He rolled up his sleeve and stared
at the symbol on his forearm. He
laughed again as he recalled a night
he had entered Jeanne's room and
stuffed the little note in the side OF
her mirror. II only he could get hold
of that certificate. to see II h had
written her name there!
Next day Morgan r~ecounted 10

brought about his downfall. and he
wa keen for reprisal. He must now
remain in hiding. but he would man
age to keep in communication with
her. Besides. he had some news io'
her he could not put on paper.
He was determined. to attack Par
son Kennedy first. And this fell in
with Jeanne's plan ~agreeably. Par
son Kennedy knew. and torture should
wrest the secret from him.

"H'mph! This smells strongly Of
my old friend Morgan. We've nipped

THE block IN which Number Nine

Kennedy mounted the steps and
rang the bell. Then things began to
happen. Men dashed out Of h door,
and came pouring from h alley. By
their sudden and unexpected volleyinz

AN IMPERISHABLE GIFT

When you make a Christmas gift of
a years subscription to The Youths
Companion you think, of course, of
the first great thrill that comes when
those first holiday issues are opened

ance of ifty-two more thrills before
the capacities Of the gift are exhaust
ed. You can't do that with any gift
that is made for immediate consump-
ton, like candy or fruit. Today it is
here; tomorrow it is but a memory.

Finding Buffalo Herd Difficult

WKEN the idea of putting ''The
Covered Wagon" on the screen
first came to the executives OF Para
mount Pictures. one Of the problems
was the buffalo hunt 50 graphically
described, by Emerson Hough. Where
could a herd of buffalo be found in
1922~roaming the plains at will?
Obviously, even IL permission could
be obtained to use them. the herd in
Yellowstone Park would not do.
While there are many of them In
Canada, that was too far away. Then
some bright mind suggested Antelope
Island.
"Where in the deuce is Antelope Is
landf" some one inquired. Anyhow,
We don't want antelope; we want
buffalo"
Then it was explained that there
are 500 buffalo on Antelope Island
and that they're wild. Walter Reed,
location expert, went up from Holly
