again. and shortly before g O'Clock
were entering upon the mountain road
that led out of New Platz.
As they approached the shack,
Mark realized that in certain sense
he was nerovus. The time was very
near now when he would have to tell
Jessica the truth. She would have 10

had no idea what her reaction would
be. He counted a great deal on Mrs.
Morse, however, although he knew he
would have to assert his authority.
Maude had said authority and force.
He hoped he wouldn't have to use
force
From the road they turned into the
woods and drove a short distance over
what was hardly more than a trail.
With a twist of the wheel Mark drove
the car into a clearing and stopped.
Here we are" he announced.
As they approached the house Mrs.
Moore appeared on the rough little
porch. Jessica was surprised at this.

II didn't know you had any one up

II guess I forgot to mention it TO

Mark showed her the interior of the
place, and Jessica was very enthusi-

fireplace and there was a fire burning.

that filled the room. The little bed
rooms were plainly furnished, but
quite clean, and the beds looked very
comfortable.
After they had looked around Mark
led her down to the stream, a swift
flowing little current that teemed with
fish.

told her. THE Fall is the loveliest
time of all in this place

old Mother Nature.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
quite beside himself. Every one within
sound of his voice knew this. 1t really
was quite shocking. Somebody had
found two of his storehouses and had
taken the nuts that were stored there.
1t was bad enough to have one store
house found and robbed, but when
Chatterer discovered that q certain
special storehouse, in which he had
hidden away many sweet beechnuts,
had been entered and those sweet
beechnuts taken he acted as if he
We're crazy. Some people are that
way. 1t doesn't do them any good and
1t doesn't get them anywhere, but this
doesn't seem to make any difference.
Now, Chatterer had first suspected
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, and
then Rusty the Fox Squirrel But,
though he had watched them and fol
lowed them, he hadn't once discovered
anything to show that they were the
ones who had emptied his storehouses.
So Chatterer was completely at a loss.
He might have suspected Sammy Jay
but for the fact that one of these
storehouses was where Sammy could
not possibly get at it. So he didn't
know who to suspect. and he worried.
