sometimes shrieks, shifts, grunts and
cries like little baby. Yet he does
this most Of the time for his own
amusement, or when too much COM
pany has arrived at the same spot
where an abundance Of food has been
discovered
His love song is more like a war
cry. When you first hear it, your
blood runs cold and your hair begins
to show signs Of standing on end.
No one can give full justice to the
Whoops, cries and groans sent forth on
a Silly night But do not miss the
chance to make the acquaintance OF
porky or listen to his soulful ditty.
As a pet porky Is docile and really
affectionate. He never uses his spikes
on any one, except in self-defense.
They are the most painful barbs that
can enter the flesh, their points 60
ing deeper and deeper. Porky when
In a rage will swing his quill filled
tail, and whatever that tail touches,
it leaves a trail Of pain behind it.
The young are born the first part
of May. They are rather large and
there are usually twins. sometimes
triplets. rarely quartet. According
to one authority, they are nearly 80
times larger than the twin babies of
the black bear.
The quill equipment Of the porcu-
pine is the price the animal has paid
for speed cunning and keenness of
senses. The quills are about one inch
long on the head and four inches
long on the back. The extreme point
is polished and sharp. Porky pos
sesses about one thousand barbs and
sometimes many more. Whether the
daggers carry with them poison as
they enter the flesh or carry infec-
ton on the outside, is not definitely
known. They are imbedded so loosely
in the animals skin that at the Slight
est touch they drop out.
On rare occasions, two of the strang-
est of outdoor folks meet-the skunk
and the porcupine. The skunk gives
its well-mannered warning and not
seeing the porcupine turn out of the
path. as all well-informed neighbors
have been won't to do, fires one vol
ley of gas. The porcupine, enraged
at the insult, swings his spiked tai
with vim and vigor. The skunk. al
most too dazed for action, puts down
another gas screen. The one choke:
while the other screams with pain
Neither is conquered. both too sur.
prised to attempt another bout. Sad.
der and wiser, they each turn down
another path, foes to the end of theil
days.

by name, appeared nervous.

gan, did you not receive a donation
this morning from an unknown per-
son for your proposed hospital
amounting to approximately SIS ,000?'
Chairman Harvey looked amazed.

understand 1t. The donor refuses to
give his name"
The money" suggested Warren,
"is enough to assure the construction
of the hospital?"
More than enough" Harvey agreed.
I'm fact without it we would not be
able to begin operations. Our biggest
prospect, a Mr.. Pelton, refused fatty
to help us"
Inspector Warren stared thought

manner. Try as he would he could
not bring to mind single logical
reason why he should take the hospital
money and return it to Mr.. Pelton.
That is, unless he wanted to explain
certain angles of the situation Of
which only he himself WAS aware.
At length he rose. If l were you

was in Port Harbor. Anything pertain
ing to the betterment Of Port Harbor,
1t was believed, would interest Roscoe
w. Pelton.
1t was therefore with a good deal
Of disappointment, horror and be-
wilderment that the committee dis
covered that Roscoe w. had no more
desire to see a new hospital in Port
Harbor than a public dump in his
front yard. Port Harbor. declared the
multi-millionaire, needed a hospital
as much as an ocean liner needed
jib sail.
Negotiations for the construction
Of the new hospital were Immediately
halted. Lengthy conferences were
held, resulting in the appointment of
a subcommittee which was instructed
to wait upon Roscoe w., for the pur-
pose of further employing his CO.
operation.
The committee was ousted, so to
speak. from the residence of Roscoe
W., without so much as having been
able to see the old man. They tried
again and were again refused admis-
sion. 1t seemed Of little use. Yet
something had to be done. Other do
nations had already begun to come in.
1t was about this time that In
spector Joe Warren of the New York
police force hurried to Port Harbor
in reply to an urgent request from
Roscoe W., himself. Roscoe's house,
it seemed, had been entered and
ransacked on the evening before.
Jewelry and silver had been stolen:
valuable paintings, pieces of antique
china, a small imported rug.
Read that" barked Roscoe W.,
thrusting piece of paper into the
officers hand. Read it and tell me
what you think Of yourself!"
THE inspector scanned the papers
single printed line. Inspector
Joe Warren of the New York police
force is the only man who has the
ability to run down this case. (Signed)
The Flash"
Inspector Warren smiled grimly.
Il suppose" he said, that you have
heard OF The Flash?"
who hasn't?" snapped Roscoe w.
Hes the criminal who has had you
and your police force at your wits end
for the past year. He has committed
no end Of crimes without being de-
tected. It's outrageous!
