 "Oh. yes, the coffee was too strong yesterday" she exclaimed. If you want 1t that way. Katie will have to make a separate pot for me. Now I'm going to hunt up Richard. You'd better come along. He may have stumbled outside in the dark and broken his neck.'

 With a deftness born of long ex- perience in helping him. I worked swiftly over the packing until I had reduced it to order, and returning to my own room set my alarm clock for an hour but little after daylight.

 "I tell you what we might dol" Red Higgins said, We can watch and whenever the Pirates send anyone 10 the grocery to get food. we can capture him and tie him to a tree, then when we capture every last one of the Pirates, we can sail away in the boat! Of course, we would unite them first, for it would not be right 10 sail away and leave them tied to trees, even if they are pirates."
 This seemed a good plan, and, as our friends knewt he Pirates did not have any food aboard the little boat, they crept up to where they could peep through the bushes.
 Presently they saw one of the Pirates with a sack climb down the rope ladder, Hes coming ashore to go to the grocery store!" Red Higgins whispered. Lets wait until he gets back in the woods, then l will run after him and capture hlm!' So this IS what they did. When the Pirate left the little boat he walked right up the path and Red Higgins and the others fol- lowed him. When the Pirate was far enough from the boat Red Hig- gins ran up to him and said, Give up, or I will have to fight you!" And, as the Pirate did not wish to give up, he and Red Higgins had a great fight. They pushed each other and tusseled this way and that, until Red Higgins tusseled the best and captured the Pirate.
 There! That's one." Red Hig- gins said. Now for the others"
 So the Raggedys and their friends went back to the shore to wait and watch.

The Surprising Thing Katie

Hush" l whispered warningly even as flushed with pleasure d the genuine admiration in Dicky'l voice as he uttered the whimsical compliment upon my success il managing" his mother. "Remem. Der. your mother does not yet know where you are."
 He threw up his arms.
 And she'll never let up until she sees that I'm safely tucked up for the night" he groaned. Put your thinking cap on Mrs. Machiaveli Your stunt isn't finished yet"
 'Child's play" l retorted scorn- fully. That is, if you don't decide to prove that the hatchet-and- cherry-tree story might have been true and refuse to tell a tarradiddle when I've paved the way for you."
 I'm not the one with the Puri- tan complex" he said slyly, but I ignored him and moved toward the door.
 ''I'll so to your mothers room now, under pretense of asking her about breakfast" l said. "and when you hear the door close behind me you"
 Beat 1t down the backstairs, cut around to the front door, slam 1t and come upstairs whistling," he interrupted. You see, you're not the only think-tank hitting on all six"

 Be stalled on a hill with my brakes not working" he finished with grin. "Run along, old dear on your errand of mercy"
 I unlocked the door noiselessly, opened it by inches and seeing that the hall was clear,s went swiftly down the hall to my mother-in-law's room, knowing that Dicky was ap- plying a wary eye to the narrow space where I had left the door ajar.
 Come in," she said acidly when I had knocked, and her short query, "Well, what is it." when I had entered, also betrayed her an- noyance at my disturbing her.

 She had taken off her dress and shoes and put on dressing-gown and soft felt slippers, but there Ezs no indication that she meant to go to bed, and felt sure that her search for her son was only deferred. not abandoned.

taneous. But an autopsy has re- vealed the fact that MT. Raynor was also the victim of poisoning"
 He paused and looked at one after another of the silent group.
 Only Miss Matte showed excite-' ment. '.
 Yes" Fraser went on, ''snt ex- animation of the contents of the stomach shows the presence of ar- senic, taken very lately. ...
 "As may not be known to you laymen, the symptoms of cumula- tive arsenical poisoning are anemia, shortness of breath, .occa sional prostration, pallor, and excessive thirst. All these things were pres ent in Mir. Raynor's case, and I'm sure you can remember them."
 T do." Miss Matte cried. "Oh, my poor Douglas! Yes, he was go thirsty at luncheon yesterday, he called for one glass of water after another! Poisoned! Oh, my God"
 The elderly spinster hid her face in her hands.
 This" Fraser went on, opens up a new field of inquiry. We must assume that some one administered the arsenic from day to day"
 Unless it was suicide" put in Ezra Goddard. -
 There is that possibility" aA aJ is htoi,fy improbable. To resume; This pro- cess of arsenical poisoning of MT. Raynor must have been going on for at least fortnight or so, and had he not been shot. and had the , poisoning continued, the man must have died from its effects in the course of another fortnight"
 The alert eyes of Detective Dob- bins scrutiniEed the faces before him.
 But save for the contorted and agonized countenance of Miss. Mat tie, they were all stonily devoid of expression.
 Nancy Raynor looked like .a statue cut in marble. Her face was colorless, even her lips were almost white, and her great dark eyes were piercingIy fastened on the face of Doctor Fraser.
 Can anyone present." Fraser went on. Suggest any explanation of this poisoning process?"
 As no one replied, he questioned each in turn.
 Certainly not" Nancy Raynor said, her voice and manner perfect ly composed. "I cannot imagine who would attempt to poison my hus- band, and I am most certainly sure he never thought of doing such q thing himself"
 The thing is almost incredible" orviIe Kent said, in turn. Why, if somebody was successfully poisoning a man, would he also shoot him."
 That is a question easy to ask and difficult to answer" Dobbins declared.
 Miss Turner Fraser said, ''as nurse and dietitian to Mir. Raynor. did you not notice. the symptoms have described?"
 Not to think of them as synnp- toms of poisoning" Eva Turner an- swered. T noticed that Mir. Rsynor was pale, was anemic, and that at times he showed shortness of breath, but these things was trying to cor rect by changes in his diet. As you know, Doctor Fraser, those symp- toms you mention are not exclusive ly the effect of arsenical p 5oning."
 "No, of course not. You couldn't be expected to realize their cause But now. having discovered the presence of arsenic in his system and in his stomach. we know -- we know that MT. Raynor. was being purposely and systematically dosed with arsenic"
 He paused and glanced. around.

the District Supreme Court by
Mrs. Ada M. Trapponier for a
transcript Of a record Of her two
fugitive children, aged nine and
six. years old, respectively, who
she says are somewhere in Vir.
3 gtnia. The petitioner, who lives at
1910 Virginia avenue southwest,
says she is a widow and is entitled
to the services of her children.
The court is told by Attorney
Walter Holland that the father Of
the children, Elton E. Breedon,
died October Z, 1918, and that petit.
toner is their mother and under
the laws of the District is entitled
to their service and labor during
their minority.
Under the law invoked, the mas.

prenticed and from whom such i:p.
