Illustrations by G.. III. TWELVETREES
Each Installment a COMPLETE STORY

Unless he's walked by Muff1es' meow
For Muffles knows just when and how
DUTCHY went off to post some mail,
And Captain Dinkey with water pail
Climbed up the path to mountain spring,
While the little Jap with ball of string
Wound the crusty farmer round and round
And tied him tight to tree and ground;
To make him no our tent attack
Till other boys to help come back
This his reply when Domino
Asked Jappy why he was doing so.
Muffles meanwhile was curled up snug
And sound asleep on favorite rug.
TWO girls came stealing up the walk
And as close they came their whispered talk
Was heard by Muffles and two meows or three
Brought Domino from the tent to see
Said Domino; "And why come back
Miss Helen Brown and Miss Rachel Black?
You both look troubled; now tell me, please,
How can set your minds at ease?"
The girls looked scared for they had spied
The standing form of the farmer tied,
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-02-13

Then when he wakes he sure will be
More kind at heart to my cat and me-
Thus spoke the Prince to Dinlzey Dadd
And his words made all the boys feel glad
For they were scared that through mistake
At any minute the man would wake
And be so cross he d want to fight
And move and smash things left and right
Day be some fear" the Captain said,
Dat he may fall an bust is head;'
Bat Domino said, Don't you fear;
He'll stand that way for hcI year
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-02-13

And as Helen Brown came close to see:
why there is Dad asleep" said she,
"Or is he dead, or what is wrong
That he has been down here so long7"
'Now please don't worry said Domino,
"For in half a minute Ill let him CO."
The string was loosened and all untwined
And Muffles looked clear through his mind
And with startling nod the farmer woke
And laughed out hearty at the joke.
He spoke to the girls and said, 81 guess
I'm entirely cured of crankiness
For while I slept just standing there
dreamed of sunshine everywhere,
Of happy homes and children free
All romping laughing merrily,
Of grown-up men just having play
And making merry all the day.
Your camp has won; 7 II take off my hat
To Prince Domino and his famous cat;
For I assure you, Sir that we
Are glad we came your camp to see."
THE Prince replied, "You have learned today
That boys and girls are made for play;
And that telling things that folks don't know
Is simply rart of this Gypsy show =
The farmer laughed and the girls and he
Started for home so merrily
1t pleased the Prince and made Jappy shout
To see how well their play worked out
DINKEY returned on double Jump,
His heart in his mouth with every thump,
His white eyes staring from his head
As IN prince Donino he said
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-02-13


Dis pickaninny seed a b-bear;
Dat s-sure did, away up there
BY dat m-mountain spring JUS on stone
And Dinkey Dadd d-dare all alone.
I jus so c-close feel his bref'
Then d-drop my pail, you bet, and lef'."
The Prince replied but just in fun:
If bear gets you he II have to run;
You saw a bear all right said he,
'fAnd likely scared him up tree,
For if you looked at him that way
He's now hundred miles away
But calm yourself, that bear I'll find
When other things are off my mind
WHEN trouble comes it comes in fours
AS when it rains good luck, it pours.
For just as Dinkey got his breath
A lad appeared as white as death
A country boy with the Princes mail
And on his lips this awful tale:
Excuse me- Sir to the Prince he said,
AS he took his cap from tousled head,
II found these letters in tree
Tied by string where all could see,
Down by the road and posted there,
Was this here note which says BEWARE!
And then goes on in writing bold
To say that hdnapers would hold
The little Dutch boy safe and tight
Securely tied both day and night
Till he was ransomed by loan
Of one hundred dollars placed by stone
Which the note described as flat and wide
And by the spring on the mountain side.

In one Of the tulip beds back Of the
house an early blackbird was pecking
viciously at something that glittered
in the light. ! picked my way gingerly
over through the dew and stopped
down: almost buried In the soft
ground was a revolver! ! scraped the
earth of 1t with the tip of my shoe.
and. picking 1t up. slipped 1t into my
pocket. Not until had got into my
bedroom and double-locked the door
did ! venture to take 1t out and ex.
anime 1t. One look was all l needed.
1t was Halsey's revolver. l had un.
packed 1t the day before and put 1t on
no mistake. His name was on a small
silver plate on the handle.
l seemed to see a network closing
around my boy. innocent as knew he
was. The revolver-Iam afraid ofthem.
but anxiety gave me courage to look
through the barrel-the revolver had
still two bullets In 1t. l could only
breathe a prayer Of thankfulness that
had found the revolver before any
sharp-eyed detective had come around.
decided to keep what clues l had.
the cuff-link. the golf stick and the re-
volver. in a secure place until could
see some reason for displaying them.
The cuh-link had been dropped into
a little filigree box on my toilet table.
l opened the box and felt around for

please tell me all you know. Believe
me. things always come out. In the
first place. Mr.. Armstrong was shot
from above. The bullet was fred at
close range, entered below the shoul-
der and came out. after passing
through the heart. well down the
back. In other words. | believe the
murderer stood on the stairs and fired
down. In the second place, found
on the edge of the billiard table a
ShoiAco SiBaI WHICH HHQ burned 1tS0II
partly out, and a cigarette which had
consumed itself to the cork tip. Neith-
er one had been more than lighted,
then put down and forgotten. Have
you any idea what 1t was that made
your nephew and Mr.. Bailey leave
their cigars and their game, take out
the automobile without calling the
chauffeur, and all that at--let me see
certainly before three o'clock in the
morning."
Il don't know" said, but depend
on It, Mr.. Jameson. Halsey will be
