turn up-it always has so far!"
"Yeh!" scoffed Dugsan. Since the
new commissioner clamped the lid
down tight on the gambling joints
and labor rackets in this burg, a guy
can't make an honest living!"
Don't get sentimental about It'll"
Allenby offered sarcastically. Next
you'll be suggesting that we go to
work for a living!'
Now. don't get me wrong" Dug
gan placated We've both been in
the game long enough tC be able to
figure out an angle somewhere. The
point is, we'd better make us some
dough in big hurry or else we'll be
resting our heels for the Winter in
the city pokey. And wouldn't that be
nice!"
1T COULDN'T be any worse than
the last little bit we did!" AL
lenby shrugged slightly at the recol-
lection. The city clink is certainly
going to the dogs"
A silence fell upon both men as
their thoughts revolved about some
scheme whereby to increase their
slender capital. Finally q CLINT kin
died in Allenbys eyes and he banged
the table with his fist.
How much actual cash have you
got?" he asked Duggan.
About $40, more or less" Dugsan
asserted. "Why?"
Never mind the foolish elections!
Hand me your 10 bucks!" He reached
down into his pocket and produced q
wad of crumpled bills, counted them.
"Thirty-two bucks! Duggan. old p:.l,
I think you are going to spend the
Winter down in Florida, where It's
warm and a guy can make some
money"
Uncle Ben faced the two across the
counter of his pawnshop and frowned
obviously. II could do it. yes. If you
had money for the ring. But how do
I know get 1t back If I give 1t to
you without collateral?"
Listen. Ben, we're in a touch spot.
I've done lot of business with you
and I've always been square, haven't
-" Uncle Ben shrugged and nodded.
"CANT deny that, Allenby,' he was
forced to concede. But where
do I come in? I amt no Santa Claus,
anyhow"
"All you've got to do is lend us that
big diamond ring there for a couple of
days. We pay you $50 for making up
an exact duplicate. which gives you
about $40 profit on the phoney. And
then, when We pull the deal. We cut
you in on third. Isn't that fair
enough?"
Fair enough if you do it," Uncle
Ben admitted. He thought for a mo-
ment. Well make it a deal. I'll have

THAT'S just our ace in the hole,
dummy" Allenby said. "Pinelli
will think nobody has nerve enough
to double-cross him. All we have to
do is to sell him the ring. He can
even have a jeweler inspect 1t. be-
cause 1t will be the real thing. Then
when I hand 1t to him I merely
switch it for the phoney have in
my hand all the time"
Il hope you're right" Duggan as
serted dubiously. I'D rather be in
Jail than where all good people are
supposed to CO."
You Just leave 1t to me. Don't
forget that In the good old days I
used to be pretty slick pickpocket.
I guess I still know how to make my
fingers do what I want them to. AL
you've got to do Is wait until tomorrow
and plan how to enjoy yourself when
you get to Florida"

Here's q note. boys, and thanks
for the ring. Drop around some time
again"
I'D like to have this changed into
nine hundred-dollar bills. and the
rest in smaller bills" Allenby said,
shoving the bill through the wicket
to the teller. He smiled happily.
Just moment. sir" said the clerk
scrutinizing the bill. He loo'ed at
printed list, then pushed a buzzer. In
stantly alarm bells sounded and at
all the entrances armed guards ap-
peared.
What's all this2" the startled AL.
lenby inquired.
This is one Of the Fairchild ram

TITS nice, all right" Pinelli agreed
sdmiringly. II could give it to Nelly

eyes looked at the ring lovingly. II

tuously. that you boys can be trusted.
No one ever crosses me more
than once" He laughed complacent-
ly. And you've known that for a

Alenby looked panied at the impli-
cation. I'VE sure do, Mr.. Pinelli. We're
honest guys when we deal with you"

