He is just as much 2 member of the Squirrel family as is
 Striped Chipmunk.

Chipmunk yet?'
 For a very good reason--a most excellent reason" replied Digger, T have too much respect for my claws"
 Peter looked puzzled He was pug zled. He scratched a long ear with a long hind foot. He scratched the other long ear with the other long hind foot He would have scratched both long ears with both long hind feet if he could have. But he could n't so he asked a question. You know Peter is great on asking ques- tions. What is the matter with your claws that you can't dig out Striped Chipmunk?" he asked.
 "Nothing is the matter with my claws, but I'm afraid something would be the matter with them If I started digging out Striped Chip munk"
 q don't see why" protested Peter, looking more and more puzzled,
 Because" replied Digger, Strip -l '~lll lJlll ullh llldhtS Illo llOlllc III rocky ground He knows quite we'' that he Is safe there. Now his cou- sin, out where I came from, Seek Seek the Ground Squirrel, dug right in the open where 1t was honest digging. There were no stones there so sometime it was fun to dig for him. You know that little rascal has pockets in his cheeks just the same as Striped Chipmunk. I've heard him called q Gopher, but Of course he really isn't. He shouldn't even be called a Gopher Squirrel be- cause he isn't even related to the Gophers. He is just as much g member of the Squirrel family as is Striped Chipmunk."
 q know" replied Peter, "since you told me about Grubby Gopher have remembered that Danny Meadow Mouse met Gopher down in the Sunny South where he one time spent the winter. He told me all about him and I guess he was 8 Gopher all right, but down there they call him a Salamander. Names i don't mean anything, anyway. They call my big cousin Jumper the Hare i the Snowshoe Rabbit and he isn't a Rabbit at all. He is a Hare. Do you know that, Mir. Badger"
 Digger didn't reply, Instead he changed the subject. By the way" said he, Speaking of your big cousin Jumper the Hare and of wrong names, you have big cousin out where l came from and they call him q Rabbit They call him Jack Rabbit

 "Humph" growled Lord Bulpeter. Has Miss Margaret got any ene- mics"
 Not that I'm aware of my lord, besides the police" replied Jevons. "They seem to have down on her, and on Sir Guy, But the family must have an enemy, or Sir Francis wouldn't have been killed. And the police hadn't come on the scene then"

 You don't know how safe l feel with you watching over me like this, Lee Chow"
 He bowed low, investing the salu- tation with something very like reverence.

Surely no woman ever had more loyal friendship. Surely none owed a greater debt to a. friend ship than l, and I suddenly felt re- bellious against the obstacles which loomed in the way of my attempt to solve the mystery of Hugh Grantland's disappearance.
 Lee Chow's Uncanny Faculty
 That Lee Chow has an uncanny faculty for reading thoughts have been convinced since l first saw him, and it was renewed when he said, with his eyes fixed on mine:
 "Missee Graham not to worry about big boss man now. We fix one thing at time. When bad man fixed, go away, then Missee Graham go find out about big boss man"
 There was such confidence in his voice that the bad man" would be fixed that for d second 1 felt caught in a rushing wind of opti- mism concerning the final elimina- ton of Steve" from our lives. Then l realized that while Lee Chow must have overheard much and deducted more concerning the problem which Steve" had pre- sented to us, he could not possibly know all that Mother Graham had told me. This was something, how ever, which I could not explain to the Chinese.

 But Lord Bulpeter had gathered enough from the halted utterance to shape his own course. He turned away, saying:

 "Ah, of course. You have got to trace the car in which Miss Lathrop was purloined. I heard your man tell you that just before she cried out there was a car on the road" |"
 Blast that duffer," Roake cursed his assistant silently. Alond he said: No, my lord. 1 am not worrying about Miss Lathrop. She is up to one of her tricks again. It is her cousin and lover, Sir Guy, that I am after. From information re- ceived he is expected here tonight, though Miss Lathrop's little hoax may mean a change of plan"
 But what do you want Sir Guy for?" queried Lord Bulpeter. These detective pranks of yours are be- yond me. I shall have a headache till l have slept it off"
 Roake glanced round 10 see that they were beyond earshot of his satellites sir Guy is under suspi- cion of having murdered the late baronet," he replied.

Peter Rabbit, having learned from Digger the Badger about Grubby the Gopher, immediately became curious about Seek Seek the Spermophilc, commonly called Ground Squirrel. Spermophile means eater ot seeds. Digger the Badger had smacked his lips as he exclaimed, Give mo Seek Seel; the Ground Squirrel every time in preference to Grubby Go pher," It made Peter shiver a little to hear his smack his lips that way. He knew that Digger was thinking of good dinners he had had in the long ago.
 How did you use to catch Striped Chipmunk's cousin?' Peter inquired
 Digger grinned. He held up one of his hands, showing the long, stout claw. By digging" said he, "whon I couldn't catch him by surprise. We certainly have had some great dig ging matches, those Ground Squir- res and ]. They are good diggers, but so am l."

 As they passed up tho avenue some lurking shadows materialized out of the shrubberies, but at a word from the Inspector they van- ished. At the front door the white- haired butler was standing in a listening attitude. He eyed the po- lice-officer in the half light with signs of hostility,
 That you, Jevons?" said Roake, "Is Miss Lathrop at home" This is Lord Bulpeter, an old friend of her father. His lordship desires to con- dole with her on her recent be- reaVement"
 Got your company manners on tonight" the old servant rejoined dourly. Miss Margaret ain't in. That's why I'm standing here lis tening. I went to call her to coffee with her aunt and I couldn't find her in the house. Hark to that"
 That" was the yapping bark of a small dog of the "toy" species. The animal seemed to be in trouble.
 Has Miss Lathrop got dog" This was Lord Bulpeter.
 Yes sir - I beg pardon, my lord. A Yorkshire terrier, very much attached to her"
 Roake did not intend to leave the inquiry 10 his companion. noble man though he was.
 Was the barking of the dog what made you come to the front door to listen?" he demanded with a return to hts natural truculence.
 Tt was something much more serious" replied the butler in the tone of one who could tale unfold but wasn't going to.
 Lord Bulpeter took up the run ming and Roake experienced a pang of jealousy at the courteous ten derness in his voice, It did not sound like the voice that had ac- cused him of making faces"
 Look here, Jevons," said his lordship T have got about twenty old servants at Bulpeter Castle, and I respect the breed.

The uncertainty made my voice husky in spite of my effort to con. trol 1t as I hurried into speech.
