and two quarts of milk. We can

"Whoops," said oe, and aimed
the Ford at lane that ran off
from the main road.
Kelly found a likely-looking
glade in no time. They got out,
sat with their backs against the
same tree and began consuming
the sandwiches and milk. Then,
as the sandwiches diminished. it
developed that Kelly had brought
an extra one for Joe. The discov-

Sandman stopped talking, very,
very suddenly.
Save that sangwidge," COM
manded rasping voice from be-
hind a Outstanding thicket, "fer
me-"
If people can jump foot in
the air from sitting positions,
Kelly and Joe jumped it. Their
heads went up simultaneously.
Then it was that they perceived
that which would have given
pause to Attila the Hun.
Half hidden by the thicket
stood an individual with eiephan-
tine shoulders and a jaw like the
facade of the Chrysler building.
The jaw and the granite chin
that seemed to 90 free with it
were a tasteful shade of blue.
And two grappling-hook hands,
thrust out of the foliage, train
ed twin automatics upon Kelly
Archer and Joseph Sandman. The
autOmatics cleaned wickedly in
the MONDAY light.
As Kelly and Joe stared aghaSt
the presence came all the way
out of the thicket. The full effect
was horrifying in the extreme.
And yet the sinister mien of the
behemoth was mitigated some
what by pair OF weak watery-
blue eyes. Judging from his eyes
alone he looked like the kind of
9 guy who might drill his aged
maiden aunt full of holes and
then weep Historically over a
slushy movie.
Mr.. Joseph Sandman had been
brought up in the tradition Of the
Light Brigade. He. knew that you
had to make a pass of some kind
when cannon were in front OF
you.
"Wh-who are y-you" he slut,
tered.
The behemoth attended. to the
inner man before pampering GU
riosity. =,
"Pass me dat dere sangwidge,"
he ordered in his beautifully-ton-
ed voice. At the same time ne
wiggled the right-hand gun:
It was Kelly who passed the
sandwich. The colossus thrust one
of the guns into his coat pocket,
bounced upon the Wand and
wolfed it at a gulp. Then he wlp,
ed his mouth with the back OF
his hand.
"Got any more?" he inquired
Sorry" said Kelly, who seem
ed to have recovered her polse
in miraculous fashion. There's a
tot of milk, though, for mamma's

Joe glanced at her admiringly

Kelly offered bottle half full.
The gentleman Of the, shoulders
raised it to his lips and produced
a sound as of a dradge sulicing
away at river bed. A second
later the bottle of milk was just
bottle, nothing more. The gun
minded man tossed it away.
"Ha" he said, with satisfae-
ton. 81 feel better. / amt ct since

Joe thought it was time that
he got in a word. He tried again
along the same lines.
"Mho are you" he demanded.
The behemoth reached in his
vest pocket, brought forth quill
tOothpic kand set to work on the
left upper molars in the back of
the house.
-"Me?" he said, looking at Joe
sternly. Evidently he wished to
get things straight.
"You," confirmed Joe.
An expression of pride seemed
to cross the weak blue eyes of
the behemoth.
"I'm Ed the Weasel" he an
nOunced.
Then it was that any lingering
doubts as to the true worth of
Miss Kelly Archer passed from
Joe Sandham's mind forever.

gun. "Git up"
1t was clear that he meant
business. Kelly and Joe got up.