Y TOWLER the Bobeat had re-
" membered something, and
that memory put an abrupt
end to his plan to visit the
yard of Lightfoot the Deer on the
slim chance that one of the young
Deer might be surprised away from
the others, where 1t could be killed
without danger from the sharp hoofs
Of Lightfoot or Mrs. Lightfoot. He
had remembered that in the late aft
ernoon of the day after the great ice
storm he had discovered that a
Grouse had been made prisoner
under the crust, and the place where
this had happened was right beyond
where he now was standing. Then
he had tried to break through that
crust to get that bird, but couldn't.
That heavy crust had lasted for
several days. as Yowler remembered
only too well. What did that mean?
Why. 1t meant that that Grouse must
have been a prisoner under that crust
all that time Anyway, it must have
been a prisoner as long as 1t had
lived. There was no crust now. but
no Grouse could have lived without
food for the length Of time that that
crust had lasted. A thought that
fairly startled him flashed into Yowl-
er's mind. His eyes glowed with new
" aroused hope.
IT wonder" he whispered to him.
self. II wonder If that Grouse died
under that crust and is still buried
there in the snow. I wonder
All this time YoWler had been
keeping under cover, as is his way.
Now he looked about carefully be-
fore venturing out into the little open
ing among the trees which lay just
before him. He saw no one. He
began stealthily to creep out. He
came to some fresh tracks in the
snow and growled softly as ne giared
ut them. They were the footprints
Of Old Man Coyote. and they were
newly mace. Perhaps Old Man Coy
ote had dug up and carried off that
dead Grouse, If there had been one.
The mere thought made Yowler grind
his teeth
He hurriedly looked for signs of
digging. He saw none and breathed
q little easier. He moved quickly to
the place where he had heard that
tapping, or as near to it as he could
remember. He could still see little
depression where that Grouse had
plunged into the snow. If it had es-
capped there should be another de-
preston in the snow where it had
come out. There was none.
Now all the time Old Man Coyote
was watching Yowler from a thicket
Evening star., 1937-02-16

on the other side of the opening He
had crossed that opening just before
Yowler had come in sight Of it, and
had stopped in that thicket to make
up his mind which way to go. He had
glanced back Just as Yowler stepped
out from under cover on the other
side. Instantly Old Man Coyote had
fattened himself in that thicket so
as not to be seen. His first thought
was that Yowler was following him.
Now what does that fellow want?"
he nnuttered under his breath. What
Is he following me for?"
Yowler began circling about, NOV
ing now this way and now that, all
within a small space. He is looking
for something, but what?" thought
Old Man Coyote. Il came across there
Just few minutes ago and I didn't
see or smell so much as a Mouse
Hello! He has started to dig! 1t must
be that he Is digging for a Mouse.
There couldn't be anything else to
dig for out there. Yes, sir, he must
think there Is a Mouse down there
under the snow. If there is, I don't
see how I missed finding it out. My
nose is as good as tnat fellows any
day 1t must be that Mouse popped
up after I had passed. And could
use Mouse right now. In fact, I
could use several Mice. I don't wish
that fellow any hard luck. but-that's
no Mouse! Now how did he know
that Grouse was down in there?"
Yowler had found the dead Grouse.
He pulled it out on the surface of
the snow. With one paw on it he
glared all around to see If any one
was watching him Then he picked
up the Grouse and bounded into the
nearest thicket He wouldn't starve
this time.
Old Man Coyote licked his lips. He
was filled with chagrin as he watched
Yowler vanish
And I walked right over that
Grouse and didn't know it was there"
he muttered. II wonder how Yowler
knew" But this he hasn't found out
to this day.

Today's Church
Message
THANKSGIVING.

Even amidst war, strife in the So
cial Order, and Race hatred, we have
much at this Thanksgiving Season
for which to be thankful. First, we
have sel-respect. That motivating
factor that puts new life into our eff
forts, and causes us to say that we
shall come out VIGOROUSLY regardless
of the price. Secondly, we have friends
and loved ones, who have faith in u.s.
and believe that, as we face life's is
sues, we will face them as real men.
And, thirdly, we have God who loves
us and is concerned, at all times
about our welfare If we have placed
our trust in Him we need fear no, ul-
innate, defeat. We may face our fail
ures here as did our Pilgrim Fathers
in their weak beginning, but we shall
as they, eventually, win.
