Because her mother had paid attention

this very moment, entertaining doubts
of the gravest kind. His eyes were pro-
truding a little and he uttered an odd,
strangled sound.

Dolly, meeting his shocked gaze with a
confident unconcern.
Soapy found speech.
"All right? You say it's all right?
How's it all right? If you hadn't pulled
all that stuff"
Say, listen" said Dolly urgently.
Where's your sense? Nothing we could
have done would have headed him off
that, would it? And he'd noticed Chimp
had e. cut finger, without my telling
him, wouldn't he? All I've done is to
make him think I'm on the level and
working cahoots with him"
What's the use of that?"
I'll tell you what use it is. I know
what I'm doing. Listen. Soapy, you
just race into the house and get those
knockout drops and give them to me.
And make it snappy," said Dolly.

Don't you worry, Soapy. I've got
this thing well in hand. When we've
gone, you jump to the phone and get
Chimp on the wire and tell him this
guy and I are on our way over. Tell
him I'm bringing the kayo drops and
I'll slip them to him as soon as I ar

reverence, but. nevertheless, it was

admired his wifes broad, spacious
outlook, but she was apt, sometimes,
to overlook details. But petite" he
said, 'is this wise? I mean, supposing
you do put this fellow to sleep, he's
going to wake up pretty soon, isn't
he? And when he does, won't he raise
an awful holler?"
I've got that all fixed. I don't know
what sort of staff Chimp keeps over at
that joint of his, but he's probably got
assistants and all like that. Well, you
tell him to tell them that there's a
young lady coming over with a brother
that wants looking after, and this
brother has got to be given a sleeping
draught and locked away somewhere TO
keep him from getting violent and doing
somebody an injury. Thatll get him
out of the way long enough for us to
collect the stuff and clear out It's
rapid action now, Soapy. Now that
Chimp gummed the game by letting
himself be seen, we've got to move
quick. We've got to make our getaway
today. So don't you go off wandering
about the fields picking daisies, after
I've gone. You stick round that phone,
because I'll be calling you before long.

the firm, and I always will say it. I'd

It was about an hour later that
Sergt-Maj. Flannery, seated beneath

ward Ho, became aware that he was
in the presence of youth and beauty.
Across the lawn was walking girl who
fell into that limited division OF the sex
that is embraced by the word ''pippin.
Her willowy figure was clothed In some
clinging material of beige color, and
her bright hazel eyes touched in the

and his hand, falling from the salute,

THE RAT Gagged

Another rat is held in the states trap at San

of this world on the gaows few weeks hence.
In terming Gordon S. Northcott a rat one does so
with sincere apologies to the fuzzy rodents who nhabt
buildings, though they to be considered only
disgusting pests.
One can recognize a rat sight and deal with it
as may be deemed desirable. rat in human guise
presents difficult problem. This miserable
wretch succeeded in reaching maturity before 1t was
discovered that he a human being in appearance
only the image of man without the semblance
of soul.

superior mentality at times verged the farcical,

and through the empty fabrications of this rat
No redeeming feature has appeared in Northcott
to inspire single spark of sympathy for him. He
scoffed and slandered his parents, he scofed at
the law and his way prison brazenly boasted that
he would spring the trap himself.
The rat will appear in his true colors before the
time comes when the hangman beckons to him.
If there is any regret at all connected with North
colts impending fate, it is that the triple death SEN
tence imposed by the court cannot be carried out
literally.
