Ogden, a belle of thirty years ago,
,vho had married a Count Zattiany
and lived abroad. He is convinced
that this is Mary's daughter; bit

prove futile.

keys and he helps her get into the
house. She asks him in and finally
tells him she is tho Countess Josef

He is keenly aware of her fascirsa

since free of illusions in regard to
men, admits to herself that this
particular young man has aroused
her interest. Clavering becomes

ADVENTURE OF

"This riddle" said the Riddle
Lady with smile, ''is about riost

even Nancy and Nick"
What is it?" shouted everybody.
"I'll begin at once" said the Rid

his dunce-cap in mistake for his
thinking cap, he'd better go home
and change it. But there! This is
the riddle:
"They have saucy shouts and curly
tails,
And bodies as round as milking pals,
And they like to grunt and they love
to Squeal,
And simply adore good square
meal.
"Thcy eat sweet apples and corn
and clover,
And roll in the mud till they're plas-
tered over,
And root and dig with mostly nose,
To find where the juiciest tuInip

bent,

roast beef,
And one got lost and came to g:ief.
"And one went to the grocery etore,

And bought him slice Of butter
and bread.
And one went into the BARRIERS shop,
And bought him a wig to wear on
top.
And one was stolen by the Piper's
Who picked him up and then did
run,
And one, they say, called Hickory
Dare,
Got flying machine and flew up in

"And one built house of straw and
hay,
The better to keep the wolf away,
And one built house of boughs and
sticks,
And one made house of good, hard
bricks.
But the wiscst one of all these
brothers,
Who had more sense than all the
others,
Was the wise little fellow who stay

And said he was satisfied not to
roam.
"Now what is the name of these

With the curly tail and saucy shouts,
Who roll in mud, and buy them wigs,
And come home again, home again
