Tho Mysterious Young Miss Who
 TrOublcS Mrs Ticer


 Mrs. Ticer's first words when We found ourselves alone justified my little prenonition that was 10 hear something annoying. I had waited only to ask Katherine to waken Mary and tell her that Noel Neritzen was on the veranda, before settling my neighbor in q dining-room chair out of earshot Of both the veranda and the kitchen. and putting a di- rect question 70 her.
 What Is troubling you, Mrs. Ticer?"
 She laughed q bit uncertainty.
 Y thought you'd catch on that there was something" she said. There don't much get past you, that's certain"
 There was q sub-ly admirirc note ir her voice that gave my vanity q fillip, for Mrs. Ticer Is chary Of compliments.
 '1t's like this" she said. That new family that's taken the I.archos for the Summer the Iincolns-have you heard about them?"
 Only the fact that they've taken i,.' I returned. and then--"Mr. Lin- coin came to ask for water a little while ago"
 She nodded sagely.
 I'm glad Mr. Graham gave him his coms-uppance," she said, and l leaned resignedly back In my chair. realizing that I must wait until Mrs Ticer rounded Cape Horn and came lack again hAore I discovered her real errand.

You know it's TO good. almost dry. and though here's a lake and cis.erns, they can't drink that water. Ticer told him about yon folks. but he didn't expect Lincoln'd 20 up and shoo. off his mouth 'h. way he did"

 Yes or whatever other word or
 combination of words may be used in reply. can be the beginning of a recital Of very strange story, or il
 may be the prelude to a well told truthful account of something that happened contrary to law. On the
 other hand. it may serve to simply let down the bars for the choicest collection Of misstatements one would care to listen to, and again, the stories that follow 1t have often been known to outdo the most comic offerings of high grade vaude- Vllle, in the opinion of those who have had long experience in police court procedure.
 Novice On Witness Stand
 There is the witness who, never having been in a similar position before, can hardly contain himself as he waits for the cases preceding the one in which he is concerned, to be completed. He has talked the whole matter over with his wife and his neighbors and the fel- lows who work near him in the factory or store, and he knows ex- actly what he is going to say when he is asked. Finally. he finds him self in the witness box. He does not know how he managed to get there, as 1t seemed q mile walk from the chair he was occupying when doubt. everyone within hearing of the clerks voice deliberately turned and eyed him, he feels. He raises his right hand as though he feared it would be removed by q well aim cd bullet if he dared hold 1t lower than he could reach above his head, and he speaks right out when he is asked if he would tell the truth. He is not frightened, not bit. he tells himself, but somehow there is something hard and dry in his throat and it certainly gets in the way when he tries to open his mouth.
 He starts telling his story, only to be brought up sharply by the prosecuting attorney, the defense attorney, the defense lawyer and the judge. who allow him to reach the point where he found he had to say they told me" You can not tell anything that someone else told you; that is hearsay,' the trio tells him. Well, all l know is what they told me; I didn't see any thing myself" he replies, and be- fore he knows 1t he is back in his seat and the case is continuing with out his help, aftr all the plans he had made to tell the whole court room just what happened, and when and how
 Smart Fellows, Poor Witnesses
 Court officials find that the best witnesses are those who are careful to tell only what they know, with l out theorizing or speculating. Many 1 men who are more than ordinarily i bright i'll their own line Of business or their profession, find themselves .otally unable to shed the proper i fight on cases in which they are | jailed to testify in police court. !

G.onglegs the Great Blue Heron had been fishing along the Laugh ing Brook and along the Smiling Pool for several days and every day Peter Rabbit had been over 70 make q call on him. Then came morn ing when IS usual Peter went over 10 pay his respects. Longlegs wasn't al the Smiling Pool. Neither could Peter see him anywhere along the Laughing Brook below the Smiling Pool. But Longlegs had heen late before, 80 Peter didn't think much about ii one way or another. He simply sat himself down to wait.

