'Shall we take Bouncer? suggested
the pleasantly modulated voice Of Blye.
"Of course Bouncer shall go!' June

his tail SO vigorously that his hind feet

where Jens Jansen sat stolidly putting
his pipe, one immense hand constantly
on the arm or the knee of Ned Warner.
"Voilar' cried Henri in high glee as
the sharp night wind cut past his face.
We'll" grunted Jens in huge content.
June put herself into the hands Of
the agitated Marie very thoughtfully
after the visitors had gone.
What is the matter, Marie" June's
tone was quite sOlicitous. She became
suddenly aware that Marie had been
in such a state of nervous excitement
as she had never exhibited before.
Nothing, Miss JUNE; nothing at all.
I'm afraid of burglars!'
why, Marie, come here" Marie
came slowly over, nervously kneading
some knotted pink thing in her hands.

Meekly Marie took what June gave

where Ned sat quietly in the corner.
"Wellr he said.

Ned Warner stirred impatiently. He
gave another tug at the ropes which
bound his wrist, but it was only an in
voluntary test. He must rest before
he made another determined attempt
to free himsf
He gave sudden wrench at his
bonds, struggling so fiercely to loosen
them that he rose and reseled toward
the door.
Huge Jens Jansen stopped Ned from
falling.
The chauffeur laughed, and, spring
ing from his seat in the touring car,
he jumped up, cracked his heels to-
gether and snapped the fingers of both
hands. Il have the grand plan to dis

Jens Jansen stopped and circled one
arm around Ned Warmers middle and
deposited his violent load in the ton

Marie in the pantry hall stood wiring

apron. Then she dashed back into the
servants hall and folded her arms
tightly upon the hollow at. her waist.
She dared not leave Mr.. Ned where he
was. She dared not do anything, and
vet she must. She burst out OF the
rear door, was across the porch in two
strides, down the steps in one jump
and went swishing for the garage. As
she came the touring car shot from the
opposite door and went whiZZing up

County Agent l.. f. Stewart is in
receipt of a letter from the extension
department o. the A. & NJ. College at
Saltwater, advising him that the
movable school will be in Murray

The movable school consists of a
few specialists along agricultural
lines who will come into the county
and spend week with us. 1t is their
plan to spend two days in each Of
three rural communities, going to the
places where they can get the best
cooperation and where the folks
really want them. 1t is free and
costs the people of the county moth
ing except a place to hold the meet
ings, and some local conveyance while

The work of the movable school is
largely practical in its nature Among
the things that are done by the school
is the teaching of the use of the
score card in judging corn and other
grain products as well as the score
card for horses, cattle and hogs.
If you want this school conducted
in your community, get busy, as Mr..
Stewart tells us that it will be car
ried to the localities that really want
it and show some willingness to make
an effort to appreciate it when it
comes.

made up of practical people and the
