e-Chancellor Howell, at New
ark, made permanent an injunction
restraining Miss Rena Halsey, of Car
taret, from selling certain property
in Westfeld that forms part of the
estate of her mother, Mrs. Henrietta
A. Halsey, who died in August. The
injunction will continue pending the
outcome of litigation over the estate
between the brother and sister. The
estate, worth about $4,000, repre-
sents the life savings of Harlan Hal
sey, who created "Old Sleuth," and
who wrote many stories of the won
drous adventure of that great detec-
tive. Louis Halsey declares that his
mother died intestate, and he charges
his sister with seeking to appropriate
the entire property. He also seeks to
compel his sister to ~snder an ac-
counting of their mothers estate.

aA-a-kid's carried off Araminta
Amelia" Patty sobbed despairingly.
Who was it?" inquired Tom,
fiercely. "I'll attend to any young
ster who troubles my little sister"
You're my dearest brotheri" Pat
ty cried, hugging him ecstatically.
But it wasn't any youngster, it was
just kid-a baby goat
At that moment Rover, the dog,
came running to meet them with
something long and gray dragging
behind him.
"Why-why!" said Patty in amaze
ment, that's Araminta Amelia's
shawl"
It looks very much like grandma's
shawl" observed Tom, dryly, setting
Patty down and christening the
shawl, which had caught upon Row
er's collar
Il borrowed it," replied Patty.
Grandma said / might"
All right. said Tom.
Rover, old fellow" addressing the
puppy coaxingly, and showing him
the shawl, where did you get it?
Show us, that's good dog
But Rover only wagged his tail
and barked joyously, as though he
thought he had done something very
smart indeed.
BY this time the entire family, with
the exception of papa and the baby,
had arrived upon the scene.
Finally, Rover, evidently tired of
keeping his great secret to himself,
ran into the vegetable garden, behind
the house, and began digging down
into the soft earth. The others fol-
lowed.

peared above ground. Patty did not
wait any longer. She dropped down
upon her knees beside Rover and be-
gan digging as hard as she could.
Between them both it did not take
very long to unearth poor, abused
Araminta Amelia.
II guess your kid was only a puppy
after all, . said Tom laughing.
Yes, "'replied Patty in puzzled
way, the minister said kid would
do something bad to her while she
was taking nap if / didn't take care.
And I--I-ran off and forgot her
I'll never do it again. But guess he
meant Rover, though it was funny
for him to call dog a kid. +"
Every one looked puzzled What
could Patty mean?
Just what did the minister say,
dearie? Tell mother" said mamma,
putting her arms around Patty, who
was beginning to cry once more.
"He didn't say exactly those
words, sobbed Patty; but he meant
them. He said kid and nap, anyway.
Tom laughed. "Kidnap," he shout
ed, as soon as he could speak.
At that the others laughed, too,
and even Patty smiled through her
tears, though she did not know what
they were laughing about.
