 The huge stocks of lamps, blankets, candy dolls, sweaters, robes and silverware are rapidly dwindling but may possibly last throughout the evening The booths have been extremely popular and be- cause of the high quality of the goods. 1t has been necessary to recorder on practically every line.

 She did as I asked her promptly. and without comment. as is always her wont, and for the next half-hour we fairly crawed along the road. while successive waves of fog rolled over us, st times completely shutting eff any sight of the road
 We won't be there at the hour you named" I said once worriedly.

 That she had judged the physician correctly I realized when. as we neared the appointed place, the head lights of another car turned into our road. and in another minute halted as we did with just enough room be- tween us to open both tonneau doors.
 And then Katherine. shrouded in mourning garments. leaped from the other car into ours. and Lillian said authoritatively:
 No use driving further in this, Dr Petit, just find q place where you can get SO far to the side of the road that no possible passing car will ram you and then turn off your lights. We have a good spot right beside us here and Madge can do the same thing And if a car does pass by and spots us, ten to one we'll be taken for a betting party or hooch distribution. ;"

 Just then Mrs Coon chanced to up in alarm
 T believe I'm turning white my self" she cried See these white patches on ne?'
 Yes" said Aunt Polly There's no doubt that you're catching it"
 Now Mir Coon had gone inside to finish his frogs legs. And coming to the door he overheard Aunt Polly's last remark
 Let me out" he believed ''e I'm going to leave home before I catch 1t tco" He squeezed past his son, who still fingered in the doorway Down the tree Mir Coon scrambled. When he reached the ground he gave q shriek. I've caught it already,' he howled He held up a paw. And sure enough. there was white streak on if.
 You may as well stay right at home" Aunt Polly told him. And don't any of you go near the water until you're better"
 She left them then And they were very gloomy family. They moped about and slept most of the day And when evening came they went out for a stroll
 Crossing the creek on a foot-log, all three of them slipped and fell into the water. And when they crawled out upon the bank they were all quite well again
 Aunt Polly Woowchuck always said that theirs was the most interesting case she had ever seen. To turn white in single night-that was a difficult thing 10 do. But to turn back again in a single day-that was even harder.

 They parted with vague appoint ment for dinner Jack hurried to his hotel to telephone his friend, Jimmy Hart. to come and help with the trap he had baited for Cousins, As he was telephoning Edna came in from her sight seeing trip.

 Edna turned wearily away fling ing down her hat, pushing back her hair with a sigh Jack finished his message, came swiftly to take his wife by the shoulders and peer into her eyes
