Peter Rabbit had stopped near the foot of Inc Billy Possum's hollow tree. Unc' Billy happened to be sit ling in his doorway. At sight of him Peter had a sudden thought. It popped into his head that Cnc' Billy himself was from the Sunny South that he and or Mistah Buzzard had long been the best of friends ot course. Unc' Billy would know what kind of a place or Mrs, Buzzard would choose for q nest. Peter vast cd no time.
 i Good morning. Unc' Billy" said | he. "You are looking fine this morn ing. I don't think have ever seen you looking finer"
 f Inc Billy grinned down at Peter "Ah certainly feel fine, Brer Rab- bit" said he. If Ah felt any finer An wouldn't know what to do with myself. Now, yo' all. Brer Rabbit, look a bit thin to me. Ye, suh, yo' look thin to me. Pears like you must be running around too much" i It was Peters turn to grin. II have been running around consider ably, Inc Billy" said he, I've been looking for the nest of or Mrs. Bug gard. And Two looked and looked until my legs ache and my neck aches"
 | "And haven't yo' found that nest, Brer Rabbit?" inquired Unc' Billy ; Peter shook his head. No" he confessed. "No. Inc Billy. What is more. no one else has, and if there is any tree top in all the Green For rst that hasn't heen looked through for a nest I'd like 10 know where that tree is"
 | rnc' Billy churklcd. He chuckled and he chuckled. He chnckled so long that Peter began 10 get suspi- ious. What is the joker" demand cd Peter.
 'Is there a ioke"" asked Inc Billy. pretending 10 look very much surprised.
 "If there isn't what are you chuck ling over?" demanded Peter.
 Again Inc Billy began to chuckle "Brer Rabbit" said he, ''Brer Rah- bit, yo' all certainly do tickle my disabilities. Where else besides the tree tops have yo' all been a-look- ing?"
 Nowhere else" replied Peter, Where else should We look7"

 Hush, Hannah, you must not speak that way of Mrs. Prescotts mother. We will just have to do the best we can. She is old and rather selfish, you know, aud has no sympathy with modern methods of bringing np children"
 win you please speak to Mir. Prescott about this, Mrs, Prescott? l am quite sure that Mrs Prescott will tell her son, and he will think that I am to blame"
 "1-rs, will call him now 10 make sure he will he home tonight, I think this matter is very i'm portant ono,'
 I went to the phone and called his office. A young girls voice an sWered.
 "Is Mir. Prescott t1ere?" J ask cd.

 Tt is Mrs. Prescott speaking. Will you toll him I wish 10 talk with him?" q told you, Madam, that Mir. Prescott was busy. l will tell him as soon as he has tlnished,'

 Lillian permitted herself quiz zical little smile at my excited question ,"Who is Lee Chow"
 "A sleuth of parts" she answered "Remember ho was Hugh Grant lands old Faithful for years, What he doesn't know about his particular end of the game isn't worth printing"
 The wave of humiliation again swept over me.
 "Then all inc time he has known" I began.
 Lillian lifted her head impcra- lively.
 He has known nothing," she said crisply, "save what you have told him yourself, or what he has heard fin your interviews with Steve until Allen Drake sent his proof that your tramp was the man he wanted. Then l had 10 take him Into my con- fidence. There was no opportunity for getting into communication with Allen Drake, so I had to act upon my own responsibility.
 Tt was necessary to set Steve as . rowing bait to lead Allen to tho real man he wants. lt was also necessary to get away from that hlackmailing murderer the indentfi- cation papers he has been hoding over your head. I'm glad you had sense enough 10 demand them when you provided him with the money for his escape. If you'll hand them over to me, I'd like 10 lok them over before destroying them"
 q Can't Do That. Lillian"
 T can't do that, Lillian," ] said with a catch in my breath-"can't let you destroy them, I mean. No mater what he is, I must keep faith with him. l compelled him to give me those letters in change for the money with which to make his es- cape. and I promised that l would keep them carefully and that if l found his claim to be genuine l would sec that he was put tn pos session of his property
 Lillian's eyes held both admiration and tender pitying amusement, as with a sudden ilnpciuous movement she pulled my face down to hers and . kissed me warmly.

Letter from Leslie Prescott to tho Little MarqnisC, Care of tho
 Secret DronCi.---f nntinuf4I

After making little Jack per fectly miserable the nurse con tinued. Mrs, Prescott said:
 "I'm going to leave you. I'm not going 10 stay with such naughty boy.
 Rising abruptly, she put Buddy down suddenly. IIa WobbIod about little on his uncertain legs and Jack started forward to hold him up. Tn doing SO he ran against him, and the baby fell, hitting his head against inc rocker there. II hted little, and then, of course, pandemonium broke loose.
 Jack was SD frightened that he commenced to screaW, and stopped 10 pick the baby up. The baby, sensing that something terrible had happened, tried to push Jack away and as this was the first time that the baby had not wei coned his brother with open arms, Jack grew more and more fright ened.
 Mrs, Prescott Senior seeing what q terrible havoc she had stirred mp, said; T cannot stand this noise, and left inc room,
 T wiped thc few drops of blood from the bahy's forehead - he really was only scratched, Mrs, Prescott and had succeeded in calming Jack down q little when you came in, and he began to he frightened of you That is the whole story"

