Of brush where Old Man Coyote haa

should do next He didn't dare leave
that pile OF brush for fear Of Old
Alan Coyote, and he didn't dare re-
main there for fear OF Billy Mink.
Old Man Coyote couldn't get him
there. but Billy Mink could. and he
knew that Billy Mink was following
his trail by means OF that wonderful
little nose OF his.
So Jumper was in despair. He
couldn't remember ever having been
in quite such a bad situation. Not
knowing what to do. he did nothing
but sit still and shake with fright.

Billy Mink wasted no time looking

man about his own age. The trav-
eler ignores the advance. A few
minutes later he Is greeted as
"Wilr" by an elderly lady and gen.
ueman, who stop their auto to
speak. He lmagines Il a case OF
mistaken Identity and announces
himself as Richard Clinton" on
his way to the coast. The couple
appear greatly surprised, and learn
ing he Is to be in town until mid
night. the lady. introducing herself
as Mrs. kirkland. and her husbt
as Doctor Kirkland. invites him to
dinner. explaining the ction by his
truly remarkable resemblance to a
friend of theirs. He accepts. At
the Kirkland home he meets a
young lady who greets him as her
fiance. She Is Ellen Kirkland, and
plainly is greatly hurt by his asser-
tion that he is Richard Clinton. At
dinner Clinton learns that his host
Is medical specialist and that he
is believed to be Will Lowrie, a
young man who had been suffer-
Ing from g nervous breakdown and
had gone east for medical treat
ment Lowrie had had In his pos
session bonds of the value Of $1OOr-
900, belonging to the bank where
he was employed, which have dis
appeared and of which he has nc
recollection. With Doctor kirkland
Clinton goes TO the Lowrie home,
the doctor being satisfied that Amy
Lowrie. Wits sister. will convince
Clinton he is really Lowrie, suffer-
Ing from loss OF memory. Amy de-
clares at once he is her brother,
and insists on treating him as such,
to his great embarrassment. Doc
tor Kirkland sends telegram to
the sanitarlum where Lowrie is un-
dergoing treatment. Ellen and Amy
try In vain to convince Clinton he
Is VIII Lowrie. They manage, how
ever. 10 prevent his going. BENIN,
sultor OF Amy and an agent of
the bank, moves in the matter OF
the missing bonds. The sanitariunn
