that half hour been his 50 to invest :;
but. the pressure of events had been too
strong for his benevolent intentions.
As a matter Of fact, tie Aurentskys. in
moving. had merely dragged their be-
lonGinEs down the street to a certain
alley and upstairs to the third floor Of
dlsCOnSolate wreck that once had been
a huge fashionable home built on the

water pressure was so low that much of

on which the Aurentsky family was in
stalled. In consequence, water for all
purposes had most of the time to be car

standing in buckets till wanted.
The day after this re-estabishment
OF his home, Jacob Aurentsky. with a
small stock of fruit and vegetables on

to fight with the flies. with dirt and with
chance, for such a living as luck and his
solicitations might bring. That day,
too, Sylvy Aurentsky surrendered a
bright and beautiful dream. She came
home from high school with her books
and sat herself in the remOtest of the
two rooms possessed by the family--sat

was depressed because youth could
hardly help being depressed at the ca
lamity which had come upon the family.
and discouraged by that part of the
blow which had fallen upon her person

Besides, her heart was full of bitter
ness. because she knew that by some
sharp practice her father had been
robbed by the very officers of the law
that were supposed to protect him; nor

Just then a farm truck drew up
next door to deliver butter and eggs.
1t was the same farmer who had car
ried Peggy into the country the time
she had reformed the Giant.

Perfume-" Peggy stopped short in
the midst of her wish Something had
dropped out of the oak tree above her
head and struck her on the nose. She
looked down. It was an aCorn-the

had sent to her with the message:

Will make you as if you'd ne'er been
born

Peggy eagerly picked up the acorn
and took a sniff of it, Sure enough
it was Camouhage Perfume. and it
worked, for her body instantly faded
from view.
She had to hurry if she was going
to catch ride, for the farmer was
starting his engine. She hoped on
