something else. Lying fiat on his back beside
the truck, happy and proprietary smile
his lips was the figure of Malignant Smith.
Malignant was sleeping noisily-as though he
hadn't q care in the world.
Winnie Napp was slow TO anger but now a
tense fury commenced to Smolder in his skinny
breast. The glance which he bestowed upon
the slumbering giant shot through with
hatred. And because he hated the man SO
violently, as well as because this was des-
perate situation demanding desperate remedies,
Mr.. Napp acted with Napoleonic cunning From
his pants pocket he produced a clasp knife.
With this he proceeded to carve at a heavy
wooden club. With quiet elaboration, he whit
tied the end Of that club into q handle Then
he walked to the immediate vicinity of the
slumbering warrior and stared down upon him.
"Feller," murmured Winnie, You is goin' TO
git completely kissed right away"
He raised the club in his right hand and it
swished through the air. The sound 1t made
as it carassed the Uranium OF Mr. Malignant
smith was music to the of Mr. Napp
Malignant uttered a long -drawn whooooosh
and became more completely unconscious. Mr.
Napp proceeded TO procure several strands of
rope. He bound Malignants feet and hands
and fitted gag into his mouth Then he sur
Veyed his handiwork.
Samson" he announced "yo' hair is now
cut"
Then he seated himself on the ground and
he stared At the helpless figure of his victim
he found spark of compassion in his heart
In the nrst place, he knew that victory was
his and that Malignant had been victimized by
presuming to pit Drawn against brain.
Malignant returned to consciousness. His
eyes fiickered open and came to rest first upon
the truck and then upon the smiling counte-
nance of Winnie Napp Malignant tried to move
and couldn't. He attempted speech but the
words wouldn't come. Winnie waved him a
CHEEKY greeting.
''Mawnin' big boy" murmured Winnie IT
hope you has Slep good"
Malignants gaze reflected abysmal misery
An now continued Winnie, Il has got me
duty to pufform. Sposin' You remain where
you is at until 1 complete such"
Malignant saw Winnie strut toward the shack
where Director Edwin Boscoe FizZ was sleep
ing and Malignant needed no further hint
Of Mr.. Napp's intentions. He knew Winnie was
about to notify the authorities that he-Malig-
nant Smith-had attempted to make away
with the sound truck, and that there had been
q terrific battle, IN which Winnie had risked
his life for the honor of dear Of Midnight.
A nd now Eddie Fizz and Winnie Napp and
an excited crowd moved toward the mis-
fortunate Malignant Smith. There las a gen.
eral babbl0 of con lecture as they surrounded
his helpless figure. And when all were present
Winnie Napp commenced a brilliant and amaz-
ing Grafton.
Folks" announced Winnie persuasively.

to Malignant that If he he'ps me recover the
truck I know good an well Eddie Fig will

The stunned Mr. Smith saw Winnie strike a
royal attitude
Am then. brethren an sister'n" continued
Winnie in q loud voice, "the awfulleSt fight
took place. an Malignant fit noble an we
all bofe had plenty hard knocks" He des-
ignated his own jaw. Right there Is where
Of them fellers hit me with an iron bar

There rose shout of praise and congratu-
lation. Somebody whipped out a large knife
and loosened the bonds which held Malignant
Smith That unimaginative person staggered
to his feet and stared uncertainty at Winnie
Napp.
Eddie Fizz stepped forward and pumped
Malignant's hand.
