Though hc never had admitted 1t to me, was certain that the greater part Of the money received for the Marvin house had been sunk in the mysterious venture a secret no longer In which Lillian had lost her savings before her serious illness Of q year before, had found out that Dicky had invested heavily in the stock of q new magazine, brought out by q group of his friends and had induc- ed Lillian also to put In the com ] fortablc margin which she always keeps against illness. When the thing slumped. Dicky had sacrificed ] everything to restore Iillian's money and had taken over the whole bur den Of the magazine.
 1 He had worked like tho traditional Trojan over it during the year just past and was actually making T financial success Of il, But ihere was no comfort for me In this, no comradely joy; for the success Of the magazine had been due as much to Edith FairfaX's efforts as 10 Dicky's. Through Dicky's influence she had been given q minor position on the staff, and to the surprise Of everyone--for her work as an artist was ncgligible-she had shown un- usual energy and ability
 "Of course. 1t would be foolish to purchase house before spring, Dicky saIl hurriedly, cvading my rctort. "But how about q furnished apartment? Ede has friends who arc going to Bermuda for tho winter, and she says their apartment on the Drive which they want to rent, Is a pippin.'

Jerome And I'm glad you married her think she's better off than if you hadn't. I've almost decided that most girls shouldn't be drifting about alone. But of course there gre exceptions" Tho last sentence WIS hurried.
 The doorman siGnaled the ap. proach Of Barbara's cab and the conversation ended
 "Goodby," cried Jerome, as she climbed in. Come again and often,'
 "Goo1by," she answered, T will" But as her eyes lifted to the lighted windows Of Fancy's home, they were filled with tears. She turned her head resolutely toward the river as the taxi driver started the car, Jerome had gone back up the steps.
 Barbara leaned forward and spoke 10 the driver. Co np as far as Grants tomb, and then turn back down the drive. I want the Air"
 He wheeled the car around swift ly and they sped up the drive, Bar bara leaned back and closed her eyes. The windows of the taxi were open and the night air swept over i her face.
 She did not open her eyes until they were turning back at Grants | tomb. The drive below was full Of speeding automobiles. Riverside was just setting out for It's nights revels at the clubs and roof gardens.
 sThey drove more slowly on the way back. because of the traffic. Barbara watched the Jersey shore and strained her eyes for a gleam from the river. But it was too far below to be visible.
 Now and then girl and a man strollod along the paths at the side of the roadway, or hung over the stone walls that outlined the cliff over the river. Barbara watched them wistfully.
 The car was just below 1l0th street when Barbara called 10 the dfiver 10 stop, She opened the door and got out. T shan't need you any morc," she said 10 the driver. as she pulled out her billfold. He looked al her wondcringly and nodded his head.
 Barbara made her way to a path in the parkway. 1t wound slowly downward to the first stone wall. Below Barbara could catch a glimpse of other walls. marking off terraces that sloped to the river bank.
 The last slope was lost in dark. ness. Barbara leaned against the wall. staring doTnwards. Not q glinmer Of the water could be seen. but faintly now and then there came q soft snlashing.
 Or the opposite shore. the lights were thickly clustered. Barbara's eyes were fastened upon them. Be tween them and the shore on which she stood. hung an abyss of black ness.
 Barbara left the wall and found another path that led down the sidc of the hill This brought her through black clumps of shrubbery to low CT wall, She took up her stand here. with her body resting against it, her eyes still searching for the black water that lay beneath, T. was near, invisible. terrifying.

young Rat squeal He cooked hia head to one side and listened. He heard the scampering of little feet behind the grain bin. He darted over there and put his nose to the floor. He smelled Rat. His eyes be- gan to glow red. He licked his lips T hear q Rat, smell Rat. pretty soon I'll see a Rat and then I'll taste a Rat" said Shadow, and start ed off with his nose to the floor, just as Bowser the Hound follows the trail of Red Box.
 It didn't take Shadow long to get his breakfast after that You see there were great many Rats in that barn. Farmer Brown had done his best te get rid of them, but they had been too much for him. Robber the Rat believes in big families and plenty Of them. There is very little of the time that Robber and Mrs. Robber, haven't a lot of babies in their home, Rat babies grow up very fast. The result is that 1t doesn't take very long for the Rats to be so numerous that they do & great deal Of damage and become very, very bold. It was this way when Shadow the Weasel arrived in Farmer Browns barn.
 It wasn't more than a day or two before Farmer Browns Boy dis covered that something was happen. ing In the barn. He heard squeaks oi terror and q great racing about He wondered what it meant; and then for just a second he caught a glimpse Of something white. 1t dis appeared in a rat hole. But that | glimpse told Farmer Browns Boy al he needed 10 know. Shadow tho Weasel" he exclaimed. He wasn't welcome in the henhouse, but ht certainly is welcome here. have ar Idea that he has paid already fol that chicken he killed. especially al we had the chicken to eat If h hasn't paid for 1t already. he vii pay for 1t many times over. I hop he'll stay a while. Yes. Sir, I hop, that little scamp will stay a while.
 Though. of course, Farme
 Browns Boy didn't know it. shadoS had already made up his mind tha
 he would stay a while. In fact h
 thought he would stay quite while It all depended on how the supply
 Rats held out This was good hun, ing, the best hunting that shado' had had all winter.