 Why are you glad I am here ." inquired Peter. looking surprised.
 Because" replied Longlegs, T didn't want 10 go away without say ing good by"
 What are you going away for" ." demanded Peter. looking still more surprised.
 "1 am going because l. is time 70 go." replied Longlegs. "I am going because Mrs. Longlees will he want ing 70 have . nest"
 "But where are you going" in piired Peter.
 That's telling" replied Longlsgs.
 Aren't you going 10 nest around here ?" asked Peter.
 "So," replied Longlegs. There Is TO place around here that would suit us at all. We are going farther north 70 a certain quiet little lake hidden in the Great Forest. There arc plenty Of fish there No one is likely 70 disturb our nest. l. Is high time I vas on my way. So l have come to say good by. Peter. Perhaps I'll See you on my way back in the fall. Anyway, I hope l will. l ehall look for you"
 "Bu. your cousin Quauk and tOLr IllIe 'CuSllt OK" ip'! to away mp north to nest" protested Peter. They nest near here. l don't sec why you can't nest here if they do"
 They arc smaller than |" replied 1,onElegs. "They arc not likely 10 be bothered as am. Besides. I 'old YOU the other day how those two legged creatures called men try 70 shoo. me with terrible guns. 1f I should nest down here, they would be sure 70 find my nes, and prohah- :" would destroy if"
 Farmer Browns Boy wouldn't" sad Peter stou'ly.
 True enough, true enough re piled Ionglegs. T know Former Browns Boy wouldn't, but there are others who would, and Farmer Browns Rov wouldn't be able to stop them. No Peter. I must go on Irst as Mr. and Mrs. Quack have had 10 go on. I'm going 10 catch one more fish and then I'm off"
 T hope that fish doesn't come along for . long time" said Peter. but he said 1t 70 himself. You see, he really felt bad a' the though, of parting with Lorelegs. for they had become very good friends.

 Teddy nudged her companion. That's the part I heard, remem- ber","
 Don nodded and held up finger. The machine ground on.
 "The other job aint finished yet. Diana Brooks won't marry me-so I'm going 10 get her the other way. Next time she disappears she'll stay putt
 There was vindictiveness in the tones that registered plainly on the record. Teddy shuddcred.
 Don't be fool, boy. Women al ways get you into trouble. Better leave her alone.'
 Like hell I will, That jane Is due for something for what she handed me. don't forget so easy
 Well, it's Brooks that worries me. It's been hell ever since you, like d fool, got scared the morning after that damn sob sister made her get away and you told Tony Mascal to let Brooks go. He'll get my hide il I don't get his first I'd have him bumped off any minute fl I could just get control of that damn Times oncc.'
 4 long silence followed. broken occa sionally by a brief question or some remark relating to matters of business.
 Don and Teddy waited irspationtly while the cylinder kept on turning, turning, slowly. steadily. Then again came that hoarse voice, harshly ira wiling, long-toned like it's owner.
 T think that fellow Keene is too busy for his own good. IL may be necessary-'
 "1'd like to take that job myself cut in the voice of the younger Wal den. "He's the one Diana is bugs over. What n 'eil the women all geo in him beats me. But they do.

 Don flashed look at tho girl by his side. Her face had gone chalk white. In her eyes was q look Of terror The voice of the record went on:
 "You talk like q fool. What have we the Naletti gang hired for? No sense in taking personal chances"
 For my own satisfaction, But I'll take no chances"
 Again silence held while the cylin- fer kept on steadily turning.
 A gasp from the whito-lipped girl struck Don's ear. He reached over and took her hand in his

After T time another fish came within reach and this time Ionglegs didn't miss He stretched up his neck and gulped that fish down. It was long neck that fish had to go down. Yes. sir it was a long neck that fish had 70 go down. When at last it was down LongIrgs turned 10 Peter. Good by. I"tcr.' said he. And hardly waiting for Peter to say good by, Longlees spread his Erea, wings. folded his long neck back until his head rested between his shoulders, and with his long legs trailing be hind him like q tail. flew slowly and heavily away.

We hope the producer will continue
rehearsing so that when he starts
in business next fall his programs
will be given their full value.
The voice of May Peterson from
WIZ during the Maxwell concert
was q bit damaged by the static
.barrage that surrounded 1t, but still
came to listeners with the purity
and trueness of tone, that has char
acterized this singer throughout her
career. The concert of the Arion
Male Chorus from WIZ Immediately
preceding the Maxwell program, and
the choral numbers of the Filhar-
monia Society of Chicago, which
came from WIS a bit later In the
evening, gave radiotics two I'M
usually fine bits of vocal ensemble
singing.
Aside from these things one of
the most satisfying broadcasts OF
the evening was the Joint program
of CNFM. Montreal, and CNRO, OF
taWa. with a small orchestra, and
the peak of this performance was
a medley of Puccini which severe
copyright restrictions prevent or
chestras in the United States from
performing. There is usually fine
orchestral music on tap at the
Montreal stations, by the way, and
the action of the Federal Radio
Commission in assigning Canada ex-
elusive wave lengths will have the
effect OF bringing some Of them
more frequently and clearly to re.
ceiving sets in this country.

This singer gave all she had to
