ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Have you made your fortune yet,
Mister Zip?" asked Nancy.
The fairyman counted his money.
NO." he said sadly shaking his
head. "Not yet. There are too
many people getting into my park
for nothing"
"Flop Field Mouse and Mickey
Mole always come in by the gate,
now" said Nick. "And they pay
their way"
"Yes," said Mister Zip, "And L
think they learned a good lesson in
honesty. But there must be other
people getting in free, for yester-
day there we're more people than
tickets in the ticket box. l know
for I counted noses. You Twins
might do little more investigating
for me. There are more ways than
enc of getting into Happy Go Lucky
Park, I am afraid"
The Twins said goodby and went
off into the green woods.
1t was lovely day and the sum
light, coming down through the
green leaves, made the trees look
like lovely green lace.
Chippy Chipmunk was sitting on
the roof of his stone house enjoying
the weather.
"Hello!" said Nancy and Nick.
"Hello!" said Chippy. "Whefe did
you come from?'

cts a nice place." sighed Chippy.
"I've been there. If was like
Scamper and Scramble Squirrel,
Daddy Cracknuts nephews who are
visiting him, would be there ev-
cry day"
"What do you mean?" asked Nick.
"Why, you see," said Chippy, sad
ly. 81 can't climb so very high. 1
can only climb up stone piles and
fences and things like that. My
climbers are not sharp enough to
climb trees"
well, what has that got to do
with the squirrel boys going to
Happy Go Lucky Park?" asked
Nick.
"Oh, lots" said Chippy. Gall they
have to do to get into the park is
to climb a tree outside the park.
Then they jump from-tne branches
Of that tree to the branches of an
ether tree inside the park, and then
there they are. They go every day
and they have all the money their
father. gave them to spend on their
vacation, just for rides and things
like that. There they go now.
wish l could 60 along. I've got 5
cents to spend, But that wouldn't
even take me in"
Sure enough the two frisky squir-
rel boys were coming out of their
uncle's front door in Maple Tree
Flats at that very minute and the
Twins watched to see what they
would do.
Instead of coming down to the
ground, they ran nimbly out to the
end of branch where it touched
the branch of a pine tree. Then they
ran from branch to- branch Of the
pine tree until they came to a place
where the pine tree touched a maple
tree. They did the same with the
maple tree until they reached an
elm tree. From that to a chestnut
tree and so on until they came to
the edge of the woods where Happy
Go Lucky Park was.
A big sycamore tree grew right in
the park. When they reached it.
they slid down and there they were!
In the park as nice as pie, and all
for nothing!
"No wonder Mister Zip isn't max
ing his fortune" said Nick. "Come.
Nancy, well have to tell him."
But I'm sure the squirrel boys
didn't think they were. doing any
thing dishonest.

The coroner looked toward her;
waved his hand. The girl glanced
h~elplessly at the woodsman; sank back

Their plan was absolutely tiawless-
each night TO slip out a number OF
good bills and replace them with coun-
terfeit bills of the same denomination.
And the rumpling of the spurious
bills In tob]acco-stained leaf mold to
make them appear old and worm, so
practically eliminating the chances of
detection-it was a master thought.
Crouched in the s%hrubbery, the
woodsman pOndered the revelations of
the night. But what to do? Proof
1t was the one big word that con-
frOnted him. Since they had printed

false move and even that would dis
appear-and they had their eyes on
him.
But with all the caution of his wood
craft, Jack Warhope was not a man
to plan and scheme. He came Of other
stock than that. A stroke to the core
when the ripe instant came-and
devil take the chips, was his way. A
bold thought took shape in his mus

come. Another night would bring II,
with the banker warned and both of
them on guard.
With a grim look on his face he
crawled out Of the shrubbery, stole
back to the path winding along under
the dense shadows at the base Of
Black rock and slipped through the
corner of the orchard to his own
small cabin.
Pausing in the, fallow yard under
an old apple tree, just now renewing
It's youth In the glory of full bloom,
he stood for a long time sitting the
sounds of the night and frowning back
toward the red-roOfed cottage.
The moon stole up under the edge

the sleepy world at the bold assault.
