 o. What science Is oldest?

The next story: More Monkey Folk"
New Britain herald., 1927-05-21

In spite of his curiosity, and nev- CT in all his life had be been more curious, Peter Rabbit couldn't help but feel uneasy as he and Danny Meadow Mouse were led about by Circus Mouse In the animal tent on the Green Meadows. It was all so very strange and he had seen such great and curious animal folk that it made his heart beat very fast. But nothing happened to give him | real fright until presently they came to c cage little apart from the others. At the first glimpse of the one in that cage Peter turned and started across the tent, Upper ty-lipperty-lip. Of course Danny Meadow Mouse and his cousin. Cir GUS Mouse. thought Peter must have discovered some danger they didn't see. and they raced after him.
 Peter didn't stop until he was on the other side of the tent. What is it? ?" saueaked Danny. as he came up. panting. quite out of breath.
 Yes" squeaked Circus Mouse. what Is it? What has frightened you so. Peter Rabbit?"
 T saw one of those two-legged creatures called men. and I never trust one Of them excepting Farmer Browns Boy" said Peter.
 "Where:" squeakcd Danny and Circus Mouse together.
 lover there," replied Peter, point Ing to cage that stood by itself.
 Circus Mouse began to chuckle. He chuckled and chuckled in that funny squeaky way Of his. It made Peter quite angry. What are you laughing at::" Peter demanded.
 There isn't any two-legged crea- lure called man over there" replied Circus Mouse.
 ''1 guess know what I saw" re- torted Peter.
 Come back with me and show me-" said Circus Mouse, starting straight back.
 Danny Meadow Mouse hesitated moment, then followed his cousin. Peter was ashamed 10 be left be- hind. He was ashamed 10 admit that he didn't dare do what these two little folk did. So. after a few mo- ments. Peter slowly hoped after them. When they were near enough 10 see clearly in that cage Peter sasped. There he is. What did tell you? If that isn't one of those two legged creatures called men. wat Is it?"
 Once more Circus Mouse began t- c'luclsle. 'Did you ever see man f''asFed wholly in fnr?' inquired 'i"c'!s Mouse. Peter had to admit tlct he never had. Did you ever SO man who could use his feet li'" hands?" inquired Circus Mouse.
 Peter had to adpit that he never had. "Did you ever see man who walked on his hands and feet 2" in oulred Circus Mouse.
 Peter had to admit that he never had.
 Then watch that fellow there. Iook at him sharply. You'n see that he is dressed wholly in fur. You wil see that his feet are like hands and that he walks on his hands and feet. So of course he isn't man." declared Circus Mouse.
 He looks like man" persisted | Peter.
 Somewhat, somewhat" agreed sircus Mouse ''If he isn't q man who is he7" fGaanded Peter

 Riggs. Garrett Folsom had [

 ''It has been done, Two heard
 remarked Stone.
 "Yes. We'll. he didn't make 2
 big business of this: he only used a few choice secrets belonging to a few choice friends. or enemies, of his. And I was honored with . place among these. The secret of mine that he knew had to do with my family tree. . is not of a disgracefui nature. but 1t is\ un- fortunate. It Is . blot on the Sears name which. if left alone. will never be brought into the lImeiight and can harm no one. If exposed and misunderstood. as 1t would be, 1t would mean a shadow. not deep. because of it's very vagueness. but a hint of bfackness that would mar the future of my boy-that would perhaps stand in the way of the happiness of my son. Robin. am willing to be more explicit. I am willing to tell you the whole story, but not at this moment"
 "Nor ever," said Fleming Stone. while Riggs nodded in assent. "Go on, Croy. You felt that if you were questioned at all this thing would come out?"
 "Yes, just that. I knew I was innocent of Folsom's death, but those hounds of the law would think, and with reason. that as I had bought more daggers that night, I must of necessity be the one who had made the fatal stab. So l denied having returned and let my case rest on the daggers l had bought while with Meeker. who could vouch for the truth of my story"
 '-INhy didn't they know you when you went back and bought the last lot?"
 T don't know. I chanced to buy them from a man I didn't know. but the other clerks stood about. It's a big shop. But the point Is that somebody else did go there about the same time I did and did buy the bundle that held tLo d,rro, +b,t Gf1,od Ha rro%t T{j som. That's the man we're to find" <.
 That's the man we're to find" said Fleming Stone.
 The program Stone had sug- gested was carried out, and, as a 1t was late in the evening before the conference took place.
 In the meantime the detective had observed the principals of the case, as pointed out to him by Sears at dinner time. and also had gathered sidelights from the re- marks and comments of the rest of their immediate party.
 The Barrons liked Stone at once, for no one could do other wise.
 Fleming Stone was of type hat could command interest if he l chose, or if 1t better suited his | purpose. he could make himself | 90 inconspicuous, so insignificant, 1 that he attracted no attention i whatever.
 On this occasion he was charm- i ng. man of the world good | alker. a polite guest, and both receptive and responsive to the n oods of the others.
 Madeline Barron. at first em- at thought of meeting he celebrated detective, soon 'ound herself at ease in his pres ,nce and meeting his chaff with ! gayety of her own.
 Angel too. was fascinated by he newcomer. and Robin declared he had forgotten his very exist mt In her attention to this new 'ival.
 Ned Barron, in his big. hearty vay, sn,eed genially on them all. But Barron took little part in the fight banter.
