Billy Whiiskers
By Francis Trego Montgomery

The dogs were just crunching the
last bones and licking their cnops,
when Stubby thought he heard a
familiar whistle, and on raising his
ears SO he could hear better, he
heard a quick, imperative call, which
sounded as if it said:
Hurry up, Stubby, or you will get
left! Come this minute Or I shall
go without you'll
THAT whistle means Tom has fin
ished nlending his machine, and I
must get back Or he will be off with
out me. For no matter how much
he would like to wait for me, he
can't. as he is making a time record
for himself. which will not allow him
to wait for his grandfather. let alone
a stubby-tailed dog. Thank you so
much for the sport and your hospi-
tality. Goodbye. I must be on
And like a shot, Stubby tore down
the road and reached the monoplane
just as it was rising from the ground
It fairly made him shiver to think
what a narrow escape he had had
from being left.
We'll, Stubby, you just got here
| in time. I hated to leave you, but
| couldn't wait another minute. AS
| it is, I waited three for you. Don't
| take such chances again. for I should
! hate to lose you as a passenger, you
| are so much company for me and no
| trouble at ALL"
| stubby craned his neck and look
| ed over the arm of the chair as
| they sse higher and higher, to get
| a last peep at the farm and the three
| dogs who were staring up at them,
| alongside the family. and he parked
| a goodbye to them. which all three
| dogs returned by barking as loudly
| as they could, until the nonoplane
| was only a speck the sky, no larg-
| er than a, swallow. -.
We know how Billy and Stubby
are getting alone. Now we must
go back and see how Button and
! Harry are faring in their flight.
| For some reason the hydrop1ane
was not working well. It went by
| fits and starts, jerks and dips, and
| Harry could not imagine what could
| be the matter He hated to stop, for
he was already behind the other boys
but after trying everything he could
think of to make it go faster, he
eventually decided there was nothing
more to do but to aight as soon as
| he could find a good landing-p1ace.
All he could see under him for
miles was a dense cedar forest, with
| tall poplars and white birch trees
dotting it here and there. with never
a bare place as big as your pocket
| handkerchief on which to land. What
was he to do? Land he must and
that quickly, for the hydroplane was
now webbing badly, and going slow
er and slower. This meant that I'M
less he foundf a place to land soon,
his machine would fall in the tops
of these trees and be smashed to
pieces.
CTomorrow you'll see what he in
ally did,

CAN IT BE
That we will be reading some day
of the exploits on the diamond OF
another Ed Walsh-son of the fam
GUS spitbal1 king who made baseball
history with the White Sox years
ago?
We may be. For the young lad
has already drawn the attention of
big league fans by his spectacular
pitching.
Hurting for the South Meriden,
Conn, semi-pro team recently young
Walsh struck out fourteen men and
did not issue single pass. The Mo
hawk team, victim Of Walshs skill.
is rated as one of the fastest in that
section of the country.
Big Ed was noted for his con-
troll and ability to make the might
lest sluggers Whit when he was go
ing good. This one game doesn't
make a. career but the dyed-in-the-
wool lovers of the game would like
to see more of the youngster for
sentimental reasons.

the blackboard as Billy reached the belt of trees.
 As she clung to the pitching buck board and piled the whip, she spccu- lated on the probability of Jack Mur- ray firing on her. He must realize her purpose. He had been called many things, but fool was not one of them. He might even shoot her. She recalled dim stories of Jack Mur- rays ruthlessness and grim single ness of purpose
 A Winchester cracked in the rear. The near mule staggered, tried to turn a somersault, and collaped in a heap of sprawing legs and outhrust neck. The off mule fell on top of his mate, and Hazel catapulted over the dashboard and landed head first on top of the off mile
 The oft mule regained his feet with a snort and a lurch, in the process throwing Hazel into a squaw bush. Dizzy and more than a little shaken. that young woman scrambled back into the trail and feverishly set about unhitching the mule
 She heard q yell from the wash Fingers busy with the breast -strap snap, she looked back to see a man hurdle the outcrop and plunge to- ward her through the brush.
 Wait" he bawled. 'Wait!'
 She punched the reins in her left hand. He was tall mule, but she swarmed up his shoulder by means of collar and names, threw herself across his withers and besought him at the top of her lungs to Go. Go! Co.,"

