THE MYSTERY MEATH
AN OLD MAPLE TREE
CHAPTER TIT.

Nobody saw the piece of paper
fall out of the box Mary said she
was going to take the box home to
put her paper dolls in. She went to
get the box, and as she picked it
up, she saw a little key by the box.
She took the key and box to John
and Alice. They said the key
must have dropped out of the box;
but what was it in there for?
Mrs. Green went in the house to
get supper, for it was five o'clock.
After she got supper started, she
went in the front room, as she was
reading. Something that Alice said
drew her attention. She sat and
listened to the children talking.
They were talking about the key.
She got up and went out to the
children. She told them she had
heard them talking about it. They
told her about finding the tin box
and then Mary found the key.
Mrs. Green said: Let's organize
a secret club and each one try to
find out about the key"
They organized and Mrs. Green
was president, and Mary secretary.
They adjourned to meet the next
Tuesday. John acted very funny,
and said: Il think something is go
ing to happen at the next meeting"

they both came to the pasture
one day and joined my goats and
have been here ever since. | never
knew where they came from, or
whom they belonged to-"
well here we ere at the barn;
you must run back little Nanny;
| can't take you with me today, al.
though 1t does seem a shame to
separate you two lovers" said the
circus man.
AS Billy went through the bars,
he halted a second to give Nanny
a last goodbye kiss: and with
tears streaming down her face,
Nanny stood and watched him un.
til they were out of sight.
The circus man tied Billy to tho
back of his buggy and whipping up
his horse he started for town. Bill.
ly had to run fast to keep up and
though he got out of breath, ne
could not stop unless the horse did.
The worst of it was the horse kick
ed up such a dreadful dust that it
nearly blinded Billy as it flew up
in his face from under the buggy.
At last they came to the outskirts
of the town, where the circus tents
were pitched, and Billy was united
from the buggy and led inside a
large tent where cages of wild
animals were arranged around the
outer edge, while in the center two
elephants and four camels were
tethered.

Billy Whiskers was the most sur
prised goat you ever saw when the
circus man threw the rope over his
head, for 1t was the first time he
had ever seen lasso thrown, and
had he only known 1t, the circus
man had been a cowboy in his
younger days and lassoed many
head of cattle. When Billy found
he was fairly caught. his pride had
a fall, for he had thought himself
too smart to be caught, and instead
of him leading the men a chase
and making them cross the brooks
to get him, they were pulling him
off the bank and through the water,
making him follow them.
AT first he tried to pull back and
get away, but he had to give that
up. for the rope frightened around
his neck and shut off his breath,

Dr. Gregg was the choice over Dr.

son of Bishop Joshua H. Jones, by
large majority of the ninety-tWo mem
bers of the trustee board present. me
meeting of the trustees was marked by
considerable log-rolling, but the Hare
mp came when Bishop Connors, of Ar
kansas offered an innocent resolution
committing the members to the candl-
dacy of Senator Harding for president:
This aroused many to oppose 1T, ana
especially members from Ohio, who de-
ciared that politics should have no place
in the meeting. Major W. T. Anderson,
retired chaplain in the United states
army, in opposing the resolution, statcd
that there were many Ohioans who
were not Hardingites, and they were
opposed to a voteless representative
from the south attempting to inject poi
itcs into the board, and to commit col
ored Ohioans. The resolution was unal-
lmously tabled.
1t is expected that the board of the
