or course that pleased Henrietta Hen, She began to cluck in a very proud fashion, And she looked all around to SC if the neighbors were admiring her.
 You go to Farmer Green and ask him to send Frisky Squirrel away from the farmyard," Grandma Goose said to her.
 Henrietta stopped clucking,
 "oh, mol" she answered quickly. You go!"
 1T can't leave my twelve children" Grandma Goose explained. T can't spare the time"
 Why not write Farmer Green a letter?" suggested another hen an elderly dame known as Old Whtey. And everybody exclaimed that that was the best idea yet. That is, everybody except Henrietta Hen,
 Who will sign the letter?" Hen rietta asked.
 wen all sign it," Old whitey told her.
 Who'll sign it frst?"
 Grandma Goose!" said Old Whitey "shc has lived here longest"
 But Grandma Goose said that her writing was so old fashioned that she would prefer to sign the letter last.
 Somehow everybody else had just as good--or as poor--an excuse for not signing the letter first. It began to look as if they couldn't send any letter to Farmer Green. And just then Jimmy Rabbit, who had been listening to this talk, sprang forward with a new plan.
 Send Farmer Green a round robin"' he cried.
 Grandma Goose thanked him. And turning to little Mir. Chippy. who was pcrched on the stone wall nearby, she called to him: Wont you kindly fly over to the orchard an dask Jolly Robin to come here?"
 Mir. Chippy was up and away in the twinkling of an eye.
 Why do you want Jolly Robin ?" Jimmy Rabbit asked Grandma Goose.
 Why? Because he's the roundest robin know of" she retorted
 She didn't notice the faint smile that crept across Jimmy Rabbits face.

Encouraged by 1t, put out my hands in desparinE gesture of appeal.
 Please" l choked, but at the word he shook his head
 T couldn't get you out of here. Miss. no matter how much l might want to-" he said,
 T don't want to get out Of here" I said softly. but swiftly, "I only want you to give something have here to the Big Tangerinc, without any one else seeing you"
 He gave an astonished start.
 What do you know about the Big Tangerinep" he asked.
 Never mind that now" l said, "i haven't time. But will you give him this?" I jerked the scarab from my dress, and held it out to him.
 He looked at it doubtfully for a few seconds, then snatched it from me. and wrapping it in a handker- chief thrust it into his pocket
 "I'll do it." he said. When l have the chance. But don't count on his getting it right away, Miss, The Big Tangerine isn't here now"

The Loophole Madgc Thought Showed Daylight For Her

Grace Draper laughed maliciousl as she saw the look of recognition gave the woman standing at her e bow.
 ''oh, yes." she said airily, as if had spoken, you've met Linda before She helped mo put one over on yo, that almost brought mo what want ed, She's good kid. Linda"
 The woman's eyes looked at hci with the unquestioninE worship one sees only in dogs eyes. That drink and drugs were fast breaking her was patent. had seen their traces or my first meeting with her, and she showed their ravages much more plainly now. Something else was also clear---her absolute dependence on Grace Draper. There would be no use in trying to appeal to Lindo's sympathy. l had the eerie feeling that she would scalp me without de- mur, were Grace to ask her to do so.
 Without raising her veil--I duly wondered if she ever removed it. Grace Draper walked to the door, turning with her hand on the knob for terse mandate:
 Wait here, George. Don't go till come back. If she tries anything, Linda, George will gag her again."
 Madgc Surprises George
 She went out swiftly. And with the trapped feeling settling pall-like upon me, looked hopelessly at the chauf- feur, and to my astonishment saw in his eyes something which my tense imagination interpreted as pity. My earlier vague impression that he was the least dangerous of my three cap tors revived, and l saw clearly that he was my one hope of sending the scarab to the Big Tangerine," as Harry Underwood had directed. l fogged my weary faculties to the task of getting Linda out of the room be- fore Grace Draper should return.
 There was no hint of sympathy in Linda's eyes as she none too gently removed the gag from my mouth.
 You may be a slick onc." she said, with leer, but don't try anything on mo, for it won't work"
 T don't want to try anything" l murmured with an appearance of ex- 1huStlOn anu pdlL--"ilCH was Hol wholly feigned.
 Please let me lie down and have a drink of water or tea"
 Well :" Linda appeared to be re- yolying problem in her mind. ''Gracie said to give you something to eat. so I guess that will be all right. And you may lie down for all I card''
 "I1l Do It, But"
 She turned to the chauffeur irreso- lutely.
 'I don't know" she began, while feared they could hear the excited humping of my heart. Will you hr responsible for her while Pm gone?" "Of course" George replied. Tat chance she'd have of gettin. out of here even if she did try anything" f.c added. and I imagined I detected an elusive pity in his tone.
 All right" Linda returned but guess I'll lock the door just the same while I'm gone"
 She chuckled maliciously as she went out of the door, and as we heard the key grate in the lock I saw flush of resentment on the chauffeur's face.

 Prescott.
 I hope you have been more sue cessfu than l, Jack, old man. think, however, you made mis take in going back to obtain those letters. I'm almost sure that tht old man, Leslie's father, suspects tha there is a hole somewhere in the i'm portance of that business proposition He will be sure some day to find out Right here. let me tell you that have hard work to keep Leslie from writing a letter to your firm, telling them she didn't think they were very nice to send for you, If she had done this the fat would have been ir the fire.
 Somewhere l have an indistnct recollection of someone saying wc weave very tangled webs when VIC begin the ugly pattern of deception l think you're all wrong about the little perier. l mean going back tC get those letters. In the first place she will attach great deal more importance to them than they de- serve if they contain nothing more than you have told me.
 I like your Leslie, John, and I be- lieve if were standing in your shoes I would promptly go down or my knees and, telling her the whole story, ask her to forgive me.
 Women like to forgive, John, it is about the only time in a woman's life that she can exercise the abso- lutcly super-human quality of mag. nanimity. It is q virtue that humans seldom have q chance to practice even when they have the greatness to be able to do so if called upon.
 With all deference to you, my boy, I cannot understand why Miss Ham, ilton took you instead of Karl Whit ney That man Whitney is pure gold. Rich, handsome, real man Some girl is going to get jewel when she marries him. Being only an outsider, l cannot understand why she passed Whitney over and took you. I do not believe that Whitney has ever thought of another woman in all his life. Don't say to me per haps that is the reason why she took you. l do not believe that womoD ike experience in men any more than men like it in women.
 Anyway I'll be sorry for you if the time ever comes when she finds out that you have lied to her about your youthful pecadillos and contrasts you with the splendid one -woman's man that I already know Karl Whitney to be.
