We talked, Mortified. Something

There were tall barns built close
on either side of the little house, the

two windows, opening out onto the
roof of one of the barns. We would
climb up on this roof and throw in
notes warning the spies that 1.-THE

Finally, on the Fourth of July, our
patriotic efforts reached their height.
We decided that more drastic steps
must be taken to rid our country OF

Soon it was deemed dark enough.
We started stealthily through the
courtway. Around in front at last, we
stood in an awed, bewildered group.
Everything was wrong. Nothing was

The lands. If they are sold, the chances
are now mortgages in varying
amounts will have to be placed on
them because most buyers are not in

enough that unless those loans had
