MYSTERY Of CRESSTE FARM
BY JULIA r. BURR

fixed her foot. Mr.. Praudlen tele-
phoned his wife, and then Mrs.
Landworth refreshed them all with
little food, which they shared
with their captives, who deserved
ii not at all. And then they be-
gan to unravel the remaining ball
Of mystery.
Jimmy wrote an account of the
whole affair to his father the next
day.
"And, father" he wrote. "the
schemes of all three of the men
were different.
AT first, Mr. Lander turned down
the tramp's request for food, but on
second thought he supplied him.
But that was for his own use. He
was operating this still in the
Cresste house alone, and thought
this man would do to run 1t for
him. But the tramp had buddie,
whom he wanted to work with him,
so Lander let him, in order to
have peace. Somehow or other the
tramp had found out that Uncle
John had not banked the money
and so staged the robbery, which ]
related to you a few pages back.
Matte really did have to leave
suddenly. Her mother died about
an hour after she arrived home.
But she had left Jackie with Con-
stance, as l said Virginia and I had
thought. Constance had run on
up to the house in order to surpass
me In seeing the place firsD. The
tramp was lurking around, and,
seeing Jackie, thought 1t would be
good way to get that money.
Constance had turned her back on
Jackie just for moment to wave
goodbye to Matte. The tramp
grabbed him up, and he began to
scream. Constance turned then,
and saw 1t all. She Immediately
and fearlessly started out after
them, but the tramp, seeing she
was going to make trouble, let
her get even with him, and then
"copped" her also and then took
them to the Cresste house. And
yes, 1t was he who put that letter
into the mail-box. And then you
know all about the lights and the
shrieks-I told you that in the sec
ond or third page. Mr. Lander had
just installed that apparatus in
order to make more people really
believe that the house was haunted.
Therefore, they would not venture
into it, and his stills would not be
discovered. The underground tun-
mel that we crawled through was
where they kept lot of this home
brew, and men who wanted to buy
it, would come up the gully to these
bushes, (only they had much cas-
Ter path to it, which we afterwards

oh, so glad that this is only the sec
ond day of our visit. And maybe
wei. be as balky as mules when it
comes to getting US home. Uncle
John has the jolliest and happiest
family in the world-next to ours!
Il hope before we have to come
home that something else will hap

chronicle to the Mystery of Cresste

discovered), and it was sold to
them there. Quite a scheme, was
1t not?
But the man | want to tell you
about most is Mr. Lander. He is a
genuine criminal and almost got
Uncle John into serious trouble,
But first, | want to tell you that his
grudge against Uncle John was
NOT because Bob and Ned had
once torn down his fence, but it
was because of Bob. 1t seems that
Bob, with a bunch Of other fellows,
planned and carried out an expedi-
ton to Cresste farm to find out for
themselves what was really tied
up" in the old place. Ned was MOI
in it, nor did he know anything of
it. Bob had been afraid to tell him
for fear of his giving them away,
Internationally of course, and then
Uncle John would prohibit their
going. Bob was recognized as lead
er by Mr. Lander, and he knew how
very keenly Bob dug into matters.
Therefore, for three nights he had
to stay away from the place (the
boys expedition lasted that long,
and he had to throw away a new
batch" of home brew, for if 1t
should be discovered, he knew it
would Immediately arouse suspic-
ion. OF course, all this made him
very angry, and he began to plan to
get even with Bob through Uncle
John. And now, here is where he
shows himself as a mean character.
All along, he had been making
counterfeit money, which had thus
far been used and passed without
detection. And he a steady-goingI
churchman! But this money that
he gave Uncle John he had made
so that upon close inspection its
falseness could be seen. And he
had successfully planned it how he
should escape blame when 1t was
traced back to him. His whole aim
was to imprison Uncle John. 1t
certainly was lucky he forgot to-
bank the money, for he himself had
not detected any difference!
But the whole thing fell through
when the tramp did the kidnapping.
OF course, he didn't know that the
money was bad, or he shouldn't
have gone to all the trouble that
he did. SO that's all there is to 1t,
and the Cresste farm mystery, I'M
which Connie and played such an
important part, is solved forever.
Mr.. Lander is now in Jail, although
Uncle John would have freely for
given him and let him go (youI
know how Uncle isl but-the sher-
if was in the rescue party!
"And it is not quite twenty-four
hours yet since all this happened
and yet, We have had enough ex-
citement to last for weeks. You
were right when you said that there
was as much excitement on farm
as in the city! Connie and / are
