groups of two each. One group should
so forward to the house and investi-
gate; one should stay near the car: the
third was 10 go to the road and be
ready to run for help to the neares;
police box. from which they could
telephone for mounted ranger. The
first group if they found anything
suspicious at the house, was TO give 4
signal-Tom had a police whistle for
this purpose, AS soon as the signal
sounded the second group was to throw
rocks into the autos engine and do
all the damage to the works that was
possible. also puncture the tires so
that the burglars could not get away.
And the third group was to race for
the police box.
Tom and Grace volunteered to be

agreed TO stay by the car and May

drew near their motions became
stealthy. It was we'll. for as they
came in sight of their destination they
saw a man climbing out of the pantry
window. Two others followed him
and they all carried guns.
That's enough" whispered Tom.
and drawing out his whistle he blew
blast that could have been heard
for miles.

Grace.
Tom first placed his old felt hat on
his staff and put it where it could be
seen just above the big gray boulder

They'll think some one is hiding
here"
They then ran off as fast as they
could

A fourth man stepped out of some
bushes and blocked their way. "Wha:
are you doing here, eh?"
Just playing" replied Tom.
The man looked from one to the
other as If he could not make up his
mind what to do. Just then there
was loud report. Il sounded like a
large gun going of. The man started
guiltily. Then Selling Tom roughly by
the collar and Grace by the arm he
began pushing them towards the
house. There was another shot, an
other and another. The man let go OF
the children and ran in the direction
of the car hidden in the woods Tom

as they could.

Afterwards Benny found his clay,

sixth birthday. and very proud
y III he was of it. too. He carried 1t
when out walking with his father that
afternoon The walk terminated in a
large museum. and Arthur was very
much interested to see cases filled with
nothing but canes. OF course. you
must remember that canes were up
permost In the boys mind. and so he
piled his father with questions about
the queer looking specimens in the
cases.
What funny canes they are" said
the boy. they are not nearly as pretty
as mine"
Those are very old walking sticks"
explained hts rather. Some of them
were found way over in the Bible
lands and are thought TO have been
carried in Biblical times"
There is a picture in my Sunday
School of Moses with a cane" said
Arthur.
Yes. walking sticks have been used
in all ages. from Bible times down to
the present day. Plain branches OF
.rces were sometimes used. but as time
went on these became more and more
