Clancy as a user Of narcotics. New
York has been suffering from the
activities of gang of dope venders
which the vigilance of the entire police
force has been unable to check. While
the confusion and excitement attend

Roman apartment an insignificant
little half-breed, acquiring and selling
dope strictly on his own, has been
slugged and taken to hospital, where
he babbles freely to the police and the
physicians about the source of his

The possibility Of a connection be-
tween the murder of a gentleman and
the slugging Of Slippy Mechano seems
remote, especially so in view of the
fact that while the investigators are
devoting their energies to questioning
all possible suspects, Wiggar, Clancy's

the solving of the mystery, and Wiggar

being derived from the word
"guen" or "gwyn," meaning white,
and worth" signifying a farm or

TREE lovers are always eager
to learn more and more about

u tree friends. AS there are
only 16 species of the genus
ulmus, 1t will not be difficult for you
to recognize any member of the fam
lily wherever you are.
Elms are distributed in all Northern
temperate countries, with the excep-
ton Of Western North America. Five
species are native to our Eastern
States, and one to the Southwest.
Europe has three. and two species
have established themselves in East
ern Asia and Northern Africa. They
are also found in the central and
southern part of Asia.
AS you can see, elms are ambitious
and given to travelling. In fact, all
elm children are famous fliers.
Most Of us know the beautiful
American elm. Because of her grace
fulneSs and height, she Is known as
the queen among trees. This elm
pictured is also known as the Wych
elm, and goes by. many other names
in the Southern States. She pre-
fers the genial climate Of the South.
Here she grows to medium size, has
the traits of her family. and is an
addition to parks, streets or any place
where she finds herself.
In the Winter the lovely gray bark
and many upright twigs make it
easy to identify your tree, and, of
course, the vaselike form is always

First South was not strong enough
to come in with a free bid, despite
the fact that this was duplicate and
South knew that he'd have to come

There may be a slight difference
Of opinion about that, but at any rate
here's how our hero played the hand.

West continued with the queen.
South ruffed and attacked trumps
Immediately by leading small spade

stood up. A spade was played back,
and the jack showing up in EaSt's
hand didn't hurt South's feelings at
all. West, on lead with the ace of
spades, shifted to diamonds. South
had to duck in the dummy. East, ap-
preciating the necessity for getting
rid Of the ace Of hearts, returned
the seven spot of the suit. Had he
returned a club, South would have
been able to get the diamond suit for

This was more than Reddy had bar
gained for. He was willing to fight
one, but he knew better than to try
to fight two such big Chucks as these.

He turned and started off toward

he had given up wholly. He hadn't.
No. sir. he hadn't. Reddy Fox doesn't
give up as easily as that. He was
turning over in his mind q plan to
get one of those Chucks alone.

afraid" thought he, but I don't be-
lieve they'll be such friends when
they think I am not around. I'll just
get out of sight as soon as I can and
then hide where can watch what
goes on"
So when Reddy came to little hol-
low where, by crouching close to the
ground, he was out of sight of the
two Chucks, he stopped and, lying fiat,
prepared to watch those two ChuckS.
He grinned at what he presently saw
In the presence of Reddy, the
Chucks forgot their quarrel, but as
soon as they saw him well on his way
to the Old Pasture, they drew apart
and faced each other. There was
nothing at all like brotherly love in
the looks they gave each other. Sud-
denly Johnny Chuck started as If tc
attack the other, but instead abruptly
turned and made for the entrance to
that burrow. Before the other realized
what he was about he had reached IL
and had his back to the entrance.
Now the tables were turned. If the
stranger wanted that burrow he would
have to get Johnny out, and that
would be no easy matter. Indeed, II
would be almost impossible, for john
ny would not be tempted into leaving
that entrance to fight as the other
had been tempted to do. This was
Johnny's own burrow, and he would
fight for and keep it.
The stranger knew this He made
| few threats and then started off. He
headed for the first burrow Johnny
had dug, the one Reddy Fox had triec
to dig him out Of. Johnny SHOOK