 CHAPTER ". Now there," said Riley Tyler, star ing at the driver Of blackboard. "is a girl that is pretty as a III red wagon, new painted.'
 Hazel Walton stepped into the blackboard. kicked the brake lever and swung her team like workman
 Billy hopped across the sidewalk aiid Idll out HUI lllt IIIiuic ol street. He scooped up a package that had fallen from behind the seat and hurried up to the blackboard
 Then he realized that Riley Tyler had not told half the truth about Hazel Waltons eyes True, they were big and black and soft, but they were deep too, deep as cool rock pools, and they looked at you stead fly with a straight look that somehow made you wish that you had been a better boy.
 You don't come in town very often," was his sufficiently inane yob- servation.
 Not very often," said she, and smiled.
 Billy stood quite still in the middle of Main street, with his hat off, and looked after her a moment as she drove away. Then he pulled on the
New Britain herald., 1922-03-14

hat with a jerk and returned to his packing case.
 What did she say to you?" Riley wanted to know.
 "None of your business" was the ungracious reply. Riley crossed one knee over the other. "I got eyes, have. Oh, mush and milk, loves young dream, and when shall we meet again."
 "AW, shut up." urged Billy, and showed his friend off the packing case and went elsewhere hastily
 Hazel Walton, jogging along the homeWard way, was overtaken by a horseman. She returned his greet ing, but scowled and made a little face after his retreating back. She did not like Jack Murray. She never /, had.
 Hazel wondered where Jack Mur- ray was riding so fast. For it was a hot day. Her wonder grew when, 20 minutes after he had passed from sight. she perceived by the hoof marks that he had left the trail and
  ending in a rock-strewn, unclimba- ble slope that was the base of Block Mountain.
 Beyond the wash the trail wound up the side of a hill At the crest of the hill the off mule picked up stone. After 10 minutes hard ham mering and lowering with her jack knife she had the stone out. As she released the foot from be- tween her knees and straightened her back, her gaze swept along the back trail. The wash into which Jack Murray had ridden was distant not half a mile.
 She saw Jack Murray's horse and there was something queer about the horses head. Whereas Jack Murray's horse when 1t passed her on the trail had been sorre of solid color, the head was now whitey- gray.
 Ever since she and her uncle had come to realize that someone was rustlihg their cattle, neither of them ever left home without field glasses. Hazel pulled her pair from beneath the seat clushion and focused them on the odd-looing horse.
 Its a flour sack over the horses head!" she exclaimed. "I wonder why Jack doesn't want him to whin- ny. And where is Jack?''
 Two minutes later she found Jack. He was lying on his stomach in the brush. Jacks rife was poked out in front of him. Why?
 A few minutes later that question THE R1DER-Galley D.
 was answered by the sudden appear ance of rider at a bend of the trail a mile back. With a gasp she recog- nzed the rider on the trail by his high-crowned white hat: only one man in Golden Bar wore such a hat and that man was Billy Wingo.
 She knew that Billy would be masked by a belt of trees before he travelled another 30 yards. not to emerge into view again till he topped rise of ground about a thousand yards from the base of the hill on which she stood. If Hazel could only reach the top of the rise first

The reason IKUNIZED YEAST brings such amazing results in so many cases is because it not only contains a proper amount of all three essential vitamines, but also type of yeast which is admittedly unequalled as reconstructive agent. This yeast is entirely different from the yeast found in ordinary yeast tablets in that it is cultured expressly for medicinal purposes.

ing Diet
Greenwood, Sept. 2.-After sew
eral years of obscurity, the fearsome
cabbage snake has returned. A
specimen of the uncanny serpent,
believed by some to cause instant
death if eaten, has been captured
and Gagged in a peanut butter jar
here, wnere it is being watched with
much interest by cabbage consumers
Some insist that to eat the thing
means death by poisoning. A few
years ago the cabbage snake caused
considerable %commotion among veg
e~tarians of certain districts of this
state.
The newly discovered pest is a
long, sallow, thread of a worm that
appears to be weary of life. Some
think it IS merely an attenuated
earth worm that got into a cabbage
in it's youth and faded. Others We
hemently insist that it is a true cab
bage snake and they issue solemn
warnings against eating cabbage.
So CONSERVATION reigns among cab
bage consumers and even kraut is
taboo in places.
