
proves, the fire plugs. too, were exam
ined, but not thoroughly.
They surely wouldn't hide two in
the same kind Of places in the same
week"
This was the argument that cost SIS.
One glance at the plug was enough for
every searcher except the lucky one.
Perhaps some saw the little green
string, but they didn't consider the pos
sl6llliy OF Black Arrow being at the
other end. Mr. Tasker inVestigated
thoroughly. and as result there is ioy
