CHAPTER XXXyI
Home again

WHEY were swept along through the
-. crowds, and moment later Blakes-
lee was piling Mrs. Brcen and Theo
into a taxi. She thought be was COM
ing with them, but instead he gave
directions to the chauffeur to drive them
TO a hotel.
Theo had a momentnry vision Of his
dark face and his flashing white teeth
as he turned to her and smiled good-by
and then they were off through the
lightrd streets.
"well." Mrs. Breer said, turning 70
her suddenly. "Now's your chance.
It's almost as though things were ar
ranged for you. isn't it?"
Theo was silent. She was suddenly
facing the fact that she hated TO 60.
At that moment she was almost weak
enough to remain until later, but reso-
lutely she put that thought out Of her
head, and said quickly:
What about you? You won't get
into trouble on my account, will youE'
"Oh, no. III say you slipped away
after we had reached the hotel. Shall
I tell the driver to take US to the rail-
road station?'
Theo smiled at Mrs. Breen's obvious
wish to be rid OF her, but she settled
the matter herself by rnpping on the
glass and giving the chauffeur the di-
rections. He turned and stared at them
curiosity, but obediently turned the car
in the other direction, and in o few
minutes they we're at their destination.

around the lawn he chased him, and
finally he tagged him.
That is dose Number One!' cried
Doctor Fun at last. Now we will have
dose Number Two" He started q
frisky game of leapfrog by hopping over
the burglars back. And they all played
that, with the burglar hopping higher
and further than any one else.
Dose Number Three was q game Of
Lcndon Bridge is Falling Down. The
burglar showed he had a fine voice and
sang louder than any one. Dose Num-
Der Four was game OF Tom Tom
PUllaway, and the burglar ran so fast
back and forth he was the very last
to be caught.
Number Five was a game Of hide and
seek, and tho burglar proved such a
cunning hider that no one could find
him. They began 10 think he had run
away, until all at once they found
him up in a tree among the leaves.
That Is the last of the five doses.
Do you feel better" asked Doctor Fun.
II feel better than I have ever felt
in my nfe. want to play more games. "
II you want to play games you have
with bad persons" said Doctor Fun.
I'm be good" promised the bur-
glar.
And you must quit burglaring, for
folks are afraid Of burglars and
wouldn't think OF playing games with
them" went on Doctor Fun.
"Ill quit this very night" declared
the burglar.
SO that is how the burglar was cured.
And that he was cured Jack and Janet
found when they awoke next morning
for there we're all the burglars tools
IN heap on the dining room floor, and
the silver in the safe was not touched
Next week Jack and Janet have IN
adv enture with Jo!nted Mule and Balky

The cloth used to wash the dishes has
just as much n right to be snowy white

that We boiled everything and that we

L She had come to this country. with
the applause and ndmiratidrr OF two
nations.
She had never been beaten and she
was declared almost unbeatable.
But when she faced her opponent
across the tennis net, she met her
match, her superior.
For a time she held out, TAwlng n

skill, energy and determinations
And just about the time It became
apparent to the whole audience that
she was going to be beaten, she/ broke
down.
Walking off the court, she da'lared
she was too sick to 20 on playing. She
coughed and wept and coughed ag9n.,
She and her physicians called the
breakdown an attack Of bronchitis. .
And among the Americans who had
gone to SEQ her play and stayed to- see
her fail there was plain doubt.
Many of them were inclined TO oali

Whether she was too sick to 20 on

But the incident stuck in the minds
Of American people and involuntarily
lcssened their respect for her.
