tyred air "I go slice mine own self, onions, bacon, cferytng, l no like hees yellow hands fecx stool eat"
 Marion Lights the Fire
 She stressed the pronoun ludi. crously and stalked toward the boS in which we had packed the bacon and onions, began taking thcm out, first laying down a big sheet of brown paper upon the sand and woighung it with a couple Of small stones,
 Now. we're dot steak you bought, and doso apple tree sticks for dis fool fcrNin'"' she asked, trying 10 make her voice sulky. but succeed ing only indif'erently. l saw that the lure of the outdoors was fast getting my little maid who would rather camp than do anything else in the world and l answered her promptly and good-humoredly:
 "l'll get the steak right away but don't thread the things on the sticks until tho children can help you" l said. You. know Junior will he broken-hearted if he doesn't help fix a stick for a pirate steak"
 T guess he no care eef he only can dance round dot dirty old Chink," Katie muttered, but that she was modified by the promise of Juniors return to her, l well knew, and I hurried over to the campfire with the determination 10 see that Junior spent most of his time with faithful Katie, despite the undenisble fascination Of Lee Chow for my small son,
 l found Lee Chow looking up with stolidity which, surmised, masked inward rebellion toward Marion. who, with a blending of frmness and courtesy worthy Of her mother, was dominating the fire building.
 "I am sure your way is best for you, Lee Chow" she said sweetly, but If I am 10 light it with one match, as I want to. I shall have to have the wood laid this way
 She bent to the pile and illus trated her meaning. Lee Chow obeyed her directions implicitly, and then stepped back, after hand ing her a match with bow which to my imagination was highly ironic.
 I saw Katle's eager face in the background, and Junior gazing with implicit admiration and trust i at Marion. l felt the doubt and contempt for feminine ability on the part of the Chinese and uttered a little cry of exultation as the flame from Marion's single match 1 leaped from stick to stick of the cunniagly contrived fagots and sci l 1t all ablaze.

I got around a parlor maid - who is Of the curious, prying type, and though she hasn't much interest in it, she did say that MT. Raynor and old Cannon had interviews sometimes late al night - secret Ky"
 She tmag gined the secrecy. Why should they be secret about it? Gan non lives on the place = he is a sort Of pensioner on Raynor's bounty"
 "Of course he is -- but why"
 q gathered that they were old friends or acquaintances - that Cannon was less fortunate thsR Raynor thai he cared only for his natural history studies, and that Rayuor gave him home and a place to carry on his butterfly hunting -- or whatever he docs"
 You gathered most of the crop Of Cannon information -- but not all. That old coleer has -- had hold on the great man --- on Douglas sEaynor, that made Ray nor afraid of him. On the otheT hand, he was in some way afraid Of Raynor. So -- l got all thi: from the maid - they used to ar que over something and they spok' m low voices and behind closed doors, She listened. But all sh' could get was the sound of guar reling voices and after each inter view sort of patching up of th' matter until 1t broke out the mex time"

"1 spect that Walter and his mama and daddy are anxious to get back home with the fine treas ure they found upon Treasure ls- land" the Wizard said, "so We will sail the mat gical boat back as fast as it will take US there"
 "Yes," Walters mama said, we are anxious 10 get back home, and while we are sailing there on this lovely little magical boat, will d. vide the treasure equally between all of us"
 This is very nice'" FaEsedy Ann said But really. Raggedy Andy and I would not have any use for treasure, so you may di- vide the treasure between Tour- selves and not give any to Andy and me-
 And do not care for any either"' both the little fat Captain and the Wizard said.
 So the Wizard sent ths little Magic boat sailing back the way 1t had come and in a very short time the Raggedys and the little fat Captain and the Wizard helped Walter and his mama and daddy | carry the treasure ashore. And the Wizard with his magic charms built nice home for Walter and his mama and daddy and sent word all around that everyone who had need for golden pennies should come 10 Walters house.
 "Tor," Walters mama said, Nov that we have all the shiny pennies We must share them with all the people who live near here, so that they can buy the things they need"
 Why not build little town right here?" Eaggcdy Ann asked This is a lovely place, right in the deep, deep woods and you can have nice little ice cream soda par Tor, a fine little grocery store and fine bake shop, and everyone who comes to live Ill the pretty lit. tle town can have everything right hsndy.'
 "Uh, That will be just the thing Walters daddy said, "I will take d lot Of the golden pen uies and give them to the carpon' ters who build the cunning little house and we can buy all th' furniture 10 go in the houses too!'

What Marion Did to Make Her One
 Match "MOrk.v

Match Work"
 There was d quiet savagery in KatIe's voice ss she uttered her sanguinary threat against Leo Chow, which l never had heard be- fore, many and tompeStuous as have been the tantrums in which Katie has indu)ged since she has ben in my service, and which have overlooked because Of her es- sentlal harmlcssncss and perfect devotion.
 I gave her a startled arpraising look, and realized that she actual ly suspected the Chinese of having some dcsirn against Junior and that her threat to "keel' Lee Chow If ha hurt the child she idolized was no idle one. With my knowl- edgc of the mans Identity as Hugh Granrland faithful body servant who had materiaizcd so myster- iously from nowhere d few minutes i before, l could afford 10 laugh at x Katies fears, but not at her men Msl reaction 10 them.
 VI Katie was in a state bordering on hysteria, and was likely 10 in- torpret some innocent action of the Chinese as 7n attempt to inlure Junior. With a sigh, added her to my responsibilities o' the day and to make matters worse, found my own imagination dwelling upon her words. Suppose, after all Lee Chow was not what he claimed to be - I had no proof save his word, his evident knowledge of Hugh Grant land, and the kodak print of myself which the army officer had taken so long before.
 It took all the will power l pos sessed to shake myself free of the tremors which ka'ies nonsense had given me,
 "Ill give you full permission to kill anybody who harms Junior" l said to Katie with q disarming lit- tie laugh, Indeed. l should fec like committing murder myself, fl anybody even hurt him. And, Katie l want you to know that l appre. ciate your protection of Junior But you are utterly mistaken about Lee Chow. He is far more likely tc protect him from harm than tc hurt him himself"
 Katie gave me q look which spelled eloquent contempt for my Sirnited mentality.
 "You Wait und See!"
 "Msybe so," she shifted. Maybe SO. But shoost you wait und sec

 "Oh yes, they are nowadays. I can see it" she closed her eyes - 'I can see how 1t curves around yes, the right foot - the right side Of the foot"
 And the footprint was pointed toward or away from Mr. Raynor"
 Toward him."
 Miss Raynor your testimony is valuable, indeed. You have un- usual powers of observation and Of description. The footprint has been washed away"
 No" Miss Matte shook her head. Tt has not, but so many peo- pie haze looked al it, and meas ured 1t, and fused over it, that 1t is partly obliterated."

 Not necessarily, Mrs. Raynor' Wise said. Tt may he it vas footprint made in the afternoon - had it been rairing?"
 No" Miss Raynor said -- 'bu' the i:ardc,is ;r" ctten damp anG footprint would be possible

 Probably the footprint Of seryan+," Wise said, as he ros' from his chair and strolled about "You see, if there had been an In truder from outside, he would hav' left more than one footprint
