Truly, this is no place for man.

Weak and wan, Leo turns up in

Ed Rafferty,, lived.
1--WE been through an awful
time" he painted. 1.-TWO men
took me from school. They hur-
ried me through town in a closed
buggy. When I tried to boiler
one of them hit me in the STUN
mick, and knowed no more.
when i came to, was In the
mountains in West Virginia. MY
lkidnapers were stealing horses
One of the men was tall and very
thin. The other was husky and
had big mustach like a pirate
They beat me and abused me, and
made me help them steal a whole
lot of horses. Finally run away.
They run after me, but 1 run fast
er'n they did, and I got away.
After a long walk / came to a
town, and the people told me II
was Ironton, and not West Vir-
ginia at all. / 'membered that
grandpa lived ere, and, gee,
was glad.
CHAPTER w.
OF course, 12-year-o1d kid
can't think of everything, and
when grandpa and all those detec-
tives and policemen and papa and
mamma and everybody kept ask
ing questions, a fellow can't be ex-
|pected to get everything told
right.
On second thoughts, there
weren't any two men kidnapers,
nor any West Virginia, nor horse
stealing. nor nothing like that.
The note?--well, with this vertical
system of writing they teach at
school now, it's hard for kid to
make his writing look like q
mans. Leo did the best he could.
The chapter ends in the Null
bern woodshed, with only Papa
Mulhern, mamma and Leo as spec
tators. Gone are the detectives,
the headlines, the pictures, the
sympathy. the excitement. Only
pain is left-and promises.
And the neighbors hear It from
the kitchens--and smile.
