1t was really quite as bad as being

offer to trade turkey. of whose private

contents of the bank in the sheriff's

has been kept secret.
Left alone with goose. which was
showing signs Of agitation among its
strange surroundings, and which was
waddling about the floor, under ia blos,

its clarion call of distress and fright,

And that's how Miss Wilkey was

training in France had been remark
ably short and intensive owing to the
unusual skill that was his, and that
he was to be given his chance sooner

bringing down one Of the best Ger

willingly have bartered his own life.
Fortunately, however, Dicky had
