doors loomed wide open in front of them, and
Ken even began to have visions of the electric
chair
So depressed was Spooky in the morning that
Mrs Green was sure he was i'll, and when sne
casually mentioned her appointment with Prof.
Arzah for that day, he flew abruptly from the
room A short time later he met Ken, ana
together they made their unhappy way to the
police station.
They saw the chief almost at once. AS
they entered his Office, he picked up his nat
and motioned them to follow him. In silence
he led them out of the station and down the
street toward the carnival ground.
DEFORE they got there, spooky noticed that
- there seemed to be a great many people
on the street most of them women, and all OF
them were coming from the direction of the
carnival and talking emphatically. Then they
turned corner, and the boys stopped in amaze
ment. The lot again vacant The car
nival was no longer there.
"Why-what-" gaSped Spooky. The
chief of police chuckled
After had a talk with them last night,
those birds decided that they had important
business esewhere and wouldn't stay for their
last days performance" he explained. How
ever, Mr. Oliver Is still in town. want you

At the carnival ground they found Mr.. Oliver.
but now that gentleman had lost some OF mis-
importance. He was waiting for the ofncer, ana
nervously biting at the ends Of his mustache
well" said the chief, walking up to the
carnival man, "I see you got out by the dead
line set"
I'VE were off the grounds at this morn
ing" replied Mr.. Oliver. shortly.
Good" replied the chief. Now if you will
Just step over to the station with me- we'll
settle the little matter of a fine. and I won't
trouble you any more. However, there's one
other thing. I think you owe these two
young men little money. You engaged them
to work today also, and they certainly should
be paid"
Mr. Oliver started to protest. but after one
look at the chiefs face, he changed his mind
Angrily he reached into his pocket, drew forth
a dollar BILL and handed 1t to Spooky.
"AI right" said the chief. You start for
the station. I'll be with you in a minute"
As Mr.. Oliver moved away. Chief Decker
turned to the boys ct hope you realize
that you are getting of easy" he said to
them, "and I'd advise you not to tell ANYBODY
about this. To tell you the truth, you prob
ably deserve to be punished. but it's been q
long time since I've got good laugh as
you gave me with some of the things you
told the professor about people in this town'
And guess you've already suffered enough with
worrying. So we'll just forget it, shall we?"
Shall we?" The two boys looked at the
officer with glowing faces. Gee, chief you're
q peachl"
And that Is the end of the story-or almost
the end The final act in the little drama
was not revealed until several days later, when
it was learned that Miss walters, the school
teacher. had been so charmed by Prof Arzah
that she had run away and married him.
Can you imagine thatl", .howled Spooky
when he heard the news. II guess the pro-
fessor thought he was getting a men "ite'
Boy, looking into that crystal globe OF MS

- POOk4 looked at Ken ana hen looheo

at the chief Of police, who was ad-
vancing toward them. Spooky uttered
- eFpsn,u. gEean; 90. -. =. ..,o to Ken ~r

Chief Decker paused step away from them,
placed his hands on his hips, and regarded
them Sternly.
We'll" he said what do you have to say
for yourselves?" Then his eye fastened on the
telephone. and he stepped forward and exam
ined it. $50, that's how you worked it. Ell?
got suspicious when I saw you coming up mere
before each performance, and it didn't take
much figuring to see that you were tied up
with this marvellous fortune teller. But didn't
understand Just how the stunt was worked
Since Spooky's one remark neither OF the
boys had said a word. But now Ken licked his
dry lips.
what are you going to do with us. sir?" he
inquired anxiously.
"Do?" The chief thought for a moment
THAT depends How much we're you getting
for your part in this business?"
Fifty cents each a day" replied Spooky.
Have you been paid yet?" inquired the
officer.
Spooky said they had been paid for the first
day, but not for today.
''Well, 90 down and collect your money" or
dered the chief "and then meet me outside the
grounds. III tell you more then"
nth dragging feet the boys turned and
w went down the stairs. They had to
wait minute to see Mr.. Oliver, but soon they
had their pay, and were walking away from
the carnival A block from the grounds, the
chief of police was waiting for them.
did you collect?" he asked. When the boys
nodded, he fixed them with a stern glance.
What do you think of yourselves anyway,
helping to defraud the poor people of this town
out OF their hard-earned money? Aren't you
ashamed of yourselves?
The boys hung their heads. Then, in fal-
tering voice Spooky explained that they had
been worried ever since they heard about the
professors plans to give $5 readings. They
hadn't thought the 50-cent interviews were so
bad, because they thought all the customers
were getting their moneys worth.
The chief shook his head soberly This is
a serious matter" he said. Probably you don't
know it, but this fortune telling isn't the
only crooked thing about this carnival. I've
been getting al kinds of complaints
Now I'll tell you what want you boys TO
do Go home and say nothing about this to
any one I'm going back and have little
talk with these carnival people. ana III e@-
pect you in my Office at O'Clock tomorrow
morning. BY that time I'll have decided Wnat
I'm going to do with you"
With that he turned his heel and left
them, and the two boys made their way home
in stricken silence.
uCPOOKY," Ken finally gulped, just before
- they parted, "what-what do you sup
pose is going to happen to us?" ~.
"Tm scared to guess" replied Spooky,
and with disheartened goodnight, they
parted. -... .s......- ..-
