Another mystery was his sudden
leap from the position of an obscure
lawyer to that Of one of the best
known in the city and, indeed, in
that Part Of the state. As is so often
the case. his prominence came hard
on the heels Of his newly acquired
wealth.
One day he had seen fairly sue

next thing you heard he had bought

But Sam Church was not working:
he was reading a newspaper
From time to time he looked up,
glanced irresolutely toward the tele-
phone nearby. and turned back again
to the print.

down, puffed savagely on his pipe

Mosey Mud Turtle opened his eyes
at last.
All winter long he had kept them
closed-dOwn under the mud ut the
bottom Of Ripple Greek.
Most Of the time Ripple Creek had
been covered with ice, hut now the
ice was gone and the water and mud
felt warm.
So Mosey slowly moved out Of tho
mud and crawled up on the bank.
II was then that he lifted his ton
shell and stuck out his head--and
opened his sleepy eyes.
Mosey shifted.

Slowly but surely he made his way
toward the little secret bush that
marked the path that led to Scrub

But on the way he passed the tiny
doorway that led down to Jimmy

Mosey. "He sleeps for five solid