"Ah can't say where yo' should look" chuckled Unc' Billy. But if An was to go looking for Sis Bug zard's nest 1t wouldn't be in any tree top. No, suh, it wouldn't be in any tree tops"
 Peter stared hard and long at Unc' Billy. Could it be that the Buzzard nest wasn't in tree top at all? Peter remembered that Whitehall the Marsh Hawk didn't build in & tree. He remembered that there were several feathered families whose nests were on the ground. It didn't seem as if or Mistah and Mrs. Buazzard, who spent so much time high in the air, would make their home on the ground. No, sir 1t didn't seem as if they would do that. But 1t might be. No one so | far had looked anywhere except up in the tree tops. Unc' Billy Possum

 Her eyes were furious.
 He regarded her serenely.

 question: as if incrcdulons amaze ment had caused my rcCoil,
 "Iildgridgc May Find some Trace"
 "I'orgories?" I exclaimed. "Nos torgemes." she returned to talI appearances nonchalantly but I
 knew by tho quick shadow in her eyes that she had prehended and been grieved by my resentment.
 "Thcre's not a chance in a thousand that this scoundrel is any kin what
 ever to your family. I'll admit I haven't anything to go on except hunch of mine, and another one of Lee Chows hut I'd back that old Chinlt's intuition against whole carload Of documents, and my own lunches haven't always fizzled out" There was no concoit in her voice, only a calm statement of something well known to both of us. So my fears of "Steve's" revelations when
 caught, which had been intertWined with my remorse for enabling him 10 escape, began to evaporate.
 "Of course sec your point of view" she went, "Quiotic though
 I may think if, and so I agree that you'd better hold on 10 the docu- ments until we have 2 chance 10
 prove absolutely that Steve is a takor. But you1l let me look them

BEGIN HERE TODAY:

Peter Lyster has lost his memory from shell shock on the western front. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize
 Nan Marraby. to whom he be- came engaged prior to going to France, Nan has since left London 10 return home and care for her three motherless stepbrothcrs. Nan is in touch with Joan Endicott. in London. who suggests that she forget about Peter and encourage the apparent love of Peters friend and fellow officer.
 John Arnott, with whom Peter is spending leave for rest at the home ot Arnott's sister located near the Marraby estate. Joan Is jealous of Arnott's sister and dis gusted with the attentions Of Harley Sefton, money Tender, whom she first met through Peter prior 10 his departure for France. sefton. whom Peter also failed to 1ttoSlllAS pil lilo lNlAlii huS 'NiN Nan that both Peter and her father owe him large sums of money and that 1t is entirely up to her l whether he presses collection. Arnott, his sister and Peter have stopped i'll for tea with Nan. They arc just leaving and Arnott has begged Nan to let him call and 1 take her 10 his home for a visit, 1 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 "vcry we'll" Nan said with sud- den flippancy. Any day you like --- shall be delighted"
 She rurposely avoided shaking hands with Peter before the car started. The last glimpse they had of her as they drove away was her slim figure at the gate, with the three boys, clamorine round her. The day after Arnott and his sister called at Leavenden, Nan met Harley Sefton in the wood.
 He wore riding brooches and l gaiters which he affected when he was down in the country. and he carried his usual crop.
 He liked to play the part Of country squire when he was at Lit tle Gadsden
 Nan rose to her feet when she saw him. dropping the little sweet scented flowers all around her.. her face paling.
 He smiled deightedly as he raised his hat,
 This Is better luck than I hoped for --- was coming to call on you this afternoon
 "Indeed," said Nan.
 Her voice was unfriendly: she kept her hands behind her back.
 1T shan't shake hands with him, even if he offers 10 shake hands with me" she was telling herself detorminedly.
 But Sefton did not offer; he stood ficking his boots with the hunting crop.
 "Did you pick those flowers to throw them away" he asked after a moment.
 Nan glanced down at the scet- tered primroses at her feet.
 "Yes" she said defiantly. "t did"
 A half smile crossed his face.
 That's rather unkind, isn't t?'' he asked.
 Nan flushed; she watched sl- lently while he stopped and gath cred them together.

 Unc' Billy's shrewd little eyes look cd more shrewd than ever and his grin was a broader grin than ever. Must yo' hurry, Brer Rabhit?" said he.
 "Yes," said Peter. 'I have some important business, some very i'm portant business to attend to. Good ble, Unc' Billy"
 Good bye, Brer Rabbit" said Unc' Billy. 'I hope that important business won't take you up in the tree tops He chuckled as he said this.
 "It won't" replied Peter, and away he went. lippert-lipperty -iipN Copyright, 1925, by T. W. Burgess.) )
