Billy Whiskers
BY FRANCES TREGo MONTGOMERY.

Billy nnally heard the kidnapers
creep out Of the hay, and. looking
through the crack, saw them ap-
proach the farmhouse and soon
come out each with a plate in one
hand and a cup In the other. And
II was not hard for Billy to Imag-
Inc that Mrs. Blackburn had Rfven
them a heaped-up plate Of meat.
potatoes and gravy, with a cup, Of
coffee to wash 1t down. She had
the reputation OF feeding all
tramps. beggars or peddlers who
asked her for bite. No one was
ever turned away from her door
hungry.
Now Is my chance to escape"
thought Billy. TIL go down, bid
the Widow Brown and Bettina
goodbye and get the Widow to
tell Button and Stubby where I
have gone. SO they can follow"
He went down and whether It
was the Widow Brown or Bettina
that was so entertaining that he
lost sight Of the time, or whether
they were afraid Mr.. Blackburn
would return and find them there,
Billy never could tell. All he knew
was that a rooster crowed to tell
him that the kidnapers were COM
Ing back to the barn, 90 he cut his
sentence short and ran Up into the
hay loft again and hid In the same
place In the corner, from which he
could see through q knothole and
crack the farmhouse and a good
bit OF the road that led to the
town. As he looked, he saw the
rooster had been mistaken and
that the kidnapers, instead OF COM
ing to the barn, had taken the
road to town. Billy watched them
until they were out Of sight, then
he came out Of his hiding place
once more and went down to his
friends.
"Graciousi wouldn't they be
angry IL they knew how near you
were to them and they never
discovered itT' asked Bettina.
The three were standing around
q pile OF fresh green grass the
hired man had just thrown into the
stableyard for the horses and cows
when stubby came bounding
through the stable door, all brist-
ling with excitement.
Billy Billy! Whom do you
think / have just seem"
The kidnapers'' replied Billy,
showing not the least excitement.
well. I must say you take the
news pretty coolly," said Sturdy,
sitting down On his tail.
oh come Stub atU then, he.

Unexpectedly

We're going to have a differ
ent Thanksgiving this year from
any we have ever had before"
said Mr.. Phillips. Joe and his
father were the best of pals, as,
since the death of Mrs. Phillips,
three years before. they had had
only each other. They were al
ways planning some new enjoy
ment together.
"We1l go to the cabin Of a
friend of mine in the woods.
It's closed for the season, hut
I'll arrange with him to let US
in. We can't have a Thanksgiv-
ing dinner there with all the
fixtures. but we can take along
some good provisions. Well
stay for about three days.
There's a coy fireplace in the
cabin and we can read and have
a real rest"
Joe could hardly wait until
the day came for their depar-
ture. 1t was showing when they
reached the cabin. but thew soon
had big fire going and forgot
the world outside. se =
Thanksgiving Day was cold
and stormy. They set about
early making preparations to
fry a rabbit which they had Sc
cured the day before.
II forgot to tell YOU" said
Mr.. Phillips, that we may have
company. Capt Emerson, an
old friend, is working on
smuggling case in this neighbor-
mood and may drop in"
Late in the afternoon Joe was
reading while his father was
taking a nap. There came a
knock at the door, Joe hurried
to open 1t. A big. burly man in
fur coat came In. I'VE were
expecting you," said Joe.
Thought you'd be here In time
to cat with US. Dads asleep.
Won't you come in? How's the
smuggling businessT'
I'm late" said the man.
Had trouble in getting here.
This idea Of getting In one of
these closed for the season
places is good. but take my adj
vice and tell your pa to pull out
tonight. 1t Amt safe around
here. I've got to go on. Can't
come In. Found the place all
right. according to directions.
Here you are"
Before the astonlshed Joe
could say a word, the man
showed a box in Joe's hand and
left. Joe opened II. his face
puzzled There lay a heap of
glittering Jewels on the cotton
bed.
Father called Joe. Wake
up. We've got Thanksgiving
