a century or more, has been solved.
At least a plausible theory has been
formed as to how the arm came
there. For a number of years
Charles Dustin, whom everybody in
town as well as everybody whe
stopped at the Stoddard House,
knew well, lived at and worked
around the hotel, doing odd jobs and
almost anything that came up to.
be done. Charles was a native Of
Pennington, one of the numerous
sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Dus-
tin, who came to Pennington from
the Province of Quebec a good
many years ago. There were daugh-
tiers, too, and it wasea large family
even for those days when large fam
lies were more common than they
are now. The family separated, some
of the boys and girls going to dis"
tant parts, but Charles remained in
Pennington, followed the trade OF
house painter and raised a family
of his own. His children scattered
and his wife died, which led him to
go to the hotel to live. AS the stoly
goes, and there seems to be no
doubt OF its truth, several years ago
George Dustin, a brother Of Charles
who does not live in Pennington and
whose present whereabouts have
not been located, had an arm am
putated, and entrusted it to Charles
to dispose of. Charles Dustin has
since died, SO it will be difficult to
prove the truth of this theory, as
1t is understood that George Dustin
did not wish to know where the arm
of which he had been deprived was
buried

 "Musscls." replied Graywing rath- CT scornfully. 'Mussels. I thought everybody knew a Mussel when he saw it. The first thing l know you'll be asking me what stones are"
 Well, you needn't be so cross about it." replied Reddy T thought they were some kind of Clans, but if you say they're Mussels. why l suppose they're Mussels. They are not interesting, anyway"
 ''Is that so?" exclaimed Graywing. 'Is that so? Well, I don't suppose there is anything interesting in them to folks who don't use their eyes, would hardly expect you to find anything interesting in q Mus sel. Look at that one over there fast to the side of that rock. It hasn't entered your head to won der how it sticks there, has it?"
 Reddy looked a little bit foolish. It hadn't occurred to him to wonder how that Mussel could cling to the side of that smooth rock. He went over to it now and looked at if. He took hold of 1t. IL was fastened se- curely to that rock. He looked up at Graywing and hesitated. You see, he just hated to admit there was something interesting after all about that Mussel. Then he grinned sheep ishly. I'll take it all back, Gray wing" said he. How under the sun can Mussel hang onto a rock like this ?"
 "Go over and look closely" said Graywing. "If you use your eyes, you probably will see a little vel low thread which fastens that Mus. sel to the rock"
 Rcddy looked. Sure enough it was as if that Mussel was growing with little yellow roots out of the rock.
 That is little sticky matter that the Mussel makes, and which is thrown out and hardens on what ever it touches. ] suppose you wouldn't believe it if I told you that that Musscl con climb up this rock"
 "II believe anything you say" replied Reddy humbly.
 GraywinE looked pleased. Its a fact said he. He can throw out those little threads and they stick 10 the rock, and he can pull himself up. It is very slow work, and il takes him q long lime 10 move n very short distance, but he can move"
 Say" exclaimed Rcddy impul- sively. "Evcrything is interesting when you come 10 know it." (Copyright, 1926. by T. w. Burgcss)
